The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012 by Chloé and crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac, L Eau de Chloe is a composition that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of floral and woody notes. The fragrance opens with bright citron, grapefruit, and bergamot, enhanced by aldehydes for an airy quality. This crisp beginning leads into a heart rich in rose water, violet, peony, lily-of-the-valley, freesia, magnolia, and jasmine — a bouquet that feels both elegant and inviting. The base of patchouli, cedar, oakmoss, white musk, amber, and labdanum anchors the scent with earthy warmth, creating an overall impression of modern elegance.
L Eau de Chloe has a strong opening that fades into a more intimate scent close to skin. Apply two sprays to your pulse points for the best effect; it blooms over time, so give it at least an hour before reassessing its presence.
