Discover Zesty Citrus-Spicy Berlin: Gallivant Berlin Sample
Surrender to a vibrant, contrasting play of light and dark with Gallivant Berlin, launched in 2017 as a Woody Spicy Eau de Parfum (unisex) crafted by master perfumer Karine Chevallier—a lively masterpiece evoking the urban energy and natural surroundings of Berlin through zingy citrus sparks, spicy tea-pepper, and earthy woody depth. This dynamic city gem opens with a fresh burst of grapefruit, lemon, clementine, and pepper (with schinus molle CO2 extract) for bright, juicy citrus freshness with a peppery-fruity edge, then unfolds with black tea and black pepper for aromatic, spicy heart, anchoring in a grounded base of Haitian vetiver, cedar, and patchouli for woody, earthy intensity with smoky-mineral undertones. It's citrusy yet grounded, fresh yet spicy, optimistic yet urban—like glistening citrus rinds laced with peppery schinus and black tea over crisp Haitian vetiver and enveloping cedar-patchouli, evolving into a lingering, skin-hugging vibrancy in a carefree, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
It opens with an electrifying, juicy rush of grapefruit and clementine—a citrus-aromatic medley that's bright, awakening, and boldly zingy with a peppery-spice edge. The heart unfolds with black tea and black pepper, creating a sophisticated, aromatic-spicy accord that's dense, invigorating, and elegantly balanced. It dries down to a luxurious, lingering trail of Haitian vetiver, cedar, and patchouli—woody, earthy, and subtly smoky—forming an enduring, skin-hugging aura that's magnetic, fresh, and endlessly captivating.
Fragrance Notes – A Woody Spicy Journey

Frequently hailed as a Chevallier classic—citrus-dominant, fresh-spicy, and strikingly lively—Berlin is described as blending zingy grapefruit-clementine opening, black tea-pepper heart, and vetiver-cedar-patchouli base (often praised as a "contrast of light and dark," urban yet relaxed, with addictive citrus subtlety and smooth evolution). It's a versatile year-round staple (ideal for spring/summer or daytime wear) that draws compliments for its moderate projection, uplifting aura, and niche originality. Performance is solid for an EDP: 7-9+ hours longevity (evolves gracefully, intimate to noticeable on skin but good on clothes), moderate projection (clean sillage with citrus-spicy trail), and reliable staying power—transitioning from juicy-citrus vibrancy to a lingering woody-earthy finish. Fragrance lovers praise its high-quality composition, unique citrus-tea fusion, and confident wearability, though some note its linear freshness—perfect for those seeking bold, optimistic woody-spicy scents.
