The review
On paper, Dear Gabby is a reasonable bet if you want Gabrielle for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gabrielle's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $117 per 100ml it costs 53% less than Gabrielle — the 3rd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on grapefruit, mandarin orange and black currant, turns to jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossom, and settles into sandalwood and musk. That is the brief Dear Gabby is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- mandarin orange
- black currant
Heart
- jasmine
- ylang-ylang
- orange blossom
Base
- sandalwood
- musk
A bright bouquet of four white flowers, polished and radiant rather than heavy.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 5 twins of Chanel Gabrielle we can price, Dear Gabby is number 3 on price per 100ml.
