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.

About

Gabriela Sabatini opens with a bright burst of citrus - think mandarin and bergamot - layered on a soft aldehydic sheen. As the initial zest fades, a floral heart blooms with lovely notes of jasmine, honeysuckle, and rose, which together create a sweet yet powdery bouquet. The warmth of sandalwood, vanilla, and amber greets you in the drydown, crafting a lingering embrace that is both cozy and nostalgic. This is a scent that feels like a soft hug but can also evoke memories of a time when fragrances had a stronger presence.
