Description

This formulation was created by GRAVEL founder Michael Knudsen for Hazel Guggenheim, who helped him realize his vision of a perfume brand. When Knudsen developed this exclusive perfume for her, the production costs were so enormous that it seemed impossible to market it conventionally. It was therefore only bottled for "special" customers over the years. Even today, each bottle is carefully filled by hand.
