Chloe Rose Tangerine by Chloe

Rose Tangerine is another release from Chloe which came out in 2020. I purchased a bunch of different samples from this brand to test out and review for the site and was intrigued by this one based on the name. How does it actually smell? Does it last long? Is it worth a try?

My Full Review

Here’s how Chloe describes it: A fragrance with a luminous character around a modern fruity accord. While the sparkling tangerine and blackcurrant bring a breath of freshness, the iconic rose adds grace and femininity.

The opening spray, is quite likeable to me. The tangerine and blackcurrant have a sharp bite to them, not a sweet sort of perfume here, more clean floral and freshness.

The blackcurrant takes a back seat, rather quickly. The sharpness tones down and this becomes rosier, soapier, and not the same type of rosewater scent found in L’eau. The blend feels kind of bitter and greenish in the opening minutes.

As I get further along, this is light and still decent. It’s a rose and cedar freshness with a citrus zest. I don’t get much development beyond that, maybe some amber, but not to the point where it stands out on me. 

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

The first hour or two, this one is pretty moderate while still being very noticeable. Projects from the skin in the 4-6 foot range for that duration. Then, it’ll move into the 1-3 foot range for the rest of the way.

A lot of the time, it will be very close to the skin. 

On my skin, Rose Tangerine lasts a little more than 5 hours in total. The performance wasn’t too great and I wish I could squeeze a few more hours of wear out of it. Kind of a weak point.

Seasonally, this is a spring and summer wear all the way. That’s when it’s going to shine and this isn’t going to get much play in the colder months.

But, it is quiet and simple enough to be worn in a wide variety of outings without issue. It’s not going to be a bold nightlife wear or a formal one or anything like that. Outdoors would be nice, casually, maybe to work would be appropriate for some people.

Overall Impressions of Rose Tangerine

Overall, do I like Chloe Rose Tangerine? I like parts of it, but it’s pretty forgettable overall. I do like that tangerine and blackcurrant opening act, which is very short-lived. 

After that, it becomes rose-focused like the other perfumes in the series, but not really as good. Very greenish stem with the rose petals adding the rest of the floral aspect. Plus, this one does have a bitterness which comes through in the middle. 

I don’t hate that part, but it just doesn’t have the same appeal. This is also a pretty simple fragrance on the whole.

The performance is light and just enough to be a viable purchase for those who like it. Personally, I think it’s okay and definitely not one of the best from Chloe.
