Gale Hayman Beverly Hills is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Francis Camail. Beverly Hills opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Gale Hayman's Beverly Hills carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A powerhouse from the 90s, Gale Hayman Beverly Hills is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece of dense, spicy glamour, others a headache-inducing civet bomb. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you like audacious vintage scents, this is your cinematic drama in a bottle.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

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:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With eternal longevity and monstrous sillage, this perfume is too potent for office wear, but perfect for making a grand statement at formal events or on a date. Its rich, animalic warmth is best suited for colder weather and night time occasions.

About

Beverly Hills opens with a heady blend of ylang-ylang and bright bergamot, quickly ushering in a rich floral heart. Tuberose, jasmine, and rose intertwine with a dominant, warm spice accord of cinnamon and clove. The dry-down is an opulent, animalic symphony, with civet taking centre stage, supported by deep amber, earthy patchouli, and creamy sandalwood, leaving a lasting, mysterious trail.
