Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires by Gallivant is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with grape, citrus notes and petitgrain, moves into mate and fern and dries down to tonka bean, caramel and leather. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Grape Purple, candied, unmistakably artificial. Reads as sweet before fruit.
- Citrus Notes A mix of citrus peel with no single fruit named.
- Petitgrain Bitter twigs and leaves of the orange tree. Dry and a little green.
Heart
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
- Fern Not a real smell — the mossy, coumarin idea of a fern that named the fougère.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Caramel Burnt sugar. Rich, sticky and unapologetically sweet.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
