Fleur De Parfum

The Cherry Blossom Flanker, Rebuilt

Chloé Fleur de Parfum arrived in 2016 as Michel Almairac and Mylène Alran’s response to a request for a lighter, more floral take on the 2008 Eau de Parfum. They built it around verbena, cherry blossom, and a soft rice powder accord, with rose at the heart and a clean cedar musk base. Where the original Chloé reads romantic and slightly dense, Fleur de Parfum reads dewy and almost watercolour soft. It has since dropped out of Chloé’s main Signature line and become harder to find through official channels, though resale stock circulates. Our interpretation gives the composition a second life at proper concentration.

How It Smells

The opening is fresh and slightly tart, verbena giving a clean lemony green character with bergamot and grapefruit adding citrus sparkle. Within fifteen minutes the floral heart appears: cherry blossom takes the lead with a delicate almondy floral quality, rose contributes a clean fresh facet rather than a jammy depth, and a quiet black currant and peach add a faintly fruity sweetness. The base is the perfume’s signature divergence from the original. Rice powder gives a soft talc-like quality that distinguishes Fleur from every other Chloé flanker, white musk smooths the drydown, and a clean cedar provides a polished wood foundation. It reads laundry-fresh and spring-floral, polished in a quietly luxurious way.

The Notes

Top: verbena, bergamot, grapefruit.
Heart: cherry blossom, rose, black currant, peach.
Base: rice powder, white musk, cedar.

How Our Version Compares

Because Fleur de Parfum has been pulled from Chloé’s current Signature collection, sourcing fresh stock has become a hunt through department store remainders and online resellers, often at inflated prices. Our European Union production at 40 percent perfume oil concentration brings the composition back at proper density, with the verbena cherry blossom opening sparkling cleanly and the rice powder cedar base lasting well into the day.

Common Questions

Is the original really hard to find?
Yes. Chloé has pruned its catalogue significantly in recent years and Fleur de Parfum no longer appears in their main Signature line. Some retailers still carry remaining stock, but the supply is shrinking and prices are climbing.

How does it differ from the original Chloé Eau de Parfum?
Significantly. The 2008 original is a fuller rose and peony floral with amber warmth. Fleur de Parfum is lighter, more verbena and cherry blossom forward, with the rice powder note giving an almost talc-soft quality the original does not have.

Best season?
Spring and summer especially, where the fresh verbena and cherry blossom feel most at home. It can be worn year round but the warmer half of the calendar suits it best.

How long does it last?
Six to nine hours at our concentration, with the rice powder cedar musk drydown lingering as a soft skin scent into the next morning on clothing.
