Chloé
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Galbanum pierces first, waxy and slightly metallic, immediately bracketed by bright neroli and bergamot that establish a crystalline quality. Juniper berry adds a dry, almost coniferous prickling before sage smooths everything into green refinement—this is fresh without being aquatic, bright without being shrill.
Nasturtium emerges with creamy spice, anchoring the delicate lily-of-the-valley and jasmine that bloom around it. The rose arrives with quiet elegance, never demanding dominance, whilst the green accord persists, keeping the florals tethered to earth rather than allowing them to float into abstract prettiness.
Ambroxan and musk establish a skin-scent base of surprising warmth and intimacy. The florals fade to whispers whilst the green lingers as memory, creating a soft, personal drydown that smells closer to skin than fragrance—gentle, barely-there, profoundly understated.
Eau de Fleurs - Capucine arrives as a deliberate contradiction: a green fragrance that refuses to smell like crushed leaves or garden clippings. Louise Turner has constructed something far more refined—a composition where galbanum's waxy, slightly peppery character doesn't dominate but rather acts as a structural framework for what's genuinely a floral study masquerading as a fresh scent.
The genius here lies in how the citrus and spice elements refuse to play supporting roles. Bergamot and neroli establish a luminous opening, but juniper berry introduces a subtle prickling sensation—almost resinous—that keeps the composition from sliding into standard fruity-floral territory. Meanwhile, sage whispers through the composition with herbal quietness, preventing everything from collapsing into sweetness.
