Unfortunately, a big disappointment!
I was really looking forward to testing this fragrance with the wonderful bottle! It almost became a blind buy candidate, but luckily I received a sample with my last purchase directly from Armani's official website.
So about the scent: nice and floral, a beautiful opening, but it quickly develops into one of the fragrances I already own. I didn't have to think long; it smells exactly like Gabrielle Essence to me. And as I can see, it has almost the same notes. Sillage is just as moderate to weak. Unfortunately, it's coming off my WL now. What a shame! It could have been so nice! :(
What is going on these days with the new fragrances that are coming to the market? :(
Then I'd rather get backups of my old favorites!

That's true! La vie est belle and Libre have some serious competition! But it seems a lot of people like the scent. For me, it's definitely not my thing, pretty bottle or not!

With such a monster advertising campaign everywhere in the media, it couldn't be a masterpiece. It was kind of annoying to see My Way on every website, magazine, or in-flight magazine.

I agree with Santalwalti. There’s a similarity to Gabi Essence, but the Chanel is classy, elegant, and beautiful. This one is sweet-bitter and generic.

Hello, dear Eau de Anni! Unfortunately, that's true... Better to stock up on your discontinued recommendations! Best regards!

Vintage for the win! Unfortunately, there's not much innovation left.

The bottle is a dream! Thinking about it, I would definitely recommend My Way. I would test both on each wrist. The scent is very pleasant, floral, and elegant-perfect for everyday wear or the office. I just find it a bit disappointing when fragrances are so similar, like the current Alive by Boss to Libre. Chanel didn't have much success with Gabrielle either. Of course, everyone has different tastes. :) So definitely try it for yourself! :) Best regards!

If you don't have the Gabrielle Essence, would it be worth getting? Or would you recommend the Gabrielle instead (or neither of them)?

Well, I often feel that way too; it makes you appreciate your collection even more... that's not a bad thing!*wink*
