Gale Hayman
Hollywood glamour bottled.
Gale Hayman is an American fragrance and cosmetics brand founded in the late 1980s by Gale Hayman, the woman who co-created the iconic Giorgio Beverly Hills boutique and its blockbuster Giorgio fragrance alongside her then-husband Fred Hayman. Following her departure from Giorgio, she launched her own eponymous label, releasing the landmark Beverly Hills fragrance in 1990 — a bombastic, opulent floral chypre that carried the spirit of Rodeo Drive at its most theatrical. The line followed with Delicious in 1994, a lighter, more approachable fruity-floral, reflecting a broader range of moods under the glamour banner. Hayman's career arc — from boutique saleswoman to fragrance industry force — shaped a brand that balanced accessibility with the unmistakable glamour of golden-era Hollywood. The house is now largely archived, its vintage bottles sought by collectors drawn to the extravagance of late-1980s American perfumery.
