“A Paris bridge, a padlock, a letter you'll never send — romantic in the most literary sense.”
Anne Flipo's 2014 orange-blossom floral for Chloé: neroli and pear open onto orange blossom and stephanotis, over a soft musky-woody base. White-floral and citrus accords lead, with fruity and fresh-spicy facets. The citrus keeps the orange blossom bright and clean, with the fruit adding a soft sweetness in the heart and the musk carrying a gentle drydown. A spring daytime scent.
