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.

My boyfriend picked this parfum for me and I bought it day after our marriage. And it became my signature scent. I love the sandalwood rose with a hint of pink pepper. It is so full and rich and expensive. Luxury in the bottle. I wish they would make a real parfum out of it. I would purchase in that very second. For me it's 10/10.

I kinda thrifted this gem. It’s Chloe signature’s older and wiser sister. The pink pepper note is too prominent at first spray for my liking but it develops as a such a perfect creamy rose scent. Also sillage is hands down the best among the signature line. When you walk it leaves a beautiful rose trail after you.

I own both Chloe EDP and Chloe Intense and i love both. But I think i love this a little bit more. The Chloe rose with soft pepper and woody tones. It's very feminine, classy and warm. Good projection and longevity. Why is this discontinued? Have to stock up fast.

I love Chloe edp, edt but Chloe Intense it's my favorite one !❤ pitty I can't find it anymore in stores ☹ I don't buy fragrances on line bcz of the fakes so....i'll keep searching for it !

One of the freshest fragrances I have ever smelled. Amazingly clean, fresh, feminine and lovely silage and longevity. Glad Chloe finally got it right. They nailed it with this one.

has it been discountinued???! Cause no shops seem to have it anymore. What a disapointment - Chloe seems to kill off all good perfumes they make (like Innocence).

I absolutly love the Chloe Intense, yes def a rose smell, and i find the staying power super, have been asked so many times about it.

This is my favorite winter perfum ever!! Its perfect! I cant stop myself smelling it...really adictive. And it lasts decades...;D

Why why why is this discontinued. I don't understand. Is it possible to bring it back??????? P L E A S E ! ! !

Oh dear I am not sure !!!!! I just want to know that it is discountinued or not ???? It can be found very hard

A soft powdery giddy peach-rose scent. For laid back romantic sunny days with a soft breeze.

So in love with this soapy scent, no much flowers and no fruits, pure warm.

Hi! I have a brand new 1.7oz bottle with box for sell. PM me if interested.

It is still on Chloe's website, but in shops can't be found in Hungary.

Is it really being discoutinued? Somebody please tell me.

We need a dupe for this one 😭😭😭so freakin classy!!

Sooo clean and classy. One of the best perfumes

My signature perfume. lovely and elegant.

Smells so beautiful and classy! Gorgeous!

Is it discontinued? I love it so much

I got Chloe Intense as part of a bundle (along with L'Eau de Chloe), which I bought because the seller was destashing and selling really low. I normally dislike rose scents, the old-lady type of roses. Granted, I'm not really familiar with many rose fragrances, but whatever impression I had must have come from an unfortunate encounter with some rose scent of the type I mentioned. Anyway, I was intrigued enough by Chloe's popularity that I decided to blind buy the bundle (I was getting a third perfume at half price along with it, something I was really keen on blind buying), even though it didn't include the classic Chloe EDP or EDT. I'd read up the notes and reviews here on Fragrantica, and thought they sounded interesting anyway. Well, in spite of reading up first, I wasn't ready for the opening. Chloe Intense hit me harshly with an initial blast of pepper that almost physically hurt my nose. That was the greatest first impression it made on me when I tried it on my arm. It softened up later, but all I could remember from that time was the pepper. The only reason I didn't really regret getting it was because it was so cheap and came with L'Eau de Chloe (which I discovered I rather liked). But remembering that it had a softer, less offensive dry down, I decided to use it today. (I would give almost any fragrance I acquire a chance and use it at least a full day or give it several hours' use.) Remembering the intense peppery opening, I applied a bit of Lush All Good Things solid perfume on my inner arms for just a touch of smoky sweetness. Then I sprayed on Chloe Intense. As I sniffed it more closely and fully this time, I still got a peppery blast, but now I could detect a powdery rose underneath. It was not the old-lady rose I was wary of. It's still a strong opening; I agree with heather.h.weber about avoiding spraying so close to the face when trying it out. I still don't like that part so much, but the dry-down was better. It got smoother and woodier, and I found it quite soapy and clean. However, while pleasant enough for me, it is still not really my type of scent. I could wear it occasionally, but I can't imagine reaching for this nearly as much as my other perfumes. It still isn't the rose for me.

I don't have chloe edp,so I can't make a comparison between these two Chloe intense is a must have for all lovers of classic rose fragrances,it doesn't have dozens of notes as most of classics do but it has a complexity and class that brings a classic to mind It's a heavy,heady rose,not a fresh and delicate one,it's mature,bold,almost dark and kind of old-fashioned rose blended with great amount of pepper,it's so peppery that makes my nose tinkle..I can't detect too much sandal or Tonka but for sure this peppery rose,lays on a strong,bittersweet woodsy base..as time passes there is less pepper and more balmy rose,which dries down to a quiet,soapy rose at the end I don't know what's my feeling about it,I find it seductive and I love it's classic elegance but I find it too mature for me..it's not something I wear often but rarely I reach for it and love it,it's very charming in cold temperature and is definitely a winter scent for me Longevity and sillage are amazing on my skin..just two sprays and it's well projecting even after hours ❤❤❤

I quite liked this one at first spray - different from the other two Chloé perfumes ! (EDT and EDP). Well, this was the impression that I had when I tested it for the first time : I remember the Chloé rose, but it was somehow darker, the pepper was fizzy, and the backdrop was a smooth wood. So I semi-blind bought just now, several months later. The first spray is true to my memory, a peppery woody rose, a cousin to La Fille de Berlin by Serge Lutens. But within the hour, the pepper and woods evaporate, and leaves the signature Chloé EDP smell for the next 12+ hours...(still counting) Overall, I still like it - I've always liked the Chloé rose: bright, soapy, leaves a distinct trail. I just never got it because everyone and their teenage daughter has and wears it too. Disappointed that the first unique burst doesn't last, but this will be getting a lot of wear nonetheless - layering and lazy happy tea-and-a-book days.

I really wished I had stock up on it when it was still available on the grey market. It's a very special scent that defined my late 20s and grew my interest for other fragrance notes beyond just floral or roses. If more people had given it a chance to let it develop, you'll find that the initial mature and somewhat ageing rose opening slowly fades away and reveal a warming spiced honey tone. It has some similarity to the original EDP, but the Intense version has more special and exceptional quality to it, that I've yet seen it replicated in other fragrances. It's definitely a scent that wears better during the colder temperature or at night. In hotter climate, I find that it sometimes turns a little acidic on my body. I have a very old 50ml bottle that is half used; the metal part of the perfume body was already tarnished beyond repair but i cherish it more than anything in my closet.

The intense version is a completely different thing from the EDP. Gone is the rose bush sprinkled with raindrops amid the green garden. First, the sillage of Intense is a bit more reserved, or so it seems until it seamlessly deploys its balmy notes. The rose - a powdery deep dark old-fashioned one, enters the stage through a warm veil of pepper. As time goes, the rose becomes quiet and makes place for tonka and I can definitely smell the sandalwood. The pepper persists in a more delicate warm way. There is something very classic and mature about this scent, a bit gothic even. I like it but I prefer by far the freshness of the EDP. I also think they went wrong with the black ribbon - it makes me think of mourning. A dark red one would be much better and still adequate to this dramatic fragrance.

It smells like Chloe laced with lots and lots of pepper. And it smells like ordinary pepper from the dinner table. I will leave it to dry and see what happens. UPDATE: The pepper fades after about half an hour and you are left with a rose that reminds me of old school beauty products from the 80s (face cream). It's a juicy, jammy, almost edible rose that's a little bit spicy. I personally like it now that the pepper has gone away. It smells very expensive and makes me feel affluent and glamorous. I will provide a further update once I have worn this all over for one day. UPDATE: I have now worn it all over for one day and the sillage is moderate along with the lasting power.

More Mature than Chloe EdP! Darker Roses, Darker Sandalwood, deepwarm Peppernote and a hint of Tonka. A Little bit less powdery than Chloe EdP in a good way. Longlasting on my skin. Unsweet flowernote - this is for a grown-up woman, who knows what she wants and used to be in the middle of everything, Chloe Eau de Parfum Intense is not shy =). Mer vuxen än Chloe EdP. Mörkare Ros, Mörkare Sandeltränot, djupvarm Pepparnot och en aning om tonka. Lite mindre pudrig än Chloe EdP, vilket jag gillar. Hållbar på min hud. Osöt blomnot, detta är en doft för den vuxna kvinnan, som vet vad hon vill och är van att vara mittpunkten överallt. Chloe Eau de Parfun Intense är inte blyg =).

I have not been so intrigued by a perfume since 1992 when I first smelt Red Door... Chloe Intense is one of those that has staying power! I tried some yesterday on my hand/wrist, and it just stayed on forever, its notes changing over the hours that went by! The lovely comments i received upon wearing this new perfume was great! Its awfully costly, but well worth the investment as i dont see it as the type of perfume to wear everyday to the office, but its perfect for evening wear or very special occassions. Will definately be getting a bottle soon! And the bottle is just the cutest thing ever!! :-)

1.Long lasting - whole day, not in your face but just right. Very femenin fragrance. 2.Powder(ish), smoky and elegand. Makes you feel like a rich lady :) Red bag from Michal Kors, red lipstick and a good manicure, along with this beautiful fragrance - it will make your day perfect! 3.I get complements on this one all the time :)

This one is very similar to the original Chloe, but for some reason I like the original better. It's a little stronger and I seem to prefer lighter scents in general. I can sense sandalwood and pepper in it, besides rose. Nice, fashionable and modern perfume in a cute bottle.
