Warm, clear minimalism
Prelude: long intro full of uninteresting life story! Here it goes:
As a teenager, I wore "Chloé (eau de parfum) "and didn't like it. Seduced by a pretty, oversized and no less impressive, far too perfect face on a rose gold advertising poster and an overworked saleswoman who quite rightly suspected an easy victim in my lost, disoriented person, I, without much hesitation from hard-earned Christmas money, purchased this bottle.
I wore it extensively, regularly, almost doggedly, always carrying around the perfect face in the back of my mind, hoping to transfer some of that beauty to my lackluster appearance, to perhaps convince the suitable man for life of me as a top candidate.
But we have never really fit together. And worked that, as was to be suspected, also only in my head. A few years have gone by, The dating era is over (thankfully! Hopefully?), and Chloé has become a forgotten relic of another time in my life.
Until I found a sample of this fragrance here. It had crept into my collection, defying the watch list, and was already threatening to feist an unappreciated existence until I read more closely. "Absolu aha... probably like the original, only with proper volume. Or as with so many Absolues, Intenses, extraits and what else there is simply vanilla and tuberose pure, shake vigorously and re-market.
Nevertheless, I tested the sample. Just like that.And I would be carried back, to another time. Uncertain, full of overwhelming emotions but also full of passion.
And like me, Chloe has grown up. Absolu shows itself clear but not strict, minimalist but not structured through, warm but not lulling. Like a woman who has simply let go of a lot of things she thought she needed for a long time.
The Chloe DNA, that typically austere rose, clearly shines through and doesn't stray anywhere throughout the fragrance either, but the vanilla dulls it right at the start, rounding the edges, taming the spikes, and gently accompanying it to a grounded, unseasoned and soft base.
Don't misunderstand: Clean is still the fragrance, it also fits perfectly in a dentist's office, an office or a car dealership. Only he is no longer the pretty lady with pulled parting and ironed blouse and white nails at the reception, he is rather the warm, warm and well-groomed woman from the administration, whom everyone likes to have around, who always has an open ear and now and then brings the best cookies for everyone.
But you don't really know much about her life, because she always remains professional and clear.
I think it's dreamy.
