Gabrielle Forever
Because of the hard Lockdown, I once again had enough free time and tested felt every third women's perfume. I came across the fragrance by browsing in Müller. Since I was at that time the first time in the world of perfumes, I have watched before umpteen Youtube videos about good designer women's perfumes. I wrote down in my notes which fragrances I wanted to try. So with my phone in hand, I walked through the perfume section at Müller, since nothing else was open. Now it was the turn of the fragrance "Gabrielle" by Chanel. The first sprays on the test strip were so convincing that I marked it on my list as "I like and want to buy". Since I love floral and light fragrances, the scent stayed with me for weeks afterwards.
A few months passed, in the meantime I had already bought some designer fragrances and didn't remember "Gabrielle" that strongly at all, but I still bought it 3 months after my first impression. The next day I sprayed it on my skin and knew again in the first second why it was on my list. I knew immediately that I could get rid of my other 3 spring scents and not miss them because I had Gabrielle. The scent is one that would not be inappropriate in any situation in my eyes.
Now I would like to go into more detail about the fragrance. In the opening, you clearly take the sweet, citrusy mandarin was, although the Spür grapefruit has been somewhat lost to me. This is joined by the wonderfully creamy floral ylang ylang. The longer the scent dries on the skin and the drydown begins, the more tart orange blossom and tuberose notes now join in and change the scent character from citrusy creamy to floral creamy with a slight citrus note in the finish. For me, not much changes in the scent after the first few hours. I don't find the sillage and longevity that impressive, but I don't think it should necessarily be any different as a spring/summer scent. It fits perfectly into the non-intrusive image of Gabrielle.
It suits any woman, younger or older, in my opinion. "Gabrielle Forever" to me is a fragrance I can wear as a 19 year old, as a 30 year old or even at grandmother age. If I had to describe Gabrielle in one word it would be "Timeless" and that is why it is so special to me, because I see myself wearing this scent at every stage of life.
