Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Zimaya Ghali Elegant is a women's eau de parfum released in 2026.
The composition was created for those who enjoy expressive floral-fruity fragrances with a soft musky base and a warm amber-woody finish.
Ghali Elegant combines citrus freshness, a juicy fruity nuance, the radiance of white flowers and the comforting sweetness of vanilla.
The fragrance was created by the UAE-based brand Zimaya, which produces women's, men's and unisex compositions in eau de parfum, perfume and extrait formats.
Ghali Elegant continues the brand's characteristic interest in rich, noticeable fragrances designed to unfold dramatically and offer good longevity.
In terms of its olfactory character, this is a perfume for women who want their fragrance to stand out as an expressive detail of their look rather than disappear into it.
Its very strong sillage makes Ghali Elegant especially suitable for occasions when you want to emphasize confidence, impeccable grooming and individual style.
At the opening, Ghali Elegant smells fresh and juicy: a citrus duo of bergamot and orange is given fruity roundness by pear.
Then the composition becomes more floral and voluminous, bringing orange blossom, rose, saffron and musk to the forefront.
Amber, sandalwood, vanilla and a woody accord emerge in the base, giving the fragrance a warm, smooth and noticeable drydown.
The contrast between the sparkling opening and the dense base is especially intriguing.
The citrus freshness gradually softens into creamy vanilla and sandalwood, while musk unites the floral, fruity and woody nuances into a harmonious whole.
As a result, Ghali Elegant comes across as a dressy composition with a bright opening and a long-lasting sillage.
The top notes are bergamot, orange and pear.
The heart contains orange blossom, rose, saffron and musk, with orange blossom adding a luminous white-floral facet to the composition.
The base is built around amber, sandalwood, vanilla and woody notes.
Ghali Elegant's olfactory profile combines floral, fruity and musky families, along with amber, citrus, gourmand, spicy, white-floral and woody nuances.
Thanks to this combination, the fragrance may smell different depending on the skin's temperature: fresh pear and citrus at first, floral-spicy in the middle and warm vanilla-amber in the sillage.
This eau de parfum is suitable for evening outings, special occasions and cool weather, when rich compositions unfold with particular expressiveness.
The fragrance can also work in a daytime look, but its very strong sillage calls for moderation.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been provided for this release, so it is best to start with a small amount and assess the development after a few minutes.
