Nida - Limited edition Parfum
THE STORY
Says founder Nick
“Nida, on the uniquely beautiful Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage site off the amber-rich Baltic coastline of Lithuania, has long been the summer retreat of writers - including Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann - artists and musicians.
It's also 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."
THE PERFUME
A tea-infused floral amber, in parfum concentration.
Opening with mandarin, cardamon and incense.
Heart notes: tea, lilac, jasmine, violet, orris and a sunflower accord.
And the base is constructed around cedarwood, patchouli, moss, tolu and a respectful nod to our Baltic location: a radiant amber accord.
THE MAKER
For the creation of the Nida parfum, founder Nick Steward worked with Barcelona-based perfumer Soizic Beaucourt.
A graduate from the renowned ISIPCA school in France, she's a kindred spirit and avid traveller.
Says Soizic: "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"
Adds Nick: "when I discovered Soizic's style, I was particularly impressed by the elegance, joyfulness and clarity of her compositional hand-writing - it took me back to a golden age of high-quality artisanal perfumery"
Nida by GALLIVANT is compounded in Barcelona, Spain and then hand-finished in England, in a genuinely artisanal, small-batch, human process.
