Breaking the Myth: Men’s vs. Women’s Perfume
One of the biggest misconceptions in modern perfumery is the idea that fragrance has a gender. The truth? Scent is an experience, not a label.
For centuries, fragrance was never about “men’s” or “women’s” categories—it was about materials, moods, and olfactory experiences. It wasn’t until modern marketing took over that perfumes were boxed into gendered labels: florals for women, woods and spices for men. But if we look deeper into history, we see something different. Oud, Musk, and rich Amber were worn by both men and women in the Middle East, while lavender and citrus were historically used by European kings just as much as they were by queens.
At AL Ghaliyah, we refuse to limit scent by gender. Instead, we categorize fragrances by profile and character, allowing you to choose a perfume that speaks to your personality and preferences—not outdated stereotypes.
Choosing the Right Fragrance for You
Rather than dividing our perfumes into "his" and "hers," we created five distinct fragrance profiles, each designed to suit different moods and personalities:
✔ Complex & Bold Collection – Deep, layered, and unapologetically bold. For those who love rich, commanding scents.
✔ Woody Floral Collection – A refined balance of strength and elegance, blending woods with delicate florals.
✔ Fresh Floral Collection – Light, uplifting, and effortlessly elegant with a touch of brightness.
✔ Fresh & Exotic Collection – Vibrant, refreshing, and subtly exotic, perfect for those who seek a unique twist.
✔ Soft Woody Collection – Warm, comforting, and subtly sensual with creamy woods and musks.
Fragrance is personal. Wear what resonates with you, not what marketing tells you to. Whether you prefer deep ouds, airy florals, or fresh citruses, there is a scent waiting to become part of your story.
