Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gabrielle Parfum
This is Chanel's polished, grown-up take on white florals, a dense and opulent bouquet that many consider the definitive Gabrielle. While some find it too heavy or generic, proponents praise its luxurious blend and lasting power, often calling it a step up from previous versions.
Statement
Our Verdict - Dear Gabby EDP
Dear Gabby dupes Chanel's Gabrielle, chasing the same effervescent citrus-white floral bouquet over a musky-sandalwood base. It is a little sweeter and less airy than the original's radiant sillage, with a flatter dry-down, but a reasonably close budget stand-in for the mandarin-tuberose signature.
