About This Perfume
Tokyo by Gallivant is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. Tokyo was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Nicolas Bonneville. Top notes are Black Pepper, Cardamom, Wasabi, Yuzu and Bergamot; middle notes are Hinoki, Incense, Nutmeg, Cedar, Iris and Rose; base notes are Sandalwood, Amber, Vetiver and Patchouli. "Tokyo is the inspiration behind a new fragrance, the seventh in the Gallivant collection, launched globally in September 2018. Zingy, spicy, woody – a playful tribute to kōdō – the Japanese Way of Fragrance. Says Nick Steward: “I love travelling to Tokyo. I’ve been going there for over twenty years and I’m continually fascinated by the place, the people, the food, the style, the language – the finesse and attention to detail. What I am trying to evoke with this fragrance is that very special feeling of early morning in the city. The air is humid and misty. Wandering the back streets, electric cables overhead, everything is tranquil and surprisingly quiet – like being in a village with small wooden houses.” “I also wanted to capture the tastes of izakaya eateries, fruits, spices, wasabi – sour and sweet - a zing on your tongue. The earthy dampness of potted plants outside shrines and wooden temples. It’s refined, spiritual – the kōdō ceremony - sandalwood and smoky incense. A calm elegance amid the big city neon energy.” Tokyo is a zingy, spicy, woody fragrance. A citrusy head of yuzu and bergamot with black pepper and cardamom, electrified with a dash of wasabi. A woody heart of hinoki, cedarwood, and incense, with iris, rose and nutmeg, on a base of amber, sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver." - a note from the brand.
