As it is, even observing the bottle sends off inner warningsdo not go there. As it is with classic clothes so it is with classic perfumes. Not dated but definitely different and "perfumey", this - amongst others of course - is the smell of a woman. LOVE it and have a mini Chloe Chloe in my collection. I received it in Karl's version, the frosted bottle, and it smells so powdery and innocent, exactly as I remember it from early 90's. I used up my teeny miniature and eventually bought a large bottle but it smelled different, just floral, no sweetness. I still love it! This voluptuous perfume foreshadows the 80s powerhouse perfume trend even it was created in 1975. A beautiful composition of jasmine, lilac, tuberose, and carnation. I want a bottle! I first tried this in winter, because my mom used to wear it, and it was a headache inducing nightmare. EGADS was this awful on me! I have worn this since 1980 when I was a young student in university. Not a good thing to hear at any time. The weather is in the mid 50s and sunny. A delicate and interesting mixture of scents that can't let you indifferent! It smelled wonderful, white flowers and rose,and asked her what it was so I could jump on here and see the note breakdown. From shop TheArtofReUSE, ad by luola I wore this in the mid 1970's, one of my boyfriend's said it was so strong he could almost taste it. About 30 minutes later a beautiful aroma reached my nose and sticked with me throughout the evening (even after doing the dishes). This is another one I love, as it's another one of the few vintage perfumes that seem to suit my body chemistry. after awhile i sense more tuberose, but i think the hyacinth and lilacs are making it seem more powdery and spring-like. Tuberose is the top note, and it's very rich and heady. Great! I think it's the perfect scent for fall, when it's windy, yet with some sunshine behind the clouds and you can feel the warm hug of that lovely scent. I was a teen when this scent was out. Obsession is a scent that turns awful on my skin but Chloe is great. Chloe fits the bill perfectly. I would dab two drops behind my ears and what I smelled felt absolutely genuine. You dry down to a beautiful field of floral loveliness, but you are so warm and cozy (must be the amber, musk and woody notes). It reminds me of my mother when I was little. However, after I opened up the box, I realized (duh) that it was the original Chloe. Smelled this the other day at Khols. Your review is spot on. My mom has worn this for as long as I can remember. I got a vintage Chloe, 50ml, like the above bottle but def a Lagerfeld box. It was rich,full sophisticated lady scent, and I was a teenager and couldn't pull it off. Huge longevity. Sillage, while it lasted, was good, but unfortunately it had pretty much disappeared after four hours, and that was with two sprays. We've sent you an email to confirm your subscription. Its a warm, yellow floral (tuberose, I'm told,) that is pillowly soft, with a little bit of sweetness and touch of spice. I would say this is more of a fall/winter perfume. Just a beautiful combination of aldehydes and flowers. The woman who wears this is confident, feminine, intelligent, romantic. I'd buy it immediately if I saw it here! Warm, heavy, dusty aroma with sandalwood-cedar-moss drydown. It smells a tad old fashioned, too. There were no testers but I gave it a go anyway. I used to wear this as a teenager, so when I saw a bottle nostalgia got the better of me. Amazingly enough, I spotted this beauty at an antique collective this afternoon!! It reminds me of college and happy times. RockinDRDesigns Ad from shop SuperLynnify I will forever associate Chlo with my college and post-college years. It's so nice. Or both. "Grandma smell, for sure" - was his reply. I wanted to buy a bottle online, but I found out that it was discontinued. Chloe Chloe also known as the original (Ive been told). I wore it to work and was virtually wrestled to the ground by a work colleague who couldn't stop sniffing me and my 16 year old son adores it. MonoLandStore It breaks my heart that this perfume has so many dislikes! The sillage and longevity on the skin are moderate.

Some departent stores are actively putting the classic Chloe out for test, and it's easy to see why. Wish I still had some of the original around. And by the way not the best use of tuberose in my opinion. It smells better on her than on me, but it's feminine and soft. But that happens both ways. It smells like a professional woman aged 30 and above. Not the Chloe New, either. It smells golden to me. No, not really. I highly recommend the vintage minis. A touch of coconut gives an opaque-ish finish. I looooveee this frag!! As it happens to all great voluptuose older fragrances, they just decide that we are all soft young women who prefer soft young smells. Lovely decent scent for everyday wear, nothing too fancy. It is a complex fragrance that I still love to wear when feeling floral. Very powerful scent, not entirely off-putting. I sniffed the bottle and it smells good but seemed it was missing something warm and deep and the top was a little brassy. When the formula was first created it was not a cheap scent at all and sold in nice department stores. Great for this time of year when Spring is around the corner but it's still cold enough to warrant a cozy scent.

Amarige is bright and uplifting. Here it is an hour later and it has mellowed out a bit, to a more green/lush blend with the floral. I remembered CHLOE as being a cool, spicy floral with a somewhat soapy tang at the beginning. I really liked this back in the 80s, so when I recently purchased a set of four minis (in an effort to build up my stock of original Organza Indecence, which is why I purchased it), I was looking forward to trying it again. Ad from shop TexasSusannieFabrics From what I can remember, it would be a very dated frag now, but I'm sure some people still enjoy it. Ad from shop SalvageStudioStore As time passed, rather quickly, I got a scent I've admired on others fora million years! Had to scrub my arm intently for several minutes before it subsided to a tolerable level. Ad from shop VINTAlexStore I respect and worship Uncle Karl and I love the history of this perfume, and especially love reading everybody's amazing stories below, but this is suffocating to me and doesn't settle into my skin or become my own scent in any way. annxyz - SO true. Everything is better the second time around especially perfume. It's warm and such a magical scent, they don't do it anymore like that nowadays. There's Queen Jasmine, in all her glory, a real Indian jasmine, with unapologetic aroma that hits your nose. Looks like you already have an account! It also is quite different then the modern version. Not sure if this bottle was contaminated or something but boy was it BAD. From my very first miniature when I was about 10 to all the bottles I've repurchased without a second thought. Sometimes it reminds me of the type of pre- Raphaelite ladies in the paintings with long ringlets and gauzy dresses in flowerey meadows. Moment to moment sexy at it's best! in a bad way. Not that attractive. While many of the items on Etsy are handmade, youll also find craft supplies, digital items, and more. There is a subtle mystery about this fragrance. Does shopping on Etsy help support small businesses? It is a bit heavier than I expected and though I can smell rose and honeysuckle I mostly get carnation which isn't my favorite flower. It became flowery as well. Which is always a bonus. Smells like a beautiful Hindu priestess. All time classic and one of my favourites! This smells like femininity in a bottle . I remembered that it was relatively affordable considering how potent and beautiful the fragrance was.

I have learned to spray this baby strategically as it can overtake you if you overspray. It works best for me on a warm spring day. This stuff is powerful. Not to mention all the reformulation going on these days. This is lovely. On my skin the coconut smells almost vanilla-like, it is rich and amazing, it stays pretty much the same after the opening notes have faded after a few minutes.There is nothing sharp here, just smoothness and warmth. Tuberose, peaches, and aldehydes with hints of coconut! Review of original mid seventies Chloe edt, Parfums Lagerfeld. I will be donating this one to the next neighbor yard sale. A great scent for those who want long lasting, classical fragrance on a budget. Very well blended. My friend wears this scent and it is deliciously floral and spicy on her. I dont get much wood at all. I do like that it gets a bit powdery also. Waaayyy too strong for daily wear. I was wondering if I was going to like it at all, as some of the reviews are poles apart but for me this was love at first sniff. CatHatCompany She told me this is the only scent she has ever worn as she has problems with finding perfumes that don't give her a headache. Choose the options youd like for the order. Completely agree with you. I like both to be honest but the vintage is more crowd friendly. No repurchase just a fond farewell. Tried as part of a Sephora sample box a coworker generously passed on to me - I'd previously sprayed my wrist at a department store and pretty much promptly forgot about it but this time, I sprayed the tiny spritzer on my chest/neck and WOW, what a difference! If you want to smell exactly like hotel bar soap, go for it. ( Back in the late 70's I think). I recently acquired the vintage 70's dusting powder and it is just divine. One year I decided to buy her a bottle for Christmas only to keep it for myself instead! remembering account, browser, and regional preferences, remembering privacy and security settings, personalized search, content, and recommendations, helping sellers understand their audience, showing relevant, targeted ads on and off Etsy.

The bottle looked like the "old formula". From shop VintageByMaba, ad by TimesofSplendor Some might relate to this: the relationship I have with Chloe (this one- not the new stuff) is similar to a relationship one might have with a troublesome lover. I hadn't smelled it in many years but took a chance and bought a bottle at Marshall's yesterday. I can remember the first time I smelled this perfume. I'm going to wear it more often now, the edt versions work really well in warmer weather.I'll check out the newer version as well but I'd recommend trying the Karl Lagerfeld original, it is truly beautiful, even for a non floral lover like me. These comments are regarding the Chloe EDT distributed by Coty Prestige, (the exact bottle pictured here) now discontinued. reminds me of Giorgio Giorgio Beverly Hills for women. So, on this rainy day in MayI have decided that Chloe will no longer hold a place in my perfume wardrobe. that always presents itself as an itchy, awful note and that's all I can smell. One of my very favorite ones of all times. From shop SalvageStudioStore, ad by PerfumeofLife Never smelled the Lagerfield version, unfortunately, so I cannot comment on that version. by John Biebel, Dr. Marlen Elliot Harrison, Elena Vosnaki, by John Biebel, Dr. Marlen Elliot Harrison, Elena Vosnaki, Miguel Matos, Rouu Abd El-Latif. Ad from shop TheArtofReUSE Fragrance Reviews: 1,287,842 What a joy too wear and I get compliments daily. It has been around since 1975 ! It opens with bright aldehydic peach and floral galore. A classic example of how a fragrance can be changed by body chemistry. I just swapped for a bottle so I could remember the smell and how much I admired her. Not a bad smelling one mind you, but I swear I've smelled something like this before. By the way, this package and bottle I got were exactly as pictured and as much as I can recall the scent is very much like the "original," at least to my nose. Saying no will not stop you from seeing Etsy ads or impact Etsy's own personalization technologies, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. My youngest daughter has made Chloe her signature fragrance now . Beautiful. Mostly for sentimental purposes, as it was one of the fragrances my mother would wear (and I frequently stole from her medicine cabinet for a spritz) when I was a child. A soft mossy-woody dry down. This is very good for colder days, it brings warmth and soft comfort for those days. Most importantly for me, this fragrance reminds me of the 1970s and I consider it a classic perfume of that era. MyVintageGadgets Pungent heavy chemical awfulness. Heavens. The first time I tried Chloe, my impression was hardly favorable. To my surprised, it's heavy white florals and powdery. Boy was I wrong! Not bad, but I like my soapy scents to have at least a little warmth. From shop Pattyscraftcreation, ad by RockinDRDesigns Out of nowhere I had the urge to try it again, I have the little round glass bottle parfum version with the glass lily stopper in its ever so slightly worn-looking box, the 9.5ml Parfum in a silver canister which comes with a funnel & soft cloth holder in a stiff box and a splash and a spray version.I re-tried the pure parfum first, the first sniff on the stopper didn't smell too promising; maybe a bit sharp and nothing like I remembered but I persevered anyway and oh! I started wearing Chloe in the early '90's and continue to include it in my fragrance repetoire. Later on it was found in drug stores, and still is . Even the design of the bottle, with its soft curves and lily-shaped stopper, was criticised. My mom used to wear Chloe parfum when she got dressed up for special occasions years ago, so I associate it with those days. The original Karl Lagerfeld pour homme in its current formulation suffers from the same issues as this one. Creamy and a little powdery, but not overly sweet. And with it being a splash/dab on bottle, it's easy to apply with a light hand so as not to be radiating a sillage cloud that can fill a room. apparently this one used to cost a lot more when it was first introduced) It is absolutely stunning on this woman. Sweet but pretty, though dated. I had it when I was young, I love this perfume so very much, so, I bought a new bottle now, and it smells so fantastic, it makes me feel so happy! I got my bottle from my grandmother; she received it as a gift a long time ago and used some of it, but ultimately she wasnt too crazy about it. It appears that the old version is back though, or as close to it as I remember it, so I purchased a bottle of the new EDT for old times sake. Captcha failed to load. Ad from shop MonoLandStore VintageItalienstyle I manage to get it from my friend it was last batch i guess since its already discontinued. This will differ depending on what options are available for the item. This scent surrounds you in comfort. I was delighted when she bought it; I did not like the dark side of Emeraude and the other metallic powder dark scents she had worn through the years. VintageByMaba A very pleasant, enjoyable scent, just not the classic powerhouse I was hoping for. I smell a deep honey. My mother's signature scentbut the perfume was a bit too much for herShe wore the cream from a jarafter a shower she would just add a dab to her skin and it became part of HERRich, luxurious, powdery she smelled chic. Such a damn shame really! Maybe its because I have the new formula pictured above, but I dont seem to get it. From shop SpectacularsVintage, $267.04 Not light but then that's what a classic French perfume was originally like. Wearing it is like having a passionate torrid affair with someone who you know is all wrong for you, yet they keep drawing you in. Dont see this option? I am recently craving Tuberose, and lovely members here have suggested Chloe and Amarige, so I tried both. And of course, it is such a great fragrance that it has lasted 10 years by now.
