Chloé L'Eau Eau de Toilette

Chloé L'Eau Eau de Toilette, launched in 2019, is a light, fresh take on the house's signature rose. It is floral above all; a third of people also find it green, woody, musky, amber-like or citrusy, which tells you it is a rose surrounded by small, quiet touches rather than one big idea.

It opens with rose, litchi and grapefruit together, the fruit adding a watery sweetness and the grapefruit a slightly bitter, dewy brightness. The heart pairs damask rose with magnolia, which lends a clean, lemony-floral freshness and keeps the rose from feeling heavy or old-fashioned. The base is soft and skin-like: musk and a hint of amber for warmth, cedar and oakmoss for a gentle, dry grounding.

Most wearers report moderate longevity and a moderate to close trail, so it stays near the skin. It is voted overwhelmingly for daytime and mainly for spring and summer. This makes it a natural choice for work, warm weather and anyone who wants a rose that feels fresh rather than romantic.
