Chloé Absolu de Parfum

This is a deeply rosy fragrance with a smooth, warm depth provided by patchouli and vanilla, resulting in a refined, intimate, and long-lasting scent. It stands as a richer, more sophisticated evolution of the original Chloé EDP, offering a slightly earthier and more cohesive bouquet than its predecessor. The rose note is dominant and pure, with a clean, florals-on-the-veranda quality that feels both elegant and inviting. The aroma evolves subtly: initially bright and heady, then deepening into a polished, slightly soapy floral with a delicate sweetness and a creamy vanillic warmth. Over time, the fragrance settles into a refined, powdery, and luscious drydown that blends rose with underlying patchouli and vanilla, creating a scent that feels reminiscent of an elegant vintage perfume or a fine luxury soap. Though not exceptionally complex or unexpected, its quality is consistent and carries a reassuring presence throughout the day and night, particularly in cooler months. While some find it slightly linear or overly soapy, many appreciate its clean elegance and durability on both skin and clothing.
