Posted by Robin on 11 December 2009 39 Comments

Chloe Eaux de Fleurs

Chloé will introduce a new trio of fresh florals in February under the name Eau de Fleurs:

Eau de Fleurs Neroli is by perfumer Aliénor Massenet and is described as clear and clean. Additional notes include clary sage, tonka bean, white musk and amber. [Additional notes include mandarin, orange, rosemary, neroli, peony and cedar.]

Eau de Fleurs Lavande is by perfumer Domitille Bertier and is "a deep-purple, slightly woody lavender". [The notes feature bergamot, violet, tea, lavender, iris, musk, vetiver and ambergris.]

Eau de Fleurs Capucine is from perfumer Louise Turner, and is "a green, delicate yet untamed nasturtium". [The notes include bergamot, lemon, neroli, galbanum, sage, juniper berry, rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, ambroxan and musk.]

Chloé Eau de Fleurs Neroli, Lavande and Capucine will be available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette, 105€. (quotes via osmoz, additional information via marieclaire.fr)

Update: notes listed above in brackets are via Cosmetics Business.

    I wonder if Kenzo will jump on the lawsuit bandwagon?

      Do they not already have a serie. I thought that of Eaux de Fleurs were several versions, but I am not sure.

      Most sincerely doubt that Kenzo — or anybody — owns the trademark to “Eau de Fleurs”. But if they do I suppose we’ll find out!

        Here is a link: http://www.douglas.de , then you go to the link on the right “markenshops” an then on the left side “Eaux de Fleurs”. They describe that there is a trilogy of three Eau de Toilettes.

          It is not my day, I will stop now: on the right “markenshops” and then “Kenzo”, an then on the left ……….

          I don’t understand — that doesn’t mean they’ve trademarked the words “Eau de Fleurs” (?)

        Oh no, I’m sure it’s not trademarked. But still, a trio of Eaux de Fleurs just a year after another house did the same thing? It’s too much to be coincidental. I meant that more tongue-in-cheek; it seems the lines that can stand on their own merit feel less need to be so territorial.

          Gosh, I don’t know. I mean, to call a series “flower waters” doesn’t strike me as specific enough to care…and the variations on the phrase “Eau de Fleur”/”Eaux de Fleurs” is already in a gajillion other perfume names.

            I found the names of the Kenzo Eaux de Fleurs: Eau de Fleur de thé, Eau de Fleur de soi and Eau de Fleur de magnolia.

      • parfumliefhebber says:

        Maybe because it is written with “x”: “Eaux”?

          isn’t “eaux” the plural of “eau”?

    Well, I don’t know. They all seem to go in series. I will stay with at my normal Chloe.

      (Expandable) series are the new thing. These are much more spendy than I’d have expected though.

        So true. With the normal Chloe I mean the Chloe Eau de Parfum from 2007, in the riffled bottle.

    None of these sound like they would float my boat, but I suppose when the time comes I can give them a try. I was somehow hoodwinked by the latest incarnation of Chloe into thinking I liked it. Ended up giving away my bottle. So I don’t have much faith in anything else they put out. Still do have a fondness for the original Chloe, however. (Which I think Divine smells like.)

      I miss the original Chloe, so I’ll have to check out Divine.

        Divine doesn’t have that deep-orange vivacity to my nose, but it is a floral beauty. The originai Chloe has more of an ’80s exuberance to it, even though it was composed in the ’70s. Divine has a more restrained, sophisticated personality, but perhaps that’s just because I’m dabbing it from a sample vial rather than spraying lavishly as I used to with Chloe edp back in the day.

          To me, Divine definitely seems more polished. Which isn’t to say that Chloe smelled cheap, because it didn’t. If I had to nail it down, I would say Chloe smelled deeper, and Divine is a little more lush and bright.

          All that said, when I wear Divine, people exclaim, “Chloe!” I’ve given up on correcting them.

            Exactly!– Chloe (the 20th-century original) didn’t smell cheap. “Ebullient” might be a good word for it. Its personality seems more American than French to me– but that’s a vague description, even meaningless since it relies on stereotypes.

            Anyway. No one has yet mistaken Divine for Chloe on me. The flowers do sing out in both, though.

      I didn’t love Chloe either. But gosh, everyone else sure did!

    I don’t know a thing about Chloe, agree with the “expendible” remark, but I am still very curious to smell the nasturtium eau.

      Yes, that’s the one that interests me most too.

      Yes, me too, since nasturtiums have such a funny little aroma.

      I’ve not tried Chloe, though I remember the name. The nasturtium one interests me, too. I love the plant — the way it looks, smells, and tastes!

    Yes I think they are great as well, went to Harrods on Saturday and tried them out as my friend was getting his fragrance. I think they work well on my skin even though I’m a male…

    I tried them today, and I also like the neroli. But I am amazed how “cool” it smells, given the quite “warm” notes that are listed? It reminds me of Bulgari Omnia Amethyste, although they have no notes whatsoever in common.

      It didn’t sound very warm to me, but still haven’t tried them! If it’s like Omnia Amethyste, not likely it’ll be a favorite of mine 🙂

        I was thinking of the tonka bean – didn’t notice it at all. Or the amber and the cedar. I was hoping for something slightly sweeter, but no such thing.

    I sniffed these a few days ago. I thought they were great. Capucine was my favorite by a long shot, though I would also wear the Lavande. The Neroli was wonderful too, but not my style. Capucine is now on my FB list.

    I tried Neroli, which didn’t come as floral as I had expected. Giving it another shot today.
