The story behind the bottle.
Narcissus Poeticus, launched by Chloé in 2021 and crafted by perfumer Philippine Courtière, is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of delicate yet powerful beauty. The composition opens with a bright yellow floral note, which is underscored by green and aromatic nuances, creating an invigorating freshness. As it develops, balsamic and tobacco notes emerge, adding depth and warmth to the scent. This balance between the lightness of florals and the richness of balsam and tobacco makes Narcissus Poeticus a truly versatile fragrance.
Apply Narcissus Poeticus lightly — the green and aromatic top notes are bright but fleeting. The balsamic and tobacco base notes will gradually take center stage, so a few sprays to your pulse points is sufficient for lasting warmth.
