What does Gabrielle Chanel Parfum smell like?

It wears strong and lasting, with good projection. Most voters pick spring, fall and summer, with winter chosen less often. Evenings and nights out lead, though daily and business wear also get votes. It is classed as a women's fragrance.

Florals dominate throughout: ylang-ylang, jasmine, Grasse tuberose and orange blossom. A fresh, green edge runs through them, while sandalwood and vanilla absolute carry it into a woody, sweet, creamy warmth. Chanel Gabrielle Chanel Eau de Parfum and Zara Ylang Supreme have a close profile.
