Gamalion Paris is a Parisian niche perfume house founded by Gassama. Its name brings together this family name, rooted in the lands of the former Mali Empire, and the lion, a figure of strength and royalty. Between Paris, the capital of fine perfumery, and West Africa, a land of raw materials and olfactory rituals still little explored, the house follows its own path: giving ancestral ingredients a leading role in contemporary perfumery.
A house of perfume extracts
Every Gamalion creation is an extrait de parfum, offering a high concentration and long-lasting wear. Made in France, the fragrances come in a recycled and recyclable glass bottle topped with a natural wood cap.
The Yélimané collection
Yélimané is a district in western Mali, the cradle of the founder’s family. The collection draws three intimate fragrances from it, each tied to a place or a figure: Bissap Niogomera, red hibiscus infused like the region’s signature drink; Gingembre Nianiela, a spicy burst dedicated to the village of the maternal line; Tombouctou, thiouraye incense and leather in tribute to Mansa Musa.
Two perfumers, two signatures
Chris Maurice composed Bissap Niogomera and Tombouctou with dense, textured structures. Based in Grasse, Emna Doghri created Gingembre Nianiela by pairing raw natural materials with synthetic molecules.
The sizes
Each extrait is available in 100 ml and 15 ml, a travel-friendly size to discover the house or keep your fragrance close.
