Chanel Gabrielle Essence perfume review on Persolaise Love At First Scent - Episode 37

Episode 37 of Love At First Scent
This was a KZread Live broadcast streamed on Tuesday 3 September 2019. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I covered the new Chanel Gabrielle Essence, composed by Olivier Polge.
---
Here's the blotter update...
- The scent is largely the same as when it started, with the emphasis, predictably, having shifted from the citrus to the vanilla. The musks are perhaps more strident than in the original version. Pleasantly forgettable. Expect it to do well at the shops.
Thanks again for watching.

    I have Gabrielle and it smells so luxurious, floral, and warm. Dimensional in a champagne way without being too dark. Beautiful, grown and, sexy Chanel dry down. Not at all juvenile and sugary.

    Yes I adore the Original Gabrielle. It is/was my signature. I think it is classy. I got it when I was 40 and I think it fits my age perfectly. It is soft, but not shy. The drydown I think is extremely beautiful. Musky, sexy but still elegant. Chanel is never vulgar, alsways sophisticated. I don't think it's dull or boring. I do own the Essence as well, and use that for summer. Indeed it is more sexy and has a vintage feel. But I love my classics: Nahema, Chanel 5 l'eau. I also think Chanel stays true to their house, to their image, which I find very strong.

    I like Gabrielle, it is a safe scent for summer and probably add both version to my collection. Not a most exciting release from Chanel but it is still better than that horrible Joy or other sticky sweet or patchouli perfumes other brands come out with. As a guy, I find it a pretty unisex perfume. I guess Chanel knows there a democratic in young Millenials that just want a super safe and nice perfume and go after them. But I am a huge Chanel fan and I don't like to wander out of my Chanel comfort zone unless it's a Guerlain. Oh and i got a couple female friends who wears Gabrielle and it smells really good on them

    I received Essence as a gift, I genuinely like it & wear it at work - because - it is pleasant & inoffensive & does not shout. I am a hospital nurse & so have a strict uniform policy to abide by. We have to wear perfumes that won’t upset sick patients & so far this one seems very ‘safe’. Also, during the course of a working day, I can encounter sights & smells that could literally knock you out, or curl your toes - or both! It is a necessity to wear a nice scent, so that you can tuck your nose down your top as & when needed (for attempted olfactory relief)! In terms of Chanel’s motivations, they are playing safe. This isn’t meant for esteemed noses, it is clearly aimed at the mass market (high yield profit), at those who splurge at Xmas and birthdays on a blind buy, cynically trading on their name. In the same way that wine or coffee connoisseurs don’t buy a £10 plonk or frequent Starbucks, maybe you are not the intended market; Coromandel is what they make for refined noses who will appreciate it, can afford - and won’t abuse it as either smelling salts or to block out truly noxious aromas… Out of curiosity what do you think of the 2022 Gabrielle Parfum? I have looked for it but sadly cannot find it. If you think it equally ‘Meh’ I will not seek it out.

My Daughter remarked she loved the smell and said “It’s smells like cleaning products-in a good way..” 😂 I’m now approaching 70 so I seem to have worn my Chanel in the wrong age line!

    Blind buy for me. At first it seemed too safe. Almost cousin to J'Adore. Something already experienced and soon forgotten. But my colleague, who is very very picky on fragrances likes it on me and never complains (she hates almost every single perfume in my collection, no matter the brand-notes-pricetag-sillage). So in order to avoid her whine i started to wear It more often and now i can appreciate it more. Not unique, not bold, not loud, not peculiar but comfortable, carefree, ordinary pleasant. Perfect for the office, inoffensive. Btw i'll be smartworking from home for two weeks now and i am glad i can wear what i like more without worring about my colleague's complaints. 😈😇

    I met gabrielle during a sunny, hot summer day. I loved it. It was so hot and humid, and that EDT was just what I needed.Made me feel clean and dry, in a sense. The problem with Gabrielle, is that is lasts around 30 minutes on me. I met the essence 2 months ago, and I looooved the way it stays on my skin. I love it 1h after I spray it on me. i love it even more after 5h. What can I say? Good Winterish smell on me.

I went shopping today looking for a fragrance that would be suitable for my work in a government office. I don’t want to draw attention to myself or offend sensitive noses but I do want someone to think I smell clean and pretty if I walk past them. I guess it’s perfect for that, lol.

    The first Gabrielle was a total no for me .... I was 26 at the time and I decided to go with a more subtle similar scent which at the time was the Tiffany & co. Two years later here we are at another birthday shopping spree and hoping to finally convert to the more mature Coco or number 5 from my all time favorite Mademoiselle ....... I decided to smell this new Gabrielle..... and shoooot! It caught me by surprise..... I loved it 😱 and my husband loved it..... as it settled on my skin I loved it even more.... it got softer, the vanilla became more prominent and the citrus just faded away lightly. Everything I wanted for an everyday scent.... Mademoiselle is still my favorite but my husband says it provokes allot of attention. Essence becomes sexy yet remains beautiful once it has settled on my skin.... it’s not shouting for attention. Long story short, I bought Gabrielle essence and Mademoiselle (again) ..... I find it the perfect transition before going into the more mature sophisticated perfumes. 🤷🏻‍♀️ meh, perhaps it’s an American thing ....

And in that castle was a little boutique that sells children accessories.It’s a very simple perfume without harm. It gives me the same feeling when I had my own first perfume very simple and not harmful.😊

    I sprayed it on my wrist in the perfume store and it gave me “oh-I-know-it” feel. Punchy sour flower with Clinique Happy memories. No intrigue. THREE days after the sleeve of my jacket over the wrist I sprayed this perfume on is radiating a fresh penetrating smell. Now I am intrigued and want to go back to the store. While my more sophisticated perfumes are lasting 4 hours this one is going for several days on the sleeve which was close to the wrist I sprayed this perfume on (I was not wearing my jacket in the perfume store, so I did not spray it on the jacket directly). So yes, after the initial lack of impression I have interest to try at least a travel size

    I am 25 studying in Med school, I passed all my exams last week from first try and I needed to celebrate myself and get my first ever Chanel perfume, although I was able to afford it years ago I always thought it was still early. On my way home I had a long transit in Istanbul airport and I was smelling all kinds of high end perfumes and the lady there started chatting with me and it is the first time I go with the flow and smelled what someone else tips me about, she also recommended ysl libre before it but I told her everyone I know in Sweden has it so I wanted something more unique. Chanel or Dior. She said this smells the best and after smelling them all I really liked it because I wanted chance but then someng about it felt too floral i think? And I like Musk, ous Wood sandal and oriental smells because of my origin (Syrian). I fell in love immediately ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥it is so classy but abit sexy as well.

    I understand now the cold and unimpressed reactions by some once they discovered the scent. First, I need to confess here that I haven't smelled the original Gabrielle. To my nose, this Essence version is so unexpected... not in a good way, that is. It's Chanel, it's 'Essence'... and yet this is how it smells. It's just plain, a mish mash of florals and not distinctive enough. Don't get me wrong. The formula is smooth and I can feel the richness and nothing is rough, sharp or screechy here but it's the whole scent,.. it's just ... ordinarily good. Knowing Chanel, well this is shocking.

    Oddly enough Gabrielle Essence is the only Chanel I enjoyed. The only reason I didn’t buy it was because I had just bought a more powerful tuberose fragrance by Tom Ford. Now that I’ve had a chance to actually wear the TF, I will go back for Essence. Essence for me is very feminine, pretty and soft with sensually. It’s not unisex with manly notes. Coco Mademoiselle is too sharp and tart for my taste. Chanel 5 is too powdery old lady. Essence finally gets it right. Sweet, floral and citrus. One drawback is the last power is very short lived.

    I bought a bottle of Coco today to take home, then I sprayed Gabrielle essence on my wrist. The only thing I liked was the smooth floral scent that is rich with floral notes. I didn't buy it because it's another floral that reminds me of bath products. I'm bored with the freshly bathed floral, like I just stepped out of a shower or bath. That's just breaking even. I want something interesting, thought provoking, while seducing the senses. So I chose Coco, not Coco Mademoiselle but Coco.

    I was on the fence when I first got this perfume.. it has grown on me. I am now absolutely in love with it . I completely disagree. It is beautiful and feminine. The more I wear it,the more I love it. To me after owning the Chanel standby’s that are absolutely gorgeous in their right. this is a fresh , light and lovely. My granddaughter adores it. no complaints here.

    Original gabrielle: I actually like the original Gabrielle! I am 28 and i do not like anything too heavy or sharp. I work in a vet clinic and dont want to, and cant, stand out too much with fashion, makeup, scents etc. I dont want to be that kind of lady watching a movie in the cinema annoying everyone around me with a heavy scent. This is a great day time and first date kind of smell. Its feminine, not girly. Its not innocent, also not bold. To me its clean. Mature. Appropriate. Lovely. Essence: too round for me. Slightly hurts my sensitive nose and smells younger to me than the original. Too much ylang ylang for me.

    Luckily i had not seen your .. curbed enthusiasm for Gabrielle Essence before I bought it, because I am already well into my second bottle, and this is now my second favourite perfume after Mon Guerlain, and my boyfriend's favourite! Yep, he thinks it's SEXY and I think it's Pretty (🙂) good combo since I want to have ONE perfume from Chanel.. and I'm kind of on my way to be forever over Coco Mademoiselle. This will obviously not be the last time we disagree on a fragrance, I kind of expect it after I saw your enthusiastic cheer for Versace Dylan Blue pour Femme 😂😂😂

    So I "like" the original. It's only because it was one of the first fragrances I smelled in my transition into smelling more "feminine" scents. I haven't smelled it in a year. My ex found it nice but liked other scents more. I think I will like more bold feminine scents more now but I'll see how this one fares. Another girls who just finished her bachelor's owns this. So it found it's target audience I guess

    I prefer standalone shorties! This format allows me to watch all your reviews; can fit them in my schedule. Thanks :) (Curious about Miller Harris' Leather Rouge and Serge's) I enjoyed Gabrielle, but it's bland and unexciting; not memorable. The story that it was much more interesting at first, and then got watered down, makes sense, especially if they were going for the untrained noses of the youngest demographic. I think they should stop marketing to youngsters (and genders for that matter). Just create something exquisite - and let it find its 'niche'. Just going by 'target groups' is lame and, I believe, not the smartest move. The demographic with the most dough is 40+ and especially in perfume, taste changes over time. It's not like if you get them as a teen, you'll have them for life anymore. Lastly, it doesn't evoke even in the slightest, the young Gabrielle - who was expressive, eccentric, intelligent and elegant in a bold way.

    Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to write. Yes, the idea of trying to appeal to someone, as opposed to just creating something beautiful, is interesting, isn’t it. Mind you, I know many perfumers have a particular wearer in mind when they’re composing. But that tends to be a single, specific wearer, rather than a homogeneous mass. Marketing has been the bane of many a fine craft.
