Signature Gift Set
This Chloé Signature Gift Set is the one to reach for when you want the present to feel substantial. The scent is the familiar Chloé one and it is worth describing properly. Peony and lychee start it, the peony clean and cool, far closer to the real flower than to the way shampoo imitates it, the lychee sweet and watery and there mainly to stop the opening turning soapy. Freesia, rose, lily of the valley and magnolia follow and are worked together into a single soft impression, powdery and quite polite, with the magnolia lifting it slightly on something creamy and faintly tart. Cedarwood dries the base out and amber warms it, and between them they carry the flowers for far longer than a bouquet like this would manage on its own.
Inside are the 100ml Eau de Parfum, a 50ml body lotion and a 10ml spray. What makes it such a safe gift is that nobody dislikes it. It is a scent that reads as well put together rather than attention seeking, which suits a first serious bottle in your twenties as much as it suits someone who has worn it for years. Apply it lightly, a spray either side of the neck, and let it warm up for ten minutes before judging it, because the opening is the sharpest part and the part least like the rest. Mild weather and daylight hours flatter it most; in heat it can get a little loud.
Chloé was founded in Paris and counts 1952 as its beginning, the year Gaby Aghion made her first collection, with a first boutique in the city following in 1972. The name has covered ready to wear, bags and fragrance for decades, the perfume side starting in April 1975, and Chloé Nomade is the fragrance leading the range now. Chloé does not manufacture its own scents; they are produced under licence, and Coty includes Chloé in the licensed brands of its luxury division.
