Ensar Oud Iris Ghalia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Ensar Oud's Iris Ghalia carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a truly divisive, take-no-prisoners scent. For some, it's the holy grail of iris, an operatic masterpiece. For others, it's a metallic, animalic mess. Either way, you can't deny its bold, unique character.

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With eternal longevity and strong sillage, this fragrance is far too potent for office wear, potentially overwhelming colleagues. Its rich, animalic, and luxurious profile makes it exceptional for dates and formal events, though its intensity requires careful application. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Iris Ghalia opens with an effervescent burst of overripe blackcurrant and sweet peach, spiced with an unexpected warmth. This fruity-spicy overture quickly ushers in a rich, buttery iris, complemented by the clean, aquatic touch of water lily and violet's subtle floralcy. The drydown is where the true beast emerges, a luxurious and deeply animalic blend of musk, civet, and ambergris, grounding the composition with raw, leathery depth and eternal longevity.
