Well, perfumes based on true stories usually carry a sense of authenticity. They are like a scented memoir. Take a perfume inspired by a historical event. The creator might use ingredients that were significant during that time, making it distinct from other perfumes that are just created for mass appeal. They can also tell a story through their scent, while other perfumes might just be about smelling nice without a backstory.
One perfume similar to Chloe Love Story is Lancôme La Vie Est Belle. It has a sweet and floral scent, with notes of iris and patchouli, much like the feminine and elegant feel of Chloe Love Story.
Another option could be Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris. It shares some similarities in that it has a predominantly floral composition. It contains notes such as datura flower, jasmine, and white musk, which gives it a romantic and feminine feel much like Chloe Love Story. The combination of floral and sweet elements in both perfumes makes them somewhat alike.

I'm not sure about the 'Thousand Scents' Chinese novel. However, Chinese novels usually have a narrative style that can be linear or multi - layered.

If 'Thousand Scents' is a Chinese novel, it might also possess some of these features, but without reading it, it's difficult to be certain.
The smell of the ocean can also be part of a personal story. If you grew up near the coast, the salty ocean scent is something that is deeply ingrained in your memories.

So scents can be powerful triggers for our personal stories and the emotions attached to them.
