Gabriela Sabatini Bolero is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1997. Bolero opens with Berries, Mandarin, Rosewood, and Lotus, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Gardenia, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Gabriela Sabatini's Bolero carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This 90s gem is a nostalgic hug for many, a sweet, fruity floral that screams vintage femininity. It's a shame it's so hard to find now, as it clearly left a lasting impression on those who wore it or smelled it on their mums.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

With moderate longevity and sillage, Bolero is versatile enough for casual day wear and could work for a relaxed date. Its fruity-floral sweetness isn't quite right for formal settings or sports, and might be a bit much for a conservative office.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Bolero opens with a juicy burst of mixed berries and bright mandarin, softened by the gentle hint of lotus and rosewood. As it settles, a classic floral heart emerges, with sweet rose, powdery violet, and creamy gardenia mingling with a touch of ripe peach. The dry down is a warm, comforting blend of smooth sandalwood, rich vanilla, and subtly sweet tonka bean, giving it a soft, enduring finish.
