Love by Chloé

For me, this is a dream come true: finding it sealed in full 2025. I took the risk, and it was worth it—the fragrance is in perfect condition. It’s floral, talcum-powdery, clean, and refined. At first, there’s a green note that turns slightly bitter due to the African orange. In the heart, lilacs and iris make it powdery, softened by hyacinth and heliotrope. As it dries down, it smells like fine soap or elegant incense, which I absolutely love. It’s intense, projects well, and leaves a trail, though it fades significantly once it settles. The bottle is sophisticated—a 1970s feminine flask that evokes a determined, elegant, vintage woman. I agree with the previous review: it’s similar to Gucci Guilty Pour Femme; they share notes, and the Gucci bottle seems inspired by this one. It could be a perfect substitute, just in a more modern version.

A powdery floral from head to toe. I’ve realized I’m obsessed with lilac and violet flowers, iris… For me, this is an autumn/winter floral; it’s not sweet at all. It has a beautiful powdery quality and seems perfect for these winter days when you feel heavy and don’t want something sweet or overwhelming. People say it smells like an old lady, but I don’t know what kind of old ladies they’ve met; there are perfumes that are all the rage now that smell much more stale than this. I’m 25, and it smells like a sweet, elegant girl on me, zero invasive; the more I wear it, the more I love it. I had a sample of the original, tried the Divain version, and pff, it feels like it’s halfway there, like a watered-down version of the original. A YouTuber recommended the Tertia Sensu version, saying they’re identical; when I buy it, I’ll edit this to say if it’s faithful or not.

@Lux, thanks a million, I’ll take a look to see how it goes 👀

There are few things in perfumery more cliché than saying a perfume ‘smells like grandma’; it’s poor etiquette and a lack of vocabulary. If by that you mean Love Chloé has a vintage vibe, then yes, it does. It’s not a bestseller and won’t become mass-market. Personally, it would be my signature scent if it weren’t discontinued. I love it, but I won’t pay €200 for a 30ml bottle. I’ll treasure my 50ml miniature for very special occasions. I tried the Pull & Bear dupe, but it doesn’t smell the same and lacks the quality. It’s a perfect bouquet of purple flowers covered in rice powder. Sweet, perhaps cloying in very hot climates. It lasts long and projects well. When I wear it, I feel calm. I enjoy it while it lasts, but I don’t doubt I’ll miss it when it’s gone.

Beautiful subtlety of pink pepper and powdery, elegant purple flowers. As always, the pink pepper-currant combination with violets works great. A spontaneous, natural elegance. An aroma that reminds me of makeup 💄 but light and oxygenated. Many of us miss it terribly 🙂 I admit that from this house, the Atelier de Fleurs or Chloé variants work better for me than the original itself, which, while beautiful, perhaps feels simpler to me than the others.

Another day I felt like a lottery winner for snagging a 50ml bottle at my neighborhood drugstore. My sister had hers years ago and adored it, just like violets, my favorite flower, but lately they make me gag; that violet powder just upsets my stomach. There are way too many purple flowers for me, though I admit it smells elegant, refined, and mature, with that powdery sweetness that feels a bit overwhelming. Longevity and sillage are top-notch. I’ll have to pass it on; someone else will love it more, especially since it’s discontinued and a pain to find.

The Sensu house in Spain has an identical clone, identical, identical! It took me forever to find something similar worth it, and finally, I found it. Chloe Love is my perfume, it’s me, it’s my scent. It’s a marvel. Here’s the reference for the Sensu clone: Item M71TSCLL.

Love Chloe is a beautiful floral suitable for any season, a true all-rounder. Yet, thanks to its delicate and ethereal side, it’s also perfect for romantic and whimsical moments. It differs from its brother, Intense, which with its pepper and orange notes is more volatile, light, sparkly, and less intense. This one, with iris and vanilla, has a denser musk, more for winter, heavier but elegant and retro, though both are modern and wearable. They project well without being loud. You can really taste the rice and crunchy vanilla that gives it body and sweetness. Gorgeous for pairing with flowy dresses in spring or autumn. I don’t know why they discontinued the Love line at Chloe; it’s one of the brand’s best.

This review is a love declaration to this beautiful perfume. Once it settles, the scent is a balm of tranquility, purity, and cleanliness that stays in your olfactory memory forever. It’s one of the tenderest I’ve ever tried. I love its floral opening and how it settles with that wonderful dusting of talc and musk. It smells clean, undoubtedly, but never like neutral soap as many say. It’s a delicate, fine floral scent with amazing longevity. Adaptable to any age and occasion, it never clashes because, although potent, it’s not invasive. Wonderful, I never get tired of smelling it.

I bought this blindly for my mother because she loves powdery scents and the reviews here were good. However, after trying it, I regret it and only hope it doesn’t seem too overpowering and outdated to her like it does to me. It doesn’t smell like lipstick to me, but rather like cosmetic powders with notes of Oriental woods.

I fell irrevocably in love after a coworker gave me a sample she hated back in March-April 2011. I couldn’t afford it then, so I only used testers. It hurt when they discontinued it… A great love was gone, and I couldn’t have it. Now, with more financial freedom, I finally bought it online. Today I fell into its soft mist: it embraces me, envelops me, and lifts me to the clouds. Just on my wrists, I’m overwhelmed by its pure aroma. I know it’s not social for me; at 26, I’m not the typical profile. Still, my love is inevitable. I’ve fallen into its arms and hope to stay there for a long time. Talc, powder, lilacs, violets… Intense without being heavy. What do they say about smelling like grandma? I’ll be a young, original grandma who smells like delights.

It’s a fresh, powdery fragrance with that old makeup vibe and lots of lilac. It reminds me so much of the scent of classic violet candies.

It’s the best perfume I’ve ever used. I’m obsessed. It smells clean, feminine, and sensual without being cloying. You can wear it anytime, and everyone will say you smell amazing. It’s original, and I hope it never disappears.

A very rich, sweet powder of bergamot with a musk base. I didn’t detect any pepper, just scenes from an old vanity—women with high buns and heavy skirts. It’s refined, delicate, and very feminine. For Chloé, this love is soft, powdery, and delicately penetrating.

In a failed attempt to reconcile, I decided to wear it to work, and it was a mistake. I still can’t stand it, and we’re still not meant for each other. But I have to highlight its incredible longevity: I sprayed it yesterday at 8 AM, and today, before my shower, it still lingers like faint whispers. If you like it, you’re lucky; the quality is outstanding.
