Gallivant London is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Karine Chevallier. London opens with Violet Leaf and Cucumber, settles into a heart of Rose and Orris, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Gallivant's London carries a Statement verdict, a ozonic-led wear.

London is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, pairing fresh, dewy rose and cucumber with a striking leather base. Some find it innovative and evocative of a rainy London day, others simply can't get past the 'barnyard' leather or 'band-aid' notes. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Its moderate projection and fresh yet interesting profile make it suitable for casual daytime wear, but the distinct leather might be too polarising for formal settings. Reviewers often mention wearing it during the day or on rainy spring days, fitting for offices where strong sillage isn't an issue.

About

Gallivant's London opens with a surprisingly juicy, aquatic burst of cucumber and violet leaf, quickly unfurling into a heart of delicate, dewy rose. But don't expect a gentle floral; a prominent, almost animalic leather note entwines with earthy patchouli, grounded by warm sandalwood and cedar in the drydown. It's a contrast of wet freshness and lived-in grit.
