Created by Céline Perdriel and launched in 2025, DUBAI by Gallivant offers a refined take on the oriental fragrance world through a modern, luminous and sophisticated lens. This unisex Eau de Parfum is built around a carefully judged balance of floral clarity, woody texture and enveloping warmth, giving the composition depth without sacrificing elegance. The result is a scent with presence and polish, one that reveals different nuances as it develops on skin.
The opening feels bright and magnetic. Pear brings a smooth, juicy facet that lights up the first impression, while neroli adds a radiant floral freshness with a delicate citrus edge. Saffron introduces a more precious, gently spiced tone from the outset, hinting at the perfume’s oriental character without overwhelming the composition. Together, these notes create an introduction that feels vibrant, contemporary and beautifully composed.
At the heart, DUBAI unfolds into a floral signature with richness and subtle contrast. Jasmine sambac lends depth and sensuality, while honeysuckle adds a softer, more airy inflection. The tea accord brings a serene, elegant touch, almost weightless in effect, giving the fragrance a quiet sophistication and a finely textured middle. Cypriol adds an earthy, faintly smoky dimension that links the floral heart to the base and gives the structure extra complexity.
The drydown rests on vetiver, musks and amber, a trio that wraps the fragrance in a smooth, contemporary finish. Vetiver introduces refined woody definition, musks soften the composition with a clean and enveloping feel, and amber leaves behind a warm, polished impression. Floral, woody and oriental, DUBAI expresses a vision of understated luxury with a cosmopolitan spirit, fully in tune with Gallivant’s distinctive olfactory identity.
