Before I can even pen a word about the scent of this parfum, I found myself having pondered it for more than 3 hours now, since a light spritz of golden liquid hit my skin.

It’s a Rose. Everything calculated, it dries down to a sugary confection of rose.

And there, this particular EDP dies on me, because I’m not one for rose scents. And no matter how much I try fall in love with it, I could never write a poetic entry of it because I simply don’t feel it.

Unfortunately, the packaging of the scent is far more interesting to me than the scent in itself.

It smells like a cool summer evening spent walking down the Champs-Élysées, in flat bohemian sandals and a flowing light coloured dress of peach? Beige? Capped puff sleeves and soft lace trims to the arms and the skirt. The quintessential Chloé Girl, as exacted by its 2006 and 2007 S/S RTW collections, mostly Phoebe Philo and some Yvan Mispelaere.
