Ghalia Linho

An airy and slightly fruity opening thanks to aldehydes and raspberry, counterbalanced by the aromatic and green notes of tarragon and mint, which bridge the heart where you can smell the delicate scent of rose, green reminiscent of the stem, which paves the way for one of the protagonists of this attar, a dry and woody iris, with a powdery effect that drives me crazy, to which white ambergris probably also contributes, due to its mineral, dry and salty side that can be perceived... The base notes reveal the undisputed dominance (although in my opinion already evident much earlier) of Papua oud, with delicately smoky, woody notes, damp earth and a sort of vegetal musk; in short, it smells like the jungle, but the way the whole composition has been approached, in addition to the presence of vanilla and tonka (which lend a vague sweetness and creaminess), creates a refined and easy-to-wear composition, which is not so obvious when the name of a perfume includes the word Ghalia.
