Chloe Chloe for women

My review is based on the new, Coty Prestige Chloe by Chloe EDT.

I admit that I simply admire this scent! I tried once a vintage, maybe spoiled bottle of Chloe that was deeper warmer but just too much of old-school notes for my nose even though I love classic perfumes.

This new edt is easy to wear, chic and elegant and still classic without the feeling that someone around me may not appreciate the vintage feel of it.

I may have found myy signature scent finally!

Amanita68, I really like your review !

Chloe, dear beautiful chloe, she is a northern girl, a lovely woman of the ice and snow, for this is where she truly shines.

I have tried chloe in the summer, but found her to be overwhelming, even cloying, but try her in the winter and her charms astound!

I am an aldehydaphobe, and the first time I tried chloe, her scent was totaaly overwhelmed by the initial blast of aldehydes and I could smell nothing more for the next hour or two, but that was in the summer.

I tried Chloe again in January, and WOAH! What a difference!

After about 30 seconds of spraying, I dared to sniff her. I could detect a faint hint of the aldehydes I so dislike, but within a minute they faded into the background, and the glorious flowers of the spring emerged and I was given a full on blast of the hyacinths, daffodils and lilac that sit waiting to emerge with the coming warmth of the spring, and they remained into the drydown with the beautiful musk and amber.

To wear Chloe at this time of year surrounds you in the optimism of what the spring has to bring. A breath of life, of what we all are waiting for, the fragrance of a spring garden with the sun slowly warming and rising with each passing day.

But like the hyacinths - when the spring is over, and the warmth of summer arrives, it's time for others to take her place.

This review was based on Chloe by Lagerfeld.

I think every teenager in the 70's wore this perfume. Smelled good then, smells good now but only for young girls.

Such comfortable classic, honey and apples, settles on skin so close. This is the one my daughter has chosen to wear to party tonight-out of my collection.Brings out confidence.

Colour i would associate with this Chloe is warm cream, melted butter, milk chocolate, amber. It envelopes with warmth, thick, good quality honey. It will probbaly be divine in cold winter as it has amost that woolen quality-it warmth you up with quality.

Such rich, lush and truly elegant scent that states confidence quietly. I do not see it ever go out of fashion. I do not remember it from it's peak popularity, it is my recent discovery which I would not hesitate to choose over any recent highly marketed release. Bravo.

The "real" Chloé is a Karl Lagerfeld production.(Not at all saying yours is fake).
Several online shops advertise with "original Chloé", but I honestly don't know if it's refaormulations or not. (It probably is). If I were to repurchase this one, I'd never consider it if the bottle didn't say Lagerfeld..

I've a question. My bottle says it is a Coty Prestige perfume. Anyone know which reformulation I might have? After the initial "chemical" notes it smells fairly close to the small bottle I used in the early 90's, but not as sweet or lush.

It's the honeysuckle! It's the honeysuckle! That I can't get past in this one, and unfortunately, this is all about that note. It also contains tuberose which isn't a fave of mine either, although tuberose is tolerable as a supporting note (ex. Ysatis, my old signature). In summation, Chloe is a good example of a sickly sweet, powdery, unexciting, floral. It just doesn't call my name, and even if it did, I wouldn't answer.

I usually dislike everything with Aldehydes and this is no exception either.

It's too heavy for liking, I can even tell from the color. The notes are very complex, smells very classic, mature and sophisticated...yet gives me a really bad migraine.

To me, it does not smell fresh or clean, it's just very heavy and gets heavier once worn in my country(10 months summer).

The bottle was passed down to me by my mother because she despise it, gave her a bad migraine as well. We prefer something light.

It lasts very long and has a great great sillage which makes me gasp for air.

Not my cup of tea...

This is such a nice femminine floral from the start and a big one it is. I have some vintage Chloe. The tuberose is always there as well as a really smooth peach note and I am not a fan of peach in my fragrances @ all, but this is an excellent example of it's use in fragrance. Nice scent for a woman any age.

Strong Tuberose from the start. Later on, woody and musky notes kick in and pretty lovely. I just wish the tuberose note weren't so strong; the base note is much better than the top one, which is kind of cheap. Overall, it's an acceptable perfume; not a WOW or HAAA....

I have a bottle of the reformulated version, which I bought cheaply and I find is fine for everyday use, in spite of it's soapy opening which thankfully fades out after a while. Then I stumbled upon a vintage bottle (with the nice cap), and it actually still smells good! Because of the tuberose, it reminds a little of Lady Caron. So if you want to have the vintage scent again, but can't find it anymore, you can try LC.

I bought this when I read that my idol at the time, Olivia Newton-John, had named her daughter after this perfume, which she happened to be wearing at the time she met the father of Chloe Lattanzi on the set of the movie Xanadu.

Unfortunately, time has changed both Chloes - and not for the better! This used to be very floral, powdery, soft and sweet. Now it just seems cheap, tart and bitter, with an unpleasant sharpness. Such a shame. I'm glad others on here noticed the change and it isn't just me getting old!

My friend was also lucky enough to attend the premiere of Xanadu way back in 1981 and told me that when Olivia walked past her perfume was just beautiful. This was a BIG DEAL to a young fan! And just between you and me, I sometimes still wonder if Chloe was the fragrance Olivia was wearing at the time.

It was nice to traipse back in time to this 1975 release, which has now been replaced by a new Chloe, which to my nose is a predictable soapy rose fragrance.

The old Chloe is all about big florals, aldehydes and a touch of spice. It's concentrated and extremely old-fashioned, yet surprisingly enjoyable. I find many bottles of Chloe being sold in discount fragrance stores these days for next to nothing, which is a bit of a shame seeming that the new Chloe bears such a big price tag. I much prefer the old version over the new.

Chloe (1975) exudes more character and warmth. Dusty, old-fashioned tuberose, lilac and orange blossom take me straight back to a bygone era in the top notes. In the heart, a somewhat luxurious spiciness and coziness takes over, enveloping you in a cloud of richness.

Even though, in my early 20's, the new Chloe should be more my style, as it is for my friends, the original Chloe sits better on my skin. Dated, yes it most certainly is, but this is a classic in more ways than one.

Chloe has the tendency to be a sillage monster, so a light application is necessary. I don't know for how long Chloe will grace our stores, but I'm hoping it will stick around for at least a few more years.

Not really a review but I remember I smelled this once way back in the 80's. It was so nice I can't tell you how much!
It's impossible to find it in Greece (unless I searched all perfume shops in the country, I guess) and I am hesitant to order it from somewhere else as the reformulation you say is not good.
I remember it was divine and unmistakable!
Sometimes, its smell comes back to my mind for a moment or so, short enough to not be able to grab it once again.. and forever!

There is a really strong tangy note in Chloe, just too much for me, I can get a headache from smellng it. Love Chloe is much better.

Es olor de señora mayor. La compré por internet y la compré por los comentarios, huele a insecticida...

25 years ago, I had bought it as a replacement to my favourite Jontou. I had thought they were similar then, but they weren't. Chloe was as sensual and warm as that perfume of Revlon, but more strong, and leathery or spicy on my skin. My mother also liked it, so i gave her my bottle. When someone is crazy about eau folle, quartz, or quiproquo, cannot love Chloe at the same time...

I'm going to update my review because I smelled this today and actually it doesn't smell that different to me from the original version now. So much so that I purchased a bottle. When I last tried it in 2005 I was pregnant and went off a lot of my existing perfumes. I think that could be the reason why I thought that Chloe smelled so awful back then. Anyway, I'm going to be wearing this again. It was one of the first perfumes I ever had

I dug out an old bottle planning to sell it off on ebay! So I sprayed my wrist for old times sake!! Yes! You guessed it ..... not selling now!

With all the fragrances I have I totally forgot this beautiful, beautiful classic - the last time I wore this must have been a few years back and people commented on how nice it was - but I kind of poo poed it because it was an old fragrance! Well, as they say you cannot keep an old dog down!

When I first spray I get all the complex top notes - which I find a little 80's and a little off putting - but the middle and drydown shines on me! And it is the base that I love (the same base I thought stale smelling in the 80's!!!) I get a lot of amber from this and I just love amber I was thinking a little of the old Obsession on the drydown but a lot more demure!

I am so glad I am going to keep this! I didn't do big-hair in the 80's so I don't have any bad memories to be reminded of LOL !!!!!

I started wearing Chloe as a mainstay in the 80's. It was a warm musky floral with staying power. I still wear it occasionally. Unlike some other perfumes, it never felt "right" on me.

My fondest memories of this perfume is my "younger" days when I started wearing perfume and fell in love with the "art" of scents from then on till today.

My 1st Chloe perfume was a gift from my eldest brother which he bought in Paris, France and I must say, it clearly become such an endearing gift because this perfume not only brought happy memories of my youth (though im now only in my 40's!) and of my brother (he passed away just 2 years ago) whom I missed whenever I smell this perfume. And the memories never fade, just like the memories of this lovely scent..!

Sweet mustard! Lovely!

Having received Chloe Narcisse with some other miniatures I found myself avoiding trying it because I have also been avoiding Chloe at all costs for over 20 years now. Hyacinths have a gorgeous scent and my father's Lilac tree produces gloriously perfumed flowers. I grew tuberoses once and they smelt heavenly on a still evening. So many gorgeous ingredients in the first Chloe. But my version of a scrubber. Try not to become offended if this is your favourite, many hate my faves too.

This was one of the few frangrances I ever wore on a regular basis in my youth (am rediscovering them again now). Loved it then! Have not smelled the reformulation so will be buying vintage off eBay to try it as a "grown-up". lol. It may have been too "old" for a 19 year old back then (my mother thought it odd that I liked it - she thought it smelled like her grandmother!)

My review is for the original. This was a very floral perfume on me, mainly tuberose with a fair dose each of honeysuckle and orange blossom. There is also an aldehydic quality about it that gives it a soapy feeling. I don't get much in the way of spiciness or peach. It's a very "smooth" fragrance, not fruity or tart or spicy. I can't decide if today I'd consider it a classic straight up floral, or a bit dated. I'd probably still wear it occassionally if I had my original bottle.

There is a definite change in this perfume, weaker than I ever remember it being. Seems to be a new trend in perfume-watered down and maybe nobody will notice!!! Hummm.........women do notice! Lots of complaints on Amazon. Anyway, I do love this perfume but its still not what I remember it being. A real nice rich girly type of scent and sort of soapy smelling too. Just so pretty!

When I was a teenager in the 1980s I used to wear this and it was divine. I got sick of it and stopped wearing it, didn't wear it for years. In 2005 I bought another bottle of it on a whim. OMG! What did they do to this wonderful, sweet, smoky and evocative fragrance? It is the cheapest, nastiest version imaginable. I have smelled better perfume a likes (Obssessional, Obsessive, you get the idea) in pound shops. As reformulations go, this has to be as bad as it gets. Such a shame. Why? I'm sure if they went back to the original formulation they would (a) sell more bottles and (b) people would be prepared to pay around £25-£30 for 30ml. It was such an amazing perfume once upon a time.

This was one of my first 'real' perfumes which I chose myself. I thought it was a steal I loved it so much. It is a warm fragrance for cool weather and it smells old world sophisticated without being harsh. It smells like it came from nature instead of artificial sweetness. I love the ylang ylang in it which I think is sexy. My boyfriend has commented on my perfume both positively and negatively on the days when I have been wearing it and I don't know what the difference was- maybe it has to do with the timeframe after spraying. I love smelling this on myself. I love this old version of Chloe and unfortunately the the new version doesn't resemble it at all, and I am very disappointed that one day I will not be able to find more of it.

Chloe has in recent years (2008) launched a new signature for the house, which has lead to some confusion regaring the Chloe fragrance. This page refers to the "old" signature fragrance as shown in the pictues, launched by Lagerfeld in 1975.

Of original (Lagerfeld) Chloe I have pure extrait, a vintage edt and an edt of the current formula.

The main difference between the current and vintage edt is that the vintage one is built around a really creamy and buttery tuberose. It is in general more widley flowering of hyacinth, jasmine and ylang ylang and the flowers are supported by a pinch of powder from the orris root and is firmly grounded by oakmoss. I smell coconut in both versions but oakmoss only in the vintage edt.

The current edt smells like a nice a bit undefined floral aldehyde powerhouse, yes it smells like Chloé but I miss certain elements that gives the fragrance it's original character and oomph. The sillage and longevity is great in both versions.

The vintage perfume is sweet, creamy almost buttery in character. It's intensively blooming and everything good about the vintage edt is amplified. It's less aldehydic, has good projection and is very longlasting.

Therfore, the current edt is a fragrance that I LIKE. The vintage edt on the other hand, I LOVE. And the vintage pure extrait, I ADORE :).

i'm not romantic at all.....but i like to smeel this fragrance on my skin ,like a baby smell ,sweet one and lovely...

I loved this stuff in the 1970s. I have a deluxe sample, but never bought a full bottle because a boss of mine i admired wore it and i didn't want to seem to be imitating her. Now i regret not buying a big bottle because the new scent pretending to be Chloe bears no resemblance whatsoever. And the original is long gone. Sigh. Ah, Chloe! Floral, incense-y, multi-layered, complex, luscious, sweet, romantic, yet strong, assertive, powerful. The perfume of a REAL woman.

The new fragrance bearing its name is so-so, ho-hum, commonplace... heck, downright common. It is beyond simple, it is simplistic: a little white floral, a little of that ubiquitous melon-y scent that seeps out of so many hum-drum fragrances of today. Why did they bother to give that sad pathetic wimpy fragrance the name of this luxurious classic...

I had the original version and the last bottle I got is already about five years maturing ...

This floral aldehyde is not for everyone: less opulent and away from the "powdery" feel of the predecessors of the twenties onwards, elegant, but lacking the brazen sensuality of his partners from the seventies and eighties, no doubt far from the sweetness of aldehydes of the nineties, is unique, respectable, unctuous melt while we seek its accept ...

His rich and complex pyramid , worthy of the most recognized aldehydes in the history of perfume, is selfish and unwilling to be released in stages to our sense of smell ... Its amber color, its unpretentious bottle, can only underscores his indomitable character. The woman who appreciates undoubtedly is in no hurry, and is aware of the treasures in its history and its chords. A few perfumes in this family have at skin as prolonged longevity and sillage as intoxicating Chloe. The adventure begins with the chord of ylang-ylang, hyacinth and coconut, making anchor on orris root (fruits and flowers remain locked in the cell of aldehydes, intact) and penetrates into the wood resins and raising amber note the maximum imaginable ...

Perhaps I exaggerate. Maybe Chloe is the one who exaggerates. You tell me.

My bottle was purchased in the last two years, so I am guessing this is the re-formulation everyone is mentioning. I enjoy the maturity and strength of aldehyde scents but wasn't too impressed by Chloe. It just feels old hat to me. I smell powdery honeysuckle and dry down has an almost light coconut note to it. I do love the crazy sillage Chloe gives off, but I don't think I would ever buy another bottle.

I have just received a bottle of the original formulation EDT and am totally swept away by it.At first sniff, I was taken aback becaue it came across as quite intrusive and strident but I have learnt now to let it settle. A few minutes later , I was rewarded with the beautiful complexity that this fragrance offers. A warm, spicy floral that is unashamedly classic and does not feel the need to appeal to anyone that does not respect who she is. She's earned her right to be considered a legend.I can't get enough of it.

This was my high school scent as well! At the time, I loved it. I remember tuberose and aldehydes, it was so sweet and smelled wonderful on my clothes. I don't like what I hear about the reform, I was hoping to revisit it in the near future.

The original Chloe was my high-school choice...soft and feminine orangy powder and flowers.
I wore this and Toujour Moi instead of Love's Baby Soft all the other girls were wearing, which did smell just like baby powder and was too innocent and juvenile for my taste. Your other options, patchouli or musk oil...god I miss head shops...
Anyway, I have sniffed the re-form and it is nothing like the wonderful '70's version. Way too much choking powderiness and not much else.

So, look for an old bottle and wear sparingly, as I recall, a little goes a long way.

I have the new version EDT. I bought it unsniffed and it is really bad. I can't say anything nice about it. It's not sweet, creamy, tuberose, or any of the other things people described. It reminds me of a bathroom air freshener my grandparents had in their house, and the scent was called "potpourri". It's a melange of too much stuff.

I am not speaking to the original version, as I have never tried that out before, but I have a strong feeling it's a lot better than what I own.

Talk about lasting power...this may be one of the all time champions! This will linger on anything that touches it for weeks I swear. Even after clothes go thru the wash it still remains! I love this smell...I can only take it in small doses and would not be able to wear this every day but it is a good one for summer and for anyone who wants a super long lasting scent!

Classy and classic and "old school frangrance" that might seem and oldie to many, "vintage" according others , is a must have for the romantic woman who can't do without white bloosom (i don't smell any coconut in that O_o)or for a sweet teenager .

for some reason, i really love this heavy, strong, syrupy fragrance. it drys to a sexy, musky, floral. it hangs with you all day or evening. a little is a lot. for some reason this perfume always reminds me of a very subtle anais anais.

its good after it completely dries down maybe after 2-3 hours... very nurturing and motherly scent... but pretty dated... not modern but classic powdery bittersweet, cosy, it renders a submissiveness to its wearer.

After getting recomended by a few friends into trying Chloe, I finally got around to giving it a try... I really don't like writing bad reviews but this is the first perfume to make me feel a small wave of nausea after smelling it. It's SO very over sweet! Never the less I decided to give it a go, as I do with every scent I try out and I gave it a few minutes to settle in before making up my mind... but it just got worse! I don't know if it's my skin or what :(

In the end I had to bring my shopping trip to a halt, go home and thoroughly scrub my wrist because it was so completely overwhelming.

I'm sorry Chloe but we just weren't meant to be!

I remember trying this as a youngster and hating it, ahh the fallacy of youth. I must admit I still find it pretty challenging.

It is rich, thick and spicy honeyed but that uber buttery tuberose! It is almost too much for me. Why can't tuberose love me as much as I want to love it? Whhhyyyyy???

I don't mind admitting that Chloe still kicks my behind like its 1989 but we have come to peace with one another and can enjoy one another from a distance.

Unique and special scent.
Strong and rich floral bouquet, but never
intrusive or loud. For woman with strong personality. Always reminds me on antique vase with beautiful flowers.
Timeless classic, smells expensive,but not pretentious.
Excellent choice for signature scent, for one unusual lady.

I have a bottle of this and I do like it. It's not my fav top 10 list but it's a nice honeysucley sweet perfume that's long lasting with good silliage for the money. I can see why it's an enduring classic it's perfect for spring and summer.

This is a review about the original Chloe by Lagerfeld (one with the simple rose design bottle with the tabac color), where I do not bother myself to write about the new one...I cannot say enough as it is my signature scent, wonderful smell, and too bad that it is very difficult to find it..there are tons of floral notes in it but all of them are blended sooo good that the formula makes a very unique scent where you cannot seperate the notes, so it is not jasmine, not tuberose, not rose or carnations but it is "chloe"..In spite of the high number of flower notes in it, it is not a loud floral (those usually make me sick and turns my stomach), on the contrary creamy and soapy even..but don't get me wrong it is not a simple clean smelling soap but a rich and expensive one that royals used in their personal tubs... It is funny that I am not into floral scents, even I can say that I am against them and my signature scent is "chloe"..it is very long lasting and has an amazing sillage (even with the edt), and there is no one around smelling chloe:))

Just received my edt and it is not Aunt Alice's Chloe from the eighties, but it is still amazing. I don't think of Chloe as a floral. It is deliciously spicy. I have an old bottle of edp with a tiny bit left. I may soup this edt up with the edp. I am looking forward to cool weather to wear this gem. Chloe is my favorite spice.

Tip: Get some Hanae Mori whipped body butter and use it with anything spicy. It is yummy to say the least. Oh yeah, I threw my cool weather assesment away today....bad girl. Perhaps this is a lapse of taste...who cares?

EdT a bit disappointing...not BAD, mind you, but not as I remember at all. No creaminess. Sure the EdP is way better.

I like Blissful's comment too.

My stepmother wore this to death. I never ever ever want to smell this scent again if I can get away with it.

Wear this and your whole house growing up smells like this scent.

I like Chloe... I guess... "BUT" I don't want to own a bottle of it. LOL! OK, my reason why well.. my boyfriend...his ex girlfriend wore Chloe it must of been her signature scent... and I'm telling you... if your man has been around a woman that wears this very heavy floral your going to know he was around her! This stuff stays on everything and anybody you come in contact with, I mean you don't even have to touch the person wearing it, just talk to them and it will be on their breath. Way too strong for me. Anyone I have been around that is wearing this, they smell like they took a bath in it!

Old Chloe was reformulated. Old-old one (Parfums Lagerfeld) is wonderful floral, rich and dense, creamy, and also it is not a killer tuberose, so those who are scared of tuberose can handle it. New-old one (Parfums Chloe) is less creamy and rich, and more soapy, different then the original one.

Oh, lovely! It's powdery, a little creamy I don't feel dominating tuberose. A very feminine and elegant scent.

Terrible strong overbearing stench. Not for me!!!!!

My mother had a small 5 ml bottle of Chloe back in the 80's, which means it must have been pre-reformulation era. I can't remember how it smelled at all, just that 10-year-old me was completely mesmerized by it. So in my latest perfume shopping spree, I included a bottle of post-reformulation Chloe.

Dated? Yes, definitely. Outdated? Hell no.
A soft but powerful floral aldehyde scent, where the notes blend perfectly together in that beautiful old-fashioned way. (Caution: apply sparingly, or you're in for a sneeze-fest.)
Chloe is one of those rare fragrances that manages to appear both sophisticated and adorable, all at once. It makes me want to let my long hair out, put on a billowing dress and stroll across fields. (Too bad I have short hair and live in the city.)

Cute name for a perfume. Too bad about what's going on inside. This smells like old rancid perfume. Its remind me of a neighbor I had when I was younger. She always smelled of cigarettes, beer and this perfume. Its smells cheap. Too strong. Not a favorite of mine.

I'm sure other people have said this already, but I have to say - the EDP is really very different from the EDT!
The EDT is very aldehydic and has that nauseous 'edge' that I'm sure is what a lot of people fear. If you can score the EDP though, it is so much smoother and creamier. There is almost none of that edge at all, it's just a beautiful musk-y tuberose-y dream!! :)

If you want something new, cuz you are tired of today's floral fragrances, due to the lack of personality and strength, I think chloe can fullfill your expectations.

Chloe is a fullbodied scent like Ysatis by Givenchy but more floral and warm. This beauty is for use on special occasions, is not an everyday fragrance and is not for nightclubs or a first date. Chleo is an expert when you want to attract somebody’s attention for your luxury and sophisticated style.

Too many complicated notes which in the result give me a strong headache. Maybe it's too mature for me.

This smells 'old' - certainly not modern in any way - but I was surprised how much I liked this. It's a dark heavy floral but perhaps a good choice if you don't want to smell like every other fruity floral going. I'd compare it to a vintage dress that on the right wearer looks fresh but is always borderline dress up in mum's old clothes.

Did they change the formula? I smelled a sample in a magazine today and it not only looks diffrerent, but smells different as well.

When I sold cosmetics in the 80s, Chloe was Big! I love all the comments here about "power suits and big hair". :-) This scent was popular with many men who wanted to give perfume to their wife or SO. They knew the name and loved the smell- that was it- sold!

Unlike all the great reviews,I do not like this one.Got it in a set.Even my daughter in law said it stank on me.Maybe body chemistry.Looked forward to having it but,was so dissapointed.Maybe all the others were right so give it a try.The only great thing was it was not longlasting on me.Maybe im just olfactory challenged.

I quite like this perfume, but like so many other reviewers, I automatically connect it to "something" from the 70's or early 80's; perhaps one of those older, nasty female bosses with little sense of smell who used to drown themselves in it?
And, oddly enough, those who do not connect it to the image of 'power-suits' and 'big hair' ie: those born in the 90's on, have no such issues with it and either like it or not.
Used sparingly, (note- 'SPARINGLY'!), it is simply devine on the right person.
It IS a strong pefume. It IS heavy. It IS horrible if over used.
But Chloe is a nice change from the plethora of lolly scented little girly perfumes around these days.
As with all perfumes, try it before you buy it. A few times, from a few different outlets.

I adore this fragrance- it brings back great memories of my last romance before marriage- it has incredible staying power- had the sweetest habit of lingering on the pillows-

and the bottle is one of the best ever- very art noveau-

I gave the new Chloe a brief sniff- and it bore not even the slightest resemblance to the original- like mellyhelly said, it was very thin- like an anemic rose that is lacking essential nutrients-

I've just got my hands on a vintage pure perfume (yes the beautiful organic bottle above!) and Chloe pp is even more intoxicating than the EdP I tested before. It's still a loud floral bouqet but less buzy. And it is so heavenly sweet and creamy. But as with all oldies the sweetness is not edible or sugary, it's just very inviting. Chloe is very debated for sure. My advice is to go for the higher concentrations if you find it scary,(which I recommend for Guerlain classics as well) and let it settle down for some minutes before you evaluate it. Some fragrances deserve a second and a third chance. Chloe is one of them.

Edit: The vintage EdT is also a true beauty!

This is one I don't like at all. Maybe a weaker (very weaker) version would not be so bad but geeze louise we left the 70's and 80's and went sheek and elegant smelling since then. Very heavy perfume.

Okay, Let me apologise now for the review that is about to follow.....
I brought Chloe on the recommendations below from all the Chloe original devotees.

Now that I have sprayed it on, I can think of nothing but tweed power suits, shoulder pads and permed hair. This is so 1980's. The smell is choking and unpleasant, in fact it smells so bad you may confuse it for the original smell still impregnated in the worn tweed fibres of your suit that last saw day light in 1988.

If you wear this make sure your man wears 'old spice' to match.

Worked for Karl Lagerfeld.In the showroom where always bottles laying of this parfume.Realy delicious!

Delicious like eating a sweet apple! Wears long and subtle. Great for all ages and sensitive noses.

Chloe (Lagerfeld) is a very lovable and unique gem among fragrances. It opens up like a big bouquet of precious garden flowers, picked in a warm summer evening when all fragrances are so intense, as the flowers are trying to attract the last butterflies for the day. It's intoxicating, alluring and a bit confusing because of it's complexity. But after a while when it settles down the EdP leaves a sensual trail of creamy sweetness, which is very appealing for both the wearer and surronding individuals. Bewiching!

I really liked the old vintage version of Chloe! A grand, elegant, totally feminine tuberouse powerhouse with a very sensual drydown. It was so complicated yet smooth and creamy. No edible fruity/foody edge. Those were the days when women didn't smell like cakes, chocolate and bubblegum - oh, so yummy!
Those were the days when women smelled of thick intoxicating flowers and woody soft drydown.
If not overdone Chloe was a very elegant perfume. It lasted forever. Not for faint at heart, but not offensive anyway. I don't know why they felt the need to discontinue it.
The new Chloe is a good smelling average floral with no oomph!

Demasiado fuerte.
Perfecto para la abuelita o la tia.

Nice to smell and I'm sure its suits some people, but definately not on me.

Sexy but not a tramp-
a gorgeous fragrance in a fabulous bottle- incredible staying-power- reminds me of my last fling before getting married-

Very stylish, feminine, and beautiful. Irresistible fragrance.

total classic scent this is REAL PERFUME

One of the greatest classics it`s SO feminine :)

Gorgeous in the bottle, ridiculous on me - maybe it's the coconut, I don't know, but my skin smelt like it had gone rotten and I had to wait for the aroma to fade! Yeuch! I remember 20 years ago when this was one of THE fragrances to wear; I was sad because I simply couldn't. It was lovely on everyone else!

are all the versions of the classic Chloe counterfeit now? I can still find it but the ingredients look different than the original.

This edt is so shamelessly dated--and I love it for that very reason. Close your eyes and imagine Stevie Nicks' lace get-up swirling about you. This is what I would imagine her air to smell like.

A ton of memories came flooding back at first spray. I could smell my mother's beautiful dresses, the ones I used to get into and play dress up. I could smell the beautiful women of my childhood, seeming so sophisticated, fashionable, and regal. They were the women I anxiously aspired to be.

I can't put my finger on what element makes this fragrance smell so dated, aside from the fact that it does not smell fruity or vanillic as most scents do today. The tuberose and lilac come to the forefront and make no plans of leaving anytime soon. Come to think of it, they don't leave for several hours. The peach lends a fleshy-scented quality which leaves quickly and the carnation and ylang-ylang give the fragrance a spicy kick. After several hours, the musk and sandalwood contribute to a floral-tinged incense quality.

An aside, for those of you who want to pick up a bottle of the original formula edt, know that it can be purchased cheap ($20) at Marshall's.

I used to loathe this scent back in the day, but I was young and at the time preferred oriental scents. Things have changed...
I was admiring a coworkers scent and it turned out to be the dreaded Chloe, I was in raptures over the smooth creamy tuberose/white floral bouquet and immediately went through two bottles, enjoying every moment.
I am saddened that the powers that be decided to rebrand the name and retire this particular scent and am now in the process of tracking down some bottles to keep.

Shame this was discontinued, it has a nice warm, heavy aroma the new chloe doesnt have as much character

I went to a christmas bazar and won this perfume i was so excited when i got home i sparyed it on and it was TERRIBLE!!!! i hate it but my grandma loves it

I love Chloe! The scent is fresh and clean.

The thrill of many perfumes are going as the companies are being taken over by corporations who are trying to make all perfumes the same. There is a reaction. If everyone who is disappointed in a new bottle of an old favourite complains, then maybe "they" will take note!

Its a shame they retired the "old" version of this perfume. I loved the richness of "Chloe"- so many things were going on at once, yet they all worked so well together. It was one of those seamless 70's scents that emphasized the harmony of all of the notes together instead of highlighting any one note. I will have to use my tiny bottle of this sparingly.

I had it twice the old one. I loved it. I wasn't thrilled to learn that it was a favourite of the Ayatollah Khomeini!

My Mom wore this alot when I was very small. It still makes me think of her wool dress suits she wore to work. This is a real woman scent! It is stron so you dont need much. The aldehydes really stand out in this one. Chloe changes over the day and is one of those you scents you will leave on whatever you wear or rub against! Sexy!

Chloé was the first fragrance I got from a boyfriend. He gave it to me because he thought it smelled so good on his previous girlfrind (!?) Not a very good start for a relationship with the perfume (or boyfriend - it didn't last very long). Anyway, I would like to try it again. I remember it was far to loud for me at that time. But so was also Anais Anais, that I like now. I will definitely get some kind of sample on this to evaluate this flower explosion again.

so far the worst perfume I've ever had !!
it is too heavy .....makes u feel depressed when u wear it.....

It's an interesting scent and a bit heavy but I got compliments when I used to wear it.

In den 70ern mochte ich diesen Duft sehr.
Einige Jahre später konnte ich ihn nicht mehr riechen.

In the 70th I liked this smell very much. Some years later I could not smell him any more.

I may have tried a very old, even spoiled bottle... When testing, it was a classic, deep scent, but it turned into something thrilling bad, really. although I love classic scents from the beginning of the 20th century, and this is from 1975....

Powdery, creamy peach and tuberose, comfortable yet a bit strong.

An tuberose note to the extreme where you either like it or hate it. May smell outdated to some but all in all a great perfume creation not to mention the memories it will evoke on those who wore it during their glamorous years....

I used to love this one. I tried it again a few years latter. What happened? The thrill is gone.
