Chloé (Parfums Lagerfeld)

This vintage Chloé by Karl Lagerfeld is a deeply feminine, complex floral chypre with a profound sense of nostalgia and timeless elegance. Its opening presents a rich, resinous blend of aldehydes, amber, benzoin, and oakmoss, giving it an old-school, almost theatrical presence. Over time, the fragrance reveals a lush heart of tuberose, honeysuckle, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and peach, deepened by a smooth, creamy coconut and powdery orris base. The development is seamless—warm, buttery, and sensual—evoking memories of vintage glamour, perhaps a sun-drenched summer evening or a late autumn night on a Parisian balcony. The sillage is bold and impressive, lasting with moderate to strong diffusion, even though the longevity is moderate to very long for a vintage style fragrance. On skin, it transforms into a soft, enveloping cloud of white florals and woody musk, making it ideal for evening wear. The performance is heavy and persistent, clinging to fabric and skin in a way that modern perfumes rarely achieve.
