What does Imperial Ghaliya smell like?

The top holds Taif rose, Burmese oud and musk, and the heart brings Omani frankincense, Indian rose and saffron. The base closes with Indian oud, sandalwood, Vietnamese oud and ambergris. A floral, spicy and oriental structure rests on a woody, resinous ground, with powdery and smoky tones and an animal edge running through it. It reads dense and dark, with the rose softening the oud. Its profile is close to Zakir Gafur Golden Rose and Faizal Privée Ghaliya Bakhoor.
