Chloé Chêne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Alexis Dadier. Chêne opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Lily of the Valley, and Bay Leaf, settles into a heart of Oak, Orange Blossom, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Chloé's Chêne carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Chêne is largely a crowd-pleaser, praised for its creamy, airy, and gentle scent profile, although some find it too subtle. Don't expect a heavy oak wood - this is a softer, more nuanced take, making it an underrated gem for many.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its gentle sillage and inoffensive nature make it perfect for the office or casual day wear, as it's often described as a 'skin scent'. While subtle for a formal event, its comforting creaminess works for a close-quarters date, though some find it too light for wider appeal.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bay laurel Laurus Nobilis Leaf Oil from Bay Leaf
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a zesty kiss of bergamot and mandarin, swiftly entwined with the fresh greenness of lily of the valley and bay leaf. The heart unfolds into a creamy, almost lactonic oak, softened by delicate orange blossom and elegant cedar. It settles into a warm embrace of sandalwood and vanilla, rounded by a whisper of clean musk. The overall impression is one of gentle, woody freshness with underlying elegance.
