Gravity (1992)
by Coty

This one is surprisingly complex for the price. It's a bright bonanza of golden summer flowers in the top, which yields to something vanilla-y in the base without losing its botanical aura. It smells like a wild flowering bush that I should definitely be allergic to, but am not. Unlike the similar but more vanilla (literally and figuratively) Stetson Untamed, there's a sharply piercing floral top note, and a leafy enough base so that it's not just smooth and contented, but maintains some astringence. The spray mechanism on my 0.5 oz is lousy, because it needs a few priming presses and dribbles a lot, and the stuff overall is a bit badly behaved: very yellow, drying down to a thick colored gooey residue which smells great but is ugly. I'll have to see if the bigger sprays at the drug stores do this too. But in any case, I think it's a unique and enjoyable cheapy.

Disgusting, VERY cloying, not a good mix at all. Don't even worry about trying this one.

My least favorite "drug store cheapos". I love clove but the clove in this is atrocious. I'm not knocking it because it's Coty/cheap. It's like a Fahrenheit knock-off gone horribly, horribly wrong.

This one is annoying. It’s not only synthetic and mediocre; it has something in it that comes across as bothersome if not unpleasant –probably the leather from the base. Gravity seems a bit metallic (a synthetic clove note); then it moves to a floral middle, which is also somewhat metallic and kind of sharp. It ends with a mediocre leather, which, as I said, is probably responsible for the off aspect that is in the background of the fragrance. NaturalBornThrilla is right in that it smells a bit like Blue Strados, but it’s a hollow copy: Blue Strados was much more refined and more cleanly put together with better quality notes.

I wore this a lot during high school, and have some _really_ fond memories when I smell it. That said, I absolutely cannot wear it now.

Top notes are very intense and peppery, and it dries down to a creamy, powdery leather smell. Not bad, but not great.

My high school sweetie, now my dear husband wore this in high school and I've always loved the way it smelled on him. Maybe it's the leather in it because he has another cologne with "leather" in it and I love the way it smells too! Very fresh, clean and oh so masculine!
