From rivers and pebbles
Gravel, the brand with the pebbles (eng. Gravel) in the bottle are certainly a minimalist highlight on the shelf. It is a simple, but visually successful idea. According to the brand, the pebbles in each bottle all come from the Hudson River. Reason enough to take a closer look at the eponymous fragrance.
Right at the beginning, cardamom and coriander spice around the bet, the bergamot, briefly present, quickly crumbles, something sweet floral, probably the rose geranium holds out a little longer, but also remains carefully in the background, but ensures that the present rose still adheres to a bit of lightness. Nevertheless, the first impression is quite dry warm for a perfume named after a river. But maybe the "flussige" still comes?
A course has the Hudson River (haha pun) definitely. However, he does not really become more aquatic. After the prelude, the lavender joins for a while and gives the perfume at times a very classic Fougère coat. At least until the woods come in, because without moss in the base, the fougère impression fades increasingly as the woods from the base become more dominant. This has the advantage that the fragrance despite intermittent fougère for me still remains unisex.
With the woods, the fragrance makes a loop towards a warm and still dry feeling. From water far and wide no trace.
So did the marketing team miss the mark again? Maybe. If you look at the description of the perfume at Gravel but times more closely, it says not that the fragrance is inspired by the river, but, from the pebbles in the river. Aha, so that's the crux of the matter. And joar, with pebbles I can still go along, even if I personally have an association with the fragrance rather of a clearing in the forest in high summer.
