Chloé Eau de Parfum, $85
By Kirsten Ott
BOTTLED UP
The fresh new fragrance from Chloé debuts this month at Saks. The feminine scent, which is ensconced in an ornamental square glass bottle inspired by the pleated sleeves on a Chloé blouse, is a classic and chic combination of rose, cedar, peony, lychee, magnolia and lily of the valley. It is undoubtedly romance in a bottle with a nod to vintage thrills and neutral frills. $85, 1.7 fl. oz.
Saks Fifth Avenue, Phipps Plaza, 3440 Peachtree Road NE, 404-261-7234, www.saksfifthavenue.com.
