Chloe was presented in 1975 by the House of Karl Lagerfeld. It won the Fragrance Foundation Award for Packaging. The sculpted and frosted calla lily stopper and spherical glass bottle are wrapped in delicate peach and white print. The flacon was designed by Joe Messina.
So what does it smell like? It is a floral fragrance made up of 178 oils and rare essences dominated by a tuberose top note and blended with rose, lily of the valley, jonquil, Cormoroan ylang ylang, coriander, Bulgarian rose, iris, sandalwood, honeysuckle, Grasse jasmine, and orange blossom. On my skin, I could really smell the lily of the valley and jonquil notes of this, mixed in with jasmine and iris, very pretty fragrance. But on paper, it smells dated and like a musty old dried bouquet of muguet and Bulgarian rose flowers that someone has left behind say at a funeral or wedding, your choice.
In 1992, a new Chloe scent appeared, Chloe Narcisse. It was created by IFF. Chloe Narcisse is a floral perfume dominated by daffodil. The perfume is very feminine, sweet, but with a bitter note. It is very intense, so be careful about the amount you use. The top notes include peach, pineapple, sweet orange blossom and delicate violet. The heart is made of gardenia, carnation, jasmine and rose. Cedar, sandalwood, vanilla and musk are in the base.
In 1995 another flanker came on the scene, Chloe Innocence, a Floral Green fragrance for women. The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson. Top notes are bergamot and water hyacinth; middle notes are jasmine, violet, honeysuckle and rose; base notes are iris, cedar, vetiver and musk.

In 2005 there was a revival of Chloe in the form of a limited edition scent called Chloe Collection 2005. The fragrance is floral-fruity, for daily use. The main notes are: passion fruit, pear, tuberose, moist gardenia, tuberose, moist wood, birch, musk. Chloe Collection 2005 was created by Clement Gavarry and Carlos Benaim.
Launched in 2006, Chloe Fleur de Narcisse is the new Chloe revisitation dedicated to the delicate and feminine narcissus flower. Unlike the Chloe Narcisse, this fragrance is fresher. It gives out more of the narcissus blossom and less of the leaves. The bitter nuance is milder and the entire composition is balmy and luscious, gourmand even. The nose behind this fragrance is Anne Flipo.
After great success with Chloe and its successors, the house of Chloe is presenting a new collection of three fragrances which arrived on the market in February 2010. The collection was named Chloe Eau de Fleurs and it encompasses Neroli, Capucine and Lavande packed in elegant glass flacons with a silver stopper.
