Gravel Hudson River NY is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Michael Knudson. Hudson River NY opens with Bergamot and Geranium, settles into a heart of Lavender, Cardamom, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Cedar, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Gravel's Hudson River NY carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Hudson River NY is a clean, aromatic woody take on lavender and tonka. It is easy to wear, a little spiced and never loud. A sound pick for anyone who likes a tidy, unfussy unisex Eau de Parfum.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

With its moderate sillage and fresh, clean profile, this is an excellent choice for office wear or casual daytime outings. Its elegance also makes it suitable for dates, but it might be too understated for very formal events or high-energy sports.

About

Hudson River NY opens bright and green with bergamot and geranium, then settles into a heart of lavender, cardamom and coriander that adds an aromatic, gently spiced edge. The base is where it warms up: tonka bean and vanilla bring a soft sweetness, while cedar and woody notes keep it dry and grounded. It is an aromatic woody Eau de Parfum that feels fresh at the start and comfortable by the end.
