by Gallivant
Tel Aviv by Gallivant is a bright, airy, and feminine floral that evokes a sun-drenched seaside breeze. It opens with a sparkling blend of citrus—bergamot and clementine—underpinned by black currant, creating a fresh, slightly sweet, and aromatic introduction. The heart is dominated by white florals—freesia, jasmine sambac, and ylang-ylang—which give the fragrance its signature soft, elegant, and floral character, balanced by subtle green and fruity nuances. The dry down reveals a light, musky, and sandy-sandalwood base with benzoin, gently grounding the aromatic floral top notes. The scent is linear and straightforward, developing quietly without dramatic shifts, making it pleasant and low-key. It leans heavily toward a feminine profile, described as elegant, beachy, and reminiscent of sun tan lotion or 5-star hotel lobbies, though consistently marketed as unisex, it feels more aligned with women's fragrance preferences.
