Chanel has done it again - again a new offspring of a very well known classic is launched on the market and you ask yourself: when will they bring something completely new, maybe something courageously completely new into our noses?

Well, you can find completely different, even very strongly polarizing scents elsewhere.
Chanel fragrances, it seems to me, should be wearable almost always and everywhere. That's what I like
I wonder if this scent is a reference to the forced general withdrawal of this year's situation - although Chanel recommends this scent as a scent before bedtime or even for bedding.
Personally, I find my fragrances too good to spray on the bed linen - but there are also different preferences.

As one would expect, one recognizes the mademoiselle immediately when she is sprayed on.
I smell citric fruitiness, the flowers, perceive the oriental undertone.
Softer, less powdery, more creamy. Patchouli shouldn't be in it, I imagine I smell a hint of it
The scent development is not very large, the scent known to us remains in an attenuated form.

But: there would be no Chanel if there were no durability. This works for hours. Of course, you can tell yourself that you don't need it if you already have the other versions in your collection.
I personally like this quieter version. Maybe it's an option for some noses of you if Coco Mademoiselle L'Eau Privée's sisters are too loud or too scratchy for you.
In my opinion, this gentler mademoiselle can be worn wonderfully during the day to all activities or non-activities.

...for my part underestimated at the first times smelling in the perfumery then shortly after publication.
Why he was affiliated by name "Obsession" is completely illogical. There's really nothing that connects him to the CK Urgestein.

As I said: according to my statement 3 years ago, I smelled rather little, at least not the expected lavender.
The scent came back to my head after I had been walking around with Chanel's lavender "Boy", "Jersey EdP", + Chloe's "Eau de Fleurs - Lavande" for the last few months and enjoyed these different lavender scents every day anew.

Unfortunately, Chloe doesn't make her lavender anymore. In the mainstream area lavender is not very present as a fragrance, so I tested the CK repeatedly.

At the beginning I am blown away by unspecific synthetic fresh notes with a slight sharpness. Unspectacular, the term "drugstore smell" comes to mind.
Gradually the whole thing is sorted, lavender floral notes emerge, which are fixed by synthetic musky, somewhat woody base scents.

My scent impression can best be described with a cool, synthetic lavender dominated clean musk. No lavender field in bloom.
And: I like the whole thing. Wearable to, with and with everything as a clean accessory if it should be unspectacular or for feeling good.

Durability is on the skin in the midfield, in my hair all day long.

The big question is: to what extent is Gabrielle 2, as I want to call him of simplicity, different from Gabrielle 1?
And: is the whole flanking, also at Chanel, not hackneyed and superfluous?

I answer the second question first: can you see it that way? However, if you have a brand-related weakness as a fragrance collector like me at Chanel, that can make subjective sense.

Left wrist: Gabrielle 1, right: Gabrielle 2.

The fragrance pyramids are quite similar to each other whom wundert´s. And yet:

1: opens a bit more edgy and discreetly citric, that's not the case with 2: here all the flowers are mixed up in a smoother way at the push of a button - I definitely perceive ylang and a soft tuberose.
In addition there is a somewhat sweeter fruitiness than with the 1, which runs through the whole course without getting the upper hand.

After about 20 minutes 1 loses speed compared to 2, develops a ticking brighter, harsher and quieter.

The 2, on the other hand, remains fruity-floral. The base adds creaminess and supports the white-flower heart, which for me is the theme of the perfume.

Gabrielle 1 remains softer and fresher with regard to the flower theme, she also gets similar support from the basic fragrances.

Gabrielle 2 smells rounder and fuller overall without getting heavy. It is a perfume for all occasions, as they are so typical for Chanel.
Since it does not concern a monothematic Bumenduft, Tuberose - or Ylangempfindliche noses do not have to be afraid to be killed, because extremes gibt´s here not.
But you should like white flowering plants.

The shelf life is good.

As expected, Chanel didn't reinvent the wheel with the launch of an EdP version of the now classic EdT.
The latter stands for citrus flowery lightness, so I was anxious to smell the differences to the new EdP.

Both smell the same to me after spraying on. Citrus freshness with light quince sweetness with a floral hint.

The flowers: in the heart notes the difference can be found: the EdP clearly smells of rose instead of hyacinth, the jasmine has been left.
The rose is delicate, light and airy, without any spicy parts, but also without becoming soapy, the jasmine is not dominant. The Eau Tendre freshness does not break off the total pressure, but gives more intensity and adhesion overall.

The base certainly contains musk as a fixative, but without becoming too superficial - the flowers remain. The base of the EdT is in comparison a little fresher, less flowery - although I can only speak of nuances.

For me personally, Chance Eau Tendre belongs neither as EdT, nor as EdP in the direction of shower gel or shampoo. Both are fresh floral, with the rose note of EdP clearly accentuating a different florality; one that is slightly less bitter than that of Hyacinth.

Wearable by ladies of all everyday classes on all occasions.

The bottle is idem to that of the EdT, the lid is silver instead of frosted, the word chance is made of gold in the lettering instead of white.
The liquid is really pink compared to the more beige looking EdT next to it.

I own the older sister of the light blue Tiffanys.
Accordingly, I was curious about a test of the Intense Version - the first time I sprayed in a hurry on a test strip - and was immediately fixed.

Dry powder iris came into my nose, a fragrance that I have decayed unrestrainedly.
Fresh like the light blue older sister, this did not smell, rather intensively, something for cooler days. And - the comparison to "Dior Homme" occurred to me; but a little less sweet, lighter, without masculine attitude.

Of course this perfume had to be tested on the skin!
And immediately: the powderris cloud! The madness, the perfume almost landed in the shopping basket.
However, I already own some iris classics, so I decided not to give in to the desire to have urge at first and let the whole thing develop first.

The iris cloud soon disappears to my disappointment, sweet but indefinable scents appear.
I had been looking forward to Benzoe as well. We already know Iris and also Benzoedüfte from Daniela Andrier, who is able to set these fragrances in scene elegantly alone or also in combination, as we know perfumes and Parfumos.

Here, however, I cannot smell the benzoin, it is rather an ambry, slightly fruity, sweet impression in the foreground, which represents the end of the fragrance development.
No question about it, it's not base. A fragrance for young and experienced women. Not playful.

For me, however, the beautiful prelude flattens out enormously and loses originality. To be honest, I'd rather put on "Dior Homme" or one of the Andrier´schen Pradas in winter, which, although they've been on the market for quite some time, are more macronious.
