Chloé Eau de Parfum Intense

OMG, this scent is incredible! I am completely addicted. I sprayed a bit on my wrist the other day thinking in a few hours I'd realize it was nothing special, but the opposite happened. I was sniffing my wrist well into the night and all of the next morning (longevity is outrageous!). I washed my hands very carefully in order to avoid washing the scent off. I finally realized that I needed to take a shower and could not avoid washing it off. I couldn't stand the thought of washing it away forever, so I went out and splurged on a bottle--now I will NEVER be without! Haha! Imagine the scenario: You are walking home with a fresh, warm baguette on a cold, dark, rainy day. Through the foggy gray haze, a bright and colorful flower shop catches your eye. You walk in and admire the bouquets of freshly cut white roses, with the dew still on them. Later that night, after you and your date finish a romantic dinner, you go back to his place to get cozy by the fire, his nose gently brushing your bare neck.... This is the same scenario that goes through my mind every time I wear it. The strongest note is rose, but it's a fresh, crisp rose, not an old Victorian one. A light dusting of powder gives it a delicate nakedness that makes you want to bear your soul. It's romantic, intriguing, sensual, uninhibited, 100% woman. It's perfect for day and night--and especially for getting intimate! Until I found Chloe, my favorite rose scent was Ce Soir ou Jamais by Annick Goutal, which is deeper and more traditional. They are both beautiful but very, very different. I think Chloe is a lot more unique, modern, and fresh. UPDATE: Wore it on a date recently, and I've never had such an amazing reaction. As soon as he caught a whisper of my perfume, he looked like I'd hit him in the face and he could barely manage to ask what perfume I was wearing through his stuttering. There was no rain, no baguette, and no fire...but his nose was most definitely brushing my bare neck! ;)

This is a fragrance that I have previously reviewed back when I first purchased it. My nose was not good at picking up the complexity of this fragrance, but today I felt the need to write a new one. It has been such a long time since I have worn this fragrance, I think its been a few months now. Reaching for some familiar on certain days really works some magic. Chole Intense is a fragrance which I wear sparingly because I do not want to run out of it anytime soon. It is still amazingly beautiful! It surprised me though because, I can smell a lot more in it now than I was ever able to before today. A distinct honey rose vibe is still there (which might be the soapiness that everyone else is smelling), but it no longer smells like rosewater to me like it used to. The pink pepper popped up and enhanced the rose without ever becoming overpowering. Chloe Intense is spicier now and a little more complex, but its still a simple fragrance. The dry down is a soft sandalwood rose blend that is a little balmy. I might be a little crazy, but this is still a year around favorite of mine. It really matters on how you apply so it does not become too overwhelming. On me its a very soft fragrance it lasts forever on my skin and does not have a big sillage, more of an intimate scent. Honestly, some of the simplest fragrances are some of the most beautiful. A nose does not always need to be challegd to make a scent interesting. I also did not realize before today that this is the fragrance that the people around me recognize as my scent. If they smell the bottle they think of me. This would make Chole Intense my signature scent and I finally am willing to acknowledge it though it had been hiding in my collection for over a year. Sometimes you just can no longer deny what makes you feel good. <3 I love my Chloe Intense and I am glad my nose appreciates it more now then it has ever before.

Every now and then even commercial perfumery launch highly meaningful perfumes on market not just ridicously expensive pinky fruity candy baskets. And not just overclean, polished florals. Previous Chloe is just that: a well made, elegant-refined floral with a modern twist. Good job, but not enough for my wild tastes. Original old Chloe was much wilder in its old-fashioned tuberose kick. Now I happened to smell this Eau de Parfum Intense while exercising (shelf crawling) and immediately thought: "Wow! Now this is perfume!" For reference think that I come from Idylle and L'Instant, Stella and Organza, Montale Ouds and original Poison and much before from long-term relationship with beloved Samsara (pre-reformulation) and Amarige (also old formula)... So you might guess simple waters are not my style, even if I find them pleasant in summer, preferably old school colognes. Chloe Eau de Parfum Intense gives me just the right impact I need to feel with perfume: ultra-feminine, strong and vaguely oriental. There is a thin line between intensity and suffocation. I guess that line changes for everyone and in the same person according to changes of life. Yes, I smell rose here but not as the only core of the blend. I think that sandalwood is what intrigued me. The heart of this composition is about rose-sandalwood-sweet spice. I hardly believe that the listed notes are complete. It seems to me that they represent only the core of scents. For me this scent is a solid chance of buying a perfume which is both new (too many memories in my old scents) and satisying at the same time. I managed to have a sample. I see FB purchase...

Absolutely gorgeous! Has the same foundation as Chloe EDP but it's grown up and more sophisticated. Where Chloe EDP hit me hard in the nose with it's white floral effervescence in the opening; Chloe Intense caressed and beckoned me. On paper, Chloe Intense initially is all pepper and Roses but these two just work with my skin and lose all the sharp edges quickly. Act 2 develops into resinous notes that are very, very sexy. This is where Chloe Intense shines. Sadly, it doesn't last long on my skin. 2 hours in and Chloe Intense has dried down to a light, close to the skin musk almost identical to Chloe EDP. Very soapy overall. Great, because 10 hours later I still smell fantastic but I want that initial burst of "Intense" to linger a bit longer. I don't feel like Chloe Intense is rich enough to be solely a cooler weather scent. It's August in Texas and my nose is very particular depending on the weather. That said, Chloe Intense hasn't bothered me in the least. It's simply beautiful and I think it could work for most seasons and day or night. Projection is not huge. Dies down pretty close within a few minutes. I can get away with 2-3 sprays and not be offensive. Longevity: it definitely lasts and lasts. Just not the way I want it to. In spite of a few flaws, I think Chloe Intense is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I can't wait until the weather cools to see how she develops. Also might work well layered with a longer lasting linear rose scent like Jo Malone's Red Roses or Perfumer's Workshop Tea Rose.

I usually wait at least few days to write reviews of my new scents so I don't gibber nonsense, but right now I'm too excited not to for my newly obtained Chloe Intense decant!!! Firstly I don't understand the funeral flower analogy. You wouldn't call a woody fragrance heavy on sandalwood "smells like coffin", then why would a floral with heavier Australian sandalwood base smell like funeral? Chloe intense is so beautiful. It's much more grounded than Chloe EDP, but still fizzy with the pink pepper (no table pepper on me at all). I have always been annoyed by the green fruity base other Chloe fragrances in this line have, but in Chloe Intense that is perfectly taken out. It's just warm, a tad bit sweet, a barely burnt kind of rose. Lasts long but doesn't overpower the wearer. I'm 26 and I can wear this perfectly. How do I compare this to other rose scents I tried in similar fashion? It is less smoky and less sour than Tauer Phi Une Rose de Kandahar, not as jammy like Jo Malone Velvet Rose and Oud, deeper than Chloe EDP without the fruitiness, not as pure rosy (cause of the sandalwood and tonka) compared to SL La Fille de Berlin, and completely different from the dirty Rose Anonyme by Atelier. If you dream about getting a big time complicated rose scent then you really miss the point of Chloe Intense: this is designed to be a warm, clean, and cozy fragrance that follows you from day to night. Simple as that. Fruity floral and rose lovers stray, but pepper and sandalwood lovers do stay!

I love this one. It is marvellous, by far one of the best perfumes out there. You cannot compare it to the vast majority of the other so called perfumes selling these days. It is in a different league. This is a perfume and brings the concept back, reminding one of what a good perfume is like, apparently vastly forgotten. You sniff it together with practically any other perfume out there and see the difference. Beautiful scent, and on the top, classy and sophisticated. I do not think you get classier and morre sophisticated than this. Better on a mature woman. I like it much better than Chloe edt or edp. It is quite different, although a variation on the same theme. You can smell Chloe Edp (or edt) in the background, but there is more to it. Pink peppery harsh powdery airy rose scent rises from that background as the atmosphere overlays the ground. This is a piece of art, a really valuable addition to the world, something which surpasses what nature has to offer without the contribution of mankind. But at the same time it is constructed along the lines of classical perfumery and feels like part of it. There is no concession to current trend here, despite th pink pepper, because it does have in this perfume a different character, a much more subttle presence. It is too expensive, although this one is probably one of the few perfumes worth the price it sells for. I would like to know who is the perfumer. Amazing perfume.

A magnificent perfume. Just stunning. It ́s got something SO right in its spiciness that never gets sharp or too peppery. I have and love the original Chloe and first time I tried this Intense version I had imagined it being boring because it lacks litchi, which I adore in the original. Well, if Intense lacks litchi then there is something in the way Chloe treats the rose itself that is absolutely wonderful. Because I smell the kinship to the original, but while that one is brighter, fruitier and colder, this is warmer- but not too much- and certainly balsamic. Later: According to Chloe, Chloe Intense DOES have litchi! And also... Well these: pink peppercorn, freesia, litchi, pink peony / creamy sandalwood, magnolia, rose petals, lily of the valley / tonka bean, amber, honey, cedar wood. That makes SO much more sense than the few notes listed here! Anyway, its woodiness is lovely and smooth and it lasts and lasts. I actually think I like it even more than the original because it ́s just more versatile- Chloe original is more... strict in a strange way. The original is certainly fruitier, but like I said, also colder. Intense is alluringly deep, but never cloying. The rose and cedar... Mmmmmm! Big love for me. (Meanwhile- why do Fragrantica keep on posting the wrong notes or way too FEW notes? What is going on lately?

Intense indeed , but gets smooth and powdery dreamy dark rose after some time its a lovely rose , pepper and balmy spice like a... - creation of God ! Sorry. - creation of Chloe. of course . Lovely, spicy and a little boozy feeling but so subtle it placed itself right up on top shelf . in a second ! Thanks desireegascon for a splendid swap ! Update I love this and are truly addicted ! It starts kind of raw smelling of pergament or carnation maybe.. . the rose is dusty and dry in an oldfashioned way but is oh soo trendy and has little or no sweetnes .It becomes a really lovely balmy spice and rose scent in the drydown. Must admit I don't fancy the other edp.edt or leau but looove the intense version ! Different and simply gorgeous ! If its not gonna be taken of market this will stay with me forever - that good Best rose ever.not to strong spicey or sweet.♡♡♡ Update: One of my favorite scents ever , heard its discontinued - better start stocking up !!!

I do love intense floral scents...but the original Chloe Chloe was somehow hard for me to love. The reformulation was just unbearable. I moved over to Chloe Narcisse and found it better. But it was never love. So when I saw all the positive reviews here for Chloe Eau de Parfum Intense that mentioned "rose" I was confused. I love rose scented perfumes! But I don't remember rose being prominent in Chloe. Then I saw CEdP Intense at Marshall's for a semi-reasonalbe price. My most expensive blind buy...based totally on everyone's reviews. And I have not been steered wrong. This is a lovely scent. It starts with a waft of pink pepper and rose which seems like it will quickly dry down to nothing. But no! I am instead enveloped in a soft yet penetrating cloud of sweet pure rose and spicy pepper that gradually admits a shadowy but persistant sandalwood. And it lasts forever. I am in love.

Chloe- Chloe Intense This is the perfect kind of Rose fragrance and I have thoroughly enjoyed all the 4 Chloe scents that have been released in this gorgeous bottle however though Intense sits at the top of the ladder not only for its strength in character and staying power but the fact that for my nose and my tastes the Rose in this fragrance is not as mute as it is in the original Eau de Parfum. I dont think I'll go into the notes of this fragrance because it is pretty much just Rose and Sandalwood with a thin and warm layer of Pink Pepper in the drydown which gives it a linear sort of quality. However people may feel about this scent I think its a Triumph for the Chloe brand and I think that its unusual representation of the Rose scent is beautifully done. It is quite pricey here in Australia but it is worth every cent.

My beloved Beau selected this fragrance for me. He was very decisive between Chloe new and intense, he loved the intense. It was one I never thought he'd go for but after a spritz on my wrist he wouldnt remove his nose which was quite amuzing since we were shopping inner city. Recently I had another test of the intense and myself couldnt stop smelling myself, I ordered it yesterday :-) Funnily enough, my neighbour had a similar story wth Chloe new... Her beau stole the scented paper off of her! she ordered it from me lastnight Its lovely to smell good for your boy xx

This reminds me of my grandmother and that's a good thing. When I was a little girl I remember her vanity with her perfumed body powder, her toilette water, the clean soapy scent of her skin. This is what Chloe Intense smells like to me. A powdery slightly woody rose that makes me nostalgic. I love this so much because of how it makes me feel and the memories it evokes. I would describe this as a romantic perfume. I would never call this (or any perfume) old lady because it's insulting to the perfume and women. Mature and romantic is a much better description.

Chloe intense is a wonderful soapy peppery rose scent with a very soapy-sandalwood dry down.I agree with Vie_Cafe about how stong this scent can be to the point of suffocation. I agree to try applying to your wrists and maybe lower on your chests before trying around the neck, so close to the face. It can be a bit overpowering. It is a very very fresh soapy sent, I image lots of rosey peppery suds. I like this fragrace and think is is a wonderful interpretation of a rose fragrance. This fragrance lasts and lasts! Fresh, Feminine, Clean and Classy! ;)

I wouldn't normally like any rose fragrances, but I got it ages ago at a time when I was becoming more interested with perfumes. Once a few years back, I sprayed it in a notebook and when you opened the pages (even from feet 6 away) the scent of this mixed with the notebook paper softly wafted through the air. For that reason specifically, this perfume is exceptionally memorable to me. I let the mist fall over all the notebooks I have now, and even the very first notebook I sprayed it in still smells just like Chloe. The tenacity is ridiculous. 9/10

On my skin this is a balmy, sweet, honeysuckle rose. I love all the chloes (edt, edp, intense) but this one is more sensual, at least for me, and puts me in a seductive mood. I find it unbearable to wear in the warmer weather due to its thick and balmy nature but it is suitable for me to wear occasionally in the fall, winter, and cool spring nights. edit: I love wearing this in warm weather! Warms up nicely on the skin in the heat. Very intoxicating! Can be too heady if overly applied

I tried three perfumes in Takashima-ya this afternoon, and Chloe was by far the winner, again. Their line of perfumes are super feminine. I have always loved, loved everything about being a woman, so yes, this is what appeals to me. It reminds me strongly of Chloe eau de parfum, although the top notes here are rose and tonka beans, whereas the main notes in the eau de parfum to me are rose and lychee. Chloe has stolen my (womanly) heart.

I loved this perfume and was so sad when they took it of the market! Today I found a perfume that smells Excatly the same on me!! So if you loved Chloe intense just as much as I did, I highly recomend trying out “pure musk” from Ayat! The bottle is grey vevet and with gold details. 🤩 I sprayed it on my wrist 4 hours ago and I can still smell it and keep thinking of Chloe intense ❤️

I was really surprised to hear this is based on rose; having sprayed on a vast quantity in store and lived with it for a day, it has immense staying power and a unique fragrance I cannot describe but which is dry, potent, powdery-sweet-but it does not to me come across as particularly floral but as a warm dry intriguing, incensy invocation of something I cannot put my finger on.

Chloé Intense is not really like Chloé Signature EDP. It’s different and quite peppery strong in its opening but settles into a powdery smell which is quite nice. There’s nothing peppery after the initial blast, it’s actually a powdery soapy scent with mildly spicy woody notes.I don’t love it as much as the Original but I like it a lot. Good sillage and lasting power.

So much love for this scent. The reason I don't wear it too often is because of how well it stays on your garments. I like to change fragrances pretty much everyday and sometimes between day and night - so if I wore chloe intense... I would have to just keep wearing chloe intense, which isn't the worst thing XD definitely get a bottle.
