Innocence Chloé 1995

So was the title of the piece by TLC that accompanied the commercial for this fragrance back then. In the ad, you saw cuddling girls in a milky white setting, neo-David Hamilton.
This may have contributed to the US market having a problem with the scent, and it never really took off, not even in Germany. The strange, uterus-like bottle also drew mockery and ridicule, and so the fragrance, which followed the ultra-floral, then-successful scent Chloe Narcisse, did not become one.
I thought it was great back then. The music was hip, the ad was hot, and the bottle, well, it was just a bottle.
But the scent was excitingly different, hot-cold, sweet-fresh, crazysexycool.
The hyacinth in the top note knocked everything that smelled like it or after it down. Still, the fragrance had a freshness kick and also a slight powderiness. The sillage was rather sweet-floral and slightly sharp.
The longevity was a bit of a letdown.
I am now a bit older and wouldn’t wear it this year, but I sometimes sniff my remaining bit or its weaker scent twin (Energizing Fragrance by Shiseido) when I want to be reminded of the mid-90s....
