Love

During the pandemic, my perfume obsession was reignited. I admittedly have always loved perfume but it wasn’t until I needed a hobby that distracted me from the ensuing chaos of an all too darkening reality that I dove in deeply. In those early days, I started trying to become educated on Covid because it was slowly becoming the centerpiece of my daily thoughts and interactions. Unsurprisingly, I was led to dismal corners of the internet predicting that whole ice skating rinks would need to become makeshift morgues in order to house the expected death tolls. There was unrelenting fear mongering and divisive arguing taking place on my social media pages. It was such a paranoia fueled, bleak time for everyone. I found myself supplementing Facebook and YouTube with this site more and more to evade the drama. Inadvertently, this is when I first discovered Love, Chloé through scouring message boards. It was one of my first fragrance acquisitions after neglecting my collection for a while. Being fairly new to this world, I couldn’t appreciate the sophistication of LC. I sprayed it on my pulse points and it registered merely as a tangy, baby-powdery scent that overwhelmed me. It reminded me of a deodorant I had owned at some point and the settled way it smelled at the end of the day while I changed into my pajamas. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing but it wasn’t quite what I expected. I had a friend try this on and she said it smelled like Liz Claiborne’s Curve to her 🤔 I had no idea how to interpret LC initially and it definitely is a unique scent that has grown on me in the last few years. It’s the first perfume I tend to think of for a special occasion and that right there shows its place in my heart. My initial thoughts of it being powdery were accurate. But it’s not solely powdery. It could be the pink pepper or the starch from the rice but there’s this grounding warmth to this scent that just expands throughout wear time. There’s just the slightest aspect of wood/dirt hidden behind the florals that makes the warmth radiate even more. It reminds me of that old Campbell’s chicken noodle soup commercial with the snowman. The soothing heat causes the snow to dissipate revealing a chipper, comforted child. I know it sounds strange but this exactly how this perfume makes me feel! That must be why I have a preference for wearing it in cold months which are pretty frequent in my state. I choose this indiscriminately to weather and more so when I want to feel uplifted but I find that it performs equally well in all seasons. You would be hard pressed to find a perfume that performs comparably to LC in the current market with regard to longevity. I can still smell this in the morning. The unique array of purple flowers is fascinating because it would seem that they would make this scent feel dated. It feels retro but not old-fashioned. Perhaps if you bottled Lana Del Rey’s essence of reinterpreting old-school glamour... all the old rules apply but it’s a new game. The orange flower enhances the soapier, clean aspect that this fragrance morphs into about an hour in. I am a sucker for a fragrance that has intricate layers woven into the duration. This is definitely one of those. It’s a whole ass symphony for the senses. I can’t say enough good things EXCEPT how it’s been discontinued. What a shame that people can’t experience this scent anymore. If Chloé does actually decide to hear our woes and bring LC back, it would most likely be a hollow, replicated shell of its original exquisiteness. I have heard that Phyllis by Pull & Bear comes close to recreating LC. I don’t know if they discontinued that as well but it seems like it has fallen off the face of the earth. I have seen that the bottle design was altered but it looks like they just shelved it completely. Oil Perfumery has a decent dupe that I have tried. It’s the best dupe I have tried and does come close but it’s just an impression. I will disclose that I came close to selling my bottle at some point when I saw how much money the existing bottles were going for and really needed the extra cash. I did a little bit of whining while I took the pictures for the listing and edited them. I believe I even blurted out, “I don’t wanna!” In the end, I just couldn’t. I have never had such an attachment to a perfume I was listing like that before. My rationale on reselling perfume is usually that I might not be appreciating something in my collection that someone else might enjoy and get more use out of. The opposite happened with this fragrance. I kept thinking about what a void would be left if I parted with my bottle and how much less I would enjoy my collection if CL weren’t a part of it. Yes, I know it’s only perfume and yes, I have other perfumes (some would argue too many.) This particular perfume is special to me. I found it during such a hopeless time in my life where nothing felt glamorous, affirming, or comforting. This was my little reminder that those things were still tangible and I guess it still represents those things for me. My perfume passion has started to dwindle recently, as I think it has for a lot of us, but I will forever be inspired by scents like CL. The way they make you feel is indescribable but once they have imprinted on you, you can’t let go.

Warning: This is going to be long! Love Chloe is a dreamy powdery floral...clean, warm, distinctive, and has a vintage/nostalgic vibe to it that I love so much. I adore lilacs! There aren’t a lot of fragrances that feature this note and execute a composition so graceful and versatile...a true modern classic. The powderiness is reminiscent of luxury face powder, and you also get that clean feeling like you just got done taking a hot shower. You know that warm, fresh feeling after, you’re wrapping yourself in the fluffiest towel...and the scent of the best quality lilac shower gel that you used, it is heavily perfuming the steamy air around you. There is also that sweet musky smell of clean skin that adds an element of sensuality (this must be the rice steam and musk combination, it comes through more in the drydown and I adore that). I smell a vast green garden with blooming purple flowers, a romantic vision, and yet, I see a woman dressed in softly monochromatic neutrals (like the ad) in a more urban setting, beige cashmere sweater, below the knee pleated skirt...she has doe eyes and perfectly parted soft hair, a cool and distant sort of beauty, and she is sitting in a quaint cafe in Paris, warming her hands around a hot drink. Her clean and well-assembled appearance attracts attention as she looks somewhat out of place. She gazes dreamily outside the window into the rainy streets outside. Her beauty may be reserved and distant, yet her eyes reflect warmth, tenderness and perhaps a restrained sensuality...perhaps a longing for something, or someone, or a time gone by. Nobody knows if she is waiting for someone, or what she is thinking, or what she is feeling, but most likely she is just content with the moment, with her self, indulging in her reveries. This has been my signature scent since 2014. I was 27 when I first smelled this, and I immediately knew: ‘This is me’. Full stop. It was an instant love that never diminished. People close to me have even commented that this fragrance suits me so well. Before Love Chloe, my signatures were Miss Dior Cherie (2005 version), and then Lolita Lempicka (another evocative, powdery scent with a dreamy element to it...just sweet instead of classic like Love) after MDC got reformulated. I still wear LL to this day, but I had wanted something more serious, more polished and sophisticated than LL, more ‘clean’ than sweet, something that better reflected my maturing into my late 20s and beyond...however, I still required that innocent, ‘wet-eyed’, dreamy quality to my scent, that element of ‘fantasy’ that I never outgrew. Last but not least, I also wanted my signature to be distinctive and different from trending scents, something I can wear all year round, and with great projection and sillage to boot. And this scent fit the bill perfectly, it checked every single requirement and passed with flying colors (and that has never happened before!). I bought back up bottles when it was getting hard to find, and by now I am running out. I am looking for a replacement to be my new signature and it is so difficult! We should petition for Chloe for bring back this gem!

Uniqueness: 10/10 Longevity: 8.5/10 Overall: 10/10 Purity. Elegance. Naked skin. What can I say about this masterpiece? Love is the embodiment of refinement, of teacups and silk in a society of slathered lipstick and miniskirts. Love is undressing for bed, and beneath your clothes and jewelry lies your perfume. Understated elegance is the mantra here, nothing loud and everything intimate; Love is not for the woman who needs to make a grand appearance, but rather for she who knows that beauty lies in simplicity. A gorgeous tincture of lilac and rice, touched by pink pepper and florals. If there is a perfume of warm shower-fresh skin, it's this. Love is the scent of a body, an image augmented by the peach color of the juice and the gold brass of the bottle. The wisteria blends beautiful with the rice and lilacs, while the pink pepper highlights it just so slightly. Fans of Guerlain's Shalimar and Chanel No. 5 will find this attractive though they aren't in the same family. Some similar perfumes are Tresor (Lancome) and Burberry Body. As it dries down the rice and musk become softer and the florals remain, a delicate balance of iris and lilac. In my opinion the rice completes the whole picture. The musk alone is pretty but the rice takes the cake on this one. Overall, impressive.

Perfection in a bottle! Elegant, sophisticated, very well done perfume. Nothing to envy a niche brand whatsoever. This is not your every day generic type of fragrance. It is hard to describe but delicious to smell. It's definitely a powdery smelling perfume, albeit well-done. No baby-powder smell here (nothing against baby-powder scents, this is just not the case). To my nose, this is a very complex scent where pinpointing a note or two is hard (except for the powder and the pink pepper). It's neither sweet nor tart, definitely not your typical spring floral scent either, which makes it an unsafe blind buy. There is, though, a soapy quality about it that is absolutely divine. Let us behold the exquisite minimalistic bottle for a while. Suited for night time and/or cold days. The longevity both in skin and clothes is a monster and sillage is just perfect...not too Jean-Paul Gaultier "Hey look at me" (which I particularly dislike). No over spraying is required! In fact, by all means avoid it, unless you want to end up sneezing due to the pepper note. Unfortunately It has been discontinued. I only have one bottle that's holding on for dear life. This is my beloved signature scent. 10/10 hands down.

Mmmmmmm, this is delicious!!! When I was 14 or 15 "Chloe" signature was my every day fragrance... since then, I've stayed an arm's length away from ANY other Chloe fragrances... but this one is honestly AMAZING! It's another old-school vibe perfume, but modified into something slightly more modern and chic. An ode to purple flowers and powder, boudoir-inspired, retro makeup/retro hairspray feel to it. EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN COLLECTING LATELY! The opening is a sweet vanillic powder-puff, with iris + spicy pepper with lilac right behind it. All things feminine and ladylike in this one! It's nice to own a peppery-powdery scent as opposed to the usual "Guerlainade" sweet-powdery scent (However, those are my favorites too!). The rice note creates a round, warm feel to the scent so it doesn't get overwhelmingly sharp, and all in all it feels like taking a luxurious pink bubble bath! The drydown features some dainty Hyacinth that's very pleasant to be followed around by all day. No other fragrance can be compared - this stands out on it's own! Absolutely in love with this one, makes me feel super glamorous! Performance gets an A+ too; polite but powerful sillage, and great longevity.

I wasn't sure what I would think of this one when I first received it. It wasn't fully my note profile as powdery can feel a bit boring sometimes; dated even. This, however, is so clean, feminine, divine, the slightest hint of angelic sweetness. My Husband never really notices my perfumes, but today he could not get his nose away from me ! He claimed this is what they were referring to in Outkast's So Fresh n So Clean... I mean, I'll take it. It's clean with a hint of sweetness. It's a soft feminine soapiness like you stayed in a cottage and they left out a basket with all of these beautiful little soaps in it. Feminine! Lovely! Discontinued! Ahh! I heard Oil Perfumery makes a wonderful dupe, so we will see. EDIT: Love that I said powdery could be dated as it's now one of my favorite scents. I look back on some of my old reviews and shudder at my past self lol. I'm still opening up to new scent profiles all of the time and that's the exciting part about trying perfumes.

Love, Chloe perfume is a magical elixir. I recall the first time I smelled it in a Sephora upon its release, not expecting much. I consider the bottle somewhat underwhelming. However, that first sniff was pure olfactory wonderment. Just pure rice powder and flowers, like diving into a cloud of uncompromising femininity. The projection and lasting power are also remarkable. Such a shame that Chloe discontinued it, as I have met so many people that consider it a favorite and/or holy grail. Though I tend to love every fragrance that Chloe releases, none come close to my passionate affair with Love, Chloe. A few years ago I bought the closest dupe on the market, Phyllis by Pull & Bear (also discontinued now). That is a good one as well, though it has a zing or Sprite-like carbonation to it that makes it less powdery. If they re-released Love, Chloe - I would instantly buy 20 bottles and sell the majority of the rest of my collection. I love it that much.

I love to sniff Love from up close on my skin. The purple flower-y nuances in all of their glory and rice come through and it feels complex, elegant and warm. However, most people who smell this fragrance in the air as it projects off of my body tell me I smell like straight-up baby powder; perhaps a novice association pertaining to the ultra powerdiness of Love. While I do love it to pieces for personal use, I rarely wear it out in public and never really have. It's an evening or bedtime scent mostly. One that I use to feel comforted and relaxed. Love Intense and Love Eau Florale are a bit more palatable due to their additional notes that tame or tone the powder down. But Love the og will always have a special place in my heart. I don't think a suitable replacement exists. It is one-of-a kind and a crying shame they stopped making this line of beauties. I cherish my 2.5 oz. bottle and will likely have it for many years to come.

I finally, finally got the chance to smell this and I totally fell in love... Honestly, I didn't expect the Chloé perfume to be this good, as normally I used to get samples of their perfumes in shopping centers and I found them only "nice, decent smelling" and that's it... but this is very, very different. Now I completely understand why Love is so loved by many here on Fragrantica. It's slightly sweet, powdery and had this unique (not too overbearing or floral-pungent) hint of soapiness, too, which gives the fragrance this beautiful soft and clean, heavenly smell of innocence (it's almost baby-like). The scent also feels kind of nostalgic, in a way, but it makes me smile every time I smell it. I absolutely love powdery perfumes and this is "the new kind of powdery" I don't have in my collection yet. It's such a shame that this beauty got discontinued. They should really bring it back. :(

This one is very special. Powdery, delicate, very elegant scent, the one I used to wear to feel cozy.. I discovered this fragrance during a very bumpy and sad time in my life. And it brought me a lot of comfort. Raquek Zimmerman wears camel clothes in this perfume video which is how I imagine a woman wearing this perfume. Confident, elegant and aware of her presence. I miss this perfume. Too bad it was discontinued, it was a masterpiece. Powdery in its supreme craft! There is no other powdery scent like this, there is some spicy hint in the midde. Not even Narciso Poudree beats its elegance. I dont remember smelling anything like. The only scent that evokes the same feeling is bottega veneta edp, but it is a totally different scent. Sillage : moderate Lasting power : 8 hs Iris, lots of powdery notes and musk and rice. God i miss this scent! Chloe made a big mistake discontinuing it.

I really need a full bottle of this, but the price is way up there! I haven't decided to take the plunge. I think it's beautiful. Soft and sexy, the powder, iris, and heliotrope are gorgeous on top of the musky notes. I was so surprised because I haven't found any other Chloe's to be anywhere near as good. Now to find a bottle, even partially used, that won't break the bank! EDIT - it's fate. Just found a 1.7 oz for a more down to earth cost. EDIT 5/25/20 - the more I wear this, the deeper I fall in love with it. If I did the signature scent thing, this would certainly be a contender, though the list is long. It makes me feel very sexy, something that is hard to find in powdery scents, which veer more to the romantic in my opinion. I can't get enough of it, but will have to be judicious in my application because of it's high price and increasing scarcity. True love for Love!

working at home, and then was distracted, and realized I want to smell beautiful and soft and ooo, only that thing that Love Chloe can bring.... then realized hold on, do I recall this was no longer found in the stores, but somehow I was lucky enough that I found one at an airport duty free that still had it and bought it about last october. Now i searched the web to see if i can buy another bottle considering it is really and truly discontinued and not just something i thought... omg am I now obsessed with finding a bottle since it is discontinued... and feeling absolutely gutted that this scent i have come to associate with happiness, I won't again, once this bottle is finished. I could almost cry. I must add that i am glad there are people who will miss it just as much as i do... a sort of support group.. ;)

I initially was’t interested in sampling this are all as I’m not a huge fan of purple florals or powder scents, but in the name of science I tried it anyway. I initially sprayed it on a paper strip and wasn’t really enthralled, but later that night and for the rest of the week the small paper strip engulfed my handbag with a powder-soft cloud of irresistible goodness. I knew I had to immediately buy it that week and get a backup of this rare gem. Love, Chloe encapsulates the feeling of taking a warm clean cotton robe out of the dryer after a shower. It’s warm and comforting, blanketing your body in a deliciously addictive clean powdery scent that last on the skin for ages. I can’t recommend this enough and I wish Chloe would bring it back, I’ll want this in my collection forever. A true staple <3

This is powdery perfection. It smells like baby powder and makeup in the best way possible and it's a shame it's discontinued. I managed to find a 20 ml brand new bottle on ebay that wasn't too expensive, but I use it sparingly. I find that Pull & Bear Phyllis is an incredible dupe. It's a tad fresher and doesn't have the faint pencil shavings smell of the original. Another vaguely similar perfume is Montale Powder Flowers, but this one smells like straight-up baby powder before it turns into a slightly more flowery scent after a few hours. A third option, and the most far-fetched, is Byredo Slow Dance. In the dry-down it's reminiscent of Love, Chloe. While it's not as sweet, more boozy, mature and definitely unisex, there is a lovely powderiness from the vanilla and violet notes.

This is perfection. And I'll hardly ever call that a fragrance, no matter how much I personally enjoy it. But this one is simply perfect alright. Heady, yet airy. Beautiful, with nothing pathetic about it. Floating but stubborn. Clean and soapy, not sterile though. Hyper feminine floral. Sweet just enough! It's on the verge to end up bland, instead there's something just a tiny bit bitter added, in order to keep it tasteful altogether. It's so pretty, so posh, you cannot miss her in a crowd nor mistake her for a commoner. She is the princess in her community - strikingly beautiful with perfect facial symmetry, preppy, with perfect manners and the best education out there. And hopelessly romantic. She has never experienced cruelty whatsoever.

Chloe Love was my instant love and signature scent for 4 years and still can't believe how such a beauty could be discontinued. Perfect clean make-up powder. Abstract purple fowers, rice and clean musk give its distinct character. Gentle and elegant but noticable. It was my most complemented perfume. Now I rarely use the last 20 mls. of my current bottle. I will wait to open my back-up until Love will be relaunched. It was my dream fragrance. There had been no perfume that made me feel the joy happiness that Love has brought. Only Chanel Beige evoked the same feelings. Despite they have no notes in common, it has a similar, happy, feel good and safe vibe. They both share that warm and clean, charming aura. Please bring back Chloe Love again!

Oh my god this was my signature scent and I loved it SO MUCH! Again a super nice fragrance where I simply don't understand why they discountinued it. I tried to find anything similar, dupes etc but no luck. This is the happiest powdery sweet fragrance I have ever tried. It is powdery without being lipsticky (which I hate) and without being grandma-ish. This perfume made me smile everytime I smelled it. It is comforting, feminine, soft, warm, floral, kind. I wish they bring it back. Update: I found a dupe that is actually quite nice - if you live in Europe, you might want to check out the PURE No. 414 fragrance (where I live they are available on parfum e-shop). It is not exactly the same but close enough to give me the nostalgic comfort.

As I have finished a 75 ml bottle I’ve had for 6 years approximately, I find this deserves a hommage. When my mother bought a 30 ml bottle around 10 years ago, I was a bit sceptic. I like powdery scents, but this one didn’t really do it for me. However, over the years I completely fell for it, as a gentle and long lasting love. The scent is dreamy; in terms of powderyness I would describe it as creamy and modern. The purple flowers blend perfectly into the musk and rice, and it has amazing silage. Staying power on clothes is until the next day. Pity they discontinued it... but as all ending love affairs, there rests nothing but to accept it and move on. :)

I just NEED to say that I am literally heartsick that this masterpiece was discontinued. 😭I am desperately looking to purchase a back up of this, or even the Intense version which I've never tried, but the prices are stratospheric, even for used bottles. I still have about 2/3 of a bottle left, but I know I will need at least another bottle. I may have to purchase the Phyllis dupe so many speak of. Perhaps I can make my bottle last for longer if I use it to layer or perhaps only spray Love on my wrists and the dupe elsewhere. If by any chance there is someone looking to unload their unloved bottle, please contact me. Hopefully we can make a deal.

Love is purple flower power! Lilac, wisteria, heliotrope and iris are all here and they all shine. The pink pepper in this is very softly done. This is quite strong and only 1 spray is needed but it is very pretty. The rice adds a unique sweet starchiness to the dry down. This is a lot better than most of the iris perfumes on the market right now probably because of the lack of citruses and the iris isn't overdone. The adding of other fresh and sweet florals tames down the dry airiness of the iris. Very feminine, long lasting, it smells like something from another era, but it should be in ours. Beautiful, sad it is discontinued.

The most subtle and elegant perfume I have ever come across. It reminds me of a very expensive Chanel powder compact. Like liquid gold but never Vulgar. It’s like ivory silk pyjamas that fit your every curve perfectly. The violets come through in the dry down but definitely not overly sweet or sickly. I always get compliments from men on this fragrance. I wouldn’t say it’s for summer but I sprits a little on my clothes instead of skin on warmer days. A lot softer than original Chloe but got its own Je Ne Sais Pa... Have been wearing this since 2010. Chloe need to bring this back it’s getting harder to come by! Pure class.

Love Chloe has been my daily choice for a long time. It offers the best expression of purple flowers and powder. A pleasant mix of sweet vanilla powder, iris and spicy pepper at the beginning, followed by a light lilac. Unlike other sweet-powdery fragrances, it exudes femininity and elegance, giving a feeling of luxury, like a pink bubble bath. After drying, there is a delicate hyacinth sensation that lasts all day long. Love Chloe is truly unique, no other perfume can compare. I am passionate about it, I feel very expressive when I wear it. It offers a subtle but powerful aura and impressive staying power.

JUST GOT A STEAL ON A SAMPLE OF THIS AND I AM IN LOVE!! Sorry I’m excited lol. This smells sooo good, heavenly. Weirdly reminds me of my mom when I would hug her as a child and would get a comforting whiff of her powder blush. It’s floral, slightly sweet but not in a sickening way, powdery but not in a sickening way as well. Just smells motherly, I don’t know if that makes sense. The name is fitting, it smells like unconditional motherly love. Like compact makeup, mature and sweet. So sad this is discontinued. One of my favorite scents now but I will have to thrive off my .13oz sample, wish me luck!

One of the most surprising, enlivening, spirited and inspiring perfumes ever. A cold but soft freshness that lingers for a long time, days on clothes. Hyper feminine and luxurious. It has something activating and comforting at the same time due to the somewhat resinous pink pepper, the musk and powdery notes. All the flowers blended into this is just... perfect. I like to wear it when i go out in the evening, in autumn, winter and perhaps early spring. Still have half a bottle i now use sparingly since it's discontinued. I have searched but i haven't found anything like this piece of art.

I have just recently started my perfume journey because I am on a quest to find a perfume that smells like a hug with my mom: covergirl pressed powder foundation, clean laundry, coffee, and love. My mom’s fragrance is Clinique Happy. This perfume is a hug in a bottle, and as close to a hug from her as possible. It is feminine, clean, comforting and sweet. The florals add a beautiful complexity that settles into the powder. It’s just lovely. I had to blind buy a 15 ml, but I was certain this would be the one. It was. Such a beautiful fragrance, I hope I can find a larger bottle someday.

After smelling hundreds of fragrances over the years, nothing could take the place of my love for Love Chloe. It’s not any one individual note that stands out to me, but the composition as a whole is Pure Perfection. Feminine, soft with exceptional longevity and sillage, alluring, yet comforting. Fragrance is subjective, but this one has always hit the mark for me. And I’m surprised after 10 years of having it I can still say that. A modern classic for lovers of sweet, powdery purple flowers. Delicate as a butterfly, yet underneath, hard as a rock. Like a woman.

This would be my signature if it wasn’t discontinued. As much as I love this, I’m not paying 150+ for an unopened bottle of this, so I’m saving my 50ml bottle for special occasions. The pull and bear dupe is close, but not the same. This is just the most gorgeous, spicy, powdery bouquet of purple flowers ever. Elegant, long lasting and sweet. Instant mood lifter. Love it beyond words. Not like I don’t understand this being discontinued, since I can’t imagine it being super popular. Oh well. I’m still holding hope Chloe brings it back, as unlikely as that is.

This smells vintage. I don't think it's particularly crowd pleasing. Reminds me of an expensive soap/powder. It's very sweet but airy. I would only wear it indoors to feel cozy. I used to own and love this years ago, and was on the hunt for a "left over" bottle. Only thing is,I don't trust I will get the real deal... So I decided to give Pull and Bear's "Phyllis" a whirl, and boy that's a great dupe! The opening is more citrussy than I remember, but the dry down is spot on. And to get a flashback of long gone memories for the price of £16/100ml, I mean...

Is there not a way to convince Chloe’ to bring this back to production? They could take away that dreadful Nomade instead!!! This is so wonderfully warm, soft, womanly, delightful, divine. Would be my signature if it was not for the fact that I am afraid to be without it if I use too much... Powdery and lovely, makes me feel safe. I can use this when I am with my grandchildren, to give them a scent to connect with me. And I can use it on a date, to let that man be enchanted and never forget. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭💘💘💘💔💔💔

I smelled Love Chloe in a perfume shop. I immediately fell in love with the smell. At first it was a very clean and floral scent. After 5 min it became very powdery and soapy. I have been wearing it for the last 2 hours and I’m starting to notice the powder/soap and especially the “purple flowers” scent prevails. (this is how it smells on my skin) Its just perfect and magical. Really one of a kind. I saw the comments saying that its discontinued and it broke my heart fr. Im gonna do my best to find the dupes.

Impeccably beautiful, this is what dreamy purple smells like. Iris, hyacinth, and heliotrope served on a cosmetic powder base. Soft rice accords lend some dimension. Sillage is arms length at best, this scent is made to lean in and intake. Lasts for ages, 8-10 hours+. Perfect all year round, I wear this outside in spring and summer, and indoors in autumn and winter. Coziness galore. Sadly this has been discontinued, grateful to have 3/4 bottle left. Hope there's a re-release (no reformulation please!)

I consider powdery scents to be my favorite type of fragrances. Love, Chloe is beyond just being powdery, it's luxurious. It smells like expensive cosmetics. Super feminine and soothing. If this wasn’t discontinued I would consider this my signature scent. The fear of running out of my small stash keeps me from swimming in it. If you’re a lover of purple flower scents or just powdery fragrances and you happen to come across the opportunity to sniff this... Sniff it!

@ioanaszmeu, your bottle may have a problem. I used Love for four years but it was never nose burning, too dry and non-sweet. It's strong at first but then settles and turnes into a relaxing fragrance. It has a kind of make-up powder sweetness. It doesn't smell like any cleaning product but has a similarity with scented tissues. It may be cloying when sprayed generously or used without giving a break. At least, according to my experiences. Regards...

I still have a little bit left in my bottle. 🥲💖 Some say it's a spring floral and i can totally understand that, considering the notes. But to me this will always be a crisp autumn 🍁🍂night with twinkling lights✨️ and going out in the evening fragrance. Also all the -ber month festive season vibes. It's magical💫 and incredibly uplifting. By far the prettiest most loved fragrance i've ever known and had the privilege to own. (This AND the intense)

My absolute favorite perfume of all time. I used to get the roll on at Sephora and this it reminds me of my younger days. It’s feminine, elegant. I’ve had people come up to me in public sniffing me. Definitely my most complimented signature fragrance. The orange blossoms do wonders on my skin. And it lasts FOREVER. Truly amazing. I am looking to buy a bottle please DM me if you’re looking to sell ❤️ Or if you know some good dupes!

Lovely and vintage,makes you feel angelic,reminds me of Barbie in the nutcracker Clara would wear this,but I get the rose notes even though it does not have it so kinda interesting, it turns to a soft skin scent which I like the most I don't like the opening it's too powdery at first, reminds me of a girl who loves to lay down in a field of flowers and talk to animals, my mom said you smell amazing is that a fabric softener lol

this would still be my signature had it not been discontinued. it’s that powdery rice-y note I was head over heels about. this scent seemed like flintsones chewable vitamins + guerlainade sauce + rice powder + abstract orange blossom/heliotrope fluffy pillows. absolutely perfect and unique. nothing comes close. wore this from about 2011-2019 until I ran out. #stillsad #foreverandalways #lovechloe

I was so disappointed when this was taken off the shelves. It was my signature scent and it made me feel deliciously fresh all day long. It lingered on my skin and on my clothing. Ladies would follow me just to ask about my delicious smell. I miss it terribly. Can't find another like it. Have tried Prada L'eau de Iris, Chloe eau de parfum (second choice), Narcisso Rodriguez but none come close.

I ADORED this perfume, I made my way through about 3 bottles at the time, really hope they bring this back. Edit: I've actually contacted them to see if there's even a small chance they are bringing this back, I think about this perfume at least once a week at a this point!! Edit 2: I heard back from their customer services and It doesn't look like they're going to bring this back :(

Instant love. This is more floral than other powdery perfumes I've tried...but I'm not complaining. It's also very "wet" smelling for a powdery focused sent. It reminds me of dainty purple flowers next to a waterfall, and the powder leans more green and herbal than a pure lipstick, make-upy scent. It smells very natural and clean! So far I'm 10/10 for all of Chloe's scents...wow.

Update @2022 Just got another bottle at local perfume shop for around 80usd with tax. I was very excited to get this beauty back to my collection. This scent is totally beautiful after I've tried tons of powdery scent like Poudree by Narciso, Misia by Chanel, Lipstick Rose by FM,etc. Love by Chloe is the most exotic makeup-y powdery scent of them all. Happy to own this again

I will never forget this scent. Never. I don't understand how you can discontinued such a magnificently beatiful frangrance. Love by Chloe was ahead of time before gourmand took the perfume scene. Love was more modern than Dune or J'dore by Dior, Love was more sophisticated, complex than La Vie Est Belle. It was powdery, floral. It was so warm, musky but also fresh.

One of my favourite Chloe perfumes. Layering it with Boucheron Iris (in the purple bottle) became a signature scent for me for some time and got compliments on it. Very elegant and classy. I don't know why Chloe discontinued this gem though (Whyyyy??!!). When it got discontinued I was lucky to buy a bottle but had to pay a hefty price for it!!!

I loved this too, but it was tricky to wear, since it's a bit vintage smelling. And very intense, soft and powdery but also very sweet and definitely beastmode despite the softness. Just be aware of fakes, don't get scammed. aliexpress has these exact bottes, most of them are stamped "tester" and I have seen some on ebay already :(

In case you have the chance, please get Luxure Lady Elite, which is an extremely cheap and incredibly well-performing dupe for Chloé Love. The dry-down is just 10/10 the same and it has moderate to strong sillage with about 8-10 hours of longevity, for the price of around 7-8 EURs. You are welcome, I hope it can ease your pain.

I fell in love with this fragrance when I tested in a shop, about 10 years ago. My absolute favorite from all the Chloe perfumes I know. It's feminine, powdery, delicate and strong at the same time. The bottle reflects its sophistication. Fantastic creation. It's discontinued but I kind of like that it's not easy to find.

I can’t believe they discontinued my beloved Chloe Love. The closest dupe I’ve found is Nanshe by Nishane. It’s eerily close, yet way more expensive. I spent $200 on it regardless because it filled that hole in my heart that was left after this left. It broke my heart to take it off my profile as my signature scent :(

It smells like fairies dancing at dusk. Non sweet purple flowers bouquet with the most delicate touches of rice and baby powder. I use Phyllis as a substitute since its discontinuation although they are slightly different: Phyllis smells more like almondy heliotrope. The flankers were absolutely marvellous too.

This is a perfume I crave — sometimes. I don’t usually go for purple flowers so this is a departure for me. It is different from the screechy fruitchoulis of the decade. But I rather miss some sugar. I sometimes mix Love Chloe with a sweet, resinous fragrance featuring rose because Love alone is like dry wine.

If you love purple, musky, powdery florals this is a must try. I almost dare to say it’s a safe blind buy if that category is your thing. I try not to keep back-up bottles but if a decently priced Love Chloé crosses my path I will buy it. One of my most elegant perfumes! Smells exactly like the bottle looks
