by Chloé
Chloé Narcisse is a bold, warm, and intensely feminine floral fragrance that stands out with its powerful presence and vintage character. It opens with a vibrant burst of fruity notes—peach, apricot, pineapple, and orange blossom—creating a sweet yet slightly synthetic top note that can feel overwhelming at first. This transitions into a rich bouquet of white flowers including narcissus, carnation, gardenia, and jasmine, all warmed by spices, vanilla, balsamic tolu balsam, and sandalwood. The dry-down reveals a soft, creamy, slightly powdery vanilla and musk base, giving an elegant, luxurious finish. It is not subtle or understated—this perfume is a statement, with strong sillage and remarkable longevity, easily filling a room and lasting well into the next day. While it's especially beloved in cooler seasons like autumn and winter, and highly praised for its opulent, retro style, its intensity means it demands confidence and careful use. The scent is a sensory journey: initially striking and bold, it calms into a deeply resonant, sweet-spicy floral confection that many love for its unique retro charm. It's unforgettable, offering a dreamlike, narcotic experience that feels both decadent and deeply feminine, reminiscent of early '90s powerhouses like Tresor or Estee Lauder's Spellbound.
