Inspired by the Arabian desert, Gallivant Abu Dhabi Eau De Parfum is a unisex fragrance from a British brand. This neo-vintage scent features top notes of cypress and pink pepper, leading to a heart of saffron and iris. Apply to pulse points for a warm, leathery drydown that evokes the Empty Quarter.
From Gallivant founder Nick Steward With this fragrance I capture some of the romance, adventure and the beautiful simplicity I first read about in Wilfred Thesinger's Arabian Sands while I studied Arabic at university. That was my first experience of the Emirates and Abu Dhabi. Incandescent light, the sand horizon, the shifting splendour of the dunes, the warm wind from the Empty Quarter, the Rub al Khali desert.
I wanted to evoke an expedition across the dunes and give it a kind of sepia-tinged minimalism. So there's most definitely a dose of nostalgia in this composition, a neo-vintage feeling. I was seeking an emotional echo of those era-defining perfumes from the late 80s and 1990s such as Bel Ami and Fahrenheit, composed by the legendary Jean-Louis Sieuzac.
