Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Gabriella by Paris Avenue / Art Creation is a feminine eau de parfum with an expressive floral character and a pronounced amber-woody depth.
The composition combines the freshness of a citrus opening, the radiance of white flowers, and a soft, warm drydown of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood.
This fragrance is for those who love feminine bouquets with a rich development and a clearly perceptible sillage.
The Paris Avenue / Art Creation brand was founded in France in 2015 and promotes the idea of accessible perfumery as an art.
Gabriella fits naturally into this philosophy: the composition is clear and harmonious, yet it does not come down to a single simple note.
It combines a light sparkle, expressive white florals, and a cozy sweetness that gradually becomes the fragrance's main accent.
At first, Gabriella smells fresh and radiant: mandarin adds juicy citrus energy, while orange blossom makes the opening softer and more feminine.
As it develops, the composition moves into a lush heart where exotic flowers meet jasmine, lily of the valley, and tuberose.
The white-floral accord is noticeable, full-bodied, and seductive, so the fragrance is perceived not as a strict daytime citrus scent but as a complete perfumed statement.
Amber, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk emerge in the base. They give the fragrance roundness, warmth, and lasting power, while also supporting the very strong sillage stated for this fragrance.
On the skin, Gabriella can be especially impressive in cool weather, when the sweet woody nuances unfold more deeply; for the warmer seasons, moderate application is best.
Gabriella is positioned as a feminine fragrance and will appeal to lovers of expressive floral compositions centered around white flowers.
It is suitable for an evening, a special occasion, a date, or any situation where you want to leave a noticeable fragrant impression.
Thanks to the combination of citrus freshness and a vanilla-amber base, the perfume can also work well for everyday wear, provided it is applied with care.
The original data does not specify an exact recommendation for the number of sprays on skin and clothing.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with a small amount and assess the intensity after 15–20 minutes: the white-floral heart and warm base can sound considerably fuller than during the first minutes after application.
On clothing, the fragrance usually lasts longer, so this method requires especially delicate dosing.
In its combination of a floral heart, soft woods, and warm nuances, Gabriella can be compared with Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme.
At the same time, Gabriella places greater emphasis on a noticeable sillage, white flowers, and a sweetish amber base.
If you would like to experience the composition in person, it is best to test it on the skin: contact with body heat is what reveals the difference between the fresh opening and the rich finish.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes of Gabriella open with orange blossom and tangerine, creating a fresh citrus-floral accord. Exotic flowers, jasmine, lily of the valley, and tuberose unfold at the heart of the composition.
Jasmine lends the bouquet a distinctive character, enhancing the fragrance's sensual white-floral profile.
Base notes of amber, sandalwood, vanilla, and musk create a warm, soft, and long-lasting finish.
Overall, the Gabriella fragrance pyramid combines floral, green, and woody tones with amber, citrus, gourmand, and musky nuances.
