Launched in 1975 as the debut fragrance for the fledgling Chloé brand under Karl Lagerfeld, this aldehydic floral was originally sold as a Parfums Lagerfeld creation before being rebranded solely as Chloé. It is remembered as a lush, romantic 1970s floral built around jasmine, rose and tuberose over an oakmoss and sandalwood base.
