Forat Al Haider, Head of Beauty Innovation at Chalhoub Group commented: “The reimagining of the Ghawali brand and flagship store represent our commitment to celebrating the luxurious identity, rich heritage and love for our region. Ghawali pays tribute to the sophistication of the Saudi Arabian market when it comes to scents, and the Kingdom’s position as a major player and influencer of key trends in the beauty and fragrance sector, which is why we have chosen to launch our flagship store here in Riyadh. By bridging our strong heritage, cultural identity, and drive for innovation with international lifestyles we have created a concept perfectly suited for our younger generation in the region while inviting the global markets and consumers to take part of our culture via Ghawali.”
Niche fragrances and modern oriental fragrances represent around 20% of the fragrance category, with Niche leading the growth in this segment. Ghawali seeks to leverage this growth through its fragrances.
Following the Riyadh store opening, Ghawali is also set to launch its new collection of perfumes in February and April of this year. In addition, a unique scented tribute is planned for Saudi Arabia in the upcoming months – capturing the specific mood and identity of the Kingdom. The new Ghawali flagship store is now open at Nakheel Mall located on Al Mughrizat, Exit 9, Riyadh.
