Gabriela Sabatini is known all over the world as a champion of many tennis cups and a successful business woman. The life of this woman was completely different from that of many successful athletes. By the age of 19, the girl left the sport and immediately found herself in a completely different occupation - creating perfumes. The former athlete considers such an extraordinary turn to be one of the best decisions in her life.
Some sports career facts
Gabriela Sabatini first came to the court at the age of 6. Her older brother at that time had been playing tennis for a long time and decided to introduce his sister to this. The success of the young athlete was brilliant - by the age of 13 she had already become the winner of the Orange Bowl tennis championship, which has proven herself well among beginner athletes.
At 14, Gabriela Sabatini already wins her first championship, and at 15 she is in the top ten tennis players in the world. However, over time, the girl begins to realize that training is not easy for her. Her mental state during the matches was extremely unstable, as a result of which Gabriela lost several matches.
After two years of working withpsychologist, the girl abandoned her sports career. Later in an interview, she mentioned that she never missed the tennis court. She managed to get fed up with sports life and never regretted her decision afterwards.
Implementation in a new area
For many, it was unexpected that a person whose youth was spent in big-time sports would become a perfumer. However, the young girl ventured into such an act and, I must say, very successfully. Positive reviews about the perfume from Gabriela Sabatini spread pretty quickly. The former athlete is very confident on the path of running her own business.
Further on, the range of manufactured goods of the Gabriela Sabatini brand continued to expand. In addition to perfume, the production of tennis rackets, accessories, clothing and even cameras begins.
Such vigorous activity allowed the girl to provide for herself for many years to come. Now Gabriela Sabatini is one of the most successful business women.
Creating a perfume collection
The first perfume by Gabriela Sabatini was released in 1989. This aldehyde floral fragrance quickly became a favorite for many ladies. The creator of this composition was Harry Fremont - one of the leading perfumers. An exquisite bouquet of bergamot, citrus notes, rose and lily of the valley, combined with a woody-musky base, became a bestseller of its time.
It is important to note that the Gabriela Sabatini fashion house continued to work with the world's best perfumers. Among them were also Martin Gras, FrancisDelmont, Dorothy Piot, Gil Romey and other famous masters.
Fragrance Collection Lines
Some of the fragrances are grouped into small collections. Of course, each of them includes only 2-3 perfumes, but all of them certainly deserve attention.
Cascaya 1994 was the first eau de toilette by Gabriela Sabatini to be continued in other fragrances. A chypre white floral fragrance in an intricate bottle. Notes of orange and bergamot combine in an interesting bouquet along with amber, sandalwood, vanilla and oakmoss.
After 4 years, Cascaya Summer appeared - a warm woody perfume, more gentle and calm than its predecessor.
Another pair of fragrances - Devotion and Devotion for men. This tandem was released in 2001. Two bright, somewhat eccentric fragrances create a sensual and charming image. Both perfumes contain oriental spicy notes, as well as vanilla and bergamot. The masculine version is spicy with coriander and tobacco, while the feminine version is sweet with rose, jasmine and vetiver.
Another pair of fragrances for her and for him - Wild Wind. Unlike the previous tandem, they were created with a difference of a year, but were originally intended to be paired. Wild Wind is classified as a floral green fragrance. It is like the embodiment of joy, jubilation and youth. The name of the perfume is fully comparable with its essence. The sweetness of geranium, peony and watermelon are perfectly combined here withsoft wood base.
The male version of Wild Wind is quite similar to the female version in terms of mood, which, however, is achieved by a completely different bouquet. Here you can hear green notes, citrus and spices.
Fragrances from Gabriela Sabatini - this is another beautiful page in the history of perfumery. Of course, they cannot be compared with selective perfumes, but quite rightly continue to be a favorite for many connoisseurs of a good perfume.
