A mid 90s scent
The mid 90s, to me, is a period with an overweight of beautiful linear fragrances with few notes. Simplicity and back to quiet. I suppose some may disagree and this is not the whole picture, but this is how I remember it. At least I remember a change from the 80s’ strong flower-bombs to something way more quiet. It was like fashion turning down the volume.
Innocence is in my opinion a typical mid 90s’ scent: Sour, flowery, powdery… that is Innocence to my nose. Not much ado. The sour comes first. Not a bad, but a different sour. Like sharp citrus fruit, the feeling of picking the peel of a lemon. Then especially the rose and violets come to play and that combo is even more odd. It stays sour but in a flowery way. Finally, the warmer, more powdery feeling ends the journey. All in all a great tour… But…
Actually, the fragrance is not the reason why I bought this. It was, as often before, the bottle. Minimalistic, organically shaped an opaque. I really like it. I do not know how to describe the shape of the bottle. It looks hand crafted by a glass blower, a sculpture of some sort. A work of art, definitely.

Innocence - case Not Proven
A sort of sugar-water pink peony, with jasmin, grannies violets and orange flower, but even notes like grapefruit, banana skin, green notes and a dark bitter iris can't restrain an powerful sugar rush. For a massively sweet-toothed profile it handles the syrup quite well, and by holding onto a watery texture it stays on the breathable side of glycerine.

It comes as no surprise to see the adverts for this showing a pale, blue eyed, blond girl, the super-sweet scent points directly at the teen market.

The saccharin simplicity of Innocence is a remote descendant of that first great puberty perfume - Anaïs Anaïs, and both must be held responsible for prizing open the bedroom door to those morally (and aesthetically) dubious phenomena, Celebrity Perfume and perfume for girls.

Chloé - not so innocent.

Squeaky Clean, Green, Cold Floral
I have found that the word 'opulent' as used by perfumers (Amouage, Ineke, et al.) in their marketing literature is actually code for soapy/aldehydic floral compositions, and I'd have to say that Chloe INNOCENCE fits right into that category. This is a fairly sharp, very soapy green floral perfume reminiscent to my nose of Dior TENDRE POISON.

The hyacinth is dominant, but the squeaky clean quality of this creation is what is most striking of all, above the flowers and everything else. When I donned this perfume today, it occurred to me that it may very well have been the inspiration of the entire CLEAN line. Strong and declarative (potential headache alert...), and a bit cold, I'd say. I realize that aldehydes are not listed among the notes, but INNOCENCE is closer to WHITE LINEN than it is to most floral greens, it seems to me.

A refreshing floral fragrance
Now I'm looking at another vintage miniature. I find Innocence to be a pretty solid fragrance that doesn't create any particular "wow" effect. The longevity on my skin is 7 to 8 hours with a rather mediocre sillage.

The top note starts fresh, greenish, clean and citrusy thanks to bergamot. The heart note offers a sea of flowers consisting of hyacinths, lily of the valley, narcissus, rose water, tuberose and jasmine flowers. Iris and violet provide a certain powderiness. The base has a sweet and woody scent of cedarwood, vetiver and rosewood.

The fact that Innocence is no longer available is not the end of the world for me, because I wasn't blown away by it. So my miniature can move on.
