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?

Ok, this flanker is different from all the other Chloe versions and in my opinion this should be a whole distinct perfume. Not sure why it is discontinued, but it is absolutely amazing and made it my top 5! I smell aldehydes, but crafted in a modern DNA, maybe if I were to compare it, somehow it reminds me of a softer, fresher and brighter Chanel 5 Eau Premiere (which I love). Hopefully I do not mislead anybody with my review, but this is by no means an old fashion scent, but a classy one that could fit any elegant lady over 25. The opening is quite classic and within 20 min this turns in a wonderful creamy, musky, floral on my skin. It is a day perfume and contrary of the name L'Eau, I do not find it citrusy and wearable in the summer heat, but more adequate on a spring or fall day. I received compliments from people who would never say anything about my scents. If you wear it, you will stand out and feel special as probably nobody in the room will not know what you're wearing and a lot will be wondering what it is:)

After falling in complete love for this fragrance via a sample , a very lovely member gifted a bottle of this scent to me. :D To me , an extremely green and fresh patchouli, ( as if a patchouli leaf was pinched while still growing on the plant itself ) earthy and alive - not a deep incense-y herbal whatsoever. The rose is spicy , equally as the patchouli, more of a living rose. I detect lime, verbena, a faint touch of lemon. Natural, not synthetic. I adore this combination. I will definitely be wearing L'Eau de Chloe all of the warm months and into the fall . Probably winter months as well ;) It has class and is elegant, but not above being able to wear casually. Edit : This does go on very strong, on me. I go lightly with my spritz. The longevity for me has been 10+ hours. I have worn all day at work ( up to a 10 hour work day and had applied a half hour before leaving the house ) , and once to bed. I could detect it, and was surrounded be the fragrance the entire time. I am not sure how far the sillage had reached.

On my skin it definitely lasts longer - not sure where the complaints come from. I sprayed it on about two hours ago and it's still going strong. It's distinctly Chloe, something else I don't understand about the other reviews. I've been wearing the Chloe Eau de Parfum for a while now, and at first thought it was what I was smelling on my watch, until I realised it's L'eau de Chloe... It becomes different as it develops though, with the citrus accord taking the lead, where both rose and lychee are more distinct in Chloe Eau de Parfum. To me the character of L'eau de Chloe is fresher, younger, more summery than the Chloe Eau de Parfum version. I would recommend it to the 30 year and younger age group. It's true what someone else here said - there's a slight (very slight) similarity with Chanel No 19. Incidentally I tested both today, but I prefer Chloe by far. Chanel perfumes generally have a too clean, too perfect, slightly cold, distant feel to me. Not this. Love Chloe. Pure class, pure femininity.

On 1st spray, it has a menthol smell, reminiscent of citrus cough drops. Thankfully, it changes very quickly. Within a minute, the rose and patchouli starts coming through, followed by amber. It reminds me of spring, when you look outside and realize that finally, the cold is going away, the sun is not too hot and the flowers are beginning to bloom. The dry down is very comforting and I am not sure why. The violet is very shy. It reminds me of sitting in my grandma's sun room at the end of a newly spring day, relaxing with the satisfaction that the day has been good. The patchouli is prominent the entire time for me. I am not a big fan of citrus or fresh scents, but because of the patchouli, I like this one a lot. EDIT- Sillage is very low, and I wish it was higher. This is coming from someone who prefers skin scents... I can only smell if I sniff 1-2inches from my skin with multiple sprays in the same spot!

At first sniff, i thought this is not about what i'm thinking at all. it's green and too green for me. i haven't smell any fruit and flower in the notes at all, i hate this so i've voted dislike to it. Even i try it for few times, the result still same. So i gave it to my mom, she's very love it and told me to buy full bottle for her birthday in next couple months.( i got 5 ml. decant ) After that, today, i decided to try it again ( i wonder why my mom so love it, in fact ) The result is : I like it, very like it. It's fresh but not like floral or fruity at all. It's still green in their way that make me feel fresh, like a kind of cooling powder with fresh patchouli. I still wonder where all the flower such as jasmine and freesia gone? i haven't felt to it. But i really like it now. Scent like no other. great for a hot summer day. may be in next couple months, there are 2 full bottles of this in my house.

I have tried and enjoyed many of this house's perfumes, but this L'eau reaches a whole 'nother level of appreciation. All the notes are so well balanced, like an elegant symphony of scents working together perfectly to make a delicately earthy, fresh, scent which leaves a drydown reminiscent of soap, but delicious luxury soap, not cheap hotel soap. It strikes that rare but beautiful perfume balance of being noticeable without any risk of being overbearing. Lasts at least 6-8 hours on me, but stays close to the skin, which I cannot stop sniffing. I am besotted by this perfume and love spraying a little on before I go to bed. My summer nightgowns all smell delicious and I catch the scent on my sleep-warmed skin whenever I pause in my night's sweet slumbers, which is often because I have insomnia, but that's another story...:-D

I really do love Chloe, so this one was logical choice. To me, they are so alike, but different character. L'Eau de Chloe is more fresh and crispy with touch of citrus, but in the same time keeps that soapy luxury gentle powdery feeling. I was wondering if there is a sense of having both of them, but I simply couldn't gave up neither. For me they are just perfect, with good longevity and silage, worth of every penny. I am not a big fun of rose notes and happy to say, can not feel it here. But all notes are so well balanced and can not highlight any of them, nothing stands out, nothing loud. It is safe office scent and also great for dinner time out. Warm in winter and gentle in summer, simply all year around for all occasions. I think if it is labeled with Chanel brand, it would get higher rating.

I find this to be an almost challenging perfume. It is so unlike anything else I have. After the first spray it is ridiculously green for a long time, probably at least 2 hours on my skin. Quite sharp, green cut vegetation, freshly felled trees and earth is all I get, no roses and definitely nothing sweet. It's also more fresh spicy than warm spicy. The green softens slowly and other notes become noticeable, I start sensing green cut roses somewhere in the background and wonderful earthy notes. The woody roses slowly move to the fore over the next few hours. After about 8 hours the green has totally softened and the lightly sweet and woody rose has now become the star. Definitely not a boring perfume, at least with my chemistry. Silage is close and longevity is very good.

I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS SCENT. It is my favorite of all the Chloe perfumes (I love all of them, though). To me, this screams rose water - a very natural, delicate scent. The citrus brightens up the rose water, and the patchouli deepens it. The end result is a deliciously sunny and elegant scent, something that reminds me of tea roses, lemonade, soap, clean linens, and outdoor greenery. Fortunately on me this scent lasts all day, even if it stays close to the skin. I have a feeling I am going to wear this every day for a long time because this scent makes me so happy. I am surprised by how this smells absolutely nothing like Chloe EDP. If they didn't have the same bottle design I would not have thought this was a flanker, but its own scent.

Very Green, fresh, sweet, awake, happy, sunny and rosy! Citrus, roses, patchouli, and fruit makes such a lovely combination that reminds me of green melons like honeydew and such. I did see others mention this as room spray/freshener, which is funny because I love to spray it not just on myself but also on clothes, sheets, rooms, everything! I have also the body wash of L'eau Chloe and I wish there was a candle or room oil version! But I dont find that it is truly "room spray" scent. The L'eau is an easy, not heavy or offensive, fresh, juicy and feminine scent that I adore so much that I would like to have everything smell like it. When I smell this, I immediately wish for dresses, sandals, mojitos, sunshine and light breezes.

What an absolute joy this one is to wear! It's so pretty and very easy to wear - light, fresh, crisp but with surprising sensuality and longevity to boot. This is very "Rose-y" but not in an overly sweet or powdery way, tempered as it is by the zingy grapefruit and other citrus notes. It's a perfect springtime day scent. This sadly, along with Love Chloe, is another masterpiece that Chloe seem determined to delist and replace with something massively inferior, derivative and wholly unoriginal (looking at Love Story and Nomade in particular). Why do they keep making fragrances I love and then taking them away from me! I always keep my eyes peeled for bottles on eBay and other retailers in hope of a back-up bargain though!

I was surprised to see that this perfume contained rose and patchouli. Michel Almairac has done an amazing job combining the notes in such a way so that the patchouli and rose are NOT synthetic, cheap and old lady like. This scent is very distinct and long lasting. 1 hr after washing it off I can still smell it. Impressions of the perfume: spring, fresh, happy, sunshine, new clothes. My skin type: oily / youthful Office safe: yes Projection: arm's length Timing: Anytime of the year / day time Price: $82 for 50ml / 1.69 oz at Shopper's Drug Mart Disclamer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, the season, and my personal tastes

I got this as a blind buy but when I tried it, it wasn't an instant hit with me. I thought, it's pretty nice and left it at that. The more and more I use it though, I really am starting to love it. It reminds me a little of Chanel no 19 but soapier, cleaner somehow if that's possible. For days I just want a simple fresh without any fruit, something posh and elegant, this is it. I love it, it's super classy, not sexy, like a skin scent if you can afford the very finest lux soaps. I love it more and more every day. I wouldn't say it's a signature but I wouldn't be surprised if someday it might be!

This is an epitome of spring and summer mornings. Enjoying it very much in this time of the year! And don't be put off by the patchouli note, it isn't cloying here, I promise! L 'Eau de Chloe is very green and clean, it reminds me of fresh laundry (I think it's the freesia + white musk). One of the most beautiful and unique scents I know, just pure happiness. I've already gone through two bottles and I'm so happy I managed to score a full 100ml bottle the other day. Discontinuing this heaven scent was a big mistake by Chloe, it's far superior to their recent offerings.

Monsieur Michel Almairac docet. Fragrance that praises the grandeur of spring, the solemnity of the floral world in its maximum expression, of its undisputed protagonist, the queen of the floral world: The Rose. Fragrance that evokes fabulous imagery: a sumptuous flower garden, a rose garden near a lush and sunny citrus grove in front of a fragrant forest. The Rose in all its immensity, immersed in citrus notes, notes of freesia and magnolia that echo superbly. An immense base, woody and musky, enveloping and intimate.

My love for L'eau De Chloe started with the shower gel I purchased at a pharmacy. Everytime I showered with L'eau De Chloe I felt transported to a place of luxury. The smell like an exquisite soap lingered on my skin all night. Anyone who used the shower after me said how amazing it smelt. I had to have this fragrance and so I did purchasing a 50ml bottle. It is such a unique fragrance being a fresher version of the chloe edp. I Have both fragrances and they are both amazing. So feminine,uniqiue and classy!

I hardly sense any resemblance between this and the predecessor it is supposed to flank, but that's OK. Perfect rose-citrus fragrance. Not a fan of patch, but works very well in this formula. Always been a fan of Chloe fragrances, and this one did not disappoint. This year, it's been one of the hottest summers I've ever experienced, and L'eau de Chloe has been my staple through the season. Crisp, soapy at times, but not cloying. I must have another bottle when this one runs out.

Just got it and it smells amazing. I don't know why I hesitated to try this scent before as I have all of the Chloe scents. I though maybe it would not be different enough from Chloe itself boy was I wrong. So woody almost like an Oud smell to it. It's so strange and yet it's fascinating. Chloe has not let me down. That why I love this house so much. If you want a dupe for less try Haiku Kyoto Flower Avon for women. It's the same scent with really good silage as well.

very fresh and uplifting! clean but powdery and tender. definately,elegant and sophisticated. i havent been so satisfied from a summer fragrance, since chance eau fresh. it s exactly what it is supposed to be: a light and fresh edition of the beloved original eau de parfume but with a unique character. got the 100ml size bottle and the body products too. it s a perfume i d love to bath in, on a hot summer day..

....Chloe...love at first sniff...and i'm refering here at the edp, chloe l'eau, chloe intense,....i love all of them !!! i haven't test the edt, but i'm sure i'll love that too. Chloe l'eau is so beautiful and quite original, like all the Chloe line actually .Signature fragrances ! What else there is to say? i'm in love with Chloe's fragrances...!!! ON my wish list.Reminds me Rochas .L'eau.

I love almost all fragances from Chloé and this is one of my favourites. It’s a fresh green rose scent which is long lasting and has good sillage on me. I love how this perfume is different from the usual rose scents but the key to have a gentle floral scent wafting from my body is to spray in moderation. If I spray too much on myself then it smells like floor cleaner.

I'm a complete sucker for a beautiful bottle, so I wonder at times how much that factors into my love for Chloe L'eau. Four different Chloe bottles, each alike except for their little colored ribbons, sit on my shelf, and I'm even a little allergic to L'eau, but I just can't help myself . . . I keep reaching for its intensely green, bright and lovely self.

It is just beautiful!!!! On my skin it lasts all day even under the scorching sun. Refreshing and bright, and sparkling, crispy as has been mentioned before. For me a great staple. It has that kind of detergent sharpness like Chloe, but more luxurious. The patchulie, citrus and rose together are perfect utter luxury. I just simply wanna drink it!¡!!!

This is wonderful scent for spring and summer. At the beginning I can smell a lot of citruses but after a few minutes the rose is very clear. For all the time it stays light, airy like warm spring/summer breeze but what I have to say is that this L ́Eau de Chloé is super long lasting! I can smell it after 10 hours on my skin! Just perfect :)

I adore this one! So many of you complained about the longivity but on me it lasts and lasts and lasts even on hot summer days. It is refreshing, lemonde-like, sparkling and sophisticated. I love the rose and citrus together. It's chearful, confident, clean and pretty. There is a hint of modern luxury in this gem with the touch of nobilty.

I find this a bit fresher version of Moment Bonheur L'EAU YR ,sweet rosy way with summer wind fresh vibe. And a nice surprise that a green flacon hides not a "green" fragrance. Cuz i am not a fan of green scents. I am really enjoying this one. Connection of rose patchouli with fresh/citrus mix. Cant wait to try it in summer

I join others in sadness over the fact it is discontinued. It was my favourite perfume in 2012-2013. Very elegant, very European clean chic vibe. It was like a green, citrusy Miss Dior Cherié (2014) to me, dare I say happier smelling and even more uplifting. Missed terribly and don't understand why they discontinued it.

Very classy and elegant, work appropriate . I hated it at first as I smelled it from the bottle, sprayed it on my wrist and 2 hours later I ran back to buy it (20 ml ) i will purchase the largest bottle as this scent does not last long enough on me however I will still wear it because I fell in love with it

My favorite of the Chloe EDP flankers. It smells like you've sprayed on the EDP and gone for a walk on a cool spring day just as flowers are starting to bloom. Then you walk by a house where someone's fresh laundry is in the dryer and all the scents intermingle in the happiest way. So sad this one is gone.

Rose rose rose. Beautiful and fresh. I adore this. It makes me feel like a woman, like the perfect mom. My husband loves it too and I will for sure be buying more! just remember to take it easy on this one though, less is more. Fine line here between sophisticated and elderly.

OMG! I just recently realized this is being discontinued, when I pulled this perfume out to be used as spring came. Went to check the notes, read latest comments and went into despair!!! However, managed to order one bottle! Feel so lucky!! But whyyy whyyy do they do it!!

I love this fragrance. It is very warm and soft when it is mixed with my body chemistry. It smells extremely green and sophisticated. It reminds me of Coriandre but the smell does not seem to last as long. My husband really loves it. I wear this in Spring and Summer.

I fell in love when I first smelt this!!!So fresh and floral smell omg I bought it without looking at the price tag!!! Gave it to mom because she liked it very much but I will have another Chloe fragrance one day!!! Smells expensive and fits ppl in different ages

One to test on your skin. If your chemistry is anything like mine, this is gorgeous! L'eau de Chloe starts out fresh and almost spritzy; an element of that freshness remains, but a gentle spicy-woodsy-earthiness develops that makes me feel beautifully boho.

I love this so much, one of the bests of summer scents, so sophisticated and yet fresh and delightful. It does not get too overwhelming even in the hottest weather, it is like a fresh nostalgic lemonade cocktail on a balcony of an elegant bar.

I find it quite good. It's very clean and fresh version of Chloe eau de Parfum. There's a lot of rose in it. Also some citruses and fruits. It's very bright and pretty, maybe just a little bit soapy, but I still like it. Youthful freshness.

Un aroma primaveral, como huele un jardín después de la lluvia. Es sutil, elegante, jovial, discreto y a la vez persistente. Se lleva con facilidad tanto en el trabajo, como para una salida nocturna sobretodo en verano.

Great fragrance but not for everyone. I not the biggest fan of roses in perfume but I love this scent. It has 70s vibe to it. Somehow reminds me of chanel 19 but its modern ,fresh and free spirited- very french...

I loved it! Smell refreshing and very similar to the original Chloe (rectangular bottle with bow). The spread of the perfume is a feeling of lightness in the air. The elegance and sophistication remain ...

I like this fragrance, for summer. A hint of patchouli and rose just at the beginning than quietly goes away for more citruses smell,somewhere is peony and peach with more woody foresty notes. Nice.

Lovely smell. Great for the office. I love how clean and fresh the top notes are. Can never get enough of this. Wished that it lasted a slight bit longer so I don't have to respray during the day.

very beautiful fragrance but poor longevity and sillage. you need to carry it in your bag and spray it every 2-3 hours. it does smell very nice and fresh on hair. it's ideal for summer

The best Chloe edp flanker. It clearly smells like a rose perfume, which oddly the edp didn't. I'm enjoying L'Eau's green opening and bright finish. A lovely modern floral chypre.

Love this. Only problem is that it doesn't last long on me. My summer signature and love the drydown of musty roses, amber and patchouli. Wish they did an EDP version!

I really love it! But, it's a pity I have to spray so many times to get a good sillage and could be more long-lasting.. But still love it :)
