Souq Wāqif
Souq Wāqif by Gallivant is an unisex parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with blood orange, saffron and frankincense, moves into myrrh, patchouli and geranium and dries down to oud, guaiac wood and labdanum. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Heart
- Myrrh Bitter, smoky resin. Ancient-smelling and slightly cool.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
