Great fresher, mintier follow-up to Gravitas
Finally doing a proper sampling of the latest and fourth release from the UK house of Naughton & Wilson, launched by Dan Naughton, Gravitas Essentia, the sequel / flanker to Gravitas, the house’s first release back in 2020 and a fresh spicy classic-meets-modern blend that understandably launched the house’s success. Gravitas Essentia, as it’s generally been described, replaces some of Gravitas’ spiciness with a bit of minty tingly freshness. So it’s slightly fresher, but not nearly as fresh as Bon Viveur, the house’s second release. It has a good blend of spicy, fresh, and woody notes, with just a touch of sweetness balancing things out, but overall, it’s a classy scent, which, like the other entries in the line, seems like an homage to past classics but with modern updates. Performance-wise, it’s between Gravitas and Bon Viveur, and I’m pleased with it.
Gravitas Essentia is EDP concentration, priced at $120-125 for 100ml, extremely reasonable in the current market, given its excellent quality, on par with the rest of the house, and is sold not only via the house site (which ships to the US) but also Luckyscent.
8 out of 10
