I like this perfume: it is fresh, delicate and elegant all at once. I love how it transforms on my skin; it starts citrusy and fresh and gradually gains elegance. The only downside is the poor longevity for the price. On my skin, it lasts between 4 and 6 hours, nothing more. What a pity, truly.
There is such a fuss about Gabrielle. When it arrived at the perfumery, I ran excitedly to try it. Not only did it fail to meet the expectations of a Chanel. The opening bites and leaves you in a state of ‘what’s next? will it get better?’ and the answer is no. It smells synthetic, very synthetic. Incredible. As others say, I don’t believe Mr Polge worked so hard on this. Tastes differ, I suppose. I respect those who like it, but for my part, given the price of the bottle, I prefer another fragrance.
It resembles CK’s Escape and a little bit of Elizabeth Arden’s Splendor. I like it.
I was gifted a sample and upon smelling it, I thought it was exactly the same aroma as Pleasures.
At first, there are notes of sweet grapefruit and juicy blackcurrants, and instantly I perceive cashmeran with a subtle touch of pink pepper that adds elegance. The florals are barely noticeable, but there is a shy neroli lurking behind the grapefruit. Later, the musk appears, followed by the mandarin and ylang-ylang. Finally, the pear comes through. It is a correct fragrance, like Dior’s Joy, but it fails to captivate.
HORRIBLE! I don’t understand. It promised citrus and florals, but it was a disaster. A flavourless, pointless floral bomb with a poorly blended note mix that gave me a terrible headache within 15 minutes. Then, Shazam! It finally vanished. It cured my migraine, but it disappeared too.
It smells nice, but the value for money makes no sense. Where is the Coco Mademoiselle? To me, it’s that typical scent that gets on your nerves. I wouldn’t buy anything larger than the 30ml bottle.
I didn’t like it at all. Of all the Chanel perfumes, this was the one that excited me the most and the one that disappointed me the most.
It starts with Kristen Stewart’s ice-cold face and everything goes wrong. The liquid is lovely, but the scent is as insipid as she is. Lagerfeld failed by choosing her as his muse, for neither she nor this perfume possess any personality.
Bland, twee, very dull and lacking any real Chanel touch.
I don’t like it. It smells acidic; I can’t quite explain how. Neither here nor there.
Chanel once said a woman should never smell of flowers, as if it were a vulgar bouquet. And this perfume is exactly that: warm flowers, nothing more. The bottle is beautiful and excessively delicate, but the neroli and jasmine are boring. Kristen’s campaign helps not at all. Too rebellious but without class… Blimey, from bad to worse.
The actress with the unisex face didn’t catch my attention. What did stand out was the spritz in the modules: refreshing citrus, followed by fragrant flowers that filled the space. I asked to try it on skin and it was a long-lasting scent that soaked into my vinyl clothes until the next day. Without elegance, with just a touch of the house, it only filled me with artificiality.
I don’t know why people complain so much; I absolutely love it 😍😍😍.
Chanel burst onto the commercial luxury scene with aldehydes, yet No 5 shouldn’t be their forever scent. In the 80s they released the dense, spiced Coco, which shouldn’t be their eternal flanker. In the 90s they created a powdery, fruity oriental, also not meant to last forever. We’re now accustomed to dense, sweet launches, as if there isn’t enough variety… From Shakira to YSL. It doesn’t smell like flowers like a Chance Eau Tendre; it’s a suggestion of vegetal elements: honey, pollen, green leaves, spicy seeds, breeze and sunshine. It’s not a static bouquet; it’s a well-tended park in summer or a neglected garden with trees, herbs and weeds. I’m shocked they’re launching sweet, gluttonous flankers to play it safe. This came out at the height of fruitcholi, and many were taken aback because it doesn’t smell like Coco, Allure or No 5. I love it; it’s a fresh breeze that doesn’t smell soapy among the clones.
Normally Chanel fragrances don’t suit me, nor do I notice the notes, but this was an exception. The fresh, clean floral harmony delighted me when they showed it to me, overshadowing my usual scent. I detected delicate neroli, ylang-ylang, jasmine, fresh roses and sandalwood, though not the citrus. The demonstrator said it was Gabrielle, which seemed odd as it paid homage to the founder, but the perfumer said it was inspired by the lady. Highly recommended: it lasted all day and has good sillage. Ideal for flower lovers without pretensions.
Gabrielle is being badly treated by critics, surely due to the high expectations of it being a Chanel. For me, it’s good: it starts fresh and innocent, then the flowers, especially jasmine and orange blossom, take over, giving it a youthful and carefree touch. As it blends, it stops being innocent to become delicate yet characterful. My only gripe is the price, which is very high, and the longevity is short, around four to six hours. If you see it purely as a perfume, it smells good and delivers, but the price is for the brand, not the quality. What a pity.
What a pity! I didn’t buy it, but they showed it to me a few days ago. I prefer Chanel No. 5 or Coco Mademoiselle… Best wishes from Mexico.
I absolutely love it; I’m one of its few fans despite the criticism. It reacted beautifully with my skin and lasts about five hours with moderate sillage, though I reapply if needed. It smells peculiar: citrus with an elegant touch of white flowers. I’m tempted to try the Essence, but I’m glad Chanel hasn’t replaced it. It’s for those who don’t want the sweet, confectionery mass-market scent. If you feel the same, try it on your skin.
It’s a bit much for me as it smells like Jour d’Hermès but with more sweetness. These are two I wear non-stop in the summer. For me, the sun, the sea, citrus and white flowers define that season.
I just came to know this scent and as soon as I heard it I was transported to a dawn in the countryside where it has just rained or is raining and I needed something like that. It smells to me of something herbal, so feminine and subtle.
It is a super easy, super kind, ‘very likable’ fragrance. It is the painting that imitates Sorolla, warm and luminous, which looks good in any place. It is the box-office family film that pleases all generations because it is harmless and graceful. It is that Vivaldi Four Seasons record that inhabits all homes and is always a safe gift. It is a good perfume, but the question is: reaching the bearing and personality necessary to occupy that unique place that previous Chanel creations have: Coco, Cristalle, Egoiste, Allure…? The answer is no.
Despite the many negative reviews, for me it is a marvel. It is a delicate and extremely fine floral. The fixation for being a perfume water could be better. Anyway, I do not regret having it in my collection. I give it an 8/10.
I had the opportunity to apply it generously a few days ago (thanks to the seller in the perfumery). It accompanied me all afternoon, but only that. It is a beautiful scent, some beautiful wild white flowers growing in a sunny meadow. It is elegant and exquisite, however, for the price, the longevity leaves much to be desired. What is happening today with perfumery that new fragrances lose strength more and more? Now they seem that EDPs are the new colognes. If it did not cost what it costs, I would buy it to bathe myself in its scent on a hot summer with a white dress. But as it costs what it costs, I will remain wanting.
WHAT A SCENT! I do not tire of buying it and buying it again. Heavily panned by critics who did not know how to appreciate it. It is sublime. A blend of white flowers, citrus, and woods worthy of trying. It accompanies me excellently for the first 6 hours; I use it for conferences or business meetings. It makes me feel that I carry the great Gabrielle Chanel with me and pushes me to make good decisions as a woman in a company. It has much more presence than its little brother Essence. I LOVE IT.
After reading so many good comments I went to the store to try it. Oh dear, the citrus notes do not go with me: either they are accentuated too much or they decompose, and here both happened. It has an acceptable dry-down, but I feel soapy, like an orange ambient air freshener, very critical and unpleasant. It has good longevity and trail, but I will not buy it. It is not for me, I will stick with the Coco Mademoiselle. Chanel is not bought blindly, you must try it.
After reading so many negative reviews, I refused to buy it. A year ago I tried it and my goodness, how delicious. It is a citrus that is not as grating and overused as the CM. I tried it in all seasons: in excessive heat (I live next to the beach) it lasts nothing, it goes away and you never perceive it again. In the cold, it stings the throat and is irritating. But on windy days at 60 km/h (dry and fresh climate) or heavy rain, it is enchanting! It is when I have received the best compliments, it becomes powdery with mandarin. I feel it is more mature and with personality than the Essence. At my age of 30, in the office it gives me seriousness, as gourmands seem too informal to me.
Despite the negative comments, I love it. It is fresh, the citrus notes are noticeable, but what I like most is that it carries white flowers without being overwhelming. That subtle and rich neroli is exactly what I am looking for. It has included the neroli perfectly: you perceive it without it weighing you down, pure harmony.
Another pleasant but generic fragrance. It smells of a fruit salad at a garden party. Key notes: pear, blackcurrant, mandarin peel, grapefruit, and a touch of orange blossom. Its sweetness makes it feminine and daytime suitable for all year; the white flowers give it depth. It is a Chanelled J’Ador. I associate it with an adult woman, sweet and compassionate, perhaps because it is one of my mother-in-law’s signature scents. I have smelled it on her several times: trail and longevity are regular, something that annoys me at this price (we know the colognes Chanel has been selling lately). It didn’t impress me enough to buy it, but I would use it if it were a gift. Pleasant: 7/10, Interesting: 2/10, Versatile: 7/10, Original: 1/10.
Like an expensive wine, it enters softly before revealing itself: subtle, luminous, and elegant. It is so comfortable in any season that it becomes addictive. You must try it to understand. It has everything to be your signature scent or one of your most used. The bath line is also gorgeous: a yellow container full of light, a gel that looks like liquid gold, and a geometric bottle in matte light gold.
I love it, much more than the Essence. While the other is assertive with lots of neroli (which is not my strong suit), here it is softened, cheerful and luminous, with a soapy and creamy touch. It does not seem generic; it has its own personality and I would recognise it on another person. The longevity surprises me: the trail fades, but on the skin it lasts a long time. It is not for overpowering or seducing, but rather coquettish; I imagine a cheerful woman in jeans and a white t-shirt. Ideal for spring or autumn, those days with shy sunshine. Perfect for front-of-house jobs due to its amiability, although it does not convey authority like Gabrielle. The only flaw is that lingering ‘newly washed neck’ scent with a citrus touch and the typical Chanel ‘nightshirt’ smell. Nevertheless, I love it and prefer it to the Essence.
Of all Chanel’s ‘beasts’, this and the Nº5 won me over. The grapefruit gives a lightness to a classic, innocent scent, sweet but delicate, without excesses. You must try it. However, it can go unnoticed; it lacks the iconic presence of the Nº5 and other perfumes can overshadow it in the same room. It is lovely, but its performance and projection are not the most potent.
At first, it turned me off with that stale grapefruit smell, but then it softens and the notes bloom. It is not sweet or fresh; it is pure Chanel: serious and formal, ideal for the office where one must maintain appearances. The downside is that it vanishes in two hours like magic; upon reapplication, it lasts the same. It is fickle and, for its price, lamentable. Perhaps it suits an afternoon tea on cool days, but not winter. If you are in doubt, try other Chancels: it is not bad, but it is expensive for what it offers.
The opening is pure elegance and good taste, worthy of a white silk dress: jasmine, neroli and roses alongside peach, coconut, gooseberries, lemon, bergamot and pear. A subtle touch of ylang-ylang that captivates without being heavy. It is feminine and, through my fault, perhaps too subtle. One of the best fragrances I have smelled in decades. However, and I regret it, after two hours on my skin it is already skin-scent. After eight hours it remains, but barely perceptible.
I was looking for something for everyday wear, subtle and elegant for the office. Gabrielle fits the bill, although it didn’t convince me at first: the grapefruit overwhelms me and it smells of iris, almost like the Nº5. After a few hours, the magic arrives: those delicate, feminine white flowers that make it ideal for wearing all the time. It is pure glamour, very ‘girly’, with a heart note reminiscent of Jour d’Hermès. It doesn’t shout, it simply exudes class, like an aristocrat having afternoon tea in spring. Try it before buying.
Following the last review, I felt inspired to write about Gabrielle. I have mixed feelings about Monsieur Polge (the son); I am not an admirer of his creations except for Spicebomb, although I recognise his merits and how he has established his position in this new millennium. My reservations perhaps stem more from my personal tastes. Nevertheless, I believe the pressure to create a perfume like Gabrielle must have been immense: combining the name of Madame Chanel as a symbol of her persona before she became who she was, current tastes, the house’s fame, her individuality, and public expectations seems to me to be a formidable task. Indeed, I was reading in an English review how many expectations were going to be high and difficult to meet, and how it would be hard to explain what, hypothetically, Gabrielle (long before becoming Coco) would have used, taking into account that era and the present. I am not sure if that is splitting hairs. Nor do I know whether Monsieur Polge has managed to meet his own expectations, but I do recognise his move away from the mould of his contemporaries, particularly regarding sweetness. It seems to me to be a nice fragrance; while not spectacular, it is very suitable for everyday life, work, and informal dates. I also find it quite ‘girly’ (as another review says), but not in a cloying version, rather owning a subtle elegance, albeit without pretension. I share the feeling of some people who perceive the grapefruit/raspberry combo so prominently in the foreground that it is almost impossible to move on to the white florals (of which I recognise the neroli with some effort). That said, the projection and longevity are not exactly rocket science, and I am not entirely convinced that the whole package is really worth the cost. It seems to me to be a correct, pleasant, and fairly versatile fragrance. It suffers from a high price for what it offers, from my point of view, but with sufficient financial means, it is a good option for everyday wear.
The perfume is beautiful but lasts nothing at all.
I tried this beautiful perfume in a shop a few days ago. I absolutely loved it; it is feminine, elegant, and powdery. A real marvel. I will be buying it.
The perfume exudes undeniable sophistication. Its intense citrus opening paves the way for a captivating bouquet of white florals that delight the senses; as it settles, it leaves a powdery trail that adds elegance. Ideal for cold climates, it can prove somewhat overpowering in warmer settings.
A lovely perfume, perfect for work without any issues. I see it as ideal for spring and for women of any age, even those in their fifties. The citrus opening fills you with energy before transitioning into white florals. I am very sensitive to neroli and can’t stand it, but here it appears very soft, blended with ylang-ylang. The only drawback is that it lasts about three hours; afterwards, it barely lingers on the skin.
