Ghaliya

$750.00

The Ghaliya Trilogy is a revival of one of the most revered compositions in Islamic history. Rooted in the sacred six, musk, oud, ambergris, saffron, rose, and sandalwood, each blend honours the original spirit of Ghaliya: fragrance as presence, remembrance, and refinement.

Ghaliya Shuyukhi: built around musk, with aged Hindi oud and quiet rose, recalling the humility and wisdom of the scholars.
Ghaliya Malaki: centred on oud, enriched with saffron, ambergris, and Mysore sandalwood, composed for counsel and quiet power.
Ghaliya Sultani: carried by ambergris, softened by rare rose and golden saffron, a fragrance of stillness and presence, made for those who do not need to arrive twice.

Hand-poured and left to rest in small batches, these attars are not modern reinterpretations, but faithful revivals of a tradition once reserved for the most sacred and esteemed.

A Journey To Inspiration

In the candle-lit majlis of the Umayyad courts, scent was not a luxury, it was a presence. A sign of refinement, reverence, and readiness. Among the perfumes of that age, none carried more weight than Ghaliya. Its name, from ghālī (precious), was not exaggeration, but truth. Composed of the rarest ingredients, musk, oud, ambergris, saffron, rose, sandalwood, it was a blend that symbolised purity, power, and prayer.

Musk, revered in Islamic tradition as the scent of paradise, stood at its heart. Oud and ambergris gave depth and longevity. Saffron, rose, and sandalwood bound it into harmony. These were not chosen for ornament, but for meaning, each ingredient a symbol, each blend an act of intention.

At Hunayn, we sought not to modernise Ghaliya, but to revive it faithfully. Guided by the writings of early Islamic scholars like al-Kindī, we returned to the traditional materials, methods, and spirit of its making. Each of the three Ghaliya attars represents one of the pillars: Shuyukhi (Musk), Malaki (Oud), Sultani (Ambergris).

This trilogy is an inheritance, a remembrance of when fragrance prepared the soul as much as it adorned the body. A scent not made for display, but for presence. Not revised. Not recreated. Revived.
