A Softer, Less Sharp Flanker

I find this fragrance far more favourable than Love by Chloe EDP. The original made me sneeze with its bold sillage and sharp, almost fizzy powderiness. Thankfully, Love by Chloe Eau Florale has a much softer presence.

It's really pretty and flowery on the skin, with the familiar powder note found in the original. The lilac has been replaced with sweet pea in this flanker, and the overall feeling is more fresh and airy.

A subtle tea note in the drydown, provides an interesting green quality. It's what makes this fragrance so suitable for Spring and Summer.

Love by Chloe Eau Florale has surpassed all my expectations. I enjoyed it enough to recommend it as a wedding day fragrance to one of my dear friends. Here's hoping that she'll use it for her special day.

Fans of the original Love EDP will be pleased to know that Love by Chloe Eau Florale has much in common with its predecessor, however the softer aspects may find this fragrance some new fans. I know that I personally would choose this flanker over and above the EDP and the Intense version. Actually, make it my pick out of the entire Chloe range.

The packaging is as always, very classy and chic. The lighter pink bottle is a nice touch. This flanker has my personal tick of approval. Very nicely done.

Feathery and silky-soft; a floral, romantic powder dream

Love, Chloé didn’t stay long in my collection. I love the floral-powdery opening, the vintage touch, the immense, feminine aura of the fragrance that spreads gently yet firmly. I was so looking forward to the scent, but a harsh, intrusive, and unpleasant note destroys the delicate weave. I can’t even say exactly what it is. Probably the interplay of the heart notes themselves. Such a shame, because I really like wisteria. The neighboring house from my childhood was almost overgrown with the fragrant plant, so the scent of the blossoms puts me in a beautiful, nostalgic mood.
Love, Chloé Intense, on the other hand, develops wonderfully on me, but in my opinion, it doesn’t really fit into summer. I see it more as a sensual winter fragrance.
But since I don’t want to wait that long, I brought Eau Florale into the house. Thanks to dear Dusnatli. Hooked by Gruftikatze’s comment, which resonates quite well with my feelings.

The opening presents itself in good Chloé fashion: fresh and soapy, weightless and airy. Very delicate powder appears, very pleasant and only slightly voluminous. Somehow, the pyramid seems sparse to me; there must be much more in it. I think I smell a transparent rose, including soft, powdery, honey-sweet pollen. Along with the finest, almost transparent scent fragments of my beloved wisteria.
A very floral opening. Fresh like a March morning, infused with winter cold, while the first golden rays of sun already warm, feathery white veil clouds adorn the flawless blue sky. A cooling breeze sweeps through the young, light green foliage of the trees. The scent provides a peaceful and deep sense of well-being in a very pure form. Unspoiled and optimistic, bright and clear. It creates a really good mood and brings a smile to the lips, a rosy touch to the cheeks.
At the latest, when the fragrance becomes increasingly lovely, softer, and the attribute "floral" is earned with flying colors, it has touched my heart. In a simple and honest way. It is dreamily beautiful; my nose keeps seeking out the scented spot. Although the fragrance is very powdery, it does not feel dusty or oppressive. It is a very fluffy and light powder. Not compact, but loose. Effortlessly, it swirls softly in pale pink and gentle. Airy and free. It reminds me of the dance of a ballerina, a gifted soloist. Ballet has always fascinated me. This body-focused aesthetic, the discipline, the beautiful figures. A grueling sport, associated with much pain and daily, hours-long training. Yet it ultimately looks so light, so effortless. So spontaneous and free, as if it were not choreography, but merely danced out of passion. So perfect and complete, graceful, elegant, and stylish. Then all the equipment, white, pink, light gray, satin, silk, tulle, lace, glitter, and feathers... that seems to be my world. Unfortunately, I never became a ballerina. My mother thought she had to protect me from it, as it ruins your whole body and is incredibly expensive. It’s quite possible she is right. But as ambitious and relentless as I can be, I would have certainly become the Swan Queen... Well, who knows what good it was that I wasn’t allowed to take that path.
It’s also irrelevant, because with Eau Florale, I have found my white swan. One that accompanies me through the day with rustling tulle, theatrical makeup, and much romance and budding passion. The projection is above average but not too loud. For hours, I revel in luxurious floral powder, feminine and grown-up, without being matronly or stiff.
A very beautiful progression: from fresh and soapy, through delicate-sweet and petal-soft to wonderfully powdery and fluffy-creamy. White musk is definitely part of it, of the clean and floral kind. Perhaps also a bit of cedarwood; the base definitely invites dreaming. A romantic and tender conclusion, vulnerable and lovable, yet far from being pale or weak. Just like the ambitious and tough soloists, who at first glance may seem very slender and almost fragile, they carry within them much strength and endurance, a strong will, drama, and a lot of feeling.

For spring and summer, a fine little fragrance; in autumn, the big sister Intense will celebrate her debut. I am very happy to have discovered this powder dream for myself. Hopefully, more perfumes will succumb to its romantic charm; the fragrance is unjustly ranked in the back places.

Love!

For my mother's birthday, I gifted her the EdP of Love, Chloé.
She loves it, but I find it too intense. I think it has a sharp note that pushes too much to the forefront.

That's why I wanted to test Eau Florale. However, Love, Chloé Eau Florale is NOWHERE to be found in my hometown and surrounding area, which is why I bought the fragrance online, also on iparfumerie.at, "blind."

I don't regret the purchase for a second. It was love at first sniff. I've never encountered such an incredibly beautiful, powdery, feminine scent before. So clean and fresh, definitely not synthetic. I also notice a light (clean!) floral note, quiet and in the background. I want this fragrance in my collection forever, a true treasure!

Love, Chloe Eau Florale is long-lasting, with a medium sillage. I don't limit myself to a season, but I believe the scent is wearable at any time of the year. It has something soft and warm about it, without being musty. I've never been able to say this about a fragrance, but for this one, it is true for me (!) - The scent is perfect.

The bottle is also beautiful and elegant. The soft pink color matches the feminine, delicate content, and the golden chain is an eye-catcher.

(And ordering online was a very good idea, I want to add. Ordered Thursday evening, the fragrance arrived Monday morning. Additionally, I have the advantage of not being looked down upon, as is common in perfume shops due to my dark appearance. At 18, do I not have the right to be treated with the same respect as others? Am I not allowed to smell good just because I like to dress darker?)

Conclusion: Feminine, pure fragrance with recognizability. Powdery and clean floral, suitable for any occasion.

Gleaming Pictures

My grandfather had a wonderful garden that was admired and marveled at by the neighbors.
In the center was a magnificent rose roundel, consisting of noble polyantha roses, which I loved to circle around as a child.

But in one corner of the elegant garden were the inevitable trash bins, which already troubled my child’s eye back then.
So, I gave my grandfather a little bag of sweet pea seeds for his birthday to green over this "eyesore".
He was very touched by my thoughtful gift and praised my ingenuity.

And just a year later, the modest little bag had turned into a floral splendor that eagerly covered the unsightly trash bins.
The yellow and white flowers looked at me like friendly eyes - and their scent was enchantingly beautiful.
They competed with the proud roses and were in no way inferior to them in fragrance.

Their twists and curls reminded me of my colorful gleaming pictures that I loved to admire on the garden bench.
These little pictures, often depicting garden idylls, were treasured by me like a treasure.
And this scene, where I sat lost in thought in front of the fragrant wall of sweet peas, is awakened in me again by eau Florale.
Along with the spicy scent of mate tea that grandma had brewed.
The powderiness of Eau Florale is like a soft focus that bathes the memory in a gentle light.

A romantic floral fragrance full of poetry and a piece of childhood.

Ordered Blindly...

And I don't regret it ;)
I was intrigued by the comments about Chloe Love Eau Florale and was tempted to buy the fragrance blind (thanks to the lovely Navuc)

I'm not really the best at sniffing out individual components of a fragrance. For me, it’s more about "smells good" or "smells bad"... maybe also: powdery, green, woody, warm, floral, herbal, sticky, sweet, etc.

I'm also not a fantastic storyteller like some others here in the forum whose stories about a fragrance are quite good ;)

Okay... enough blah blah:
I really like the scent. Fine and lightly powdery, delicate and floral, but not sharp or headache-inducing. Not a crazy floral scent that overwhelms you, and not cloying or old, but fresh and fragrant. And very pleasant.

I'm glad that it now resides with me ;)

Still looking for an authentic weekend scent... I can recognize the tea here, but the floral note is different, almost citrusy on me, later slightly soapy.
