Chloé Santalum Review: A Creamy Woody Masterpiece
Discover the sophisticated elegance of Marypierre Julien’s sandalwood creation.

In this review
Chloé, a house long synonymous with effortless Parisian chic, expanded its olfactory horizons in 2022 with the release of Santalum. This fragrance marks a departure from the brand's traditional floral-heavy profile, pivoting instead toward a singular, focused study of sandalwood.
As a reporter for Vivir, I have monitored the reception of this EDP closely. It is a fragrance that champions minimalism, relying on high-quality Australian sandalwood to anchor a scent profile that is as comforting as it is refined. It sits within the market as a sophisticated, understated choice for the modern woman.
