Ghazal 3
Oud Ghazal, hailing from Kelantan, Malaysia, is the final installment in our acclaimed trio. This oil is a masterpiece, tailored for Oud enthusiasts who adore sweet, clean leather and musk. With crystal-clear precision, Ghazal 3 balances various shades of leather, sweet dry musk grains, lush greenery, purple/blue florals, and aquatic notes.
This oil, aged to perfection, boasts a deep yellow hue with dense viscosity. Upon application, it’s potent – the person next to you will certainly catch wafts as it lasts for hours on skin. The scent is unique and beautiful, with an aquatic dose of sweet dry musk grains, mineral rocks, oceans, and hide leather. Vintage leather jackets and that retro Mercedes interior smell come to mind.
As the notes unfold, Ghazal 3 transitions to earthy, jungle, and floral stages, with hints of clay pottery, tropical rainforests, and purple/blue florals. The sweet muskiness lingers, accompanied by wisps of heated chips and raw Oud resin. The oil’s Malaysian “tigerwood” vibe towards the base is super woody, dark, rich, and full of life.
Ghazal 3 is a complex, dynamic oil with a diverse symphony of notes that constantly morph. It’s regal yet rounded, sweet yet bitter, dark yet bright – a true masterpiece that rewards close attention and study.
