I discovered Chloe shortly after the launch of the fragrance in early 2008. As a true profuma, I am always interested in what the market has to offer and so I went determinedly to the perfume department of the Carschhaus/Düsseldorf. Right at the entrance Chloe was decorated. I was spontaneously attracted by the pale pink design of the packaging and the unusual bottle. Once sprayed on the wrist, I heard a wonderfully fresh, yet luxurious scent. Rose petals are subtly perceived in the background, accompanied by fresh accords of freesia, magnolia and lychee. With Chloe, perfumers Michel Almairac and Amandine Clerc-Marie have created a unique perfume, the perfume of a new generation that leaves everything heavy and overloaded behind. Chloe became my signature fragrance for several years and I still wear it every spring.

Did you notice it too? Eternity/Made in USA smells much nicer with lily, narcissus and violet in the heart note and subtle sweetness through heliotrope in the drydown. Eternity/Made in France, Spain or Monaco is much more discordant with harsh sage/freesia notes throughout the scent. The European version unfortunately reminds me of disinfectants, only the American version could win with me

Wow, what a successful new fragrance! Gucci continues on its unconventional path, offering us an unusual, mildly spicy fragrance that is pleasantly different from the sugary gourmand mainstream of our day. The mild camomile note is in the foreground throughout the fragrance and becomes spicier in the base through musk and woods. Not for everyone but "Memoire d'une odeur" will surely find its lovers. Has classic and vintage potential.

Typical Fruitchouli fragrance of the 2010s. Floral-citric start, in the drydown the fragrance becomes a little warmer, reminiscent at times of Allure by Chanel, but lighter, less expressive. That's exactly what the fragrance lacks: Originality and expressiveness. Everything's been there before: The name Joy (even at Dior in J'adore in Joy), the scent structure, the bottle... It's a pity that traditional houses like Dior don't dare to bring out real signature scents anymore. Fragrances that polarize and have just been composed against the Maintream. How about a multi-layered bitter-spicy perfume in the style of the late 80s or a purely flowery composition (without the omnipresent sugary sweetness)? These are a few suggestions for Dior's marketing department. Maybe someone will read it...;-)
