Ghaliyah Hind

Haven't experienced Glaiya reflection or emperor hind, since its my second one after rising mysore 1, all i can say is am absolutely loving it, starting reminds me little of crime and punishment from EO due to some fruity nuances maybe because of the jammy rose, in the midway more to a slightly dusty sandalwood like that of RM and during drydown moves more into a beautiful animalic phase from civet, hyrax & sligtly saltiness from onycha shells and leather feel from castoreum. ANd abobe all its comes in 100ml bottel. Loving it...

SOTD : Dixit and Zak Ghaliya Hind Its such a wonderful complex blend that reminds me of Brindaban at initial and later it turns into funky leathery animalic oud with heavy civet feel Very daring scent IMHO but worth having in your collection if you love natural perfumery.

A nice but largely redundant Floriental Chypre style composition with many similarities to earlier releases from the same brand. The perfume opens notes of rose and bergamot with hints of cardamom and other white florals. It settles into a musky powdery base of castoreum, sandalwood, labdanum, saffron, vanilla, olibanum, patchouli, slight oud and other animal musks ( a signature base of this house). If you missed out Emperor Hind or Ghaliyah Reflection, here is your chance to acquire something almost identical but a little more watered down. But alas, I believe this is sold out as well so the secondary markets may be the only option. Enjoy!

Most certainly this brand has a phenomenal digital-marketing team. How else can one get away, charging a ransom for the same fragrance thrice, each time under different names?

Ghaliayh Hind is not the watered down Emperor Hind or Ghaliyah Reflection. EH is dense, spicy, flowery, oudy perfume that to me stands as a benchmark of Eastern Perfumery. GR is more flowery and slightly less natural attempt at EH, due to synthetic ambery base, which has its own right to existance. Ghaliyah Hind is different beast all together. First of all, it is much lighter of a perfume than the other 2 with fewer spices and flowers. To me GH is like an oudy incarnation of Cuir d'Ange by Hermes that is less abrasive. It is light but has presence, lasts good 6-8 hours last time i tested and has eastern flair to it. Where as Cd'A is european leather, GH is more rough, masculine leaning leather with very civilized oud backbone. Easy to wear and definitely bottle worthy if your into leathery themed frags.
