Gallivant Tokyo ~ fragrance review

Posted by Jessica on 28 September 2018 13 Comments

Independent fragrance brand Gallivant recently launched Tokyo, a “zingy, spicy, woody fragrance” that’s a tribute to kōdō, the Japanese “way of incense.” Tokyo’s notes include yuzu, bergamot, black pepper, cardamom and wasabi; hinoki, cedarwood, incense, iris, rose and nutmeg; and amber, sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli.

Amsterdam’s composition includes top notes of elemi, schinus molle CO2 extract, pepper and saffron; a heart of tulip and rose; and a base of cedar, musk, sandalwood and amber.

Although I’ve never been to Amsterdam, I enjoyed reading this description as I was wearing the fragrance: “Autumn going into winter. The freedom of cycling, past the former spice warehouses of the Warmoesstraat to a canalside apartment on Prinsengracht on the elegant south side of the city. . . .Flowers in the window.
