Roses De Chloe

A Rose Soliflore, Returned

Roses de Chloé arrived in 2013, composed by Michel Almairac and Mylène Alran as a rose-focused flanker to the 2008 Eau de Parfum. Where the parent fragrance threads rose through a wider floral bouquet, Roses de Chloé makes the rose the protagonist: damask rose at the centre, lit by bergamot and lychee in the opening, framed by magnolia and a soft white musk base. The composition became a quiet cult favourite among rose enthusiasts for its modern transparent take on the family. Chloé has since pulled it from production, and original bottles now trade at increasing prices on resale platforms. Our interpretation gives the rose composition a second life.

How It Smells

The opening is bright and slightly tart, bergamot leading with lychee adding a juicy fruity sweetness and a quick tarragon note contributing an unusual herbal lift that distinguishes Roses de Chloé from standard rose flankers. Within ten minutes the rose appears at the heart, and it is unmistakably the centre of the composition. Damask rose dominates, rendered as fresh and slightly dewy rather than jammy and deep, with magnolia adding a creamy white floral support and a quiet violet leaf contributing a green edge. The base is polished and modern. Amber provides soft warmth, cedar adds clean wood structure, and white musk smooths the drydown. It reads as a transparent modern rose, polished and accessible, perfect for daytime and casual evenings.

Top: bergamot, lychee, tarragon.

How Our Version Compares

With the original out of production, accessing the Roses de Chloé profile has become a matter of luck and money. Our European Union production at 40 percent perfume oil concentration brings the composition back at proper density, with the bergamot lychee opening sparkling cleanly, the damask rose carrying the heart with authentic character, and the amber cedar musk drydown lasting well into the next day on clothing.

Common Questions

Is the original really discontinued?
Yes. Chloé pulled Roses de Chloé from production, and existing stock at major retailers has largely sold through. Resale prices have climbed steadily, and freshness varies considerably depending on the source.

How does it compare to other rose compositions?
It sits in the polished modern transparent corner of the rose category. Less dense than Aerin Rose de Grasse, less intense than Frederic Malle Une Rose, lighter than many niche rose perfumes. It reads as a Chloé rose: clean, polished, and quietly luxurious.

Best season?
Spring and early summer especially, when the fresh rose character reads at its best. It can be worn year round but the warmer half of the calendar suits it most naturally.

What occasions does it suit?
Daytime, weekends, casual dinners, polite professional settings. The polish and lightness make it forgiving in shared spaces, while the rose at the centre gives it enough character to suit personal moments too.
