Sovereignty Needs No Exclamation Marks
"L'Eau de Chloé" is a refined femininity inspired by cosmetic scents, perfectly embodying the new Chloés. Its role within the Chloé family: cool sovereignty, slightly distant, slightly factual, slightly sober.
However, being entirely Chloé, this delicate green "Eau" is categorically sovereign and cool, but without the governess-like strictness of most straightforward women's classics. Even more so, it lacks the herbal-bitter exclamation marks of many vintages or the pinched mouth corners of traditional colognes. It also forgoes the claws of icy, green-bitter chypres.
It hints at all these "don't-touch-me" characteristics, but in a Chloé translation.
Upon spraying, these immediately come to life: decidedly green citrus fruit spreads out, more dry than juicy. Soon, a dark, very cool iris unfolds-which isn't really an iris at all: sterile rose and especially dry patchouli create a cold-bitter iris (like in some iris soliflores where the iris can easily double). This wonderful fake iris eventually fades into a sea of freshly washed linen: slightly rough, but always clean and cozy.
In this sense, "Eau de Chloé" may be too rough, too bitter, too dry, too straightforward for one wearer. For another, it may be too little of that. For one, it will be too little Chloé, for another too much Chloé. For many others, however, the "Eau" will be just right-precisely sovereign, un-playful, cool, and pure. And still Chloé enough.
Just like for me. Thanks, Hasi!
