ALA

Ala is a unisex extrait de parfum by Régalien, the Istanbul house that reinterprets the timeless traditions of the Ottoman palaces with a modern touch. It is a rich, enveloping spicy amber that the house describes as spicy, balsamic and powdery: one of the great palace fragrances reinterpreted with precious absolutes.

The Fragrance

All the scents inherited from history tell a story, and Ala is one of those that wrote it. In the Ottoman palaces, with their vast scent memory, calligraphers mixed precious essences into their ink, and their fragrance can still be sensed today in some manuscripts. From this subtle spirit of history comes Ala, which the house compares to a master calligrapher able to write your name along the paths you walk: discreet, yet unforgettable. Like all the creations of the Heritage Collection, it is made in Istanbul and enclosed in a coloured glass bottle with a golden cap, on whose label the name is traced in calligraphy.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is warm and multifaceted: cinnamon, cognac and apricot blend with the spicy note of coriander and the smooth character of whiskey. In the heart honey, geranium, rosemary and Turkish rose rise with elegance. The base builds Ala's signature: tonka bean, vanilla, benzoin and labdanum intertwine with amber and musk in a rich, warm and long-lasting trail.

Who We Recommend Ala To

We recommend Ala to those who love amber, spicy perfumes with a precious character and are looking for an extrait able to leave an elegant mark. It is perfect in autumn and winter, for evenings, important occasions and for those who want a warm signature during the day too. Unisex, it wins over those who appreciate rich, refined and timeless perfumes.
