What do reviewers say about Ghala and Tabu?
Ghala doesn't perform. It unfolds. The ginger opens bright, then the spices arrive to deepen everything, and the amber-cedar drydown rewards patience. Lasts a full workday on most skin.Ghala
This cologne concentration means Tabu wears closer to the skin than its later EDT counterparts, but it never apologizes for its intentions. The civet and clove remain defiantly present.Tabu
