Fleur de Parfum by Chloe

Chloe Fleur de Parfum is one of the various fragrances from the brand that I ordered samples of a few months ago. I’ve been working my way through the list, in order to have full reviews of each on the site. This one was released in 2016 as a flanker to the main Chloe perfume. How does it smell? When should it be worn? Is it worth a try?

My Full Review

Fleur kicks things off with a very citrus heavy aroma. Both lemon and lemon verbena come through, with the latter bring a bit of a greenish spicy scent to the mix, which also includes grapefruit.

So, obviously this one comes across as super bright and upbeat. But, it doesn’t just stop there. After some of the citrus calms down, post-initial spray, you will get be able to distinguish some of the sharpness to a quickly fading blackcurrant note and a touch of peach.

Actually, 20 minutes in the is light a citrus peach floral blend, that will gradually morph into a citrus and rose perfume. The remaining citrus is mostly the verbena, which allows this one to have more of a distinct smell versus some others, and the other fruits are essentially just a mass impression of fruit.

The transition will come towards being more floral, about and hour or two into the wear. Cherry blossom is present, but the rose is what is the real focus, like the vast majority of Chloe fragrances. It still holds on to a feeling of coldness that’s present in that bright beginning.

Final dry down very rosy and the background verbena and citrus keeps that brightness going. All of this is surrounded by a light mist of musk and maybe some cedar freshness.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

This sillage here is pretty light to moderate. The first hour or so is a bit above average with how it projects and any scent trail it leaves behind. That citrus does a good job at helping this one pop off of the skin.

After that, it’s going to be a lighter and more intimate kind of perfume.

On my skin, Fleur seems to stay in the 5-6 hour range, with that last hour being particularly light and pretty faint. However, it still is there.

Seasonally, this one pretty obviously fits in to the warm sunny days of spring and summer. The citrus, the florals, it all works for that climate.

It’s also got plenty of versatility within that timeframe. It’s super safe, works for all age groups, and has a nice mass appeal. I’d probably want to go with something else for dating and nightlife during spring and summer. Outside of that, this should pretty much be fine.

Overall Impressions of Chloe Fleur

Overall, do I like Chloe Fleur de Parfum? I do. While the performance is mid-range, the smell itself is actually quite good.

Very close to the original Chloe, but softer and with a twist. I like the peach, citrus, and cherry blossom aspects of this perfume. The verbena is a nice use of that note and I like that the blackcurrant takes a step back rather quickly.

The back half with the rose, musk, and cedar is much of what you get with the rest of this series. Though, the citrus helps this one maintain a distinct aroma, that’s very pleasant.

Fleur de Parfum is worth a try. It’s pretty simple, has a delightful aroma, and a softness that may be appealing to some. Probably not a must have for most people, but I think most would enjoy this one.
