Chanel Gabrielle

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on grapefruit, mandarin orange and black currant, moves through orange blossom, jasmine and ylang-ylang, and settles on musk, sandalwood and cashmeran.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
