London-based independent perfume house, Gallivant is launching a limited edition parfum – a first for the brand. The new scent, Nida, is named after an artist colony off the coast of Lithuania, and it comes in a special decorated 100ml bottle.
Nick Steward, the founder of the brand, says:
“Nida has long been the summer retreat of writers – including Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann – artists and musicians. The Curonian Peninsula is a summer nesting place and an important bird migration route – inspiring our limited edition decorated bottle.
For me, its allure is the unique location, surrounded by water and nature. Peace and tranquillity. The beauty of a simpler, slower life and simple pleasures.
With this trip to Nida, I want to evoke a cool, carefree summer … Peace, quiet, slow easygoing days, walks in the woods, exploring on bike. Barefoot luxury, sunshine, blue skies.”
The fragrance was created for Gallivant by Barcelona-based perfumer, Soïzic Beaucourt, shares Steward’s love for travel, saying “my curiosity to better understand our sense of smell also translates into my attraction for the unknown. I’m always eager to discover new places, explore innovative processes and experiment with unique raw materials. As an insatiable explorer, I like to be on the move.”
Nida, is described as a “tea-infused floral amber, in parfum concentration.”, Opening with mandarin, cardamon and incense. Heart notes are tea, lilac, jasmine, violet, orris and a sunflower accord; with a base constructed around cedarwood, patchouli, moss, tolu, and a respectful nod to our Baltic location: a radiant amber accord.
Nida is available now from Gallivant’s website.
