L'Eau de Chloe is a refreshing, feminine floral chypre with a distinct green and herbal character. It opens with a crisp, slightly medicinal citrus and aldehydes, evoking frozen lemonade or fresh-cut grass. Over time, this gives way to a delicate rose water and green floral heart, balanced by a subtle, dry patchouli and woody base. The scent is clean, elegant, and subtly powdery, reminiscent of a freshly laundered linen cloth or a quiet, sun-dappled garden after rain. Longevity is moderate—around 4 to 6 hours—with a close-to-skin projection. While it performs best in spring and summer, many users report it comes alive in cooler weather, revealing deeper blueberry, medicinal, or chypre-like nuances. The fragrance is known for its variable projection across skin chemistries—from being faint and intimate to faintly resembling a soapy laundry scent, particularly in the opening. It is frequently compared to Sisley Soir de Lune in texture, but with a lighter, more airy quality.
