Perfume Jazz by Jazeel — Ghala and The Palace

In 2018, perfumer Ali Al-Zaabi introduced a line of three fragrances devoted to love: Ghala, Heyam, and Wid. This was the beginning of Jazeel. Over the course of the following five years, the brand added five additional scents to its contribution: Shouq (2020), The Castle (2021), Dawn Ruby (2022), Amsterdam Extreme (2023), and Thousand years Star (2023). As befits a normal Center Eastern brand, Jazeel offers clients a few oud-based scents, cutting edge manifestations, and in vogue business choices. In any case, not surprisingly, it was the works of art that attracted me — the rose-focused structure Ghala and the chypre one The Royal residence. The two aromas are executed in the style of early Amouage, when the Bedouin brand accepted the European norm as its premise and marginally reworked it in its own specific manner, adding oud or animalic notes.

In this unique situation, the name Jazeel takes on another aspect — the aroma jazz norms or evergreens are especially nicely done here! During a jam session, a jazz musician uses a popular song or instrumental as a starting point for solo or group improvisation. With oud, Ghala is a flawless rose. Nonetheless, the sort of rose utilized here isn't the one most generally tracked down in Bedouin perfumery: it is neither sleek nor fine and doesn't fit a calfskin or gourmand base. It is refined in the French noble style, coolly disengaged, practically ethereal. Its pith appears to float in the cool air as though it has floated over from the English Channel. Just the woody note of oud secures it to the earth. In the East, an assortment of rose oil exists with a comparable person — the Taif rose. This oil is overwhelmed by new geranium and even citrusy tones, loaning it a remarkable delicacy.
