CHANEL NEW LAUNCH

CAHNEL GABRIELLE EDP 100ML





Launched in 2017, Gabrielle the new women's fragrance by CHANEL is a luminous composition. Inspired by Gabrielle Chanel, the House of CHANEL perfumer Olivier Polge, working with the CHANEL Laboratory of Creation and Development of Perfumes, composed a solar flower based on a bouquet of 4 white flowers. 

Olivier Polge crafted this Eau de Parfum as an imaginary flower — a radiant and sparkling, purely feminine Chanel blossom based on a bouquet of four white flowers: a rich, enveloping heart of exotic Jasmine shimmers with the fruity green notes of Ylang-Ylang, while fresh and sparkling Orange Blossom shines through, offering a glimpse of Grasse Tuberose captured at its finest. Four points of light that recall the four corners of the bottle.





Before creating the House of Chanel, Coco was Gabrielle. A rebel at heart...passionate and free. The inspiration for the luminous floral fragrance: GABRIELLE CHANEL.Apply GABRIELLE CHANEL fragrance on skin or clothing with a deliberate and generous spray.


The fragrance appears to be suspended weightlessly within the striking, square bottle crafted of ultra-thin glass, as the four transparent sides fade into the background to let the light shine through. The label and the stopper have the same shape and indefinable lamé colour, a delicate balance between gold and silver, and the interior is warmed with an even more resplendent gold. Nestled in an imprint of its silhouette, the bottle is carefully protected by a precious interior sleeve.

It is a pure floral. A solar flower based on a bouquet of 4 white flowers, 4 points of light that mirrors the 4 corners of the bottle. A creamy and enveloping heart of exotic jasmine, shimmering with the fruity green notes of ylang-ylang. Fresh and sparkling orange blossom shines through, offering a glimpse of Grasse tuberose captured in its purest form. 

It is the perfect flower, a radiant and sparkling, purely feminine CHANEL flower. 


CUSTOMER REVIEW

With a sharp square silhouette, the Gabrielle Chanel bottle feels surprisingly lightweight and delicate thanks to the thin-walled glass design that actually took Chanel several years to perfect. The front and back panels softly dip toward the center, creating four converging lines that add a subtle elegance to the design. The perfume liquid has a light peachy hue almost identical to that of Chanel Chance EDP and the soft rose gold cap has a chic matte finish. Overall, the Gabrielle bottle is nothing flashy or extravagant; however, its delicate and minimalistic design perfectly embodies the iconic Chanel elegance.


Gabrielle Chanel opens with a ripe and fresh blend of juicy mandarin, currant, and grapefruit. I thought the top notes would smell quite sharp and citric but the opening accord is in fact very rounded and sweet. Within about ten or so minutes, the fruitiness fades away to reveal a feminine bouquet of jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang. I have to admit that I'm not great at differentiating the various floral notes but what I can say is that the floral combination is very delicate and pleasant. It's not overwhelming like some florals can be and it almost takes on a clean, slightly soapy quality.
