Chloé Rose Edition

This is extremely elegant, refined, dignified to my nose because of how the florals are balanced with the amber and the woods. The sweetness is derived only from the natural sweet of the fresh florals, no added overdone saccharine sweetness, the rose melds beautifully with the magnolia and the lily so that the scent is open and heady without being screechy, high pitched or soapy detergent like. The amber is discreet and not overbearing, adding a touch of sensual grounding without weighing down the florals and smothering them in any way, it warms the scent and keeps it from being icy cold within the floral freshness. The cedar is also restrained and serves to ground everything above without suffocating anything in a hamster cage shaving way. It gives enough complexity without covering any floral freshness. So then that is why I consider the incredible balance achieved in this particular fragrance to make it very refined and graceful and dignified. Nothing is jarring, nothing is shocking or grating or irritating even when smelling a long time through complete dry down.

This version of Chloe is pretty close to the original, it just seemed a tad fresher and more likely to catch the heart of those who didn't fall for Chloe and the intense EDP. Or is this the placebo effect of the pink bow? I usually stray from scents that showcase the rose, but this is actually a very tender wet type of rose surrounded by other buds here and there. The opening is fresh and juicy, I believe there must be some red fruit involved. The middle is deeper, flowery and rosey. I'm amazed by how amber stood out on my skin towards the drydown, but thats what happens when I wear the original. It really adds some serious depth to the scent and rounds out the watery feeling of the floral mid-stage. The aquatic notes are bordering an artificial feeling, but it's barely detectable. This is a potent perfume and the lasting power is very good.I'm starting to like it a lot, because it doesn't have this melancholic vibe of the original version, which I love. A very cheerful fragrance.

This is a very beautiful rose scent. I find it different from the Chloe EDP, which I did not like, and here is why. This rose edition lacks the peony and freesia notes and the litchee of the original Chloe EDP which made it a bit too sweet for me. This one, with just the rose, magnolia, amber and cedar is a lighter, fresher scent that I like very much. I wish it weren't quite so rose-centric since it does make you smell a bit like a bouquet of roses for the first 2 or 3 hours (not necessarily a bad thing) but the other notes come out to play and blend nicely after about 4 hours and it remains a gorgeous fresh ambery rose and magnolia with a soupcon of cedar for the rest of the day. Longevity of this one on my skin is very good. This fragrance lasts a good 8 hours on my skin with some sillage and a nice skin scent thereafter. I still like the Chloe Chloe EDP Intense best of all the Chloe flankers, but this is very lovely as well.

At last I was able to get a bottle of Chloe Rose Edition. I am not disappointed at all. Rose and Magnolia... Magnolia being one of my favorite flowers. I think that rose edition suits me much better than the original Chloe EDP. On my skin Chloe EDP develops a metallic note which highly annoys me. It might be litchi, because I noticed this happened with several fragrances containing litchi. But Chloe Rose Edition is absolutely perfect. It's an everyday fresh, elegant and easy-to-wear fragrance. I think it shares similarities with my beloved Florabotanica, though the latter is a much spicier and original thanks to carnation and mint. Anyway sometimes despised flankers reveal much better than their originals... that's just my humble opinion of course!

There is something quite sweet about this version of Chloe. Although everything pretty much lines up with the Original Eau De Parfum- from the First initial burst of rose to the sweet and faint drydown but there is a sweetness about this scent that makes it quite innocent and feel like its quite young in a sense and i say that because when I smell this I think of innocent girls running through fields of flowers and getting their white cotton dresses dirty. I like the earthy element of this edition although it is essentially the Original scent with a new pretty bow. But I couldnt resist purchasing this edition of Chloe. That bottle is just to beautiful not to have (again)
