Great intersection of notes, among the house's best. Sweet, boozy, resinous, woody, spicy.
This is an overdue proper sampling of Gallivant Gdansk from 2022, the house’s second-most recent release as of today, a diverse mix of plum, saffron, leather, tobacco, amber, and ambergris, per the official note list. With the saffron, leather, and plum in the lead, I almost get a bit of rosiness, probably more because it reminds me, in part, of other fragrances with the common notes than its actual rosiness, but the blend is a warm, sweet blend that feels midway between light and dark. It smells like its rich diversity of notes, and intersection of a few different aspects—sweet, spicy, fresh, leathery, floral—all together in a superb ensemble. It’s an instant love, poetic in a way that is most reminiscent of Istanbul in this house, I’d say, both being provocative enough to be interesting for a night out but cozy for hanging around.
Gdansk is priced like the rest of the house, both in then original $95 for 30ml travel size (the pricing of which has continued to remain the same for years) and in the somewhat newer $200 for 100ml larger size, very reasonable for niche perfumery, particularly considering the high quality and utility of this house’s catalogue. Sold at great boutiques like Perfumology as well as the house website. Also, the fragrance seems to perform among the best of the house.
