Bergamot

Obtained from the peel of the bergamot fruit by cold pressing. Smells fresh, zesty, and clearly citrusy with a fine, tart bitterness. More elegant and drier than orange, very invigorating and modern.
Orange

Juicy, sweet and fruity with a soft, sunny citrus freshness. Warmer and rounder than bergamot, less tart and much more approachable. Reminiscent of freshly peeled orange with a lively, friendly freshness.
Lemon

Bright, clear, and intensely fresh with lively, zesty acidity. Direct, clean, and invigorating on the palate. Reminiscent of freshly cut lemon peel and cool freshness.
Basil

Green, aromatic and fresh with spicy-herbaceous facets. Lively, clear and slightly peppery in character. Adds tension, naturalness and Mediterranean freshness to fragrances.
Petitgrain

Fresh, green, and slightly bitter with citrus clarity. Less fruity than orange, more tart and elegant. Reminiscent of orange tree leaves and twigs with a delicate freshness.
Jasmine

Intensely floral, creamy, and sensual with a warm depth. Richer than many other floral notes, soft and radiant. Reminiscent of white flowers in warm night air.
Lavender

Aromatic, clean and fresh with herbaceous-floral facets. Manicured, soothing and classically elegant. Reminiscent of Mediterranean fields, fresh air and clear purity.
Tonka Bean

Warm, soft and slightly sweet with notes of vanilla, almond and dried hay. Creamy, caressing and elegant. Imparts a gentle, sensual and comforting warmth to fragrances.
Patchouli

Earthy, dark and warm with a slightly damp, woody depth. Sensual, distinctive and intense with a long-lasting presence. Reminiscent of dark earth, wood and warm, spicy shadows.
Moss

Green, earthy, and slightly damp with a woody depth. Calm, natural, and classic in character. Reminiscent of forest floor, tree bark, and cool, shady freshness.
Vetiver

Dry, green, and woody with subtly smoky, earthy facets. Elegant, clear, and masculine with natural freshness. Reminiscent of roots, grass, and cool earth after rain.

The promise of the American Dream,

The flair of the elegant East Coast, the energy of New York, and the timeless sophistication of a classic that never goes out of style.

Initially invigorating and energetic

Bergamot, lemon, and orange create a radiant, citrusy opening, infused with a lively, Mediterranean spice from basil. Fresh, clear, and immediately present. After a few minutes on the skin, the real transformation begins: petitgrain, jasmine, and lavender unfold an elegant, soft complexity, underscored by the creamy warmth of tonka bean. The fragrance opens up, becoming calmer, deeper—and irresistibly so. Patchouli, moss, and vetiver lay an earthy, woody foundation that anchors the scent and gives it a timeless stature. A fragrance that develops like an evening in New York—loud and lively at the start, elegant and unforgettable at the end.

An unmistakable signature

distinguishes the SIGNATURE COLLECTION. Unique and charismatic – like its creator, Michael B. Knudsen (born 1911), who traveled from Europe to New York and pursued his American dream by founding the GRAVEL brand with A MAN'S COLOGNE.

Since Michael Knudsen sold his first bottle on 46th Street in New York, he has spent decades in the American metropolis developing perfume concepts that remain unsurpassed to this day.
