Dated yes, but far nicer than the new Chloe

It was nice to traipse back in time to this 1975 release, which has now been replaced by a new Chloe, which to my nose is a predictable soapy rose fragrance.

The old Chloe is all about big florals, aldehydes and a touch of spice. It's concentrated and extremely old-fashioned, yet surprisingly enjoyable. I find many bottles of Chloe being sold in discount fragrance stores these days for next to nothing, which is a bit of a shame seeing that the new Chloe bears such a big price tag. I much prefer the old version over the new.

Chloe (1975) exudes more character and warmth. Dusty, old-fashioned tuberose, lilac and orange blossom take me straight back to a bygone era in the top notes. In the heart, a somewhat luxurious spiciness and coziness takes over, enveloping you in a cloud of richness.

Even though, in my early 20's, the new Chloe should be more my style, as it is for my friends, the original Chloe sits better on my skin. Dated, yes it most certainly is, but this is a classic in more ways than one.

Chloe has the tendency to be a sillage monster, so a light application is necessary. I don't know for how long Chloe will grace our stores, but I'm hoping it will stick around for at least a few more years.

The opposite of low-key

Chloé is a loud, cheerful and brilliant fragrance that draws attention: Definitely not for days when you want to melt inconspicuously into the background. Chloé is intense, warm, soft, sensual and very flowery, powdery and musky in the drydown. Be careful with the dosage, a little goes a long way! The fragrance is strong, distinctive with a pronounced sillage, and it becomes easily overwhelming if over-applied, causing sensitive people to pull open the windows. But when the fragrance matches your skin chemistry and you don't overdo it, Chloé really is a wonderful and ultra-feminine fragrance!

Worthy purchase ... in vintage bottle

This fragrance demands a pretty dress, a classic handbag, and kitten heels. Makes me feel like a lady on those rare occasions when I want to be one. I am NOT a flower girl, and classic chypres drive me batty. But Chloe is so well-done, so well-executed that I can put that all aside. It's lovely. After recently sampling a number of classic florals, including 24 Faubourg & Fracas, vintage Chloe was the fragrance that I decided to add to my collection.

Chloe is worth getting if you can find a sufficiently old bottle in good condition on fleabay or at a resale shop. Look for Chloe by Parfums Lagerfeld, Paris. I have a 50ml EdT in a frosted glass bottle with a silver cap. The box is labeled "spray naturel vaporisateur" with an alcohol content of 82%, made in France. The "aorta" looking bottle is the parfum. The clear bottle is also EdT & comes in 60ml, 120ml & 240ml.

The newer bottles of the original Chloe can safely be passed up. A vintage bottle stored in box is the only way to go.

Time traveling potion

This is one of the big florals from my childhood. It has everything when it comes to sillage, longevity and wow factor. It reminds me of a friend, who started to wear it when we all wore LouLou and Poison. It was given to her by her boyfriend, who loved it, and she wore it for many years - even when the boyfriend changed. It became her signature scent.
This is a scent that never becomes outdated. Being from 1975 it could have been a scent people would frown upon, but actually it is as great today as it used to be. I get compliments when wearing it, mostly from younger people who are not familiar with it. And sometimes I get comments from people my age, who drift down memory lane, telling me about their mother/aunt/sister who used to wear this.
Besides being a wonderful, huge floral with loads of notes it is also a snapshot of a time. Seing the ad with the woman leaning over the bottle instantly brings me back to my childhood, and the smell of the perfume hits my nose. Time travelling… Luckily this is still easy to find.

Tropical delight

I have the original Parfums Lagerfeld version. Long before the 1980s powerhouse giants bowled over the market, Chloe set the stage for greatness, and considering the 1970s market, was very successful.

This is a very attractive fragrance. The sultry warm weather white florals and peach are delicious. Then all of the other color flowers sweep into the picture. It's like stepping into a tropical flower garden in Hawaii. This is sweet, creamy and could easily be the scent of the best shower soap/shampoo there was. This was the inspiration for Giorgio and all of those white floral giants to followed.

After 2000 Lagerfeld perfumes were destroyed by IFRA restrictions which led to some of the worst reformulations to hit the market. There are vintages out there to rediscover this masterwork.
