Chloé Innocence

21. January 2011 I had it and want to buy it again! This is very fresh and perfect for spring-summer! I don ́t remember any rose scent in it so was really surprised to read that. For me it was like "forset-during-the-rain-on-a-chilly-spring-day" fragrance. Maybe i am wrong.... Will write more as soon as i buy this one. As for the Bottle i found it very strange also, but matte glass made it look mysterious, like steamy window. Now since i have bought a 50 and 100 ml bottles for my collection and tested it once again i must say that this fragrance is a fragrance of a body mousturizing cream indeed! Very creamy and fresh gives you the feeling like you just had shower and have creamed yourself. Very innocent indeed! Not that it will be my favorite now, but it is quite nice fragrance and i will use it definitly when i get tired of all my heavy spicy oriental scents to comfort myself. UPDATE! Ladies, if you ́re willing to try or get this and don ́t want to pay insane price for it, then try Shiseido ́s "Energizig fragrance". This one is a complete copy of "Chloe innocence"!!! Almost identical, i couldn ́t belive my nose when i tested it wearing "Chloe innocence"! Just a bit more citrus in Shiseido, but overall is THE SAME! Try it and see for yourself!

Chloe' Innocence, hailed by Susan Irvine as one of the unjusty unsung perfumes of its generation, is like a forest fairy flitting through an English lake at dawn. Mysterious, ethereal, touching the surface of the water with her feet, making water hyacinths appear in her wake. Misty, innocent, romantic perfume like its name. Made just at the time when Stella McCartney was about to replace Karl Lagerfeld at Chloe', this perfume was probably badly advertised as it was made at a time of change for the staid house of Chloe', which certainly had other fish to fry. And yet this fairy-like perfume with the extraterrestrial/minimalist frosted bottle should have been a classic of the aquatic floral green genre. Find it if you can, and collect the different shape bottles it comes in for every flacon. Beware this perfume tends to spoil if it's left in the light even a little bit.

To me Chloe Innocence was truly special, and i've yet to find a perfume that captured my heart the way this did. I loved it from the moment i smelt it at the counter, this was some years ago now and i was so sad they stopped making it as despite using lots of other perfumes over the years so far i have not found something that i love as much to call my signature scent. A haunting fragrance that stays with you for a long time, beautiful with an almost dreamlike ethereal quality i found it to be both clean, light and pure as well sensual and seductive. I loved the innocent pure floral notes that were made so sensual by something magical woody and intoxicating. A timeless scent i just adore.

Okay so Chloe Innocence is truly an innocent fragrance with the floral and greens as the most dominant scent. The opening is all about the freshness of water hyacinth and bergamot while the heart possesses the sweetness of honeysuckle and floral vibes of jasmine, rose and violet. Heading to the dry down, you will smell more of vetiver, cedar, and musk. I still have half the bottle in my collection and I am so disappointed due to the fact that this amazing one is discontinued. This was a seriously amazing fragrance, it is beautiful, fresh and strong with the superb longevity. Saving it for special occasions and the days when I need specific, positive energy. Timeless fragrance! Miss you!

I rarely find a perfume that sings to me, that I fall in love with. that I say "this is the one". I do feel all of that and more with Chloe Innosence. It's a fairy smell, spelbounding, weightless.. The calm of the lake in the middle of nowhere only with dragonflies to keep it company. A smell of freedom. I can't help it :) I could bath in it. On another hand, it could be, that I simply adore the smell of water hyacinth. I never had another fragrance with such a prominent note of this beautiful flower. All in all this is a stunning fragrance, one that I keep buying no matter the cost.
