Description

GRAVEL Hudson River NY is one of the later creations of GRAVEL and refers to the pebbles (engl. gravel) that make each bottle unique and have always been added by hand. The idea for the name of the brand GRAVEL originated during a walk by Michael Knudsen at the Hudson River, where he first took pebbles from the Hudson and mixed them into a perfume. On that day, the concept for GRAVEL was born. The idea behind it was to make perfume in the USA more interesting for men, as they initially rejected perfume. This was to change in the late 50s and early 60s thanks to GRAVEL. After the success of A Man’s Cologne, which was the first men's perfume in the USA, he kept the concept of the stones and built the brand GRAVEL, as well as all unisex and women's perfumes, around the ingredient gravel (engl. Kiesel).
This initially fresh, floral scent unfolds its full aromas after a short time of wearing and develops a woody, spicy note that is rounded off by a subtle vanilla note.
GRAVEL New York 1957 is only available in selected boutiques.
