Calling all Chanel enthusiasts! The fashion house recently introduced a new addition to the Gabrielle fragrance line – Gabrielle L’Eau. This captivating scent promises a fresh and vibrant take on the original Gabrielle, aiming to capture the essence of Coco Chanel’s radiant spirit.
A Lighter and Fruitier Expression
While the original Gabrielle is known for its rich floral notes and a touch of citrus, L’Eau takes a different direction. It boasts a lighter and fruitier composition, featuring sparkling red berries at the forefront. This creates an invigorating and youthful first impression. The heart of the fragrance stays true to the Gabrielle DNA with a bouquet of white florals – jasmine, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, and the ever-important tuberose. However, the tuberose here is said to be reworked to accentuate its greener facets, adding a touch of complexity to the floral core. The base is anchored by classic and elegant notes of musk and sandalwood.

Reformulation or Creative Spin-Off?
The arrival of Gabrielle L’Eau has sparked conversation among fragrance aficionados. Some fans are thrilled about the prospect of a lighter and fresher Gabrielle, especially for warmer weather wear. Others have expressed a desire for more originality from Chanel, questioning the need for another flanker so soon after the launch of Gabrielle Essence in 2019.
Here at ESSENSA.ee blog, we believe there’s room for both perspectives. Flanker fragrances allow established houses like Chanel to revisit popular scents and offer them in new interpretations. This caters to a wider audience and might even introduce the original fragrance to a whole new generation.

Should You Try It?
Whether you’re a die-hard Gabrielle fan or simply curious about exploring new scents, Gabrielle L’Eau is definitely worth checking out. If you found the original Gabrielle a bit too intense or the grapefruit note overwhelming, L’Eau’s fruitier and lighter profile might be more appealing.
For those who adore the rich floral character of the original, this flanker might not be a groundbreaking innovation. However, it still offers a delightful and refreshing summer option. Ultimately, the decision lies with your personal fragrance preferences.
So, will Gabrielle L’Eau become your new signature scent? There’s only one way to find out!
