Hello dear ones,
I just have to write a comment about this perfume, even though I know it has unfortunately been discontinued since around 2016. I was incredibly sad about it, as ''Love, Chloé'' is my absolute favorite perfume. It is the reason I signed up on this wonderful site to search for new treasures! It perfectly matched my taste back in my teenage years, and to this day, I love this scent. No other perfume has ever achieved that for me... Sigh...
Well then, how does one describe such a wonderful, warm, and cuddly scent?
First of all, I believe the following: it is not necessarily a crowd-pleaser, and that is probably why it was discontinued. ''Love, Chloé'' could also be a scent from the 80s with incredible longevity and sillage. Nevertheless, it is beautiful with its violet flowers blended with powder and expensive cream into an infinitely lovely mixture with wonderful musk in the drydown.
Development, longevity & sillage: I don't really notice much of the orange blossom and pepper, but it is incredibly intense & powdery at first. The flowers create an unbelievably beautiful melange with the powder, which maintains an incredible intensity & sillage from start to finish, making me want to just inhale this scent, although I sometimes feel a bit sorry for the people around me when I am in closed spaces. The scent lasts 24 hours on the skin and several days on clothing, and the drydown is simply feminine, powdery, and elegant. I now use it very sparingly and only for special occasions.
My associations:
- a woman standing in front of a Monet at the Musée d'Orsay, thoughtfully contemplating the painting
- the powder as a fragrant beauty ideal of a woman
- the color beige
- a sea of violet flowers, a gentle breeze blowing
- elegance, timelessness, and classicism
If any of you lovely girls or boys know a similar scent with comparable powderiness and warm floral beauty, please let me know. My last bottle won't last forever :D
Hey everyone, thanks for your inspirations. I also found a really good dupe for Éclat (220) as a consolation. The notes are almost identical, I have to give it credit, but I still miss the Chloé because it was just so special =) Ciel by Amouage sounds really good too, maybe I'll get a sample someday. Thanks for the tips =)
Awww, such a beautiful description, absolutely lovely! I was briefly immersed in this little story (association)! I still have a bottle and I'm too scared to use it! :)
I know that all too well. Many of my favorites have been discontinued. But since I joined here, I've discovered so many beautiful new treasures that I'm not as sad anymore.
I still have a bottle and I'm too scared to use it! :)
