Crowded perfumeries and bitter heaviness - Ciao Chance!
A little disclaimer in advance: Dear Chance-wearers, don't let this comment spoil your mood. He is, as always, purely subjective.

Here goes: The hype around some perfumes is sometimes inexplicable to me. I feel the same way about Chance. I test it now for the second time and come again to no positive result. And apparently I am not alone. The classification of the fragrance already shows that it can't quite decide what it wants to be. One could interpret this positively and claim that it is versatile, mysterious or ambivalent. But no, I mean that he is a mishmash of different fragrances, which at least on my skin smell like nothing more than after a lush bath in splashed together, synthetic fragrance (ge)waters.
Chance smells like the wall of scent that slaps you in the face when you walk into a crowded perfumery. That bitter, synthetic heaviness that instantly goes from my nasal to my oral mucosa and makes me feel like I weigh 10 kilos more.

- With the spraying on, the synthetic austerity crashes into me.
- About 15 minutes after spraying on, a friendly floral note winks out - probably iris or jasmine. However, the fragrance remains bitter and heavy.
- Hours later, the scent remains heavy. Pink pepper and vanilla be "thank you?" The floral wink turns into a somewhat musty, or at least organic note. You can give the fragrance credit for that.

Last but not least, a note for sensitive noses and people with migraine problems: From this fragrance you should better keep your hands off.

(Okay, I have to admit that this review was a bit nasty. But from me speaks now once the frustration about this fragrance. Other reviews fall out for it the friendlier, if a perfume really convinces or at least has potential)

The elegant one next door who always goes....
Hello to the round,

today I would like to talk in relatively few words about a fragrance, the Chance Eau de Parfum .

There are really many fragrances of Chanel and for each sex, but this elegant, high-quality feeling what surrounds you when you wear a fragrance of the house is always impressive...

This fragrance is uncomplicated and always goes! Season, occasion - place (whether plane, subway or restaurant bspw. ) and this is a huge positive aspect ;).

The feedback will never be negative or people will hate the (unless you take 20 sprayers). The just always goes and is uncomplicated and is well received, in the sense of - "you smell good / well-groomed" and that's his trump card.

He should (according to here) the Accento resemble, my honest opinion on this, if I had not read it, I would not notice those anscheiende parallels, since I know it now but "I can say yes something", where I think it is this mix of floral (jasmine + iris + hyacinth) and the pineapple and a touch of pepper....

A few more words about the bottle, lid and the sprayer:

Lid: High quality, good, noble and not cheap = just fits!
Sprayer: The sprayers of Chanel are those of Dior the best there is!
Flacon: Design, presentation, wall thickness is timeless very suitable.

At the end of the day, the Chance Eau de Parfum is a really solid fragrance, which never bumps. And its performance also fits. YES (!) There are better fragrances, but those can quickly anecken and the Chance Eau de Parfum is in this respect a small fine NoBrainer ;)

And now a nice day / evening or always you read this review, LG the Benny

Elegant and Versatile
Chanel’s Chance is a fragrance that I could never go wrong with. Elegant, polite and sophisticated, it always works for me no matter what the occasion is. The fragrance reminds me of a fine crystal with a simple but elegant construction, clear and precise lines and impeccable symmetry. There are no elaborate ornaments but the clarity of this scent feels relaxing and energizing at the same time. Somehow the focal point of this fragrance is always me, not the scent. It smells fresh, clear, transparent and modern but very sophisticated.

Chance opens with a fresh and aromatic citruses mixed with the pink pepper. The pineapple note is there but it is definitely not overripe or sweet one. It smells fresh and light. I also get a light patchouli note right from the start. I love how patchouli is used in this fragrance. It gives nice accent to the top, heart and bottom notes but it NEVER overpowers the other notes. The heart notes are transparent and light jasmine and hyacinth. The dry down is a mix of woody vetiver and patchouli with just a hint of vanilla.

The sillage and longevity are medium but I normally reapply the scent during lunch and dinner anyway as the dry down gets a bit light with my skin chemistry. I definitely recommend this scent.

(This review is for Eau de Toilette)

The real addiction.
It's not my scent.
It's not for everyday use.

And yet- I love it for the feeling it gives:
I feel like a real woman- sexy, confident and beautiful.
I feel like every man can be mine.
I feel like the whole world will be in my hands.
I am addicted to this perfume.

Pink Peppercorn Plastic Patchouli
Chanel CHANCE seems to be intended for the same market as ALLURE (which I love) and is quasilinear as well, but somehow it doesn't measure up. My problem with this edp can be summed up in four p's: pink peppercorn plastic patchouli.

Somehow the pink peppercorn mingles with the patchouli and the musk to produce a plastic smell. I love patchouli, but here it really does seem to have the texture of an artificial plant, which will stay green until the end of time, adorned with finely ground pink pepper powder that crescendos all the way to the drydown, the four p's.

I won't say that I cannot wear CHANCE, but there are so many better choices out there. I certainly do not consider CHANCE to be a member of the illustrious chypre category. Not sure where this one falls. Perhaps it is sui generis: pink peppercorn plastic patchouli (I didn't get much pineapple...)
