Gabrielle has one match so far. These are the closest scents by shared notes that have several.
Opens with a brief grapefruit and blackcurrant brightness that clears quickly, making way for the real agenda: a dense, luminous floral heart built from jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang, softened just enough by rose to avoid going heady. The florals stay close to the skin rather than radiating outward, giving it moderate sillage and a restrained, polished projection. The dry-down settles into creamy sandalwood and clean musk, smooth and unhurried. Nothing surprising, but the execution is precise and uncluttered — a white floral done with control rather than drama. — Warm-weather office wear and daytime occasions for someone who wants a confident floral without spectacle.

Dupes are rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
No. The Scent File takes no brand deals, no sponsorships, and no paid rankings. Rankings follow the scores only. We do earn affiliate commission when you purchase through our links at no extra cost to you — but this never influences which dupes appear or how they are scored.
