Chloé Roses de Chloé

Oh... my beloved is long gone now. My mother just gifted me a 50mL bottle of this a few weeks ago and I must say it is heavenly. I already adored the og signature Chloe but this is, certainly, the best. Imagine a fresh field of roses, soaked in dew as it dries in the sun. Precisely how it smells to me after it dries down. I suppose my generation is very fearful of rosy perfumes, probably due to the heavy stigma of old woman enjoying the smell. Do not mistake this for any dated smell of roses or even cemetery flowers you have smelt in the past. It is entirely *fresh*. The roses smell as though as just harvested, almost as if you crunched a blossom in your hands and the residue remained there for hours still, enveloping you with it's background flowers and musks. In my humble opinion Chloe should not shy away from this fragrance whatsoever, as it pleases both the young and the old costumers of the house. The first because of it's modern spin with the added lemon and green notes at first - smelling youthful and crisp. And as for the second due to it's robust rosy body, an ingredient sure to make the elder swoon because of how refreshingly modern it made such an usual scent feel. Needless to say - it smells just as clean as can be. Highly recommed to those prone to headaches/migraines as it does not smell even the least bit sweet to me. Suitable for the office, a casual date during the day, informal situations of all kinds in both spring and summer alike. Hard to be disliked. RIP. 🎀

Before testing this scent, I was already interested due to the high amount of raves on this perfume, I tested it at a store and I immediately was shocked with joy. This is the best version of a rose, picture an elegant rose that somehow has never touched dirt and smells of the citrus trees near by and you've got Chloe Roses De Chloe. It lingers on you for a while of course and this made me happy because the dry down is absolutely beautiful and natural- almost as if you were not wearing any perfume but were laying down in a field of roses. I am extremely impressed and this will be my next purchase and perhaps my new signature scent. The name somehow makes sense in correlation to the scent- I can see a Chloe wearing this, a very elegant lady. The bottle itself reminds me of another dear scent that i recently purchased which is My Burberry Blush, since they both have ribbons on the bottle. You will definitely get compliments wearing this and I can see any age wearing this. Whoever designed the scent (I believe the famous Karl Lagerfeld) put a lot of thoughts to this extravagantly delicate yet powerful scent, It is youthful but not childish. It is femininity in a bottle. Update: I have ordered it and am very excited :)

This fragrance has been with me since 2014. I wore it for my wedding that September. It felt like me, fresh, romantic, full of light. I’ve bought it again and again. It’s one of those perfumes I always want around, especially in the warmer months. The lychee at the start is juicy, almost watery. So transparent, it feels like biting into fruit straight from the fridge. But blink, and it’s gone. The real story here is the rose. 🌸 Not just any rose. This one is pink, soft, just blooming. Young but elegant. Clean, airy, and full of grace. It doesn’t try hard, and that’s exactly why it works. It’s not powdery, not overly sweet. Just... beautiful. There’s something about it that feels innocent. But not naïve. It’s polished. Feminine. Refined. The kind of scent that leaves an impression without ever shouting. I’ve smelled dozens — maybe hundreds — of rose perfumes. Now, the downside: it vanishes fast. Two hours, maybe. It doesn’t cling. It’s a whisper. I wish it stayed longer. But maybe that’s part of its charm — like fresh flowers that fade, but you remember them anyway. What can I say? It made me feel like myself. Clean. Loved. Romantic.

I love the current Chloe line. Each fragrance represents different facets of rose and emphasises them. Unfortunately I’m slightly anosmic to the other offerings (L’Eau and Fleur) and this is the best alongside Chloe EDP. All the fragrances are along a similar theme and I have to say this is such a pretty soft rose. The opening is possibly a little too on the tart citrusy side for me but the dry down is absolutely to die for. I would love this to layer with Chloe EDP I think and I will purchase this fragrance soon. It’s not too soapy or powdery but just perfect with the mild fruitiness. Gorgeous. I would not compare to Sisley Izia or Paul Smith Rose as Izia is much soapier, dryer and less sweet/soft and Paul Smith is much sharper and more tart. Izia is a very different kind of fragrance as Sisley has a very distinct sort of style and Paul Smith is a very linear sort of rose. This is soft and cosy and pretty and I wish it came in a bigger size... to be honest would not compare this with any other rose fragrance as this has very distinctive Chloe DNA and is not at all similar to other rose fragrances I have tried.

I absolutely adore this fragrance. I just wish it performed as well in warm weather as it did in the cold. The first time I wore it the weather was still cold outside and it had great longevity and silage. I could smell it most of the day. Today I wore it for the second time and for some reason it was gone within an hour. It wasn’t even a skin scent. I did my usual amount of spraying and in the beginning it was so intense my friend jokingly asked if I bathe myself in it. Within an hour neither she nor I could smell it. I'm beginning to wonder if this is one of those scents that doesn't work well in all seasons. That would be a bummer because the warm season is why I bought it. As for the purchase I know it's not a fake because I bought it from a reputable department store. Anyone else have the same issue I'm having? I don't think the bottle is bad ether because as I stated earlier I could smell it fine in the cold weather. I don’t know what to make of this. It is really strange and upsetting because this wasn’t a cheap perfume. I’ll just have to try it again on another warm day and see if it happens again.
