An ocean full of warmth

Noble, heavy, warm, soft, dark, full, intense, rich ... i'm sure there are a few more hands full of words to characterize this fragrance. Already while spraying on it develops its very special aura, envelops me and I want to cuddle up, make me comfortable in its warmth.

For a long time, Oud was more of an abortionist to me. Too pushy, too medical, too ... i don't know, but as my experience progresses, I seem to get a taste for it. There are now actually two or three scents with oud that don't let me turn up my nose. Across the ocean is definitely one of them.
Here the power of the eagle wood is slowed down by the citric components and gives me an amazingly pleasant scent experience.

Little by little the rose pushes in. Full-bodied and sensual and deep red. And although I actually prefer her lighter colleagues in perfume, this heavy fragrance queen totally inspires me.

I only feel a touch of the wood on the edge, which I find extremely pleasant. Tonka and vanilla also remain in the background, and can only be smelled more strongly in the finish.

The durability is, as with the other two Gravel fragrances, very good. I've been wearing Across the Ocean for almost ten hours now and it's still clearly smelly.
The Sillage is, despite the "strong" ingredients, not too strong.

Conclusion: After already falling in love with A Man's Cologne, Across the Ocean has added one more thing. However, this is by no means an everyday scent for me. I would keep him for myself selfishly, for cuddling times in front of the fireplace or for dawdling evenings on the couch with a nice glass of wine and a good book.
An autumn and winter fragrance of the finest. But this is only my modest opinion ;-)
