Chloé Beauty Atelier des Fleurs Collection
Atelier des Fleurs is a new collection of fragrances by Chloé featuring three fragrances where floral, aromatic, and woody notes combine to create scents that are based on the olfactory memories of their individual perfumers.
Cedrus is reminiscent of a classic bouquet with fresh and woody notes, with a warm and musky undertone to exude a subtle elegance. Another standout scent, Santalum, draws from the scent of a sandalwood fan the perfumer’s grandmother had brought back from a trip to Australia.
Filled with woody notes and milky accents, this unique fragrance turns sandalwood harvested in Australia into an emblem of sweet and smooth sensuality.
