About This Perfume

Castilla by Gissah is a Leather fragrance for women and men. Castilla was launched in 2022. Top notes are Bergamot, Saffron, Apple and Rose; middle notes are Carnation, Geranium, Labdanum and Jasmine; base notes are Sandalwood, Vanilla, Leather, Vetiver, Amber and Musk. Castilla by Gissah is described as a unisex fragrance that combines leather, woody, floral and oriental facets. The composition opens with bright bergamot, crisp apple, rose and saffron, giving a contrast of freshness and warmth. A floral-spicy heart of geranium, carnation, labdanum and jasmine adds complexity and a slightly resinous nuance, while the base of amber, leather accord, musk, sandalwood, vanilla and vetiver provides a rich, long-lasting drydown with smooth woods, soft sweetness and a distinct leather character.

Is Gissah Right for You?

Best for: shoppers who want upscale packaging and a woody-amber-patchouli profile with room to trade up, Gissah's range runs from $49 to $899, the widest spread on Scendira. Sample first if: you're eyeing the top of that range, at nearly $900 the priciest Gissah bottles are a serious investment worth researching first. Skip if: you want a strictly masculine-marketed perfume, only 4 of 112 are tagged masculine, this is a unisex-to-feminine house. Woody has more masculine-leaning options at lower prices.
