The Fragrance
The inspiration comes from the freshness of the salty sea and dark woody notes of the old clipper ships sailing between Asia and New England. By compiling characters of the ocean, tar and wood with crisp flowers such as lemon, coriander and lavender the result gives a very sophisticated and masculine scent. It is a unique combination of very fine raw materials and fresh watery marine notes. The man behind the fragrance, Pierre Wulff, is one of the worlds most passionate experts on natural scents.
The Bottle
In the past 50 years, he has designed over 500 bottles for famous fashion houses such as Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior and Calvin Klein. Dinands inspiration this time comes from old wicker baskets that sailors used for transporting goods across the sea. The classic blue colour is inspired by water and sky, which is naturally connected to the GANT lifestyle. By using solid, moulded glass the bottle design sticks out and becomes a unique player in the fragrance business. The twist cap is made from the finest Bakelite – a material developed in the early 20th century, which today is considered very exclusive due to the complex production method along with its “retro” appeal.
