Gabrielle Nature

Gabrielle Nature is Chanel's 2017 flanker to the original Gabrielle, built on a bright citrus opening of grapefruit, mandarin orange and black currant before settling into a dense white-floral heart. That heart is unusually crowded for a Chanel: orange blossom, jasmine, ylang-ylang, tuberose and lily-of-the-valley sit alongside pear and pink pepper, which explains why white florals dominate the accord profile so completely. The base closes on musk, sandalwood, cashmeran and orris, giving the composition a soft woody-musky floor rather than a heavy one.

Collectors should read this as a luminous, citrus-lit white floral rather than a deep oriental — the pear and currant keep it sweet and fruity up top, while the orris and cashmeran add a powdery, slightly dry finish. It suits wearers who want a clean, radiant floral for daytime, spring and early summer, or office settings where a louder white bouquet would overwhelm. Those chasing the richer, more indolic tuberose of vintage Chanel florals may find it polite; those wanting an easy, sparkling floral with genuine Chanel polish will find it dependable.

Gabrielle Nature 係 Chanel 於 2017 年推出嘅花香調作品，前調以葡萄柚、橘子同黑加侖子帶出明亮柑橘果香，跟住落入橙花、茉莉、依蘭、晚香玉、鈴蘭、梨同粉紅胡椒組成嘅濃密白花中調，所以白花氣息幾乎主導整體。基調用麝香、檀香、喀什米爾木同鳶尾根收尾，木質麝香底子柔軟而唔厚重。

整體氣質清透、帶果香甜意，鳶尾同喀什米爾木令後段略帶粉感同乾爽。適合鍾意乾淨明亮白花、用於日間、春季或辦公室場合嘅用家；想要濃郁晚香玉或 vintage 厚身花香嘅收藏者，可能會覺得佢偏斯文收斂。
