See By Chloé

Okay so my signature sent is chloe. I love the Soapy Rose. I've been going through my perfume collection and trying to sell a lot of it that I don't reach for anymore. I just don't have the space and I own far too many bottles. I've been picking about 4 a week to sell. I bought a 2.5 oz bottle of this perfume when it first came out so it's pretty old. I had about 75% of it remaining. All that I was really thinking about is that I haven't reached for it in many years. I looked up that going price and it was a couple hundred dollars for one in my condition. I listed it as vintage for 115 and it sold right away. As soon as I printed the label and went to package the product I got a whiff of the perfume and sprayed it one time on my wrist. By this time it's too late but I don't remember it being this beautiful. It was the best thing I've smelled in years and I've just sold it. I went ahead and packaged it and mailed it and ever since then have thought about it constantly. If anybody has a bottle that they're willing to sell me a travel size decant, i would be very grateful. I would like to try to buy the equivalent of the size of a Rollerball if I can ever find if I can ever find it. That's kind of ridiculous that I just sold it and then realized how great. There is just nothing like it that I've ever smelled. I came on here today to look to see what people are saying smells similar. The only thing that I see here is that one by oriflame and I checked online and there's only one online for sale and it's just as expensive as buying a vintage bottle of this. You know what I don't understand about perfume companies in general is why they produce something this beautiful or a perfume that is a great seller and beloved by so many and then they choose to discontinue it? The worst part is they discontinue it forever. I can see taking it off the market for a few years, but bring it back. Instead, Chloe keeps on selling the ones that are not unique and beautiful that people aren't buying like Chloe absolu. Why would they keep on producing something like that but discontinue this beauty? Even cosmetic companies have been known to re-release certain bestsellers, even up to 10 years after the first release. That happened with Mac Whisper of guilt. The highlighter was selling for like $300 because it was so great and hard to find and then they just re-released it. Very smart. I was Chloe would do the same. I love how the apples you can smell practically all the way through. Most perfumes that smell like Apple, only do so in the very beginning and that smell is fleeting. Not with this one.

This perfume is one of my favorites. After using up half the bottle, it may be time for a review. I got this back in winter 2013 at the after Christmas sales on a holiday trip. My dad offered to buy this for me, which makes it even more special! I must admit that I didn't start using this until winter 2014. I was kinda put off by See for a while. I smelled See on a college friend, but I didn't realize it was See. I smelled a synthetic Apple/musky weird scent that seemed to last and last AND last. I finally asked what fragrance she had began wearing and she told me See. I was shocked! Not MY See by Chloe? Can't be? Finally, last winter I decided to pull See from its box and test it on my skin. I thought it was lovely! Definitly Apple and floral. But in a unique way. I don't think I've smelled another perfume like See. It's hard to confuse it with something else. Which I love about it! I wore it a few times and asked my husband and brothers (brutally honest critics) what they thought of it. They said it was nice. My hubby loves it! When I was still living with my mom, she would steal a spritz or two every now and then. It smells awesome on my mom as well. I believe chemistry is a major factor with this fragrance. I tried See in summer since it seems like more of a summer scent but I think it smells a whole lot better in cooler weather. I realized I LOVE wearing this scent when I wear my leather jackets. The unique smell of See combined with the smell of leather smells sexy to me! (I don't spray my perfume on my leather jackets btw!) I can't wait for the cooler weather to come around so I can start wearing this again. It's beautiful, unique, long lasting! It's rare that I ever repurchase a fragrance but once I'm out of this beauty, I'm buying another full sized bottle.

I love the house of Chloe so I may be biased in this review. I went from sampling it to loving it and getting a full bottle. It has become my signature scent and I have over 100 bottles. Simply smells fantastic. The scent: Unique, comforting, approachable and strives to keep things balanced. It's a restrained beauty, the scent in the cage snapped bottle is just waiting to release its beauty. This scent reminds me of the girl that is beautiful and takes care of herself and is fashionable and know how to dress. but yet sometimes downplays her beauty and dresses down and is not trying too hard to be perfect. The scent is just that! It's got the transparency crystalline quality Chloe scents possess. This quality makes it versatile. You can wear the scent any time of year anywhere and you don't have to think too hard about choosing a scent yet you know that your scent will represent you. The apple note is so beautiful blended with the floral aspect of the scent. Perfectly balanced with the woodsy dry down. I can see myself wearing this scent around Christmas time as we'll. The scent it's youthful and sophisticated but not limited to an age group. The staying power and silage is great on me. I usually spray my clothes and hair as opposed to skin. The bottle representative of the scent itself. Minimalist yet interesting enough to be looked at and handled. Glass is quite heavy. It's got a vintage feel to it just as the other Chloe scents. I've used 3/4 of a bottle in a short time that's saying a lot when you've got as many bottles as I do. I can see myself buying a replacement bottle after this one runs out or a backup Bottle if found at a good price. If you liked the original Chloe Edp and you like sophisticated scents then you might enjoy this one too.

APPLE-BLOSSOM NECTAR. I used to have a view of an ornamental crab-apple tree from my patio. Every year around Mother's day it would be covered in pink blossoms for a few days. Then one year it was struck by lighting which split it in two, and it had to be cut down. There's something about this scent that hooked me when it first came out in 2012. It was how I wanted to smell at the time, because it seemed to represent a version of myself where losses were recovered. Even now, testing the treasured last 5ml of the second bottle I went through (although I may have a roller-ball or two), I can imagine the pink blossoms filling the patio view. Opens with a burst of apple-blossom - which is the star of the show here - supported by multi-faceted bergamot to help elaborate fruity aspects to the floral-apple and lend a faint citrus tone to the background. That deepens into the floral heart of jasmine & ylang with powdery, musky, sweet, white & yellow floral tones, all resting on a musky sandalwood-vanilla base. Overall I get a well blended floral-apple that starts fresh & faintly citrus but dries down powdery and sweeter to a floral nectar with vanilla & sweet-sandalwood tones. The floral nectar here is almost honey but doesn't have the animalic or near-beeswax notes normally associated with honey. Average or slightly above average performance. Sadly this has been discontinued, but people change and grow, and losses become a part of who we are, rather than something to be denied. Now as I sniff my wrist I'm finding this evolves to a nearly uncomfortable sweetness. I look out my patio window through my unobstructed view and ask myself, 'Did I spray it once or twice?'... Still, if you happen to find a roller-ball of this for a reasonable price, enjoy!

This is now my second, maybe third review on this one. This is the perfume that when I first tried it, I HATED it. I smelled stale beer and then just something gross. I didn't understand people who bought it or why they wanted it. That has changed, though. And honestly, the notes "floral, woody, white floral, musky, fruity" don't seem accurate to me and that is not what I associate what I'm smelling with it at all. I smell something delicious, and I can't figure out what it is. Like an ingredient in some pastry or dessert made around the Holidays. Mayben it's the apple, like cinnamon apples but with a burnt crunchy brown sugar crust, Lord I don't know, I'm rambling here, I just can't figure it out. It's probably one of the most unique perfumes I've ever smelled, hence why I keep reviewing it and it's got my brain going in every which way. I just haven't committed to buying it yet. I'm going to try some on and "take it for a spin", and see how I feel about it after that. I just know after spraying it on my wrist to get a 6th, 7th, 8th... opinion about it (because it's always changing), I still find myself thinking "mmmmmmmmm... yum" after smelling it and how it changes over time. And don't even get me started on the "paint a scent" idea. I LOVE that, and I'm going to walk over to Macy's in a minute now to paint my wrist, now that this fragrance is on my damn mind again. Long story short: I originally hated it. Now I'm infatuated with it.

I literally wanted this fragrance because of the commercials. They looked so fun!! But I had never really smelled the fragrance before, UNTIL TODAY. I went to the mall today to hit a couple of perfume stores and when I was at macy's I recognized it from the commercials, and I smelled it and I was like "yeesssssss" it is amazing. I didn't buy it at Macy's but once I got to sephora I just HAD to get a roller ball 1.0 Oz version. AND IT. IS. AMAZING. Literally has become one of my favorite fragrances within the night. When I got home and smelled it, initially I liked it but wasn't blown away (also actually spraying perfume is so much nicer than roller balls, but it's not all bad now it can travel with me). But as the night has progressed I have fallen completely head over heels for this perfume. However, I disagree with the top notes and bottom notes listed on here. I personally smell more of a sweet and light wood on first whiff, then as it settles in I smell the apple blossom more. I love this perfume so much though. It reminds me of a nice classy British lady drinking tea and lookin really cute while doing it. I ADORE THIS FRAGRANCE AND I LOVE IT WITH ALL OF MY HEART. yum yum yum. Definitely buying a big bottle soon.

I checked some reviews here and it's actually good to see that everyone has a different taste. Personally I find this fragrance beautiful. I don't care about the commercial where the girl looks little weird with her openened mouth or some videos...No clue what they're about. First I got bitter bergamot which disappeared in few minutes. What came than is calming, sensual smell of tea. I don't know but I smelled tea on my skin. Little like earl grey with some vanilla and apple cider. That slightly bitter smell of tea with sweet undernotes of sweet red apple and creamy light vanilla. It changed again after about half an hour when it happened to smell all like apple pie with cinammon, hints of vanilla and musk. Don't ask me how I got this, but it seems it played with my skin a very good game. Don't expect unbeliavable miracle. This fragrance is more down to earth, as a girl who wears it. Sensual, girly, calming, reminds me of a beautiful girl with big eyes, very ambitious, young but elegant with her own style and personality. I don't smell any old lady thing, no pungent parts. Can SEE it as a signature and desirable.

Breath of fresh air, sunshine and light showers. Just in time for April. Apples, jasmine, musk and vanilla. Starts of crisp and bright with apples and musk. Jasmine is quite strong yet pristine and clean. Vanilla rounds everything out ever so gently. Chloe See is not at all complicated yet sometimes it is all I need. It's fresh, floral, airy, and a sheer veil of sweetness. I would like to wear this perfume while my hair is still wet and go outside in the sun. Which does remind me, this smells like shampoo, but in the best way possible. When Victoria Secret Pink came out with a fragrance and body line, my favorite scent was Fresh & Clean. Getting older and wanting something a little more sophisticated and longer lasting with the same feel, Chloe See is fits the slot perfectly. Wearing Chloe See gives me a youthful feeling like I had when I wore VS Fresh&Clean in college without being childish. Also, something about this does remind me of a 90's perfume. for as simple as this is, It is understated yet lovely and one of my favorite perfumes.

i've waited a long time to review this one (at least, I don't think I have yet!) I immediately fell in love with this when I smelled it on the magazine test strip. It was before I really got into perfumes, but even now, with all the ones I have, See by Chloe holds a special place in my heart. The notes are right on, and like other reviewers have said, it's a clean and bright smell. It reminds me of spring and vacation. I don't get any soapiness out of it. This fragrance is sparkling and innocent, and that is why i love it so much. it's quite ingenue. something i can see young parisian ladies wearing around the streets while out shopping in the spring! it's really lovely, sweet, and romantic, but not seductive, mysterious, or sexy. i know it doesn't get a lot of love here, but i've received many compliments on it, and actually i find that the longevity and projection are quite good! i really recommend it, for women under 30...

I honestly did not think I would like this AT ALL. It is described as a fruity floral and I was like, "meh, boring, probably just another juicy sugar bomb". I also don't like apple in frags and really dislike the DKNY Be Delicious line (smells like Herbal Essence shampoo on me, blech). However, when I was bored and wandering around in Sephora I decided to give this a spray because I couldn't find the perfume I was looking for. The scent stuck with me and I LOVED it. This smells more like a spicy hot apple pie, not like a cool crisp fresh apple. I love the muskiness to it. I purchased it and it is my favorite fall scent, PERFECT for the colder weather and cool spicy bite in the air. Sillage and longevity are both very good, a little TOO good if you plan on wearing this in the office on a hot day, so spray lightly. One of my new favorites. Chloe is quickly becoming one of my favorite houses.

Ah! Beautiful fragrance, that takes me back. See by Chloé was the signature scent of my early 20's! I remember sniffing a magazine ad for it and immediately set out on a journey to find her. She was the first perfume I used that made me feel like an adult: put together and confident, yet still young and carefree. I wore See all year round, but back then I lived in a much cooler climate, so I'm not sure how she'd fare in the hot weather. I would say it's a warm, dark, and lightly sweet apple scent. Like drinking warm apple juice by a fire, but you're in a cool dark cave and it's raining outside, so it's still fresh somehow. One of my all time favorite fragrances, I was so sad that they discontinued it. But luckily I still have a bottle to sniff when I'm feeling nostalgic.

Just repurchased! I was at TJ Maxx and decided to browse through the fragrance section and I'm so glad I did. Found the 2.5oz for a good price. This is the perfect time of year (in my opinion) for this fragrance. Today it's cold and raining. I spritzed this on and it is just gorgeous. Something about the cold weather just makes this fragrance work for me. This fragrance has been hard to come by (for me.) It's been sold out online and Sephora no longer carries it. Found a pile of this fragrance at TJ Maxx. I may be in the minority of people that actually like the See flankers. They don't seem to be well liked. Just repurchased See Eau Fraiche a few days ago as well ;) you can read my first review of this scent since this technically isn't a review.

I'm so incredibly sad that they discontinued this fragrance, it was my signature scent for years and I have yet to find anything like it since. The initial scent is light, fresh, floral and sweet, uber feminine. But the dry-down is this absolutely incredible bedroom skin-like musk that lingers all day but people can only smell it when close to you. People would literally lean in just to smell me, and it was popular with the guys haha! Chloe has since come out with a kind of "See 2.0" with Chloe Intense in the red packaging as that one has a similar apple top note and musk dry down but it's not at all the same :( If anyone has smelled anything similar to See by Chloe pls let me know!!

I personally adore this fresh & crisp scent. Some people cannot wear apple based scents, but those that can will love it, on my body I get the crisp apple scent paired with the Jasmine, then a dry down of musk and sandalwood and Ylang Ylang. It does not smell like shampoo on me nor is it synthetic at all, but on some people it might be depending on their body chemistry I guess. I like it because on me it is a crisp, & fresh fragrance, great for summer & the fall. I have been complemented numerous times when I where it too, my BF likes it a lot as well, and sometimes will wear it himself, I love it on him too, it can be a unisex fragrance IMO.

This somehow just barely makes it among my favorites, but, for some reason, this and Gucci Flora EDP gets the most compliments. I live in Fiji, BTW, and work in an environment with a very multicultural workforce, with people from age three to, well, senior citizen. This gets compliments from people of various backgrounds... There are days my husband just says he loves it so much. I have finished a 75ml, got a 50ml, then bought another 75 on sale. Is it the climate, or is it my body chemistry? Can't tell. In Fiji, I find it more wearable than Gucci Flora (the other "most complimented). This one's mild enough for even the warmest days.

Young, fresh, addictive, sweet, adorable. This is one of my top 5 fragrances. I had been searching for a nice fresh sweet fragrance, but couldn't find one, until I found this one. I loved it so much I had to buy the whole set. The opening is a fresh burst of appley goodness, and the dry down doesn't change that much, it remains fresh and pretty on my skin. I love this scent. The bottle is gorgeous and so is the packaging. Bright and happy, very much like the scent. A very good updated version of the traditional heavy florals of the old Chloe line. Only negative would be, that it is quite pricey.

Why oh whyy the dislikes? Ok, I can se "why". It's fruity. It's floral. It's not spectacular per se. But even so, It's way more "fun" and "uplifting" and "sparkly" than the "regular" Chloe scents, is it not? I think so at least. It's a bit of an.. odd fragrance as well. I've heard poolwater beeing mentioned before. It has that sort of chlorine undertone. But that just makes me love it even more. Yhea. I'm also that kind of person that likes to sniff gasoline. The body lotion in this one is absolutley spot on the perfume aswell, not stale or frowsy at all.

Oh, how I miss this one. See By Chloé wasn’t just a perfume, it was a mood bubbly, flirty, effortlessly pretty. Every time I wore it, I felt like the main character in a soft-focus Parisian daydream. Compliments? Constant. It wrapped around me like a halo, and people always asked what I was wearing. The apple blossom here was magic. And then, just like that... it got discontinued .... WHY do they always take the best ones away? It still lives rent-free in my heart, and no dupe has ever come close. Truly one of my most missed scents. – Bhavna Darira Chesan

I fell in love with this with the first sniff of the bottle. When I wear it I get a very strong white floral scent that never fades or changes. I have worn it in the summer and it was a big mistake as it was too strong and old lady floral on my skin. I have been afraid to wear it in the daytime since then. Now it is winter and I sprayed just one pump on each wrist and it is still very strong floral 2 hours later. I love it but it reminds me of many strongly scented perfumes from the 80's. It is going to take me forever to use up the bottle.

I love this perfume. It isn't a complex, sexy scent. It is just a good, everyday perfume. I smell a lot of apple and vanilla, but not in an apple pie candle way; it's much more bright. It does no project well on me, but when people do smell it, they compliment it. Although I do love it, it's not the type of perfume I would repurchase. The bottle is beautiful, and the scent is great, but it resembles too many other fragrances. There just isn't enough to set it apart from the other juicy, fruity, perfumes available right now.
