Dreaming of The Scented Joy of Buenos Aires
Imagine the last of winter sunshine inviting you to come out, sit, and relax under a low, milky sun. You walk out in the morning wearing your favourite scent, sitting by an oak tree with a coffee mug and a novel in hand. There is a different energy in the air; the world feels very fictitious, and the scent around feels even more sensorial. As you go through the pages of the novel, you find yourself in Buenos Aires. Is it just a dream, or is it a reality? Read about Dreaming of The Scented Joy of Buenos Aires.
A peaceful day to relax. As you go into the lines of the novel, not only are you surrounded by an unexpected view, your still silence gets interrupted by the neighing of horses, as gauchos (South American cowboys) pass by. You find yourself in a grape vineyard, with horses running around. The Argentinian cowboys ride their horses, in rugged leather cowboy boots and leather-made Recado saddles, as the warm sand is kicked up by the four-legged beasts.
As the horses run around, a scent of leather and zesty fruity vineyards takes over the air. Is it just a dream? or a Buenos Aires dream?
It is a sort of dream but one that takes you all the way to South America via the new Gallivant Buenos Aires perfume; a sweet, green, and dry fragrance. It’s a fresh, bright, playful Grape Accord opening. Followed by a burst of citrus, a zesty optimism in the air, mingling with the green scent of tartness with a hint of wood from Paraguayan Petitgrain doing the magic. Fresh, exhilarating, and filled with optimism.
So in a dream-like state, waking up to the sense of flora, the scent takes us on a floral journey into its middle notes; imagine guitars playing in the background and the blooming floral scent of sweet Ceibo flowers, the national flower of Argentina, from its cockspur coral tree, unveiling its floral flamboyance. Its vibrant red petals reflect the bold, passionate spirit of the people of Buenos Aires.
As the fragrance’s middle notes warm up, there is an underlying smokiness in the scent. The Buenos Aires juice is blended perfectly with iconic Yerba Maté, adding a grassy, hay, smoky tobacco-like dimension to the fragrance. While a classic green Fougère accord lingers underneath, adding a touch of timeless elegance to the composition.
The real magical dream of Buenos Aires happens when the lights dim and the perfume reaches its climax. The fragrance dry-down melts into its warm, indulgent base. The richness of creamy, sweet vanilla via Tonka Bean emerges, with its woody, and subtly spicy facets.
The hint of sweetness in the scent dry-down, a delicious swirl of sweet caramelly Dulce de Leche drifts into the arena out of the city’s cafés, giving a warm hug and cuddle.
An evening of passion, adrenaline, and elation fills up the atmosphere. As the Gauchos dance to the beats of the guitars, a rich scent of soft Leather rises up in the air.
It is not a dream; it is a reality. With each note, from the sparkling grape and citrus to the rich leather and tonka, this fragrance tells a story, blending smooth, nutty and woody notes into a romantic sensual love story. A love letter to the city’s dynamic, rich soul.
This perfume isn’t just a scent; it’s an experience, created by Gallivant’s founder Nick Steward in collaboration with Parisian perfumer Karine Chevallier. A sensory journey through Buenos Aires, a place where style, indulgence, romance, meets adventure. It is Buenos Aires in a bottle.
As romance lingers in the air, couples perform the dance of love; tango, passionately on the rhythm of music in the city’s beating heart, surrounded by vibrant, colourful buildings.
Where locals sit and cheer around old cafes, with their glasses of malbec wines singing, dancing and laughing, this is the spirit of Buenos Aires, more than just a place. It’s an invitation to feel, wander, and embrace an old and a new world charm.
