C hloe’s signature scent has long been a fragrance to be desired. Since its launch in 2008, it immediately created a new force of aromatic aromas within our beauty emporiums. Sophisticated and elegant yet contemporary and timeless, you need to experience it to understand its powers. The vintage inspired bottle is classic in design. Ridged glass and topped with the iconic bow detail, it stands head and shoulders above the rest, in the most modest of ways. Chloe fragrances appear older than their years and items that we’ve all been missing from our dressing tables without even knowing it. To spritz their scents onto your skin and enjoy the feelings they emit is like nothing else. Pungent yet light, it’s a contradiction in the best possible taste. Top notes of pink peony, freesia and lychee with green rose as its signature, nature is in charge. The velvet texture of the rose petals then enter play with the mid notes. Opulence and decadence take hold and the flower really comes into its own. Magnolia and lily of the valley accompany it to support the flowery marriage. Rich and smooth notes come from the distinctive honey. Comforting and indulgent, cedarwood retains a steady grounding. More intense notes come from amber, which altogether complete the passionate aromas beautifully. Available in: Eau de Parfum: 30ml, 50ml, 75ml Body Lotion 200ml Shower Gel 200ml To complement this already fine fragrance, two other variations were then released. For a fresher take on the classic there is L’Eau de Chloé and for a more intense hit of the flower we have Roses de Chloé. L’Eau de Chloé, released in 2012, was designed to offer a delicate l’eau de toilette of fresh air. Modern and crisp, it evokes feelings of freedom and whimsical dreaming. Entirely feminine and suggestions of chiffon billowing in a light breeze, it will enhance any woman’s natural glow. Distilled rosewater is stirred with citrus hues to create new levels of energetic youth. Bright and rested, a dewy cocktail of original notes combined with new touches like patchouli, it’s unmistakeably refreshing. The bottle is instantly recognisable with the Chloé mark of design. As with the original fragrance but this time the accented ribbon bearing a soft green tone. Springtime memories are created and uplifted with this exquisite twist on the classic. Available in: Eau de Toilette: 30ml, 50ml and 100ml Body Lotion 200ml Shower Gel 200ml When we thought there were no more secrets that the original Chloé could reveal, then comes ‘Roses de Chloé’. Still with their roots firmly in the musky and floral partnership, roses were the clear winner for an enhancement. Roses have always taken centre stage when it comes to Chloé so why not give it a leading role? Their personality has been allowed to shine through in this luminous new bouquet. Tender roses, in many different guises, take hold of those who choose to wear it. Elements of bergamot then ensure a healthy kick whilst magnolia accord keeps it modern. Once settled, the special traces of white musk and amber complete the infusion. Faithful to the silhouette of Chloé’s original parfum, ‘Roses de Chloé’ now gets accessorised with a blush pink ribbon. The fragrance itself even takes on a warmer tone to further express itself. Then as a special treat for those who can wait until the end of February 2014, ‘My Little Chloés’ is unleashed. For the loyal fans of the already immensely popular trio of fragrances, your indulgence can be treated even further! Presented as three 20ml miniature versions of the originals, size definitely doesn’t matter here. All assets of the rose are now available in an adorable collection; sensual Chloé Eau de Parfum, airy L’eau de Chloé and tender Roses de Chloé. Each bottle is available individually or as a complementing set. Perfect to add to your collection, as a gift or to take on your travels. Everyone should experience Chloe’s fragrances, in a choice of variations and sizes, you can’t go wrong. 2 9 8 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
