Naples

Naples by Gallivant is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ginger, pink pepper, bergamot, sea salt and ozonic notes, moves into incense, cardamom, nutmeg and labdanum and dries down to guaiac wood, patchouli, birch, vetiver and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Sea Salt Mineral and dry. Skin after a day at the beach.
Ozonic Notes The smell of air before a storm. Sharp, clean, slightly electric.

Heart

Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.

Dry-down

Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Birch Clean pale wood. The leaves, not the tar.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
