The original Chloé eau de parfum delivers a hint of rose along with peony, freesia, and lily of the valley. It's a clean, sophisticated scent that's certainly romantic.
This woody floral is a classic scent (it's been around since 1983), that has rose in its top and middle notes surrounded by iris, violet, and lily of the valley.
This eau de parfum's rose notes are topped with cognac and blackberry, with a little touch of warmth and spice.
Rose petals and mandarin complement each other in this light eau de parfum. The scent is inspired by the Amalfi seaside cliffs, mixing green tea, lemon terrace notes, and sugar to create a wonderful scent.
