Chloé (new) (2008)
by Chloé

I wanted to love this so much! I saw an ad in a magazine and thought the bottle was gorgeous, but after testing it... There's something about it... I would have liked the fragrance a whole lot more, but it was kind of warm, plastic-y chemically. Maybe it's just me?

This new Chloe' is a potent lady! It lasts forever on me and, I sadly admit, it can wear me down. This Chloe is completely different from the original, and I'm irritated that KL didn't come up with a brand new moniker for this flower...even the color scheme leads one to believe they are related, but the geneology is in name only. This new release is heavy on the peony & cedar. I've recently learned that cedar comes to my nose in the form of "pepper" ~ and there's plenty here! This one feels like a 1980's creation, big & bold. I like to use the scented shower gel and lotion, they seem to be enough for my taste...adding the edp is for the brave only! I have to give it a neutral, because over a couple of hours my nose tires a bit...it's not for the meek.

I really like this one for ladys.. Is an intense scent but won´t be a sickness!! Floral with a pinch of talcuum remind..

an older lady had this on and it just amazed me so i asked. mature and oriental. not for the faint of heart. very creamy and thick. old school in a new school era.

Sorry but this is a stinker. I just ordered the EDT online b/c of the good reviews. I can't handle it. To be fair, I hate most women's perfumes, but I keep trying to find one I like ( I do like but don't love Clinique Happy In Bloom, and there are handful of men's colognes that I like.) Since EDT is lighter than perfume, I thought that Chloe EDT should be safe. But one waft of Chloe knocked my socks off (not in a good way). Against my better judgement, I put the tiniest bit on just to see if it would somehow magically change to something pleasant. I had to wash my wrist several times and couldn't completely get rid of the smell. The next day...that same spot on my wrist did smell a little nice--but nothing I would want to smell on purpose. I would much rather just smell clean than smell like Chloe. If the EDT is that strong I can't imagine how strong the perfume must be! Its combination of aromas gives me a headache. To me it does not smell clean at all. It smells extremely heavy and just plain stinky--like it is covering up something very offensive. It is a fascinating mystery to me that some people love this while I am repelled. (But I feel the same way about CK Obsession and RL Polo. They are repulsive to me as well.)

I so rarely come across fragrances which I really fall in love with, think about, and lust over. This one, surprisingly, is just that fragrance. IT is so elegant and ladylike - the perfumes of yesteryear - but at the same time there is a freshness and ripeness to it. I feel alive and so pretty when I wear this one.
