Hunayn's Sumatran Ghaliya carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A citrus-lit, floral and animalic oud Extrait that divides opinion on diffusion but earns strong longevity ratings.

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.

Wearers describe it as a special-occasion perfume, and its dense oud, floral and animalic profile suits deliberate evening wear. The small sample does not show a consensus.

About

Sumatran Ghaliya is a 30ml Extrait de Parfum that Hunayn presents as a contemporary reimagining of ghaliya. The brand names aged Sumatran oud, hinoki, hiba, tuberose, fir balsam, juhi, boronia, Ethiopian civet, black ambergris, hyacinth, Japanese citrus materials and frangipani. It was released in 2025. The notes are given as flat lists rather than a pyramid, so the grouping here follows how wearers describe it: citrus first, then a complex floral development, followed by oud, woods, resins and animalic facets. It is a reading of the scent, not a disclosure of the formula. The response is sharply divided. Positive wearers describe a bright citrus opening, layered florals and a deep Sumatran oud foundation, with sandalwood, salty ambergris and civet among the facets they notice. One calls it warm and distinctive. Another finds the animalic-citrus effect sour and medicinal and says diffusion is limited. Ratings for longevity and trail are above average, but no written account gives a duration in hours, and a small set of votes splits between intimate and strong trail. The above-average ratings are recorded without hiding the disagreement or promising exact performance. The perfume is currently sold out at the brand, but the page remains live and does not say it is discontinued.
