SeeByChloé Chloé 2012

SeeByChloé is a sub-line of Chloé. The fragrance is dedicated to Brigitte Bardot. The bottle, shaped like a birdcage, is meant to represent her desire for freedom, while the freshness of the apple blossom is intended to reflect the girlishness of the blonde icon. In addition to the Eau de Parfum, there are already body care products from the fragrance line on the shelves.

The scent opens with a burst of freshness from the mentioned apple blossom and a hint of citrus aromas. After about thirty minutes, a delicate jasmine bouquet becomes noticeable, but the apple blossom aroma still remains in the foreground. Once this point is reached, the fragrance does not change for a while. After about 4 hours, it becomes sweeter and softer with a subtle woody note.

Overall, the perfume is not bad. BUT: It's also not good. The apple blossom seems artificial to me, as if Bardot had a green Hubba Bubba in her pouting mouth. The rest is somehow already uninteresting. The bottle looks cute, but I don't feel any desire for freedom with it. And for my bird, I don't need a cage anyway.
