What Is Chloe Perfume?

Chloe is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion.

For vintage collectors, Chloe offers elegant, romantic fragrances that epitomize Parisian femininity.

Brand History

Chloe was founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion, who invented the concept of "luxury ready-to-wear." The first Chloe fragrance launched in 1975, created by perfumer Mylene Alwan. It was a green floral aldehyde that captured the brand's romantic, bohemian spirit. In 2008, Chloe relaunched its fragrance line with the now-iconic Chloe Eau de Parfum by perfumer Michel Almairac. This fresh rose scent became an instant blockbuster and remains one of the best-selling designer fragrances today. Chloe's perfumes are characterized by their signature rose-heart, always elegant and effortlessly feminine.

• Examine the label: The Chloe logo should be perfectly centered with consistent font. The "Chloe" script is distinctive.
• Batch codes: Printed on the bottom of the bottle. Cross-reference online.
• The scent: Chloe is known for its signature rose accord — fresh, airy, and natural-smelling. A synthetic rose is suspicious.
