Gdańsk

Description

Step into the rich, earthy, and smoky embrace of Gdańsk by Gallivant, a fragrance inspired by the historical city on the Baltic Sea, where amber, the “gold of the shoreline,” has been cherished for centuries. Released in 2021, this warm, spicy perfume is a tribute to ambergris, the mysterious sea treasure, and the deep richness of amber, evoking the freedom of the sea and the depth of the forests and tanneries of Gdańsk.

The fragrance opens with a lively and inviting blend of Plum, Honey, Cardamom, Nutmeg, and Saffron, creating a sweet, spicy warmth that wraps around you like a golden Baltic sunset. This warm, spicy introduction immediately draws you in, capturing the richness of the city’s bustling markets and the scent of honeyed warmth in the air.

At its heart, Gdańsk reveals a rich, woody core with notes of Leather, Cistus Absolute, Sandalwood Oil from New Caledonia, Patchouli, and Incense Resinoid. These luxurious, woody notes are balanced with a delicate hint of Rose, adding complexity and refinement, like the deep forests surrounding the city and the legacy of tobacco traders and leather craftsmen.

The base is where Gdańsk truly shines. A smoky, earthy blend of Tobacco Absolute, Cypriol, Styrax (Liquidambar), Vanilla, Musks, and Ambergris creates a deep, mysterious finish, evoking the ancient mysteries of ambergris and the dark depths of the sea. This ambery, smoky finish lingers beautifully, a perfect reflection of Gdańsk’s history and charm.
