Chloé L'Eau de Parfum Intense (2024)

Chloé being THE fragrance of my teen years, one of my go-to and classic, my dose of serotine with every spritz, I watch every new flanker, and as soon as I saw an intense version was launched, I ran to Sephora, and course "add to cart" when I got home. This intense version is a beautiful autumnal and/or nocturnal interpretation; it's the DNA of the OG, but it is woodier and warmer. Thanks to the raspberry, it's also less fresh and a little sweeter. I don't perceive it exactly, but I perceive a gentler change from the original. Intense is softer, rounder, and warmer, and I think the Cashmeran must play something. Nevertheless, the wow factor isn't there, I prefer to be honest, but it's a good perfume. The strong point is that it retains the DNA of the rose, which is so elegant, delicate, French and caressing. A must-have? To be discussed. The OG is, for me, a pillar of the industry and, above all, dear to my heart; I'm perhaps being picky. Let's say it's a more appropriate version for cold days or nights. The OG already held up very well; this one, too, holds up just as well over time, much more on clothes but it projects less. I can’t imagine how someone can go wrong with this one; as its less “sharp”, “detergent” than the OG, and it remains versatile and safe. This fragrance will reassure all OG lovers like me and will likely win over some of those who resist to the OG - those who find it sharp or detergent like. Either way, you'll make a good impression - it's elegantly simple and efficient. I will describe it as a 7,5/10. I won't really comment on the change of bottle since, as you may have guessed, I prefer everything from the OG, bottle included, especially with the metal part - which has disappeared from the new OG bottles too, probably to make them refillable. But the color of the ribbon and the juice confirm my impressions that this fragrance is ideal for autumn.

Surprisingly strong, given the fact that nowadays even an "intense" version of anything is still light. It has very good silage and lasts for days on clothes. Despite the raspberry note, it doesn't have much sweetness. Somehow, I thought it would be sweet, because of the fruit, but I was wrong. The bottle is similar to other Chloe, but it has a dark ruby red ribbon. It comes in 100ml, and I don't think the other other versions came in a bit bottle like this. It is somewhat similar to the original, but with less rose and more woods and musk; it has something that rubs me the wrong way after a while - it could just be the length of the perfume, I usually like to change my perfume mid day, and this is not possible with this unless you take a shower and change all your clothes. I think I prefer other versions of Chloe. Still , it is a very beautiful and elegant perfume. I might swap this, I have a 100 ml bottle just purchased from the Beauty Boutique at Shoppers, if anyone wants it. I fell in love with it in the store, but somehow I keep going back to Delina and the Chloe Roses nowadays; plus, I thought it would be a remake of the Chloé Intense the original one, with black ribbon, long discontinued, but sadly it's not, it's a new perfume.

Chloe Intense is the most beautiful fragrance I’ve encountered from a designer in a hot minute. Most designer perfumes these days seem to fall into one of two camps: overwhelmingly loud or underwhelmingly forgettable. Many start to smell like variations of the same theme and lack depth. But Chloe Intense breaks free from the monotony with a distinct softness and warmth that feels entirely its own (at least in the designer world). This fragrance is a testament that perfumery isn’t about piling on an endless list of notes. Instead, it’s about intention and vision. Chloe Intense feels like it was intended to capture the essence of a rose garden during golden hour. Romantic, serene, warm, and elegant. The composition is simple but masterfully done. Fresh velvety rose at the opening, wrapped in an amber-like warmth that gives it depth without being too heavy. As it settles, the florals remain the heart of the scent, but they’re supported by a delicate musk and a touch of sweetness that’s perfectly balanced. It’s not cloying or synthetic sweet, but just enough to feel inviting and comforting.

This perfume is simply gorgeous, and judging by the reviews (or lack thereof) severely underrated. This smells like someone who has their life together. In fact, that's why I bought it. I needed a scent that would inspire confidence and remind me of the woman I wish to be. It smells expensive, feminine, lovely. Like someone who can be soft and strong at the same time. This has become my new signature scent, combined with L'Occitane almond products - they blend together beautifully. When first sprayed, it is a little bit sharp. But it settles down quickly into a beautiful raspberry rose, and over the next few hours it gets this rounded softness, like the vibe of vanilla, while definitely not smelling like it (maybe that's the cashmeran I'm smelling). Chloe L'eau Intense reminds me of Rose Jam by LUSH, but a sophisticated version, and much more dimensional and soft. Also, it is quite different from the regular (not "Intense") version of Chloe L'eau. I sprayed them both on me, and the regular one had a leathery masculine note that I did not like.

Chloe L’eau de Parfum Intense 2024 is a beautiful, warm, powdery, musky, soft blend of dark, rich rose and an overripe, sweet, velvety raspberry. It’s really nice, delicious and has more depth than the OG Chloe launched twenty years ago, but I still love the original Chloe better! I think it’s worth sampling it if you’re looking into buying a fall rose perfume, it’s really gorgeous and a very mass appealing scent. For me, personally, it’s not bringing much to my collection to tempt me right now even with a small bottle. Until I finish some other rose forward scents that I have already bought, I’m good. Then I wouldn’t say no to Chloe EDP Intense 2024. I really like it a lot! And unfortunately it’s not even that intense. As far as performance goes in my opinion it’s just a normal EDP concentration, nothing intense! For this reason l’d consider Chloe EDP Intense slightly overpriced.
