Created by Karine Chevallier and launched in 2017, ISTANBUL by Gallivant is a unisex fragrance with an oriental, ambery identity. It unfolds through a sophisticated play of contrasts, where aromatic freshness melts into a textured heart before settling into a smooth, warm and embracing base. The overall impression is polished and expressive, with a cosmopolitan character that feels both modern and timeless.
The opening pairs bergamot, cardamom and red thyme, bringing together citrus brightness, gentle spice and an herbal edge with real personality. This vivid introduction leads into a nuanced heart of lavender absolute, Egyptian geranium essence, patchouli heart and sweet myrrh essence, also known as opoponax. Here, the fragrance becomes deeper and more sensual, balancing aromatic, floral and resinous facets with elegance and control.
As it develops, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, amber and musks shape a soft yet substantial base. The woods feel creamy and refined, while the ambery and musky tones add a sense of warmth and quiet sophistication. Vanilla and tonka lend roundness and comfort, wrapping the composition in a smooth finish that remains chic rather than overly sweet.
Presented in a 100 ml Eau de Parfum concentration, ISTANBUL reflects Gallivant’s distinctive approach to perfumery through a scent that suggests atmosphere, movement and sensual depth. It is an appealing choice for those drawn to fragrances with spicy detail, ambery warmth and a composed, memorable presence.
