Launched in 1991 by Loewe and crafted by perfumer Jean-Pierre Béthouart, Gala is an Oriental Floral fragrance that defies conventional gender norms with its complex blend of woody, musky, and animalic notes. The composition opens with a bright burst of aldehydes and citrus, giving way to a heart of jasmine, carnation, and ylang-ylang. This floral bouquet is then grounded by warm spices, amber, and leathery undertones, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both intimate and sophisticated.

Application Tips
Apply Gala to pulse points for an intimate warmth that builds gradually. The aldehydic top notes dissipate quickly, but the rich base notes will last throughout the day. For a more pronounced effect, layer it over a light moisturizer.
