GRAVEL “EAU D’ESIRE”
A Captivating Extrait de Parfum Inspired by Desire, Discovery and New Horizons
GRAVEL EAU D’ESIRE is an extraordinary Extrait de Parfum that captures the irresistible pull of desire — the longing for new experiences, distant destinations and life’s most meaningful moments. Sophisticated, sensual and beautifully balanced, this fragrance embodies the spirit of exploration and the pursuit of fulfillment.
Part of the exclusive TRANSCENDENCE COLLECTION, EAU D’ESIRE transforms emotion into scent. It is a fragrance built on contrasts: warmth and freshness, elegance and spontaneity, memory and possibility. The result is a luxurious olfactory journey that feels both familiar and excitingly new.
The fragrance opens with a luminous accord of bergamot and cypress, creating an invigorating freshness reminiscent of a sunrise by the sea. Saffron and nutmeg add a refined spicy warmth, while juicy pineapple and exotic mango introduce a vibrant fruity character that immediately awakens the senses.
At its heart, delicate violet and hyacinth bring floral elegance and softness. These refined notes intertwine beautifully with the aromatic warmth of cumin and clove leaves, creating depth and complexity. Patchouli enriches the composition with earthy sophistication, adding character and a subtle sense of mystery.
As the fragrance settles, a luxurious base unfolds. Musk creates a sensual skin-like softness, while Tolu balsam introduces smooth resinous warmth. The iconic Mousse de Saxe accord adds velvety depth and timeless elegance, while ambergris enhances the composition with richness, refinement and exceptional longevity.
The result is a fragrance that feels radiant, sophisticated and emotionally engaging. Fruity yet elegant, woody yet luminous, EAU D’ESIRE is a scent for those who are driven by curiosity, ambition and the desire to explore life without limits.
Its highly concentrated Extrait de Parfum formula ensures exceptional performance, allowing every facet of the composition to evolve beautifully on the skin throughout the day.
THE PERFUMER’S INSPIRATION
“This creation is built on olfactive contrasts — warmth and cold, past and future, classic elegance with a touch of lightness. A traveler between worlds, carrying fragments of both.”
— Mirella Pomina, Perfumer
This vision defines EAU D’ESIRE. A fragrance that bridges worlds and emotions, combining timeless sophistication with contemporary creativity. It is a scent for those who embrace change while remaining true to themselves.
