Chloé Eau de Toilette (2015)

I'm pleasantly surprised by Chloe EDT, although I don't remember the original one, so I'm coming clean to this experience. On my skin, it starts as a clean, airy, subtly fruity scent, reminding me of a good refreshing shower. It is more fresh than sweet, not pungent at all: a dreamy white floral with a hint of sweet citruses. I find that it develops beautifully in the floral part, as it stays clean, subtly powdery and sweet. It's feminine in a classy and elegant way. It stays clean through the whole experience and it just goes a bit deeper in the drydown, I love that it lacks woody notes, so I can enjoy musky flowers for hours. I would say that this is a grown up but still young at heart fragrance. Perfect for everyday, absolutely professional, since it is absolutely feminine without being flirty. Differently from many experiences, I don't think I would have enjoyed this in my teen years, as it is too serious and balanced for the turbolence of those times, when I was only wearing gourmand coffe / coconut / honey vanillas all year round. This is a passepartout scent for a woman that needs a one-fits-all-events fragrance, but I would also keep an alternative in my closet for some special occasions. Absolutely full bottle and signature worthy.

I have just deleted my previous review, after trying Chloe EDT for a week, my opinions on the scent have definitely changed. Chloe EDT opens on my skin with a blast of soapy/detergenty freshness (I get that some people don't care much for that sort of thing, but I really love it) which gives it a kind of out of the shower clean cotton t-shirt type feel. Once it dries down, some of the florals and woods come out, I mainly detect rose and a bit of magnolia laying on a smooth base of cedar, I know its not a note listed, but I can honestly smell it. The overall impression I get with this perfume is fresh linens that were washed in a nice detergent and fabric conditioner, dried on the washing line in the sun, ironed and put away in a cedar blanket box, I really really love this, I love it a lot more than I did when I first purchased it. For an EDT the longevity and silage are both pretty decent, I sprayed myself this morning at 9 AM, its almost 3PM and its still going strong, and everywhere I walk, I can smell Chloe surrounding me in this wonderful, comforting and clean aura. Simply sublime <3

I really like this one - it's a bit confusing at first but then the smell of cotton really sets in. It's sweet, but childish and innoccent - a little girl's scent, cosy and feminine. Lasts a long time on my skin, which is quite rare in a perfume. This is also a problem for me- even after I've taken a shower, even after a night's sleep, I can still smell it on my skin, and I like to wear a different perfume everyday so the scents get mixed and it becomes too confusing. Also, I only recently purchased it but I think this scent is probably too hot for Summer - it's more of a Winter/Spring fragance.

I’m so sad that this is discontinued. I used to wear this daily as my signature scent. It’s the most beautiful and delicate rose. It’s VERY similar to the EDP (which is now my signature) but the added lemon adds a little bit more zing and freshness and the rose is slightly more watery which overall makes it more delicate. Like with all the Chloé perfumes, the bottle is so beautiful, if this ever came back I would definitely repurchase it.

I spritzed some of this on my wrist as I was going through the duty free shop in Mexico. It settled into a really pretty clean rose after several hours in terminals and planes. Even after landing in sub-zero weather, I could still smell it but close to the wrist only. It has an uplifting quality that came in handy in late Winter. It's not your Grandmother's rose. It's too synthetic for that.
