Are there two chloe perfumes

You have a point in the new one smelling like fabric softener! And taking into account that such products often take their cue from previous fragrance bestsellers, my references take new validation in my mind so thanks for confirming a hunch!

Bela, I think it was especially overdone at some point in its course: I distinctly remember several acquaintances wearing it.

Some overapplying sadly. I so agree that there have been so many that have provided such a visceral response: for some reason after a certain point in history fragrances -especially designer fragrances- became something of an everyday indlugence for just about anyone contrasted to before, when it was rather an occassion that demanded one wore perfume, leaving the rest of the time one with only deodorant and perhaps a splash of light hesperidic Cologne.

You're not losing much by not testing the newest one ;-. Jen, thank you for a most interesting comment! The bottle has been given much attention and it looks and feels expensive, solid, hefty. The formula however mustn't have cost as much :- It always made a negative impression to me the fact that fragrance advertising never used black models. There were so many gorgeous-looking black women models and I don't recall one single non-celebrity fragrance choosing one as their spokeperson!

Do you? Weird, isn't it? Bordering on racist. Asian models were not used outside the Asian fragrance market either. I hope that attitude soon changes. Oh dear, original Chloe doesn't get much love here. I used to wear one dab of parfum back in the day. I felt so sophisticated. It didn't hurt that the crystal bottle was striking in design. Yes, bottles used to influence my choice of fragrances. I have no desire to revisit Chloe or the flankers. Without sniffing, I can tell they're so not me anymore.

No, dear Iris, it's not a badly-made perfume! The original that is. A little loud perhaps and so many we knew perhaps overapplied I can think of one, myself. The bottle was indeed very memorable! I can understand how you have moved on, though. How life goes on and sometimes things of the past remain there: in the past. Helg, I think Armani is one of the few that has used a black woman for their fragrances, Beyonce,was used for Armani's Diamonds. Probably a more interesting model choice though is Tom Ford's choice of Erykah Badu for his up coming fragrance.

Good grief this man is love hate with his advertising loved the Black Orchid ads, hated Tom Ford for men with a passion, and rather loving that he has chosen Erykah Badu for his next fragrance. You know who should get some credit though for going beyond the usual model: Avon. Selma Hayak has been the face for many of their fragrances and Jennifer Hudson was used recently for another. Still there is a huge deficit in the variety of women chosen to represent fragrances or modeling in general.

Jen, true about Beyonce! She is trully gorgeous!! Erykah Badu is an excellent and intriguing choice, however till I see it, I am a little hesitant: I just can't see the two of them clicking, somehow Kudos to Avon then: those two ladies are very pretty and worthy of being the faces of fragrances.

Thanks for mentioning it Well, I love the old chole! Great sillage and that is something I do not get alot because of my bad circulation. Sad day for me. LJ, I didn't know that about bad circulation! Sorry about that, yet interesting info. I'm with lady jicky--I feel a bit sad at the passing of old Chloe, though my bottle has gone untouched for years.

It's a memento of its era, that's for sure. Can't say I feel the slightest desire to sniff the new. I understand what you're saying M. It did mark the era, it was so popular at one point!

I think many will lament its passing Even if some of us have been subjected to too much of it. I absolutely adore Chloe and have worn it for about 17 years.

I have tried to find alternatives but perfumes that smell wonderful on other people don't suit me. Now that the original Chloe is gone forever more I'm left searching for an alternative.

Any suggestions?? I'm a book seller from Ebay that found a Chloe vintage eau de toilette bottle in a state sale and got here trying to get some information about it to sell it on-line since I know that a lot of perfume makers are trying to copy the original scent and for what I found out it can be done on old perfumes. This one is almost full and believe me I think my entire house is smelling like Chloe.

I'm getting flashbacks from the 80's! I think I'm going to have to go and try to find some Anais Anais by Cacharel also the old one before they change the formula Just got my first small bottle. My big mouth stroke again Anon, veeeeery late in seeing this, so sorry. I don't think I have a suggestion for this other than trying the usual tuberose recs: Fracas, Amarige, Carnal Flower, Tubereuse Criminelle latter two are harder to get but perfectly wonderful. L, if it weren't that I love you so, I'd be scratching my head now, but I will test it once more for your sake!

My goodness, I had no thought in my mind that I would find a forum regarding the New Chloe where everyone disliked it. I personally adore it, for years I have searched and searched for the right fragrance for me, I've been through countless brands and noted that the scent wears off almost immediately it must be my skin But the New Chloe was the first to last all day and when I went to sleep at night I could still smell it.

I think the scent is beautiful, it's not to flowery or fruity, it's just undescribably feminine and that's what makes it so beautiful. On the plus side I'm almost glad that it's not for everyone, I've finally found something that suits me and I won't have to worry about running into people wearing the same fragrance :-P Give it another spin, forget about the old Chloe's for a moment, and try to appreciate this one for what it is - sophisticated, feminine and beautiful -Jennifer.

There are few scents I wear. Classic Chloe was my go to when I felt extra feminine. A drop lasted the day, even smelled richer as the day wore on. What a terrible surprise on Christmas when I opened the new bottle and smelled something like an over-alcoholed Hollywood trollop. Back to Saks it went. Just terrible. Jennifer, thanks for stopping by and commenting and of course you're perfectly entitled to liking what you like! Don't mind us! If it suits you so well, by all means, go ahead and enjoy.

You're making me want to give it another go myself Anon, the old Chloe was a typhoon, but I found I liked a faint whiff of it caught from a distance. I can see how the new one might disappoint a fan of the former. Sorry about that and thanks for commenting I used this previously in 80's but felt it had lost its quality smell.

Tried when I went to ulta and thought I would try after many years and discussing with the sales clerk. I have been using this perfume for years now. I always go back to it for any occasion. If you care about your scent lasting throughout the day this is the perfume for you! This perfume smells really good. When you first put it on it seems loud, but once you give it some time it actually smells different then when you first spray it.

This is my go to perfume. I absolutely love it. It's floral and sweet but not too much and has a clean lingering. My only problem is the bottle. The design of the bottle is very pretty but the lid oxidizes and gets a tarnished look in less than a year. I like to display my perfumes so it bothers me every time I look at it. Couple that with the ribbon looking less than pristine after a period of time.

Eventually, I have take it down and stick it in the drawer until I buy a new one. I had a lady literally follow me back in the store to ask what fragrance I was wearing, I love this. I love this perfume. It's so fruity floral. It lasts pretty long. And You can really smell the honey note. This perfume smells so perfect for the spring and summer time. The perfume smells beautiful. So, I have always loved this scent on my sister for yrs. I received a bottle as a gift and I love it so much on me this is now my signature scent as well.

My kids love this scent on me, my Beau loves this scent on me, even strangers love this scent on me lol! I will preface this by saying I have the kind of PH that almost everything smells good on me, even if I'm not crazy about the actual scent, but this perfume is superior. The scent lasts for days! I wore it on a hoodie once and my hoodie smelled like Chloe for a week! My Beau requests I only wear this perfume when I come over because he loves the scent on his sheets when I leave.

This perfume isn't overly sweet, but it's feminine and strong. It isn't too mature, so women of any ages can wear this. All you need to know is this is a must have in any perfume collection!

Well worth the investment, so buy the big bottle you won't regret it! The heart is a bouquet of blooming florals, from rose to cherry blossom, black currant and peach, while base notes come in the form of rice which leads into white musk cedar glow. Drench yourself in mystery with elegance… You can be as delicate or sultry as your heart desires.

Reason enough to always carry this treasure around wherever you go. This floral, feminine scent pairs powdery notes with hints of spice to create something that both soothes and tantalizes.

Looking for a perfume that has more depth than your average, a little bit of mystery but also confidence and elegance? Made with natural ingredients that will bring out your most precious self, this fragrance is all about giving off the attitude of love.

This scent will embrace you with a floral windy muskiness perfect for the fall inside your home or outside in nature. This fruity-floral scent has a bit of oriental flair for seductive appeal, making it perfect for any special occasion. The rose base provides an elegant backdrop to the tart citrus notes, while white amber lends depth and sophistication. It is created to inspire women to embrace their natural beauty, be true to themselves and live life to the fullest.

But if you know what kind of scents you like and go well with your body chemistry, this guide will make it a little easier to find the one that suits the best. First and foremost, you need to figure out if you prefer floral, woody, fruity, or oriental notes. Then, narrow down your list further by making a selection of the flowers, fruits, spices and other ingredients that you like or dislike. And start from there. For the modern woman who loves a unique scent that combines fruits like sweet mirabelle plum and earthy notes, the Nomade Absolu will be your best friend on your endless adventures.

For the outdoorsy woman who needs some freshness and enjoys citrus notes like bergamot, verbena and green grapefruit, look nowhere else but with Chloe Fleur de Parfum. What you get is not a single flower but an explosion of flowers like freesia, lily-of-the-valley, rose, magnolia, and peony that is not overpowering but perfect to wear every day.

The ingredients in the perfume have recognizable notes that are not too sweet or heavy so as to attract attention yet sophisticated enough to make an impression.

The performance of a perfume is different for everyone. The miniatures are normally a set of 4 scents, 5ml each.
