Faberlic Chateaux de la Loire is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Pierre Bourdon and Jean-Christophe Hérault. Chateaux de la Loire opens with Bergamot, Violet, Freesia, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Toffee and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vanilla, and Peach. Faberlic's Chateaux de la Loire carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive scent, Chateaux de la Loire offers a unique, vintage charm to some, while others find its powdery iris and woody notes dated and lacking in modern appeal. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its powdery, woody character leans towards more composed settings. Many reviews highlight its 'vintage' and 'serious' nature, making it less suitable for casual or sport wear. While some find it cozy, poor longevity for several users means it might not always last a full workday or a long night out, but it can work for shorter formal events.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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 citrusy splash of bergamot and the delicate freshness of freesia, this fragrance quickly delves into a powdery realm of violet and iris. A surprising note of toffee adds a gourmand twist to the floral heart. The dry-down is anchored by warm musk and cedar, with hints of juicy peach and raspberry peeking through, creating a sophisticated yet comforting aura. It's a journey from airy floral to a grounding, woody sweetness.
