Eau d'Aspiration

Ambition here doesn't smell of an office and a new car, but of tobacco, red fruit, and leather in a hidden corner of the city. GRAVEL Eau d'Aspiration extrait builds on the tension between public confidence and private desire.

Tobacco, bergamot, and davana open the fragrance warmly, brightly, and with a liqueur-like quality. Cranberry and loganberry add a tart red juiciness that makes the tobacco less dry.

Osmanthus introduces a subtle fruity-leathery nuance, while ginger root brings a spicy vibrancy. The dry sand accord beneath them gives a sense of warmth and space, like dust on the edge of a lit street.

Jimmy Anton Studer constructs the composition around the contrast of urban energy and intimate, hidden places. It's not about a motivational perfume, but about a desire that has both a refined and a carnal side.

Roasted tonka, leather, musk, tolu balsam, Mousse de Saxe, and ambergris in the base create a dark, long-lasting trail. The red fruit fades, and the tobacco becomes softer, more resinous, and closer to the skin.

Eau d'Aspiration is not an innocent scent of success. It is tobacco with cranberry, roasted tonka, and Mousse de Saxe — an ambition that, after the doors close, reveals what it truly desires.
