I saw it on the shelve at a local drug store. It came in that slanted cylindrical bottle it used to be in, unlike the bottle at Wal-Mart. Anyways, I definitely bought it for reminiscing purposes. In middle school, this was my favorite cologne, along with Aspen. Lol..
As a on adult, I have no idea why I thought so highly of it.. Maybe because ignorance was bliss.
It doesn’t smell terrible, but you need to spraynit once, wait 15 minutes, and then you get a much better representation of it. It balances the notes out better that way.
It’s a peppery, green/citrus vibe on top. That becomes slightly floral, like lavender with a hint of lilac or rose (perhaps that’s the sage and Freesia), which eventually dries down to an animalic leathery, woodsy scent.
Again, it needs to be layered as you apply it. Don’t juat spray a ton on and expect it to smell great. You need to take it slow with this one. Spray it wherever you intend to have it on your body only one spray per body part, wait 15 mins, then spray yourself down again in those exact locations. You’ll find it actually a decent scent. If not..
Just use it as bathroom deodorant. Lol..

I’m looking for the red bottle zero gravity, anyone come across anything please let me know…

@nostalgia30 and others who like Gravity. You can get the gift set with 2×1.7oz bottles on the Kmart website for $15+shipping (around $5-6 if I remember correctly) and usually right after Christmas they drop it down to $8. It’s the best deal on Gravity I have found so far.

Sweet citric suede. I absolutely adore this juice. Not too sure I agree with classing out as an oriental though; although I can understand why. I’d call this the “grunge” of men’s perfume. A little bit of everything good from the past thrown together into an unusual, but excellent amalgamation. I get a “shaving cream” feel to the scent as well, which is an additional bonus. Great stuff at a great price.

I’m a fan of many of Coty’s colognes and Gravity is up there on my list. Kmart has the gift set with two 1.7oz bottles for $8 on their website and it seems to be the best deal around as far as I can tell. I think it’s a great easy going scent that most will enjoy.

Before I start talking about Gravity, I must say that it is my brother’s “signature scent.” It is one he wore since his teenage years about 15 years ago. He currently has like three or four bottles of it and rarely uses his one bottle as he is not a cologne guy like I am. The only scents he uses besides this is 212 Men (though he also likes Cool Water as well) despite me giving him two of my Marc Eckos that I didn’t need. Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, this is my review on Gravity.
Coty Gravity to me is one of those stereotypical 1990’s scents. You smell it and to me think 1990’s for some strange reason. It also smells like a teenage scent that many of the fragcom who are 10 years older than me, likely wore as their first along with Cool Water, Tommy, etc. It is a nice inoffensive smell but boy, is it strong especially on the hour mark of first spray. I borrowed it from my brother’s collection to use twice and it is strong but not overpowering like say Ed Hardy Villain (a similar spicy scent) is. I don’t know if it translates to compliments today due to more sweet fragrances taking up the mantle, BUT I can see why it did years ago.
I find it is a very heavy pepper scent with a little bit of icy mint similar to Cool Water Night Dive (despite Gravity NOT being aquatic at all) balancing it in the open, pretty heavy cloves in the mid and a leather and vanilla mix in the base with more leather than vanilla. The scent projects pretty good with about an arm’s length maybe more of sillage. Especially if you wear it at the gym like I did the first time I wore it… The second time I wore it was at a dinner situation and it was more arms length. I find it will last anywhere near the three to six hour window even as a skin scent with about an hour to hour and a half of strong projection.
This scent bares some similarities to David Beckham Homme with a peppery leathery scent BUT they do NOT really smell a like, they just have similar notes and performance. In another comparison, this isn’t similar to Calvin Klein Obsession for Men or the similar smelling Elizabeth Taylor Passion for Men. Obsession don’t smell as good on me and honestly makes me want to take a shower after I’ve tested it because it is harsh with my body chemistry and just stays and stays. While Passion smells really good on me, it is more fruity in the open and not peppery nor leathery. Gravity however is just a pleasant smell with my chemistry and just isn’t a great scent for my chemistry.
I find Gravity is OK to wear a kick-it scent or a work scent. It isn’t going to be a compliment getter like the other orientals I mentioned OR the more fruity and gourmand scents. If you can get it, great but I don’t think this will turn heads. I find that it’s really good for about October/November to early/mid April when it warms up. It may also work during colder summer nights too but be careful on that.
One thing I have to say before rating it is that it seems that unlike MOST Coty fragrances under the Coty banner like Aspen, Stetson (and several of its flankers) or Preferred Stock, Gravity sadly is not seen in as many stores as they are. Even during the holiday season. Considering it is from Coty which has those as well as Adidas and Playboy scents, I don’t get why it isn’t found so easily in stores unless it is going away entirely.
This is worth a buy to try again or try for the first time, IF you can find it. IMHO the prices on eBay and even Amazon are a bit high (which leads me believe it is going away.) I rate it a 6.7/10. Now if only you could find this in stores a little more easily than it is. Considering it is from Coty, I don’t get why it isn’t found so easily in stores unless it is going the way of the Dodo…

To the genderbent question; I can wear this fairly easily despite being female. Gravity pulls more vanilla and powdery on me, in a fashion similar to Bulgari Black. On my husband, Gravity is almost straight pepper and musk.

Had to order this from an American website (I live in Ireland) as it never seemed to cross over to here. Indeed I asked some friends and family and they never heard of it.
I’m glad I got it, there’s something quite unique about “Gravity”, I can’t compare it to anything.
Takes around an hour for it to show its teeth but is quite fiery and masculine when it does. The pepper and vanilla are the strongest notes in this for sure, although classed as a cologne it lasted longer than some EDT’s I have.
Silage is close to the user which is preferred by myself for more masculine scents.
Br’eauDeCologne’s review is spot on, it’s not an every day fragrance but something good when you want a change.
Nice! 🙂
{Update} – Just to state that I received a few compliments wearing this, a lady in work who never comments on anything I’ve worn before walked up to me and said “I really like that” so that’s a good sign!

Just got this in the mail and I’m very impressed. For the price it’s very nice. I’d say its modern, spicy and smooth. It’s not a mature scent but it doesn’t smell like a kids cologne either. I think the packaging is misleading because it seems like it should be in a red bottle! It definately has a “red” vibe to it. I don’t smell the similarity to Jaguar for men but it does smell similar to CK Obsession in my opinion.
Value 9/10
Smell 9/10

Lime and Leather. Both made by Coty. Just sayin’. Eau de Gaga 001.

You will either really like it, or really not. It is a (high quality) synthetic peppery vanilla with an undercurrent of lavender-ish clove and citrus.
I own a couple bottles and may always keep at least one around. This is not an everyday fragrance for me. But when I have a craving for Gravity, it is there for a quick hit.
It is about time this controversial dude was allowed on Fragrantica after all these years.
I can’t recommend a blind buy on this one but if you like it, you will probably REALLY like it. You may even love it.

This is awesome! Memories came flooding in from my teens. ^_^ i’ll have to hunt down a bottle and do a proper review.
