Gallivant Bukhara is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Ralf Schwieger. Bukhara opens with Caraway, Bergamot, Coriander, and Pear, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Clove, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Amber, and Saffron. Gallivant's Bukhara carries a Statement verdict, a iris-led wear.

Bukhara is a truly divisive scent; some rave about its unique earthy iris, while others are repulsed by its 'carrot' or 'plastic' facets. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

About

Bukhara opens with a sharp, fresh burst of bergamot and pear, quickly giving way to an earthy, rooty iris. Spices like caraway and coriander weave through, creating an aromatic, almost soapy cleanliness. As it dries, a soft, powdery jasmine emerges, settling into a warm, musky base with hints of dry apricot and saffron. It's a journey from clean and bright to an intriguing, subtle warmth.
