Yusuf Ghalia 15ml By Ensar Oud
This is a high-concentration extrait de parfum anchored in the final harvests that gave birth to Oud Yusuf, a benchmark artisanal oud oil distilled by a small family operation that ceased production in 2019.
Yusuf Ghalia in spray format translates the complexity of the original ghalia into a structure designed for broader diffusion and wearability, enhanced layering, and sustained projection, while preserving the integrity of its core materials.
But you’re not just getting Oud Yusuf. At the heart of the composition is a rare infusion: Oud Yusuf steeped in Tibetan musk over several years. This infusion forms the structural base of the perfume, anchoring it with a musky-oud signature that is both a historical first and materially… nose-bending bliss.
Unlike typical oud-musk pairings, this infusion was created using sustainable resin harvesting techniques, with no tree felling involved, while the musk is likely centuries old. That method preserved the integrity of the trees and allowed the oud to retain its signature floral-lilac and honeydew tones. The aged musk adds a ghalia-esque refinement and enhances the natural texture of Oud Yusuf rather than mask it.
To expand the structure and give the perfume dimensionality, the composition also contains Crassna Rouge – a delectable Koh Kong oud with a red resin profile and a deeper, more resinous tone compared to Oud Yusuf’s more vibrant, fruity-floral pulse. Crassna Rouge doesn’t compete with Oud Yusuf; it complements it. It adds verticality and contrast, synergizing the honeyed florality of Oud Yusuf with a darker edge – just the regality required for a ghalia.
