Gravel for Men (1957)
by Gravel

I got a decant last week, the perfume is very nice; lemon, sandalwood and I feel some incense too. The real problem is the staying power; it is complete gone in 30 minutes, perhaps the low quality of the decant??? I suggest you to try before buying.

Robert Mitchum, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr - my kind of guys. It's no surprise, then, that a 1957 effort called Gravel A Man's Cologne would appear on my radar. Until recently I had been unsuccessful in locating this grail...Parfumerie Jacqueline in San Francisco has it on the shelf and I had to get it. The smell is indeed a man's cologne, very reminiscent of Caron's Pour Un Homme - sharing it's nutty, vanilla base. In fact, I'd say you wouldn't need to own both and the Caron is more available. The downside is the longevity and sillage. On me it fades within a couple of hours and it becomes very close to the skin. With the potential of the opening, this is a disappointment and at $60 US, I frankly expect a bit more horsepower. But it does smell quite good and any bottle with actual gravel at the bottom can't be all bad.

Typical green old gents' cologne, but very well done.

Starts off with a burst of lemon that quickly dries down into a mix of lemon, sandalwood, and cocoa. Very nice, simple, and enjoyable to wear. I received a decant as a bonus in a trade, and now I'm going to have to hunt down a bottle.
