Gatsby 22 is a fresh, floral, Musky scent created for Men and Women in 2022 by perfumer Linda Pilkington.
Review
This scent is super refreshing and crisp with what feels like a standout Juniper note, but is actually a blend of Lemon, Bergamot, and Orange Blossom. Vetiver adds a subtle grassy/earthiness and Musk adds a gentle depth that keeps everything lasting. When you hear the inspiration, you can picture yourself at a chaotic flapper party with the aroma of Gin cocktails in the air. Its lightness, and sparkly quality, make it a perfect scent for any time, place, or occasion, and will work well in any season or weather. Though on the lighter side, it will last. It has a similarity to Gin Fizz from Lubin, but with a hint more masculinity to it.
Inspiration
Gatsby 22 takes inspiration from the energy of the flapper era. Jazz parties, tailored dinner jackets, and Gin cocktails.
Notes
The opening of this scent almost smells like Juniper, but is actually a blend of the Lemon, Bergamot, and Orange Blossom. Osmanthus adds its gentle floral essence to the mix as well. Vetiver adds a faint grassy quality, and Musk a gentle depth and/or warmth. The Leather Accord adds a very gentle Leatheriness, but it never becomes a ‘Leather’ scent. Overall this scent stays fresh, sparkly, and effervescent at all times.
