Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Mediterranean Essences has officially arrived, and it feels like the fragrance collection luxury beauty lovers in Dubai have been waiting for. Inspired by the South of France and built around memories of the Mediterranean coastline, the new launch introduces four Eau de Parfum scents designed to capture warmth, greenery, sunlight, and sea air in an unexpectedly refined way.
This is not a loud fragrance collection. It is soft luxury, understated elegance, and summer escapism bottled with precision.
A Collection Inspired by the Mediterranean
The Mediterranean Essences collection launched globally through travel retail on 1 March 2026 and draws heavily from Chloé founder Gaby Aghion’s connection to the South of France, particularly Ramatuelle, where she spent time alongside the late Karl Lagerfeld.
Founded in 1952 by Egyptian-born Parisian designer Gaby Aghion, Chloé became known for bringing effortless femininity and couture-inspired sophistication into ready-to-wear fashion. That same philosophy carries directly into this fragrance collection.
Rather than romanticising the Mediterranean through clichés, the collection focuses on intimate sensory details: pine-covered coastal paths, warm sand, sunlit greenery, salty air, fig trees, and lavender fields at dusk.
The Four Mediterranean Essences Fragrances
The collection introduces four fragrances: Sous les Pins, Vert Soleil, Plage du Figuier, and Sable Lavande. Each scent explores a different side of Mediterranean nature while maintaining a distinctly elegant Chloé identity.
Sous les Pins, created by perfumer Quentin Bisch, recreates the atmosphere of a walk beneath Mediterranean pine trees. The fragrance blends eucalyptus with resinous green notes and surrounding flora, giving it a dry, aromatic warmth. The scent was developed using a “Scent Trek” technique from Île de Porquerolles, capturing natural aromas directly from their environment.
Vert Soleil takes a brighter direction. Also created by Quentin Bisch, the fragrance highlights lentisque, a Mediterranean shrub rarely explored in perfumery, layered with green mandarin, musk, and woods. The result feels leafy, juicy, fresh, and radiant without becoming overpowering.
Plage du Figuier, composed by perfumer Ane Ayo, centres around the fig tree and its hidden floral nuances. Orange blossom softens the composition, creating a creamy solar fragrance that feels warm, luminous, and distinctly coastal.
Sable Lavande shifts into a deeper sunset mood. Quentin Bisch combines lavender with a solar fig accord and ambrofix, creating a scent that feels warm, textured, and slightly addictive. It captures the atmosphere of Mediterranean evenings just before dusk.
The Bottles Feel Just as Luxurious
The packaging follows the same understated aesthetic as the fragrances themselves. Each bottle features Atelier des Fleurs’ signature pleated-inspired glass design with soft curves and textured detailing.
The warm green tones reflect the Mediterranean landscape, while the textured caps reference sand and coastal terrain. The entire presentation feels elevated, minimal, and intentionally crafted for display-worthy vanity shelves.
Sizes and Availability
All four fragrances in the Chloé Atelier des Fleurs Mediterranean Essences collection are available in 50ml and 150ml Eau de Parfum sizes.
The collection is currently available globally through travel retail and selected Chloé fragrance channels.
For anyone searching for a fragrance that genuinely feels like summer without becoming overly sweet or predictable, this collection delivers something far more sophisticated. Mediterranean Essences feels calm, sunlit, luxurious, and exactly aligned with the softer beauty direction dominating Dubai right now.
