Description

GRAVEL American Dream New York 1957 is one of GRAVEL's earlier creations.
It is a tribute to the American Dream, which has lured so many hopeful young people to the USA. Michael Knudsen also followed this call and found his fortune in the New World. A summery yet complex perfume with a fresh, tart citrus note that is subtly rounded off by a hint of basil. Woody nuances gently lend it structure and an elegant note. The slowly evolving jasmine, lavender and vetiver round off this perfume composition and whisk you away to a late summer stroll on the beaches of the Hamptons, just outside New York.
The pebbles make each bottle unique and give it that special something.
GRAVEL New York 1957 is only available in selected boutiques.
