About This Perfume
Think soft white flowers, citrus fruits, powdery musk: that is Chanel Gabrielle. It opens with grapefruit, mandarin orange and black currant, moves into orange blossom, jasmine and ylang-ylang and settles on musk, sandalwood and cashmeran. It reads unisex.
This parfum is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for date nights. Released in 2017.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something floral and romantic for date nights.
- Sample first if: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $102.
