2018 is full of beautiful accidents and lovely surprises, it a year of dinner meetings and quality conversations. The Eve of 2019 begins with Hip-Hop parties, during the time, occasionally, never lacks of self-doubts and disempowering moments, still, from the dark side, the lessons are learnt, the mind is released, therefore, another exciting adventure begins.
New Eau de Parfum always opens up the hope of New Year! In 2018, CHLOÉ launces Eau de Parfum Nomade, the new pillar fragrance, created to evoke the adventurous, brave and still sensual side of Chloé women. Givaudan Perfumer Quentin Bisch created as a floral chypre composition, including the top notes of Mirabelle, bergamot, lemon and orange, while the middle notes with freesia, jasmine, peach and rose, and completed oak moss, amber wood, patchouli, sandalwood, and white musk as base notes. The aim was to make the Nomade less floral but more dirty than the Chloé signature, but still, Nomade was created by the inspiration of freedom, surprises, desires for space and empowerment.
The finding of Nomade was even a blind guess. While spraying the unregistered parfum on my Zara olive green cardigan, the desirable of smell stays on the sleeves, therefore, I pop up at Stockmann to search this unforgettable notes but in vain for about a month. One evening after work, I test the new bottle on Chloé shelf at Sokos since there is 20% on all the beauty products, and BOOM! Here is the Chloé Nomade now standing on my dressing desk.
The shape of the bottle mimics one of the classic bag of Chloé House---Drew. The heavy clear bottle has the cap with peachy pink suede leather on the neck, and a short string around. With either side of Chloé and Nomade fonts carved on the copper gold metal plate, it makes the deco of the bottle more of the alternative façade to turn and change.
Therefore, the need of Nomade aids me going on a wandering, perhaps very beautiful journey. To me, the scent begins with citrus grove, with sweet and juicy fruits are ready for harvest, then all the picks are crystallized with floral and sugar topped tarts, lingers with Asian bath oil, and faster and stronger, the slightly ambery environment with a touch of dirt and mud lurking about. While the fragrance goes a bit quieter, the final robust of muskiness comes out for a play around, unexpectedly changes into a masculine world all of sudden.
Nomade meets Love is always highly romantic. Love, Chloé Eau Florale remains the concept of the 2012 Chloé Love family, A breath of green tea and mate as top notes, continue on sweet pea and wood as middle odor, consists of powder and musk for the base. The composition of Love, Chloé Florale is not as the complex referred to Nomade, it is more herbal freshness with a soft touch of bitter tea, created by Perfumers Louise Turner and Natalia Gracia-Cetto, the journey of Love is always a sweet burden, but still keeps the sophisticate feminine voice, as the breeze of Spring dancing by. The bottle is much lighter in design on light pastel green glass with golden topper, together the tiny chain to enhance the needy but allure side of Chloé women.
As for photography, Chloé off-white botton-detailed gauze top made with 100% cotton, is not only the perfect match for the parfum bottles, but also the piece will definitely be my 2019 summer major top! See by Chloé purple chain pouch is always my travel essential. Together with different colours of the rose petals, is to hint that the compositions of Nomade. While the 18K gold rings from Chao & Eero and Jo Malone scented candle in Blackberry and Bay, always lighten up the pleasant photo shooting times of my own.
