John Galliano
Description
A vibrant opening thanks to the aldehydes. Then floral notes of rose and violet grab our attention, followed by powdery tonalities and an intense trail with slightly oriental, woodsy accents. Designed by: Christine Nagel
At a glance
The first fragrance from John Galliano
History
Impertinent and eccentric, John Galliano, the très creative artistic director of the House of Dior, presents his first fragrance. Christened John Galliano, the perfume echoes the designer’s whimsical, exuberant world with a powerful, sweet aldehyde-floral. The bottle and packaging also reflect the designer’s strong personality.
Range
Eau de Parfum 1.3, 2 and 2.6 oz. Body range.
Bottle
The bottle, with its Gothic letter-shaped cap, manages to evoke a woman’s silhouette, the hang of couture clothing and the designer’s baroque spirit – all at once. The package flaunts a heavily made-up young woman who seems to have stepped straight out of a Galliano show.

based on EDT: At first a blast of rose, then it becomes more iris (and i think there is violet as well), a bit sweet green and chill, and after a while balmy rose note rises again and dominates whole stage. Towards the end phrase, its rose note becomes thinner and lighter, gives way to a also light mossy-woody base. Overall, a nice floral scent, tender and lovely, sweet but not silly sugary.
