Quite nice, but rather irrelevant
As a longtime lover of Dior's Tendre Poison, I doggedly pursue all leads for related scents. Authentic Marouissa was also described as similar, so I bought it.
The opening of the perfume is very alcoholic and a little dusty - reminds me of the smell of an empty drawer of a wooden chest of drawers left in the attic decades ago. Or those cedar bags that you put in the closet a long time ago to ward off moths and forgot about: dusty and woody with residual spice.
When this rather unattractive phase is over, it becomes flowery, but by no means with the power of a 90s boom, but rather shyly the daffodils draw attention to themselves. Over time, they even manage to neutralize the dusty woody notes, which I think is good for the fragrance, as it becomes softer, fresher and more harmonious. Nevertheless, the whole composition seems synthetic, flat and characterless. There is no change, no surprise, no depth. It blooms quietly and increasingly soapy and that's it.
The sillage is moderate, at most an arm's length with a good nose.
Since Authentic Maroussia is not overly sweet and has a certain aftershave freshness and woodiness, I can also imagine the fragrance on a man. But there really are better fragrances on the market. This perfume is too insignificant and is probably only available on Ebay.

Curry herb as a "game changer" (meant positively!)
BEAM! The opening is fierce - lots of spice (is that immortelle, aka curry herb?) with the background brushed against the grain; perhaps the "salty notes" I couldn't tell without looking at the pyramid. In the opening, florals and citrus also mix in, key major, fresh and clear like a spring morning, with lots of "hello-wake-up vibe". The fragrance is initially reminiscent of an expensive aftershave, not pleasing mainstream, but quite exclusive.
If then jasmine and tuberose come on the scene, the fragrance becomes softer and more intimate, but through the curry herb never trivial. On the contrary, this plant triad really has it in itself! The spice note rubs up against the lush floral bouquet throughout - a battle in which no one emerges as the clear winner. This is really exciting cinema!
The fragrance becomes increasingly softer and closer to the skin after an hour. Sandalwood and vanilla reconcile the opposites and create a wonderful harmony. Now I experience the fragrance as quite also soapy - a precious soap that you do not use for the quick morning shower, but at leisure during a ceremonial cleansing ritual, at the end of which you wrap yourself in a cozy bathrobe and drink a glass of champagne to revitalize the circulation.
The durability of the perfume is not great, however; after three, four hours, the concert is almost over, but the fine-round base can be sniffed - albeit faintly - around 12 hours on the skin.
Conclusion: I like Chloé Fleur Immortelle very, very well. A certain similarity I see to Orpheón by Dipytyque, where juniper instead of Immortelle keeps the flowers in check; who owns this fragrance, perhaps does not necessarily need the Chloé. The latter holds the contrast of spicy vs. floral longer through, however, and thus seems more characterful.
For me, a multi-layered unisex fragrance, which I (female) can imagine extremely well on a man - he would be sure many compliments from the ladies.
A supplement still: Even if the Immortelle in German Currykraut is called, so her scent does not remind of the kitchen spice.
