Chloé
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Bergamot arrives with a brief, almost tart vitality, immediately softened by apple blossom's pale, almost transparent fruitiness—more blossomy than fruity proper. Within minutes, the citrus settles into a supporting role, allowing the floral framework to establish itself without preliminary fanfare.
Jasmine and ylang ylang create a hazy, intimate floral accord, neither particularly creamy nor particularly heady, instead settling into a powdery softness that feels rather like skin warmed by afternoon light. The composition achieves a kind of gentle equilibrium here, the fruity and fresh elements retreating to whisper support rather than lead vocals.
Sandalwood emerges as creamy rather than structural, whilst vanilla and musk collapse into an almost imperceptible intimacy—this is skin chemistry territory now, where the fragrance becomes a breath rather than a presence. By hour four, SeeBy has become a barely-there second skin, tender and close.
SeeBy arrives as a deceptively gentle proposition—a fragrance that wears its florals with an almost apologetic whisper rather than a declarative shout. Michel Almairac has constructed something deliberately soft-focus here, where apple blossom's subtle green-tinged sweetness refuses to compete with bergamot's citrine brightness. This isn't a clash; it's a conversation held at close range, the kind of intimate exchange that demands you lean in rather than broadcast outward.
The heart unfolds with jasmine and ylang ylang in careful measure—neither dominates, and therein lies both the fragrance's grace and its central tension. The jasmine lends an indolic whisper, a faint animalic undertone that prevents the composition from tipping into saccharine territory, whilst ylang ylang provides creamy, almost coconut-tinged florality without the heaviness that often accompanies it. There's a distinctly powdery quality emerging here, soft and slightly nostalgic, as though the fragrance has been wrapped in tissue paper for decades.
