Gallivant Amsterdam is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Amsterdam opens with Pepper, Sichuan Pepper, Saffron, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Tulip and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Gallivant's Amsterdam carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, Amsterdam is for those who dare to be different. It’s got a loyal following who adore its unique floral spiciness, but others find it simply baffling, even a bit odd. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Amsterdam opens with a bold, almost medicinal hit of Sichuan pepper and saffron, giving it an earthy, vibrant kick. This quickly shifts to a peculiar floral heart, where a photo-realistic, waxy tulip note intertwines with a subtle rose. The dry-down settles into a warm, musky base of sandalwood and amber, retaining a cool, powdery nuance throughout.
