Signature Gift Set
At 141.70 this is the dearer of the Chloé Signature Gift Set options we carry, and it is really meant for somebody who already knows they like the scent rather than somebody testing the water with it. Read the perfume from the bottom up and you can hear why it holds on: cedarwood, dry and faintly resinous, the smell of a pencil just put through a sharpener, with amber laid over it for warmth and a touch of sweetness. Sitting on that foundation are freesia, rose, lily of the valley and magnolia, kept deliberately blurred so that no single flower steps out in front, which gives the middle hours a powdery, rounded quality with a creamy, slightly tart edge from the magnolia. The first few minutes belong to peony and lychee, peony clean and cool, lychee juicy enough to keep the opening from going soapy.
The scent has been part of the range since 2008, long enough to have stopped being a trend and become a fixture, and that shows in how evenly it moves from one stage to the next. There is no sudden drop. Two sprays is plenty and three is too many, since the amber and cedarwood underneath will keep it present for hours whether you want them to or not. It is a daytime wear in mild weather, and the extra spend over the smaller sets makes sense when you are buying for someone who wears it constantly and is forever running low.
The house behind it is French and old enough to have a real history. Gaby Aghion designed the first Chloé collection in 1952, the date the company counts as its beginning, and twenty years later, in 1972, a first Paris boutique opened. Ready to wear, handbags and fragrance have all been part of the business, perfume since April 1975, and Chloé Nomade leads the range today. Production of the perfumes is handled under licence, with Coty naming Chloé as a licensed brand inside its luxury division.
