Dubai
Dubai by Gallivant is an unisex parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with pear, neroli and saffron, moves into sambac jasmine, honeysuckle, tea and cypriol and dries down to vetiver, musk and amber. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Honeysuckle Sweet, nectar-like and slightly green. Summer hedgerow.
- Tea Tea with no variety named. Dry, slightly tannic and calm.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
