Fleur de Fleurs
Estée Lauder · 1968
Estee Estée Lauder
This 1968 classic opens with a bright burst of raspberry and citrus that quickly gives way to its true nature: a full-bodied white floral anchored by rich tuberose and jasmine.
Estée Lauder · 1968
Estee
Estée opens with a creamy, almost narcotic tuberose that feels dense and luxurious, sweetened by a thread of raspberry that keeps the white flowers from becoming too solemn.
Chloé · 1975
Chloe Parfums Chloe
The opening arrives soft and lightly powdered, with peach and coconut blending into creamy ylang-ylang and orange blossom.
Chloé · 1975
Chloé (Parfums Chloé) Chloé
The original Chloé opens with a bright surge of peach and bergamot tempered by coconut—a combination that could veer sweet but instead reads as plush and solar, like sunlit skin.
