Aroha Ghalia

This attar is a mission to make! You’d never guess it because, at first whiff, it’s such a straight-shooting aroma…

But it’s exactly because of its such a honed aroma that you need everything that goes into making this scent possible.

To this day, other distillers wonder how we made Aroha Kyaku. How do you get that unique smokey-raw-incense aroma?

Next to Oud Yusuf, Aroha Kyaku is arguably the most praised and asked-after oud of the past decade. There’s something about its deep incense core that oudheads find irresistible.

Of course, to make this a proper Ghalia, your bottle includes a fat layer of musk and amber grains which will continue to steep and up Aroha’s noir and add lift, and
