Chloé

Chloé by Chloé is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2008 in the designer price tier. It opens with peony, lychee and freesia, moves into rose, magnolia and lily of the valley and dries down to cedarwood, musk and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

Peony Pink, watery and slightly peppery. Modern and inoffensive.
Lychee Rosy, watery and delicate. Sweet without being heavy.
Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.

Dry-down

Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
