Love Eau Intense Chloé for women

Flanker done right! Speaks the same language as the original edp but with a deeper vibe and the vanilla amped up. Elegant, soft and prim but not boring.

I haven't worn this scent for more than 9 years! But back then, when I discovered this line in the shops and the world was all fruity floral and fruitchouli, I was so smitten, that I bought the regular EdP, its bodylotion and two large bottles of the Intense version - crazy. I stopped wearing it because my three pregnancies caused quite an olfactoric stir... Back than and now my DH thinks it smells like vintage 70tie or 80ties hairspray and I agree with this when it comes to the frist 15 minutes. The beginning is a bit chalky (the Iris?) and - dare I say - suffocating (Heliotrope?). In the regular EdP version I perceive this effect even more pronounced. But after some 15 minutes later it morphes into a beigey, addictive, powdery, floral, makeup-y veil, that is very sexy in an non offensive, je ne sais quoi kind of way. This is, what I imagined Chanel's "Beige" to be.
On my rather dry skin it has moderate lasting power (I applied this morning, 4 hours ago) and I still get whiffs of it, but it is slowly turning into a skin scent. I prefer the Intense version because the Vanilla is amped up here and makes the scent a bit snugglyer and less perfumey than the regular EdP, also definitively suited for colder months. I cannot imagine this version in summer, frankly not even the regular one. Its projection is discrete-moderate (wearing 4 sprays today) and I find it perfect for office too.This Love,Chloé line is a gift from women to women. It is the sort of scent, that women comment and compliment, but I don't see guys being attracted to it, seduced by it or even notice it. It is too restraint for that. But I get compliments from my six year old son ;-)
After wearing it several days in a row I have the following feeling about it: Imagine yourself preparing for a party. Your skin is perfect, the hair shiny and healthy and your dress has a minimalistic cut in an expensive heavy nude silk. You feel so feminine and classy. But then you arrive at the party and there is lots of bright colors, ruffles, drapes, complicated hair-does and red lipsticks. And although beautyful you just don't get noticed. I think this was the problem with Love, Chloé, when it was lunched. It should have been more amplified, more exagerated (like the Narciso Poudrée) to exist next to Mademoiselle and Her. Neither in the commercial nor in the print add the model is really seeking eyecontact with the spectator. So why should we watch her?

I’m down to my last fews sprays of this. Maybe one more wearing. I’m going to MISS THIS SO MUCH. Love, Chloe & Love, Chloe eau Intense were the closest things to signature scents for me from about 2012-2016. Something about these powdery florals that just suited me perfectly. Projection & sillage were moderate too. Such an absolute shame they’re gone. GORGEOUS.

I do love this intense version of Love, but the original (my signature of 5+ years) suits my chemistry and lifestyle better. Though gorgeous, this one smells very formal to my nose, like something you’d wear to a black-tie event, not an everyday/signature scent. It’s the original Chloe but minus the bright opening of neroli + pink pepper, and oomphed up in the base with vanilla and balsam, giving the scent more weight and body, and abit more sweetness and warmth. It’s still powdery, but not as powdery clean or as radiant as the original, rather it’s dense and richer. Monstrous sillage, but in a beautiful way. Very classy, fit for a princess.

Someone long ago mentioned here that it’s reminiscent of Guerlain works. Hmmm…plausible but not entirely. Love Intense fails to make natural its signature Chloe base; to me this still smells synthetic like in Ricci’s Deci Dela: a sharp rose and musk combo. However, the use of royal colored flowers is outstanding, giving it a ruminant feel. I also find it shares the watery quality as with some of Guerlain’s high-browed offerings which despite listing notes of intense nature (vanilla, benzoin etc.), one gets a restrained accord. Both beautiful nonetheless.

Opening is juicy and fruity; I’m wondering why rose isn’t declared as note. Then quickly to the heart of purple florals and vanilla. It leans slightly gourmand and may make one remember violet candies. On to its drydown, a lighthearted vanilla and musk with vestiges of the color purple.

Pleasant and well-rounded.

If violet was a color, it’d be this perfume 💜.
Chloe Love Intense is a powdery floral based scent with prominent notes of Iris, hyacinth and vanilla. The iris makes it powdery and the vanilla, somehow sweet. You’ll love this if you want something classy, inviting and confident.
Because this is good and has been discontinued, it’s being ridiculously overpriced.

Love Chloé Intense is my personal iris beauty.

I have smelled quite a few irises and there are really very beautiful current fragrances and also more vintage, designer and niche ones. But Love Chloé I is my talisman. The mixture of iris, vanilla and lilac are unique.

It is a perfume that does not evolve much in its smell, but it is not boring. It has a masterful sweetness, it's like an icy sweetness, cold and even dark.
I love feeling its beauty emulating a vintage scent but based on a perfect modern Chloé perfume.

I admit that no Chloé is my passion, but this perfume is from another galaxy.
Their bohemian romanticism makes me go crazy, I haven't found anything that is close enough, sometimes they have too much heliotrope and poorly conjugated and instead in this icy work of art everything is measured. And when I say measured I don't mean lazy or bland, it's not simple or cheesy.

Really Love Chloé I needs to be used when you feel within you that true beauty of vintage boudoir perfumes, but they must be the true vintage ones...

If you find it and it fits you, you will be able to enjoy long hours of this beautiful iridescent pearl and you will surely see that they want to hug you... because it is a fragrance of hugs, kisses, tenderness...
It is one of the few perfumes that make me feel really hyper feminine

Amazing purple flower dream of a perfume, I have both the Love, Chloe EDP and Love, Chloe Intense versions. Both are lovely in their own right and in different weather. Intense seems to cover a slightly wider temperature range for me. Sad that this beauty has been discontinued, really happy I bought a backup when I originally got this.

This forms a wonderful powdery purple cloud around me, it feels softer and more comforting that the EDP. The vanilla doesn't seem to be as pronounced on me as it seems to be with others but is probably what provides the softness and gentler touch.

I agree with @perfumesniffer below that @henri345que has done an amazing review <3

I have a sample.

---

Powdery floral, fluffy and delicate like a feather. Feels like a caress, or like someone you trust and care fluffying up your hair.

I wore Love, Chloe edp as my signature for about 4-5 years. That stuff was AMAZING. Like, literally perfect. I was late to finding out about the Intense version and have only had 1 bottle. The Intense version is all the perfect fluffy sophistication of the original except with a more dense quality and a big dollop of vanilla in the dry down. The Intense is not gourmand, it just hints at the edges of that territory. I can honestly say that Love, Chloe edp and Love, Chloe Intense are the best mainstream releases of the 2010s, hands down. I would describe them as if Guerlainade was recreated for a mainstream brand. Very retro inspired, but cheeky, playful modern scents for adult women. The Intense is a bit more sexy. I’m nearing the end of my bottle and starting to eye the $250 bottles on eBay. A ridiculous travesty that these were discontinued. 10/10 Sublime

@henri345que below has written a perfect review 👌🏻

Just purchased a decant sample on Ebay of Love Chloe Intense & Love Chloe Florale. I love both however Love Chloe EDP will be my forever fave.

It smells like they isolated the powdery fluffy part of the original. Sprayed on my left hand it was so strong and my right hand very subtle skin scent. On my clothes wow it's a whole new scent! It's beautiful.

The whole Bottle is going for around $200 so my little sample is perfect. I want to wear a sweater and smell like this puffy cloud in the winter. So if you want Love Chloe without the Orange Blossom and Pepper this is for you.

It smells extremely intense in the first 30 mins of wear to the point where I cannot tolerate it at times. But the dry down is absolutely gorgeous and so powdery. I never spray it directly on myself, I would spray it in my closet or on my clothes an hour before wearing them. The lasting power is really good, I get almost 7 to 8 hours.

It literally smells like wearing you favourite cashmere jumper. After 30 min I get a subtly soapy, deep iris, heliotrophe, hyacint, vanilla as well as some very round and soft woodsy and balsamic notes. Also recall smelling something almondy or nutty after another 30 minutes. There's some nostalgia vibes going on with this one. It makes me think of a European city on a late summer afternoon, brick and concrete warm from the sunlight, and a flowershop about to close for the day.

Chloé Love Eau Intense It's richer, more mature, and longer-lasting than Chloé Love in my opinion. I have had both versions but I prefer that one over the other.

I got it from ebay. Very expensive this days. It is powdery, flowery, sweet. I don't regret buying it but wont buy it again. There are other scents with similar floweriness, it just reminds me of volupte by Oscar de la Renta, which is easy to find and very unexpensive, not the same scent by any means, but a very similar vibe, similar flowery/intense olfactory experience.

I bought this about 2 years ago reasonably priced on the grey market and stored it away, only discovering it last night as I sift through my collection to list items for sale.
I decided to open and having tested it I chose to keep this one. It’s very intense in a sweet but not cloying way. I am not being overwhelmed by violets or purple flowers, and I am pretty sure this is very similar to Angel’s Dust by Francesca Bianchi.
I can see Chloe Love and Chloe Love intense are both now ridiculously priced on eBay as they’ve been discontinued. If you love this and must have it without the stupid price tag, try to get a sample of Angel’s Dust and see if it satisfies your obsession. Angel dust is also offered as extrait so you’re going to get more bang for your buck.
My opinion only, hope it is helpful.

Wow, I can't believe this is going for so much these days! I found my bottle at a discounter last summer and snatched it up! It was a blind buy. I spritzed it 3 times on myself and almost immediately began to regret it. There's something a little too sharp that was poking through and making me feel nauseated. I decided to try it again today with just ONE spray (since I was just wanting to re-test) and I'm happy to report that I like it much better. This is really a powdery explosion of purple flowers, just like in the pyramid. I love iris and heliotrope, but I'm not as familiar with how the other flowers are supposed to smell. The vanilla really saves this, and I'm thinking that if I'm actually going to wear this, I need to layer on another vanilla just to keep it more balanced. Overall, this is a pretty makeup-y smell. If it had some oud it would be stellar. I may try layering on some Nemat Arabian Wood oil to see if it transforms it.

I usually have decent luck with "blind buys", not this time! I remember testing the original Love Chloe years ago and really liking it. After reading reviews for this one and the original I was second guessing which one I'd tested and liked and guessed that it must have been the "Intense" version. Unfortunately it wasn't and I hate this one so much that I had to come home and change my clothes because I couldn't take it one minute longer. There are only a few other fragrances that I feel this way about - Amarige, Cabotine, Eternity and White Linen. Amarige always makes me feel slightly queasy and this one did the same and besides musk they don't seem to share other notes so I'm not sure what it is but I will be getting rid of this asap as I can't risk my daughter taking a liking to it!

LOVE this perfume! I feel like "me" when I wear it. I love the original Love Chloe (as well as the eau florale)but there is something special about the Intense version. It's richer, more mature, and so incredibly beautiful. It's got the makeup powder note that I adore, plus a beautifully blended iris and vanilla...it's just bliss. Longevity is great and the bottle is one of my very favorites.

what a magical perfume. i had been so curious about the original "love, chloe" after katie puckrick described it as such a unique designer offering. i see why, now - purple flower fragrances aren't so common these days, although this one is astonishingly beautiful.

when i first sprayed this on, it took me back to summers in bangladesh. after a shower, quickly getting dressed in someone else's bedroom, hoping no one wandered in because the doors always had pants hanging over the top and thus wouldn't close all the way. then furtively grabbing someone else's powder bottle, trying to shake some down your top, but nothing comes out. shake the bottle, tap it again, and whoosh now you're covered in powder, your whole neck and dress are dusty white but you almost don't care because of the scent...the cloud of fresh sweetness that coats your skin in flour, separating you from your slightly damp clothing. you already feel like a lady. you can hear all the traffic and sellers outside beneath the balcony and you are upstairs, your hair poorly wrapped in a towel, your clothes a speckled mess, but in your vision a queen because you smell and feel like one. you don't need perfume, deodorant, anything with this powder - it smells beautiful and fresh all over. "love, chloe eau intense" reminds me of that powder.

this beautiful iris vanilla fragrance is golden in quality, classy enough to make you feel a true lady even in pajamas (my current state.) there is a bitterness here, in the back of the throat when you inhale that keeps it earthy, like powder molecules scratching your airways. is heliotrope bitter? maybe that's what i'm smelling.

this is a warm iris fragrance, not a cold one. a shimmering lavender gold fabric, flashing royal purple in the light. i dabbed this on from the last of my sample, and it feels like this perfume was meant to be applied that way - the peru balsam gives it a vintage, heavy feel.

it's a crying shame this was discontinued. how i wish more women smelled like this...warm, inviting, but also aloof, not like a cake to eat...

This is amazingly beautiful scent. Indeed, Love Intense is like the softest, the most luxurious cashmere sweater. It's super, super elegant and classy. This is the scent of confident, caring, warm and gentle woman. Perfect for fall and winter season.

Chloe Love Intense is really powdery,you can definitely smell heliotrope and iris, with a hint of luxurious, melted pralines and chocolate. It's sweeter than the first Chloe Love and I like it more than her older sister.

It was a blind buy for me. Unfortunately it turns out, that on my skin it was not what I expected. On my skin Love Intense smells too powdery and too sharp. I can't smell those yummy chocolate pralines, nothing sweet on me. I didn't feel good in these one, so I gave it to my mum and on her skin it smells A-MAZ-ING. Pure magic.

It is really sad, that Love sisters was discontinued.

It is like my favorite cashmere sweater - soft, gentle, timeless, feminine.
I love the nuttiness of the heliotrope and here it is in its best company of the other lilac and gentle flowers. I keep as a treasure the last 5th ml. that remained in the bottle.

If I have to choose between this and the original I would go with this!!
Both are quite similar, but this intense version has a nice twist which makes it superior, and then is indeed stronger, very nice for the winter, I found it by chance in a shop and it was the last bottle and immediately I decided to buy it!

luxury and wonderful powdery scent, definitely classic and mature scent, i love it very much, great for evening and night scent, also perfect for rainy day, i made a blind purchase but I never regret to have it, now a day, it's not easy to get the intense version, only selected store carry out the intense version but still easy to get the original one's

Winter beauty.Iris so powdery and delicate on a vanilla cloud, makes you smile during some snowy mornings, like you sit on the sofa in a fluffy sweater and warm socks holding a cappuccino cup.Heliotrope gives some elegance and sensitivity, underlines an inner rather than outer beauty of a person wearing it.All is silent and white with silver and violet tones.We don`t need to speak up.Love Intense -as there is nothing intense in it-is an oriental perfume with some depth.Musky tones with violet flowers including the most difficult note of lilac embrace you like friendly arms do.It`a scent of missing our closest, for waiting,for some conversations we might have had but which for some reason never happened.
Quite different from other,rosey Chloe products Love Intense is a long-lasting scent, especially natural fabrics hold it for days.Not a skin scent with average sillage. For winter time rather as it looses part of its beauty in a hot weather
Could we compare it with any perfumes?More expensive- Eau L`Hiver (Frederic Malle) and Lilac Love (Amouage ).A cheaper one - Nivea EDT

I am a big lover of Love EDP. But the first thing that comes to mind with this one is: winter. The powdery notes are definitely (!!!) more accentuated, and the woody ones are subtle to smell. I think this one is more appropriate for winterly usage, at night, because its sillage is very heavy. Some people might get nauseated, I'ver heard. But I would never trade my Love EDP for this one, I have it, and I use it for specific occasions during winter..to me it matches with a fireplace, red wine, friends... people that appreciate the powdery notes of the first one will definitely enjoy this-if they can find one. Sad that this line was discontinued.

I truly know which note, combination of notes, or WHAT makes me react in a way that NO OTHER fragrance ever has. It makes me feel nauseous! When I was around my mother wearing this, I could not stand to be down wind of her or basically just being near her! There is something sharp and synthetic, I guess, about this fragrance that my nose detests. I have tried it in different seasons to no avail. Again, I can't keep from shaking my head because it makes NO SENSE to me whatsoever.

sladšia sestra Chloe love
sweeter sister of Chloe Love

Love Intense is quite an intriguing creation. The original Love is one of the better designer scents released the past decade. An effervescent and easy going fragrance, composed of purple flowers and an elegant, powdery backbone. It is quite a shame that, along with its flankers, Love is discontinued. Even though I like the original a lot and would actually wear it, despite it's uber feminine status; it's the equivalent of wearing a hyacinth mascot costume which shouts "Look at me!', simply because of it's nuclear longevity and sillage - it's too much for me personally.
I'd rather much wear the Intense flanker. It dials down on the sillage and soapy flowers, and replaces them with vanilla, tolu balsam and musk.
The opening actually reminds me of Licor 43; I guess it's the iris and heliotrope combined with the vanilla. It's powdery, floral but also balsamic - it also has a nutty, almondy feeling, provided by the heliotrope. The vanilla in Intense is more of the vanilla extract kind, that gooey, brown liquid you would add to your cakes. It's dark, sweet but it also has a bitter facet.
After the booze-like opening fades, a swooning trio of purple flowers shows up, with lilac being the most noticeable. It's not as hyper floral as in the original Love. I can also sense a bit of hyacinth, but the lilac is most prominent to me. It merges beautifully with the opening, balancing floral notes with powdery ones. It is never too sweet or overpowering, though.
The drydown is the best part of the fragrance. The florals start to fade and the musk appears. It gives Intense it's fluffy and clean character, whereas the vanilla and tolu balsam increase the balsamic aspect of Intense. The end result is a powdery floral, resting on a cloud of musk and dark vanilla with leathery aspects.
Longevity is good, around 6-8 hours for me. Sillage is considerably lighter when compared to the original Love (which is a good thing for me). It hovers around me for a good 4 hours, before turning into a skin scent.
Somehow it actually reminds me of Gucci EdP, launched in 2002. It has that same sensual vanilla and floral combination. The Gucci is a lot more subdued, spicy and leathery though. You could consider Intense to be it's more upbeat, daytime sister; being more floral and clean. Love Intense is a really good fragrance, and I'd advise you to pick it up before it completely disappears and prices will skyrocket for this little gem.

Overall this is very nice. If you like the original Love, then you will enjoy this Intense version. It's still purple/flowery just the starchy rice note is replaced by vanilla. The vanilla hits hard in the beginning, and it strikes me a little synthetic/plasticy. Its not a warm creamy vanilla, but a cool distant almost powdery one. It dries down pretty quickly, then it becomes the purple/powdery Love that one would expect. It defiantly has more punch than the original, more of a body, a backbone. Less light and clean, and more flowery and pronounced. Don't be afraid to blind buy this one as its discontinued and prices are reasonable on the secondary market. Once its gone this one might be valuable. It's a quality, well made fragrance. Thumbs way up.

Mi piacciono tanto tutti i Love di Chloè: il classico per la stagione fredda e l'eau florale per la primavera/estate (ma entrambi sono fantastici sempre). Anche questo Love eau intense è speciale, ma per un altro motivo: non amo indossarlo, ma per me rappresenta un piccolo viaggio olfattivo e mi piace ogni tanto farmi spruzzare una mouillette in profumeria e tenermela in borsa per sentire l'evoluzione di questo profumo. Si apre con una forte vaniglia molto femminile, per niente secca ma umida e balsamica, quasi liquorosa. Quindi si assesta su qualcosa che mi riporta a quando ero bambina in spiaggia: un meraviglioso profumo "caldo ma fresco", molto naturale ma ricercato, evidentemente simile a qualche crema abbronzante sentita molti anni fa :)
Poi subentra una fase talcata molto simile al Love classico, ma un po' più aromatica, e infine percepisco una scia che mi ricorda un connubio fra My name di Trussardi e Legni fruttati Erbolario... strano ma vero! Comunque delizioso.

This is a really nice one! I love the original Love, Chloe EDP too and you can tell these are sisters.

I honestly like the opening of Eau Intense better because it lacks the sharp-ish pink pepper and the hyacinth is much more subdued. Then I get all the melange of purple flowers and powder which is what they mostly have in common with Love,Chloe.

The drydown goes to an entirely different direction though. Still retains some of the powderyness but gets more balmy, creamy/ambery instead of creamy/starchy here.

I like the drydown of this one a bit less than Love, Chloe and if anything it's not as intense despite the name. Still, I enjoy it a lot and wouldn't mind a bottle sometime.

I recently purchased Love, Chloe eau Intense. I own and love other Chloe perfumes such as Chloe Chloe EDP, Chloe l'eau Chloe. Chloe EDP and L'eau Chloe are rose centered. Love, Chloe eau Intense in my opinion is a spicy floral. I wore it today for the first extended period of time and I am happy! I have been looking for a signature and this may be it. I sprayed about 5 healthy sprays total....one on each wrist, behind each ear and one spray on my decollatage. At first to me it seemed a bit over-powering but as I was leaving for work my husband commented twice on how good I smelled. Hmm...that's a good sign. My hubby usually doesn't tell me that unless I have some sickly sweet gourmand like Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy on, which I keep around just for him. I kept getting wafts of this perfume for about 8-9 hours at work. Again, a little overwhelming at first then spicy, almost Big Red gum, in the middle with lovely sweet spice and then dried purple flowers with a hint of sweetness for the dry down. Hopefully I have described it correctly, in my humble opinion anyway. I really like it so far....

I purchased a 1oz bottle in high summer and found it rather too powerful. Six months later, in cold and rainy weather Love Chloe Intense is in its element (s)

It's rich and aristocratic, a bit highbrow and it doesn't know how to have fun; Love Chloe Intense takes itself very seriously, it's uptight and thorough, …..Man, is she Intense. Definitely a hard working lawyer type with winning on her mind. It's a very very good perfume, nicely crafted, I think the materials are the upper end of the commercial scale. That's my opinion.

The cherry pie of heliotrope is strong. I can't wear this perfume early in the day and I certainly wouldn't refresh it in a confined space or a dining area, but if I was in an art gallery, looking at jewellery, at a sophisticated wine bar or better yet, in a convertible, Love Chloe Intense would be part of my projecting persona. Uptown (uptight) Girl.

Longevity and silage are moderate to generous. For lovers of Narciso for Her, Prada Infusion D'Iris Absolu, L'Heure Bleu and even Chanel No 5 EDP.

I bought this blind as I was fairly sure I would like it, being a massive iris fan. Dry, distinctly iris based, powdery, purple flowers and a musky vanilla dry-down. Like Guermantes review, I also immediately picked up the association to L'Heure Bleu - must be the heliotrope that gives the slightly oily, waxy smell at the opening. I'm not a great fan of this part, but it is fleeting and soon dries down to that powdery floral vanilla. The lilac is quite prominent too and I get a similarity to Guerlains Champs Elysees due to this. Very nice - great scent for the office as long as not sprayed too heavily, makes you feel fresh and lovely.

The comparison between Love Chloe and Love Eau Intense Chloe.

I am wearing two testers on my wrists today. They both are lovely, warm, comforting and very feminine. I'd say, Love is a bit greener and Love Intense is a touch sweeter and more intense, as the name suggests. I think I would prefer Love Eau Intense as it has beautiful vanilla in and the heliotrope here is more pronounced. These two notes, I suppose, give the Love Eau Intense some intriguing and retro aura. Retro being said in a very good way, not 'old woman' at all. I would say, Love Eau Intense is better for the evening wear while Love would do for the office.

UPD: Projection is moderate and the longevity is about 2-3 hours on me with Love and about 6 hours with Love Eau Intense, should be staying longer on clothes. Both fragrances are very cosy and warm so should be just great for autumn and winter. To me Love Eau Intense is definitely the winner between the two. Might go for the full bottle

More powdery than I expected but I like this a lot. Powdery iris, sweet vanilla and heliotrope all tied up in a lacy, musky sachet of girliness. Nice longevity, I think the sillage is excellent without being overwhelming. This shows the world the sweet feminine side that comes out in us all every once in a while. It is gracious sweetness in a bottle.

Sillage-8
Longevity-8
Overall Beauty of Scent - 7

I agree with all the reviews, that say it's lighter than the original. I like it better. It does't have that weird undertone, I disliked in the original. I like how many hours later is smells so luxurious and balsamic. Top notes are a little too much for me, but I still think that this fragrance is worth trying.

Huh, I'd actually call this a "L'eau" vs. an "intense"!

As a huuuuuuuge fan of the original Love, Chloe, I was disappointed in the Intense. It sounded like it would be close to my dream fragrance, buuuut, not so much, it turns out.

Love Intense begins with a minty, powdery, chemical-feeling vanilla. You can smell the original Love in the background ever so slightly, but it has this veil of weird vanilla over the top of it.

It's certainly not as strong with my chemistry as everyone is claiming, either! I have to really press my nose to my skin to get a good sniff.

So on all fronts, this version is a no-go for me :(.

Ι would't say this one is more intense. It is certainly more powdery and has more vanilla, whereas the original to my nose is more floral and the pepper is really pronounced. But, to me, the original love has more sillage and longevity. Those WHO love the original, will love this one too, but if you are looking for a more robust , nigh time , wintery version, I don' think this is the one. I like to combine the two of them, for the longevity and the powderness. Love intense is very alike to chanel nr5, a modern version of it. A really pleasure, both of them, I use them in summer and spring, I like my perfumes to be more intense in the winter. Love it is , then...

one of the best for morning out .. I mix it with love from chloe too .. its a perfect combination

It's funny that despite Chloe Love Intense's scent pyramid this really does not register as either purple or floral to me at all.

Instead it feels like I'm sipping a very warm vanilla liquour served next to a lady who is powdering her entire body. This lady might have spritzed on some Chloe Love in the morning, but the powder and the vanilla aromas surrounding me overwhelm it.

I think this would be a lovely scent during colder weather, fantastic for snuggling up to someone in front of the fire while wearing an ivory cashmir sweater.

Personally, I don't find myself reaching for scents that are this powdery very often, and since I slightly prefer my Flower by Kenzo Le Parfum over Chloe Love Intense I think this one might end up in someone else's wardrobe in the future. Still, though, this is the 'warmest' Chloe perfume I know, and I would not mind being stuck in a small room with someone who wears this :D

Chloé Love Eau Intense preserves the powdery iris in the original Love, Chloé. And it's not necessarily much stronger, but instead, deeper and warmer due to promient vanilla and heliotrope, and even appears a bit milky. It's sweeter, but just slightly. It's cozy and fluffy, and if compared side by side, its warmth makes the original Love, Chloé seem cooler and more mineral, even edgier than how I perceived it before.

This tender warmth provided by vanilla and heliotrope leaves after about 5 hours. And at this moment, the drydowns of Eau Intense and Love, Chloé don't seem to differ a lot. However, after about 6 hours, a mineral and slightly salty amber kicks in, bringing in another depth and warmth to the drydown.

The sillage of Love Eau Intense is moderate on me, and the longevity is around 10 hours. Although Love Eau Intense is no doubt very powdery, it's not aggressive, and the sweetness of vanilla is also well balanced so that it doesn't get annoying. I highly recommend it to those who are looking for a vanilla floral fragrance and adores powdery texture.

It smells like someone put a little bit of caramel in the original Love. It's sweeter. Does anyone know if it was discontinued? It's hard to find even online.

I was out of the original Love, so I decided to give the Intense a try. I was hoping it would smell exactly like the original (only stronger), but the Intense has a prominent powdery note which out shines the lilac and iris. I might still prefer the original's flowery notes over this one. The Intense is a very nice fragrance by itself, but I think layering the two would be amazing! If you were wondering if you need both the Love Chloe and Love Chloe Eau Intense in your collection, I say go for it!

The original Love is my signature, and this is just glorious. A stronger, sweeter, much more opulent and 'dressier' version, Love Intense smells like bottled gold. Whereas the original has a stylishly clean sort of shampoo-vibe, this one feels more voluptuous and decadent...but they are very similar otherwise. At the core, both are basically the same sophisticated lilac rich floral with a very powdery start, morphing into something clean, feminine, sensuous and balmy. It's very potent so just a few spritzes will do. This is the sort of scent I would wear when I want to feel rich, glamorous, intelligent, sensual and drenched in luxury. I immediately feel like an 'ultimate' version of me, and I can almost hear myself speaking 6 different languages, wearing diamonds, and 20,000 dollar gowns on my perfectly sleek and flawless figure. I would wear it for fancy evening outings, or to an upscale jazz lounge with my littlest LBD and red lips. It wouldn't really smell out of place even if you chose to wear it daily, just as long as you're dressed for it, it needs a good pair of heels, perfect hair and abit of lipstick at the very least...absolutely no track pants, t-shirts or saggy blue jeans, no! This is the scent that lifts my spirits and makes me want to go out there and grab myself a large hunk of life, and do it with every single ounce of style, sophistication, sensuality and wit that I can squeeze out of me. Because of that, I definitely prefer to save Love Intense for special occasions or when I need that emotional boost, it is not an everyday scent for me, that is why the original remains as my signature.

Scent breakdown, from 1st spritz:
30 seconds: Hmm...this smells like something I could fall in love with!
10-20 minutes: Oh no!! it settled down to talcum powder! Nothing but a ton of talcum powder!!! AA-Choo!!!
30-40 minutes: the annoying talcum powder is fading away, and a rich opulent gorgeous feminine scent is emerging...mmmm...
1 hour: Okay this is amazing! I LOVE it. LOVE. Just like the original Love, I'm willing to endure the first 30 minutes of yucky powder to get to this!
3 hours: That same gorgeous scent is still wafting around me, and it's getting abit sweeter, warmer and fuzzier...sooo good....
5 hours: It's still there, not even fading yet :)
7 hours: On my skin the scent is soft by now, but still going strong on fabric.
12 hours: Close to the skin, a soft clean scent...still very detectable on fabric even though it's not leaving a trail like the first 7-8 hours.
update
20 hours: As I was waking up from my sleep, I caught this scent on my wrist, what a beautiful scent to wake up to :) It's still there, soft as an angel's breath, but there.

Tip: The application method that works best for me is 2 to 3 large squirts on fabric (usually the front of my blouse for eg.), and 1 large squirt distributed between both my wrists and neck. If you dislike the 'powdery' start (though it does fade away completely, some days it can be a bother to me), then I suggest you concentrate spraying it on fabric and the back of the neck (just beneath your hair), this is a scent that develops absolutely stunningly on fabric, it cocoons me in its clean, soft golden haze of a scent and leaves the most gorgeous trail.

I just tried it today at the mall. I am impressed with it's longivety. Smell itself is also beautiful, very purple & flowery with a hint of powdery. I disagree that vanilla is dominant note (according to the votes by readers above). It goes along very well with my skin chemistry.

After reading the recent and positive reviews, I sampled this perfume. I was quite disappointed, because of the chemical quality of ingredients I smelt on my skin.

I love very strong perfumes which is normally my signature. However, this perfume smells of heavy alcohol. The amber is very overpowering and rather crass. When I smelt my wrist after 1 spray it was floral. But it had a bitter smell. One ingredient that made me feel sick when I smelt my skin. However, when I walked around the perfume trail was pleasant and lovely with a floral musky smell.

This retro styled perfume has a slightly sharp burnt caramel smell, with a leather and old stale pot pouri favours after 2 hours. Interestingly, I have original retro perfumes which are musky, smooth, elegant, nicely balanced and very long lasting. For example, I have the original Armani perfume made in 1982. But this perfume has a jarring factor on me or perhaps it is a too try hard "look at me" factor when I wear it.

This perfume is too intense, and overdone for me. It is a long lasting perfume, which I sampled the perfume stays close to the skin after 1 hour. But then I lost the impressive perfume trail.

The perfume is extremely overpriced. I like the Chloe Love EDP much better. It is more balsamic, powdery, floral, musky, chic and lasted after 8 hours closely on the skin. The Chloe Love EDP perfume is sublime, delicious and nicely done. Sometimes less is more.

The Intense perfume has a strong alcoholic smell after 5 hours is unpleasant. For me, it was not value for money. It reminds me of a very strong Guilty from Gucci, the original rectangular brown bottle. There is a plastic and chemical smell with this perfume, and is off putting for me, even now. I will not purchase this perfume. I recommend that you will need to first sample this perfume, unless you like strong, musky and alcohol smelling perfumes.

Old perfumed talc you found in the attic is how it smells like. Marginally better than Love, Chloe, but still bitter, powdery and strong. It's a somewhat pleasant smell - it has that charming retro vibe of your grandma's vanity table, but it's very loud even in cold weather, and you fill the room with suffocating powdery bitterness when you wear it. There's no air around you, only that powdery cloud. I quite liked it on, especially after a couple of hours, but it gives my husband a headache. Heliotrope, iris, vanilla & peru balsam dominate the composition. It's long lasting and has a heavy sillage.

I Looooooooove this fragrance!!
Totally divine and a really sexy scent that makes me feel like the ultimate woman :))

It's a warm fragrance with a soft but intense luxury amber note, sweet vanilla/almond and a touch of iris. The powdery note is well balanced with all notes in the perfume, creating a gorgeous iris-vanilla/almond balsamic fragrance. Really long lasting and such a yummy scent.

I'm a big fan of the hole Chloe Love line, but compared to the original Chloe Love this scent is more sophisticated, sexy and intense.... at the same time very modern!! It's a winner :-))

MUST HAVE AT HOME AT ALL TIME!!


Jag äääääälskar doften!
Helt gudomlig, en riktigt sexig doft som får mig att känna sig som den ultimata kvinnan :))

Det är en varm doft med en mjuk men intensiv lyxig ambernot, söt vanilj / mandel och en touch av iris. Den pudriga tonen är väl balanserad med alla delar i parfymen, vilket skapar en underbar iris-vanilla/almond balsamic doft. Sitter hela dagen och doftar gudomligt!!
 
Jag är ett stort fan av hela Chloe Love serien, men jämfört med den orginalet Chloe Love doftar denna mer sofistikerad, sexigt och intensivt .... samtidigt väldigt modernt! Detta är en vinnare :)

MÅSTE HA HEMMA HELA TIDEN!

I just got this from my local department store and I am so far loving it!
I was eying on the Chloe line for ages, I was excited to try out the Roses de Chloe but I was massively disappointed as it just smelled like rosewater crabtree & evelyn handcream, starting off with a huge plastic and bitter note on my skin..
I was deciding between the original Chloe/ L'eau Chloe/Love then I suddenly picked up the Eau Intense tester. It just felt very warm and cozy to me (I am unable to pick up any notes by nose and describe them).
I just blindly bought it home without trying it on my skin coz I loved it!
Smells much stronger on skin, starts off like bitter powder and then transfers into a woodsy oriental then dries down to a spicy powdery smell. In my poor description, this perfume smells like dark purple flowers bumped into deep orange wood and sprinkled on top with a dust of old-fashioned face powder. Which is a good thing by the way!
I love it!

Pencil shavings, wax and wood. I'm so sorry that I don't get any flowers from it, I was really hoping for some beautiful powdery iris and fresh lilac, but... Nope, not for me. I'm happy for you guys, who get the sophisticated side of Love Eau Intense.

Chloe Love Eau Intense is the perfect blend of sophistication and sensuality! Considering how much I love the original Love, Chloe I knew I had to get the eau intense version. I am so happy I did because you still get the lovely, soft lilac top notes with a powdery iris undertone. The vanilla note is more prominent which gives the eau intense version a more sensual vibe. Incredibly chic, very classy, and great for evening wear! I absolutely love it!

For powdery scents lovers this is a must have (along with Teint de Neige of course). Gorgeous.

so, i was looking for something classy, something a little more grown up, but still with a little vanilla for my vanilla loving heart :P

i tested out a few scents, on paper and arms, got home, pet my dog and suddenly she stopped cuddling onto my leg and started sniffing my left arm. she has never done that before so i sniffed, to checked what it was and it was the original "Love, Chloe".
Next day i went back to the store to test it again and saw the "Intense" version. The notes said vanilla and i was sold.
It still smells grown up and subtle but still enough vanilla to make me happy :)
Very lovely, warm, deep scent to wear every day :)

I thought it smelled of some balsam and it does. It has a very peculiar scent but reminds me of the older Guerlain scnets, also heavy on balsams and resins. For its peculiar character these days, I find this scent quite interesting. I only wish it were stronger.

Warm
Deep
Powdery
Slightly sweet
Sensual

Longlasting

I love everything about it.
It's such a unique and lovely smell.

I love this perfume on others but unfortunately I can't wear it myself as there is a note which bothers me :(... Tried wearing it a few times but will have to give it away...

There is one note in this that really smell afwul and give me a headache and make me nauseous. And it's a bit masculine, that's not a bad thing, but in this one i don't like it. Very longlasting and good sillage though.

Woodsy, green, subtly dry, vanilla and nutty sweet. It's warm, it's cosy, powdery and perhaps very slightly smoky, also. That's the middle notes. And yes, after a while the smoky veil fades, and amber comes to prominence. I am falling for this perfume.

Update: after a couple of days, I can definitely say that the EDP has great longevity - I can still smell it very well after 12 hours. However, once the powdery, smokier notes have vanished, and the scent turns more towards amber, it then becomes very clean... reminding me a bit freshly washed linen. Maybe a bit too clean for me, girly type of scent - I like it slightly "dirtier" ;)

very ambrish kinda secent
may seem a lil masculine to some ppl

Selena@ I personaly think it is. It is more amber than EDP and it stays closer to skin after few hours. But it is diferent than EDP. I couldnt decode long time which I like best. Amber in Intense version in very agresive and I dont like that much of amber, but after while it the amber is gone and all that is left is pure EDP version but very intimate, that means there is no agresion like in EDP version.

Am in love in this scent, can t live without it.

Now when I have it I find the Intense version less overwhelming than EDP. What I wanted to reduce in EDP is sillage which is monsterous and harsh. Intense smells deeper and flows around the skin right from the beggining although I can't say there's no sillage. On the contrary it is translucent but quite persuasive. I'd say to all who wants to choose between EDP and Intense that if you are after the same as me (less into your face scent but with a beautiful translucent sillage) go for Intense.

The Intense version is so much better than the EDP. The EDP is being worn by so many in buses, trams, even by the salesladies. The Intense is not an on your face version, it is just very different from the EDP. Perhaps I like lilac. I am a very confident woman, so perhaps the Intense suits me better.

I love this perfume, a scent is wonderful.
For me this is the true scent of a women elegant, modern, self-assured and powerful own.
When I smell this perfume I can only think of good things.
Is the perfume that I wish more.
With ths perfume women do not even need to wear beautiful clothes, this scent is as good as any women who is using an image conveys se perfect that it does not need any more accessory.
All women should use it.
Just have a problem, this perfume is very expensive in my country but I think it is worth buying.

I remember the first time I smelled it (I had a sample), it disappointed me a little bit: I found that the powdery dust that I loved so much in the classic Love here was a bit "ruined" by a slightly bitter note, annoying to my nose. So I gave the sample away! But now I've just received it in a swapping, and I could easy try it on my skin; so I realized that this note is very pleasant on my skin, and it gives to the entire composition an unusual(by my standards!)and refined touch.
It'is perhaps balsam of Peru note that gives this light leathery effect. And that's why the Chloe fragrance recalled to my mind another scent in which the powdery notes are accompanied with the note of leather: Putain de Palace of Etat Libre d'Orange (although in this case the powdery notes are those of rose and violet, while in Chloe they're given by iris, hyacinth and heliotrope).
I also found this Chloe a little bit similar to Malle Lipstick Rose, for its dust and "cosmetic" creaminess, even if in the Malle fragrance you can distinctly smell the violet rose.
For me, this is an amazing fragrance, but not so more intense than the classic Love.

Although I'm a guy, I have to write about this perfume, because it makes a statement. At first, when I smelled this one, I was not impressed at all, I thought this is the kind of fragrance that tries way too hard. Yesterday I was in a local department store and I decided to take a sniff of all Love Chloe's (the original, EDP Intense, Eau Florale). I sprayed a little on paper cards and EDP Intense was sooo much better this time. What popped into my mind was Christmas, somehow. So I decided to put a little bit on my wrist. At first I thought this has absolutely no sillage. But as time went by I started to smell this lovely fragrance. It smells powdery, clean, soapy, sweet, spicy, warm, unique, gourmand. This sits well on the skin too, and has good longevity. I will of course test this for a while now.
I would give 10 points out of 10 now.

Chloe's Love Eau Intense is perhaps a little too intense for me. I find the regular EDP versions heavy enough, so one step up in terms of projection, usually results in a head spin and a possible headache.

To start with, I'm not a big fan of Love, so this more intense flanker was not something I expected to enjoy. I tested it for the sake of seeing how the intense version compared to the original. Unfortunately they smell almost identical.

The opening of Love Eau Intense is quite a strong, powdery and soapy blend of lilac, iris and hyacinth. The blend itself is actually quite beautiful, but it's the strength of the opening that makes it a horrible experience for me. It's just way too strong. Every time I smell Love Eau Intense, my sensitive nose burns with the strength of it.

This is one of those fragrances that you have to be really careful with. If over applied it will easily become offensive, almost causing everyone, (including the wearer), to asphyxiate. It's also a good idea to let this fragrance dry on the skin before leaving the house.

The only part of Love Eau Intense that I liked, was the drydown. Thankfully the scent does become increasingly softer the longer it stays on the skin. The base notes are quite smooth and balanced, with a hint of iris, musk and vanilla.

Love Eau Intense is a rather warm and elegant fragrance when worn sparingly. Due to its 'out of this world' sillage and lasting strength, I would most likely choose to wear Love Eau Intense as a night-time only fragrance.

Don’t quite know what to think of it. There’s part of me that really likes the scent, the seriousness and floral side of it. And there’s also a part of me that gets pushed away whenever I sniff it for too long. It’s tempting but dangerous – seems warm and feminine, but if you’re too close it’s cloying, dry, woody, peppery, balmy. Makes me wonder is this fragrance really meant for the Chloe-girl kind of girl - younger, fashionable, flexible, easygoing, casual personalities?

Anyways. I’m discovering (slowly and painfully) that one of my biggest “turn-offs” could be iris.

The original Love, Chloé with it's retro Elnett hairspray accord was cute enough.
This intense version is very good. The warmer base makes it richer and more expensive smelling. Plus Chloé signature clean musk fabric softener makes it easy to wear. The almondy heliotrope note gives it a modern day Après L'Ondée vibe.

Many fragrance launches nowadays don't get enough cash for the juice. This is why so many smell of shampoo or deodorant. Chloé is the only brand that succeeds to wow me with cheaper than cheap formulas.

Amazing scent! Kind of mystery.. cannot help thinking about that I am like a quin when I'm in it. One of my favorite ones. So much lilac! I really love it! <3

Today I got this perfume. I totally fell in love in it. I smelled it before and started falling in it before.That s it, I fall in love with this scent. smells expensive and luxurious. rich. parfumne campaign motto is floral, powdery, Chic, Sensual and sophisticaded. and all this is. IT is expensive perfume, but worth every penny. great day fragrance. duration and the skin is super intimate. I personally like such perfume.

I Love this one! Not a fan of the original Chloe Love...but pleasantly surprised and intrigued by this gorgeous addition to the chloe range. Reminds me slightly of the Estee Lauder Private Collection 'Amber & Ylang Ylang'..just a little more intriguing.
Will be purchasing this one :)

I love this fragrance. It is a little heady at the begining but settles beautifully and stays on, The florals are dominent in this one but are balanced nicely to a powdery musky feel.

This gives me a terrible headache and makes me feel dizzy. I sprayed it on my wrist to try it on my skin and it reminded me of Nonchalance, my grandmother's perfume. This on is very oriental, strong, longlasting and just unpleasant to me. I tried to get rid of it but i can still smell it on my arm. Use with caution!

I'm a romantical 17 years old and I love, really love this fragance. But I don't know if it's so ''adult wear'' for me... But I think that I'm gonna buy it,... what do you think?

Superelegant, Wow - I feel like a really rich girl. sober, soft and tender but yet intensive. Wonderful hint of powder. Iris, Musk and Vanilla stands out on my skin. Great scent - wonderful parfum. 10 / 10

Superelegant doft. Wow, jag känner mig flärdig och rik. Sober, mjuk och behaglig men ändå intensiv. Aningens pudrig. Iris, Musk och Vanilj är det jag känner mest på min hud. Underbar parfym. 10 / 10 .

i could not decide between the chloe love and this one in the end i choose this since it was the stronger version and to be honest i made a mistake buying it its not my fave its to strong for me i recommended for someone who likes strong scents but the quality is great it stays on forever....

This is the typical perfume that has made its way into my heart. I got a sample of it in my perfume shop and decided to try. Wearing it the first day, just after spritzing it on I thought it was "nice", but not soooo special. Then the flowers came out, one after the other, and I thought "waaaaaay too much", I am not usually a fan of these big florals and I thought of it being a very sophisticated perfume, something a little bit "old-lady perfume", nothing for teens and twenty-somethings... rather for the elegant ladies over 40.

But then came the drydown, and I fell in love. This soft, powdery vanilla! Just the way I love it! Soooo great! I truly couldn't stop sniffing my wrist - and the best thing is that it lasts almost forever.

Since I discovered the wonders of the drydown, I must say I like the top and middle notes better. And, I must admit, it is also time for me to grow up - with an "adult" perfume, he he! ;)

This is-without a doubt-a special scent. Sophisticated, warm and feminine, it has the power to charm and fascinate. Delicate and elegant, it is suitable for day and night.

However,I suppose there are people that find that perfume heavy or untolerable, since it is not light or soft. It definetely depends on each one's taste and personality but I firmly believe that you should try it on your skin first and decide the next day.

Therefore it is not a safe choice but it is a lovely one, if this perfume is proved to be good on you.

eau de intense is definitely attractive, more deeper, more sensual. you still have the old notes in there but this one has more to it, more classy, more assertive. the regular one is very ladylike, this one is the lady & sex bomb (together) to the hard core, and way more appropriate for a night wear as well.

I love both the original Love and the Intense, in fact since tomorrow is a discount day I am thinking of buying both. Love is one of the most beautiful, intensely feminine, sophisticated fragrances, complicated and spicey enough, very unique and defining with great sillage. Though the Intense is very similar, a few notes have been toned down and others were added making it passionate as well. What a gorgeous scent for an evening occasion, a date or any occasion you want to feel like a woman and exceptionally beautiful and seductive. Both are making it to my faves. Cannot decide between the two which is why I am thinking of getting a small bottle of both.

I absolutely love this one. The smell of vanilla is gorgeous. It is very long lasting, spray once or twice in the morning and it lasts all day.

I love the smell of Love, Chloe but unfortunately it turns disgusting on me. This one turns much more spicy and smells very reminiscent of leather (which isn't one of the notes listed but it really does) but I like it. On the blotter it was just a deeper richer fragrance then the original. It smells strangely masculine on me so I'd probably layer something a little more floral or sweet to make it a bit more feminine.

Today I almost bought a bottle of Chloe Love Intense blindly, but fortunately in the last minute the seller found the tester and I could test it on my skin.

Hmm..I have to say on paper this essence is a really stronger and much intense than the original Love -(which I love), but neighter I nor the seller wasn't able to make difference between the two fragrances on my skin. :)(Love Intense was less powdery and more soapy on paper, on me exactly the same as original Love)My chemistry is playing with me again.:)

So I remain of the original Love.:)

I am sorry to sound so out of tune among positive reviews, but I find this scent so vulgar that almost makes me sick. It's aggressive in an unpleasant way on my skin and this is odd as I can wear Opium and my skin chemistry turns it in a soft spicy scent. There must be some ingredient in Chloé Love Intense that goes the wrong direction on me. I would not certainly recommend a blind buy.

This version is just as beautiful as the original! Stunning. This Love Chloe franchise has made an outstanding start! Unique and lovely fragrance.

This is a very nice surprise! The original Chloe Love is a powdery, vintage 70's scent - it achieves the brief very well without being "old lady-ish" and is more then pleasant. But Eau Intense is a notch above it: in the opening notes, I get leather, which I love - I guess it is the iris. I could not check how the notes developped as I tested this fragrance on a strip of paper. I found the strip in my handbag 2 days ago, and the drydown is still very strong (made my bag smell beautiful). I get spicy vanilla, with just a hint of flowers, which stops it from being sickly. This drydown is a warm skin scent, and I think I will invest in a bottle for the winter as my boss is currently wearing my signature Coco Mademoiselle. And the added bonus is that the bottle is very handbag friendly!

Comparing to the regular Love the scent has changed drastically. The old-fashioned powder now doesn't prevail, but whispers and makes a lovely balance with the other part of the fragrance. The base of Eau Intense is gorgeous being vanilla balsamic. I don't know to explain but Eau Intense creates the impression of wealth. It doesn't smell like alcoholic drinks but can be compared to an expensive cognac.

I like Eau Intense much more than the regular Love, it is more modern and sexy. However I think some of Love fans will not accept the new version.

Ibought today YSL, Cinema and I received a sample of the wonderful perfume Chloe, Love Intense. And I loooooove Chloe. On me it smells a little like cognac:)
I don't know why, but every time I purchase a perfume, I get a sample that I love even more.
XOXO

I smell lot of warm, intensive, luxury amber in it, nice sweet vanilla and a bit almond. Really long lasting, loud yummy parfum. Not for very young ladys (under 20). This is the only one Chloe, I would buy it, if not so expensive (30 ml/56 €). They are a lot of very good long lasting parfums from a very old parfumery houses out there and for a reasonable prices. Love it, but definitely not for this price. Perfect for the fall and winter. It reminds me a bit of Van Cleef & Arpels Van Cleef, even if that one is a bit less sweet. The flacon is adorable.
