Chanel Reinvents Their Cult Classic Gabrielle Chanel Perfume

A scent that embodies the spirit of the icon: “I decided who I wanted to be, and that is who I am”

Gabrielle Chanel is back in a bolder, more compelling way with Chanel’s new star scent: GABRIELLE CHANEL ESSENCE. The original GABRIELLE CHANEL Eau de Parfum was released in 2017 and instantly became a favourite for its airy, radiant fragrance. Inspired by the woman who revolutionized fashion and fragrances, the perfume was an homage to the remarkable, passionate spirit that characterized her.

The new GABRIELLE CHANEL ESSENCE, starring Margot Robbie, distils the best qualities of the original perfume and adds more sensuous, decadent notes. The perfume is a reflection of the heart of Gabrielle Chanel, feminine, sophisticated and fearless. The result is a luxuriously solar aroma that is as distinct as the wearer. Chanel’s Perfumer-Creator Olivier Polge said, “I wanted to cut to the essentials, to the heart of the fragrance, and reaffirm it with a more voluptuous trail.”

Housed in a delicate, perfectly balanced bottle, the base notes of the Essence are a floral bouquet of ylang-ylang, jasmine and orange blossom, highlighted by the addition of vibrant tuberose. An added top layer of red berries gives it a tangy, surprising twist, while sandalwood, vanilla and white musk subtly enhance the fragrance. A perfume as memorable and vivid as its namesake.
