L'Eau de Chloe

I absolutely love this and I'm gutted its been discontinued, especially because it was discontinued before I managed to buy a bottle, but I got lucky and bought a 50ml bottle from a department store clearance. As a daily wearer of Chloe EdT, (Its not my signature but really it should be, thats how often I wear it) I wear it for the very clean, fresh, scrubbed and well-groomed feel it has, I have worn it in the summer but sometimes it can be a bit too floral/cottony which is where L'eau de Chloe comes in! L'eau de Chloe is just, wow, it smells like amazing soap and lemonade, sounds odd but it works. The original Chloe DNA is very prominent in it, but there is some extra soapiness/linen type notes in this, it also has a very persistent lemonade type nuance which runs through all the stages of this, from opening all the way to the dry down, the opening does smell vintage-ish, but it doesn't smell near as vintage as I thought it would with the colour being such a strong shade of, what I'd call 1960's-1970's green, and I think thats the other thing I love about this is how pretty and vintage it looks. I'll be wearing and enjoying this one thoroughly during the warmer months, I would say I'd repurchase but I can't repurchase this one without great difficulty and expense, but its nice to say that I've had it and I enjoyed it, rather than be wishing I had the chance to try it and own it. I'll be trying the new Chloe L'eau which replaced this one, who knows, I may even love that one as much as I love the EdT and this one!

<3 <3 I love L'Eau De Chloe! To describe how it smells to me, I think it almost has the exact scent as the original Chloe Eau De Parfum, but A LOT lighter. When I first tested out Chloe EDP, I liked the scent, but there was too much for me, and I didn't think I could safely wear it for most occasions (I'm not a big perfume person). So I had to pass up on it. But then there came l'eau de chloe! Unlike the original, this one is so light and airy. I hardly smelled a thing when i first sprayed it, but once it touched my skin, magic started to happen. In about 5 minutes, I smelled an earthy citrus note. A little bit harsh, but that died immediately in the next 10 minutes. And in less than 30 minutes, what was left on my skin was just a very soft, sweet, rosy scent much like the chloe EDP. Despite how light and soft it was, the scent soon penetrated through my clothes, and put me in a beautiful aura. It seemed to me that my blood flow was giving it constant momentum. Very amazing sillage for a perfume that is so light! And I could still smell it on my after 8 hours. It is a very quiet and intimate scent. I like to spray it all over my body in the morning without worrying and really enjoy the "shower" of freshness. It is one of those scents that will make other people wonder if you're actually wearing perfume, but they will for sure notice that you smell AMAZING! <3 <3 This is signature worthy! I give it 10/10. :)

I hear how classy and romantic house of Chloe is. Today I decided to try this as well as Love Story that I both liked. Let's stay to L'Eau. When I first sprayed, my senses woke up! I said yeah, finally something different and good enough to impress me. Bottle is really nice, green details and juice. I have to admit that my first though was: "Too bad I never smelled Miss Dior Cherie L'eau but who cares after smelling L'eau by Chloe?" All in all, I just adore it. I am 99% sure that there must be a Chloe signature scent for me and why not L'eau? Trust me, I hate when people comparing perfumes but L'eau reminds me so much of Nina Ricci-L'extase! It's not bad, but L'eau is better to my nose. I dislike rose but this sweet lokum-like rose is amazing, bright citrus tones that are so well and sweet again. I won't talk much for the rest tones that are so many but so well mixed. The perfumer deserves congratulations. A perfume for work, for meeting friends, for whatever cosy, friendly and at the same time romantic comes in your mind. So original and so bold. L'(eau) V E it! <3 p.s: Although I think it's my favorite from Chloe, I have a feeling I'll fall from another one. Why? In general and in testing paper it smells lovely but on skin, it gives a feeling of a soapy perfume. Ok, tell us something new you will say about Chloe perfumes, but this one it's like freedom. I will run to test more from Chloe <3

L'eau de Chloe is wildly beautiful with a heart of rose. I imagine L'eau de Chloe to be a nature-loving, runaway princess with a past much like that of princess Chloe EDP (if Chloe EDP broke free of her regal fate). This is my favorite fragrance. The notes smell so fresh and this is my favorite rose. I find it to be freeing and grounding all at once. L'eau de Chloe starts out very citrusy, like frozen lemonade but I can also smell the fresh green patchouli. The patchouli smells like it's been freshly cut at its greenest, most vibrant point in it's growth. When the citrusy notes settle down, they reveal the rose bellow. This is the heart of the fragrance. The song of Chloe. Chloe rose perfumes already feature the quality rose notes but here there is the poignant addition of rosewater to this fragrance—the outcome is so soft, yet so authentic that it strikes an poetic cord with me. When the rose fades, I am left with the soft green garden of patchouli and a faint echo of the notes that have come before. Though I have come to know it well, I feel that there are always newfound meanings and beautiful visions to bring forth from within the simple, yet ever-spirited melody of L'eau de Chloe.

Having read all the other reviews I am left wondering, what are some of you thinking of ! Anyway.....I have perfume collection mania....in search of that perfume that I can say IS my signature. I think this may be it. I have fell in love so many times, flirted with so very many, loved and then lost that special feeling. I was not looking for another perfume. I was not expecting anything to hit me like this. On passing the display I had a little spritz. Emmm, wow, this is it, I am sure it is. I have never been bowled over like this. You know when it is real love, not being in love with the notion of being in love! I have not wanted the original ever! as it was not for me. But now this one is very special. Clean yes, green a bit, Roses a hint, Patchouli oh yes but light and fresh. This is not for the younger 'girl' , no this is for a woman, a woman who knows her own mind and is not lead by the groupies. Individual, sweet natured, strong and good fum! who cares what it is called and if it is a spin off...after all, are we not all a spin off our parents! is anything truly original?
