About this product

From Gallivant founder Nick Steward “My curiosity for Africa started in my teens, reading the reportage of Ryszard Kapuściński, the novels of VS Naipaul, later discovering the playful writing of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I was particularly attracted to West Africa. The colour, the style, the joie de vivre, the warmth …Glamorous Ghanaians gallivanting in London. Parisian Ivoirians in their voluptuous pagne dresses.My wanderlust mind was full of the larger-than-life style, the richness of West Africa. The alluringly iconic designs of Air Afrique. Art and sculpture. The Timbuktu fragrance we had in my time at L’Artisan Parfumeur – a gateway perfume to niche.So with this journey to Accra, I wanted to evoke a bygone glamour, the tropical sensuality, an enveloping heat … A taste of the exotic, the musicality, the gorgeous bursting colours of the famous kente waxed cloth.I wanted to feel the easy-going charm of Accra, a happy-go-lucky lightness of being…”The perfume notes:A blend of tropical fruits and spicesTop: the Accra perfume opens with passion berry, hot peppers, mango, papaya, davana, cognac, and carrot seedMid: the sensual heart of this perfume is composed around CO2 coffee extract, saffron, a cocoa accord, tobacco, and styrax.Base: And the drydown is constructed around a leather skin accord, cedarwood, patchouli, vintage vinyl, smoky liatrix, and musks. | Gallivant Perfumes Accra Eau De Parfum, 100ml
