Refined Aromatic Citrus Freshness: Naughton & Wilson Gravitas Essentia Eau de Parfum
Elevate your presence with a luminous burst of mandarin and bergamot citrus fused with aromatic lavender and invigorating mint, unfolding into spicy cardamom-coriander warmth accented by clean artemisia camphor and green bay leaf, settling into earthy patchouli-ambergris depth softened by sweet vanilla and classic oakmoss in Naughton & Wilson Gravitas Essentia Eau de Parfum, launched in 2023 as a refreshed sequel to the acclaimed Gravitas Pour Homme (masculine, aromatic fougère with citrus chypre leanings, sophisticated appeal)—expertly composed by John Stephen to retain the strident yet refined core of the original while adding extra invigorating freshness. Widely praised as a clean, classy aromatic with prominent mint-citrus brightness, cardamom's warm spice, and oakmoss-vanilla chypre grounding, it's often hailed as a versatile gentleman’s scent—merging sparkling herbal-citrus lift with balanced spicy heart and classic mossy-woody base, addictive poise, and strong performance in a contemporary, invigorated composition.
This energizing fragrance opens with a bright, citrusy-aromatic surge of mandarin, bergamot, lavender, and mint for an immediate, uplifting lift that's fresh and radiant, then transitions into a heart of cardamom, coriander, artemisia, and bay leaf for spicy, herbal-camphorous layers that feel clean and intriguing, finally grounding in a base of patchouli, ambergris, vanilla, and oakmoss for earthy, sweet-mossy depth with lingering, masculine allure. It’s citrusy yet herbal, fresh yet warm, bold yet refined—like mandarin-bergamot zest laced with mint-lavender herbs over cardamom-coriander spice, anchored in patchouli-vanilla oakmoss that lingers as a confident, essential aura of refined vigor.
It bursts with mandarin-bergamot-mint—zesty, citrusy, and strikingly luminous with fresh lift. The heart reveals cardamom and bay leaf, crafting a spicy, herbal core that’s balanced, aromatic, and captivating. It dries down to an earthy, lingering patchouli-oakmoss embrace—sweet, mossy, and subtly grounding—creating an enduring, masculine trail that’s clean, versatile, and endlessly sophisticated.

Frequently hailed as a refined evolution in the Naughton & Wilson lineup—mandarin-mint dominant opening, cardamom-bay leaf spicy signature, patchouli-oakmoss chypre anchor, with a strikingly fresh yet polished vibe—Gravitas Essentia unites a luminous citrus burst, herbal heart, and mossy-woody base (often praised as a "refreshed fougère glow," invigorating yet gentlemanly, with citrus lift and herbal depth). It’s a versatile all-season performer (ideal for spring/summer daytime energy or year-round sophistication, perfect from office settings to casual elegance) that draws compliments for its distinctive projection, clean sillage, and irresistible masculine charisma.
Performance excels as an Eau de Parfum: 8-10+ hours longevity (evolves beautifully from citrus burst to oakmoss-vanilla finish), moderate to strong projection (generous yet controlled trail), and impressive staying power for its category—transitioning seamlessly into a lingering refined embrace. Fragrance lovers rave about its premium-quality composition, masterful citrus-aromatic synergy, and effortless luxury, though a few note its bold mint freshness—perfect for anyone seeking elevated fougère scents with citrus brightness and mossy depth.
