Hormone Paris Gaba is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Gaba opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Musk, and Ambroxan. Hormone Paris's Gaba carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This Ganymede-adjacent powerhouse has sparked debate, but Gaba manages to pull off that metallic ambroxan DNA with a welcome twist of warmth. It's a polarizing scent, but if you're into beast-mode performance and a modern edge, you'll love it.

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.

Its nuclear performance and strong sillage, as noted by reviewers, make it potentially overwhelming for a close-quarters office setting. However, its modern, compliment-getting appeal and versatile accord profile make it suitable for dates and casual outings, while still having enough presence for less stuffy formal events.

About

Gaba opens with a bright, uplifting burst of mandarin and orange, swiftly joined by a calming lavender. This fresh citrus and aromatic blend soon deepens with the soft, fruity-floral elegance of osmanthus and jasmine, adding a more approachable character. The base is where it gets truly modern and impactful: a clean musk combines with the mineral, slightly metallic edge of ambroxan and akigalawood, crafting a long-lasting, textured finish that's both airy and grounded.
