Gallivant AR RIYĀD is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Céline Perdriel. AR RIYĀD opens with Bergamot, Ginger, Almond, and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Ylang-Ylang, Clove, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, Tobacco, and Frankincense. Gallivant's AR RIYĀD carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A potent, unique yellow floral that blends sparkling soapiness with mature spice. It's a banger that makes a statement, though some might find its complexity a bit much.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and unique, mature spice profile make it less suitable for casual or office wear, where it might overwhelm. This scent shines brightest on dates or formal events, where its luxurious character can truly be appreciated without constraint.

About

AR RIYĀD opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and verbena, given an unexpected nutty twist by almond, soon warmed by a kick of ginger. The heart unfolds into a rich tapestry of orange blossom and creamy ylang-ylang, spiced with cumin, nutmeg, and clove, offering a deep, slightly soapy floral character. The journey concludes with an earthy base of patchouli, sweet vanilla, smoky frankincense, and a hint of tobacco, grounding the vibrant top and heart notes in sophisticated depth.
