It’s fairly linear, but that doesn’t stop me from being charmed… I personally detect a bitter orange at the start that blends with the jasmine, and deep down, the vanilla. I agree it’s similar to Coco Mademoiselle; I would say Chance is the simpler version.
I like its scent; it is characterised by being long-lasting and is noticeable at about two metres. Sometimes people ask me what I’m wearing; I think it’s due to the intensity and longevity, rather than the fragrance itself. Still, it’s one of my favourites, probably a slightly older scent, but I would buy it again if I had the chance; I loved it immensely and recommend it widely.
I loved it; it’s very minimalist, with a subtle, pleasant spicy note, faint flowers, and quite a bit of vanilla with musk. I would consider it for autumn/winter without being heavy, as it feels sparkling in its dry down. It has good longevity… I noticed it on my wrist for 12 hours. My only issue is that it has the same price as Coco Mademoiselle; we know that one is overwhelming and Chance remains a perfume with presence but discretion. In scent, they are similar; Chance would be a simpler version of Mademoiselle without the fresh orange notes. On the other hand, for less money, I can buy Chance Eau Tendre, which has good staying power and trail as an EDT. I’m not sure if I would buy it… I would prefer to replenish Eau Tendre (my daily wear) or Mademoiselle (special occasions), but if it were gifted to me, I would use it happily as a daily scent in autumn/winter. Of the Chance range, this is the most ‘Chanel’ alongside Eau Tendre.
I gifted myself this rich perfume; I loved it, although I don’t see the resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle, perhaps due to the patchouli, but Coco is more citrusy and this one isn’t. I love it! I see it more for day than night, but it’s magnifique for all seasons.
Chance is quite an underrated fragrance, not due to lack of fame, but because its flankers have had more impact and overshadowed it (Eau Tendre and Eau Fraîche are the most notable). The Chance line is minimalist for most Chanel traditions, and that’s no coincidence. First, ‘Chance’—not as ‘Opportunity’ in English, but as ‘Luck’ or ‘Fortune’ in French—represents Chanel’s first fragrance without parallel rectangular lines; its bottle is a wheel of fortune. Chanel said: ‘Chance is a tornado… an open door to adventure and lips ready for a kiss’. The scent resembles Coco Mademoiselle. It’s based on attenuated floral notes of jasmine with musk and vanilla; its musk-based staying power briefly reminds one of Narciso Rodriguez, but the pink pepper and patchouli eliminate that. As the vanilla recedes, a spicy, voluptuous edge of pepper and patchouli emerges (closer to Coco Mademoiselle). In my experience, there are hints of rose, but they aren’t defining. It is Chanel’s most aromatic and conceptually sober fragrance, the most versatile and innocuous within the EDP range. Its elegant qualities blend with a sporty touch that speeds up its movement and functionality. Its bold handling of jasmine and musk gives it seriousness without being difficult to wear. It’s enthusiastic; its joy sets it apart from the maison’s usual assertive cut. Jacques Polge, in my opinion the best perfumer at Chanel alongside Ernest Beaux, gave it the appropriate emblem, although the line has declined with the arrival of the ‘fruity’ Eau Vive. Compared to Coco Mademoiselle, both are long-lasting, but Chance has a more reserved and humble trail, without falling into imperceptibility (Coco was overwhelming at the start, while Chance was always more reserved). Chance is not a product of luck; it is a respectable fragrance. Curiosity: it is not pronounced ‘Chans’ as in English, but ‘Chons’ as in French, just like the commercials).
Perhaps my experience with this perfume was a bit personal, and its fame is justified for others. My performance is average; that musk so many people praise doesn’t do much for me… I catch traces of that vanilla-amber scent that Chanel loves to overuse, along with some jasmine, but it’s totally negligible.
Chanel is always about elegance and quality, and Chance is no exception. Although its composition is simple and minimalist, it is sublime, very elegant, opulent, and dense. It’s a lovely, fragrant jasmine surrounded by musk, with a hint of vanilla over a bed of patchouli. It makes an impression; its longevity and trail are excellent, and it has everything to captivate.
Delicious, elegant, and feminine, yet still fun and different. It has a peculiar, original scent that makes you feel put-together; it doesn’t go unnoticed and has good staying power.
Soft, fresh, and elegant, plus it lasts a long time. Perhaps it goes unnoticed at first, but in the end, it wins you over.
Chance is a safe bet, incredibly easy to love and highly versatile; wear it day or night, in cold or heat, and it always looks great.
I think what was read in the comments about it being minimalist is spot on. It’s an excellent perfume for any occasion. It’s elegant. I really feel the pink pepper the jasmine and the patchouli and they seem very well crafted. On my skin it lasts up to eight hours has a moderate sillage and isn’t overpowering. It’s a perfume that could well suit everyone. It’s sophisticated in its simplicity very chic it will always be a Chanel with everything THAT implies– but in this case I see it as appropriate for a younger audience. In my case I use it during the day when I have work meetings and need to project an image that is both serious and cool. It’s among my must-haves.
Coco Noir meets Shalimar Parfum Initial. I’m trying this beautiful floral musky patchouli-based perfume and I’d say slightly balsamic. It smells like an updated classic perfume but it doesn’t seem like a youthful aroma; to my taste it’s more mature for a professional independent and self-assured woman. Upon its release it was very similar to Chance EDT (or rather Chance EDT was similar to this because the EDP came out first) and in the dry-down it reminds me a lot of Coco Noir due to the patchouli which gives a balsamic and elegant touch to the jasmine. Also at certain moments it reminds me of Shalimar Parfum Initial; I assume the iris note is what makes me think of it. So to my nose it’s a very balanced floral blend mature and elegant yet also very versatile; I see it well for the office casual outings or formal events… Chance EDP will be a worthy companion for both jeans with boots and a nice sweater and a black dress; I also think it can be used day or night and practically all year round perhaps only avoiding it on the hottest summer days. Decided it’s entered my top 10.
An elegant perfume. With the same DNA as Coco Mademoiselle but less sweet perhaps more serious. Suitable for all seasons it never disappoints and has excellent longevity. 100% elegant.
Not for me! It felt too simple for such a famous and meticulous house as Chanel… I’m still sticking with Chanel No. 5 and No. 19 although the latter has been difficult to find again. Greetings from Mexico.
I just bought a second-hand bottle; according to the code it’s from 2013. I had it a long time ago back in its launch days and I remember it as fresh youthful feminine and jovial. I don’t know if it’s because my sense of smell has gotten used to it over time but now I feel it has a masculine touch. I check the reviews and don’t see any comments about this. I apply it and feel that sensation again in the base of some note that reminds me of men’s cologne… I didn’t like it altogether.
I clearly remember Christmas 2005: the cold didn’t stop us from going to the bars because at sixteen the weather doesn’t matter; what you want is to go out expectant and excited even though in those seedy places a group of lecherous men might wait until you’re drunk to let you in. Many friends smelled of Armani Code which I liked but wasn’t for me. I knew exactly what I was going to order that Christmas and waited for it with a desire I don’t recall having before; I’d smelled it in a perfumery and didn’t want to smell anything else. My first Chanel the only one. The first fragrance I fell in love with as it truly was a teenager. I would spend hours admiring my little 50 ml bottle unscrewing the cap and smelling it. I saved it for the weekends and it became my signature. Since then I’ve had other fragrances and have tried to return to Chance or rather to what it produced in me but the chemistry is gone. It has become an old love that you look forward to seeing but with whom you would never go out again. Perhaps it’s just that I associate it with a very specific (and difficult) moment in my life. Undoubtedly it’s a fragrance I would gift to a young woman; it still seems cheerful minimalist perfect for any occasion with the Chanel seal but the woman I’ve become no longer identifies with it.
One day on a trip that feels like it was years ago (2018) we were finishing lunch at a small restaurant in Rome near the Colosseum. Almost as an after-dinner drink my companion and I were drinking water and waiting for the bill. A couple entered a man and a woman. She young left a delicious perfume trail. We were a metre apart and from time to time that beautiful aroma reached us. Even my companion said she smelled great. After regretting other times not asking I mustered the courage used my respectful English and told her her perfume smelled wonderful and asked if she could tell me what it was. Her answer: Chance by Chanel. Of course! I already knew and respected it; I’d used a dupe years before but didn’t recognise it. Why? Because in this young woman fresh flowers stood out with a glorious sweet base. On my skin the original (not the dupe) dries very differently: it doesn’t stay sweet but fresh with a green woody touch yet not dry an accord I associate with the drying of vetiver and which reminds me quite a bit of the drying of Coco Mademoiselle. Knowing about its three versions I was left itching to ask which one it was (EDT EDP or Parfum) to avoid interrupting her so much… Would she have used a soft vanilla cream underneath? Something makes me think it might have been the Parfum version but I’m left to keep trying every Chance I come across. Haha.
One of my favourite Chanel scents for a discreet feminine elegant woman with personality. To me it’s a Coco Mademoiselle without citrus notes and more reserved. The longevity is around eight hours but after two hours it projects subtly; with the wind you can sense its presence.
Chanel broke the mould with the bottle of this perfume. Before they were square bottles but with Chance they created a circular and very distinctive one. It’s for women of all ages with a classic air and formal style; sportswear just doesn’t fit. On my skin the patchouli really stands out natural with a spicy hint of pink pepper and jasmine. It’s comfortable ideal for work or meetings and shines more during the day with its aromatic splendour having a slightly masculine touch that blends well with discreet florals. It has good longevity and a moderate sillage. Luck is its name; let’s see if wearing it brings us good fortune. It’s for practical and formal women. It smells similar to Coco Mademoiselle but this is more floral and the patchouli is the same. A good creation it’s all-rounder less suitable for night (personal opinion) and not seductive.
Two decades ago this perfume was a class jewel something few of us could afford but now that it’s within everyone’s reach I’ve stumbled upon fragrances that outshine it a thousand times. It’s a work of art yet very classic almost outdated. I wouldn’t recommend it for going out but it’s perfect for enjoying in solitude.
I don’t like it, perhaps because it has already been reformulated too much. I don’t think it is elegant or original. Perhaps it is my skin, but it does not last on me at all; I do not feel any strong note; it is so soft and I don’t like that. A Mancera with a spray is invasive, an Angel by Mugler is a bomb of versatile notes… It costs very dear for lasting so little.
I read so many wonders that I went to try it. As soon as they applied it to me, it reminded me of the perfume my brother used; I cannot identify which notes intensify on my skin, but I felt it very masculine, pleasant but masculine. Although I usually have a pH where perfumes last well, this disappeared in two hours; there was nothing of its scent left. It is not convenient in relation to its price.
Chance is the ventilated definition of Chanel’s essential identity: patchouli and vanilla. It is that airy, luminous, light, and sparkling base. It weighs nothing, ideal for daily life. It is ‘the Chanel for everyday life’: working, walking, studying… for every day. Personally, those who make me fall in love with the house I choose for their suitability for special occasions or to turn any day into a special one. I understand that, in appreciating that Chanel patchouli, there exists a lighter and more sparkling version for daily wear: Chance. I really like being near someone who wears it and the bottle seems precious to me.
I fully agree with @Lux and @Josesan: this is the house’s perfume designed for daily life, for those who do not want to give up luxury and elegance but seek something less opulent. It is classy, ideal for professional environments or daytime events. For me, Chance is a deconstruction of Chanel, a simplification down to its most basic DNA, managing the patchouli brilliantly. After the spicy pepper opening, the heart appears with a clean jasmine and the powdery touch of iris. The base is that classic woody mix of patchouli and vanilla found in many Chancels. In total, it is neither dry nor sweet; it is very balanced, sober yet youthful and sparkling. It has a moderate trail and lasts about 7-8 hours. I do not have the EDP, but the EDT, which is less formal, more fruity, and more relaxed. I also have Coco Mademoiselle, with the same base but more floral and modern. I like the EDP but would not buy it again for feeling it repetitive. Scent 7/10, Longevity 7.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value for money 6.5/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy it again? No, I did not buy it.
I tested it and I want it again. The opening with that rich pepper that reaches your soul, then moving to a romantic and fine jasmine, and finally to that mix of musk, patchouli, and vanilla that gives it elegance and sophistication. It reminds me of a luxury salon with pearl-wearing ladies. Although it evokes opulence, it is modern and pleasant, suitable for any age. I have received many compliments with it and the best thing is that it lasts a long time; it is enveloping and masterful. I love this perfume; I think every woman should use it; it is worth paying for it ❤️
I didn’t like it; I think I am not a fan of ‘acidic’ scents, I dislike them quite a bit, or perhaps I felt the patchouli too much. I prefer sweet and floral scents with character. It seems very fresh, soft, and youthful. I don’t think it will make an impact, but it is ideal for everyday wear if you like this type of aroma.
I don’t like it at all; it makes me want to 🤢. The mix of patchouli and musk is too intense, although the white flowers are noticeable. I feel it is the perfume of an elegant lady.
I agree with several comments… I didn’t like it at all. It resulted in a shrill, strong, and unharmonious scent. Perhaps it is my perception, but for tastes, smells 😄😉.
I tested it face-to-face with the EDT version and have to say I prefer this one. On my skin, it smells much more of pink pepper with jasmine than of the patchouli and musk promised by the notes. It has a slightly bitter air and, to be honest, I don’t think it is a nice scent. For Chanel, it smells quite boring and I have heard it in hundreds of other perfumes. Its trail is low and the longevity is also poor. I prefer the Eau de Toilette.
To me, this perfume is the essence of a lost simplicity: something that doesn’t force itself but flows naturally, as if time itself created it. It is an elegance that fits anywhere, close and tender. There are things that age well and bring back past illusions, leaving behind what no longer serves us. Although some may find it musty or boring, to me it is unforgettable, as if I had smelled it on someone else before. It accompanies you to the ends of the earth without losing its way; it is super versatile, from sweet and soapy to fresh and woody. It is kind, even if not everyone likes it, and stays true to the wearer. It is an misunderstood jewel, a second skin that seeks you and adapts to you, without doubting whether you love or hate it. If you try it, forget the opinions and discover if it is yours.
Chance, Chanel Eau de Parfum version, is elegance in a bottle, without flashiness, perfect in its simplicity, a classic reinterpreted with the house’s stamp. In my case, it behaves as a floral with a well-marked musk accord and is almost unisex at a point; it’s sober and for formal occasions, I think it’s the heir to Chanel’s classicism. Personally, I prefer the floral aspect over the citrus interpretation of Coco Mademoiselle. Two sprays are enough for me to feel perfumed for hours; a perfect fragrance with character. Who will like it: lovers of old-school musk.
Truthfully, it’s a fragrance of excellent quality and very intense. With this, you can’t overdo the sprays. If you don’t like patchouli or iris, don’t even try it. Its dry down becomes more avianilla-like and sweet, and therefore more wearable. It’s quite formal and totally feminine.
The best Chanel perfume for daily wear.
It seemed too stately to me; I don’t usually say this, but it feels like it should look better on a man, old-fashioned and without flair. For a woman, I really didn’t like it. It’s true that Zara’s Amber Fusion goes down that path and, honestly, I prefer it (though it’s more subtle). If you need a formal perfume and don’t want to spend, I’d go for the Zara version; they aren’t dupes but very on trend, saving for the obvious differences.
It’s an essential perfume… you must own and wear it like a jewel because it is… a diamond that makes you feel exquisite. It’s not suitable for young women who prefer to smell like a sweet shop and blend in with the crowd… it’s simple yet extremely distinguished without becoming stately… one of Chanel’s best, without a doubt… I love it.
I bought it many years ago, gave it plenty of time to mature and used it often, yet it’s always a disappointment: it lacks character, trail, and longevity. It’s an easy, mainstream fragrance that caters to mass taste. A bit washed out. It has neither the vibe of CCM nor CC. I won’t buy it again: the price doesn’t match its performance in longevity, fixation, and trail. A letdown.
I received a sample with a Chanel purchase. It adds refinement, formality, and class. It has personality and is versatile, ideal for work and as a signature scent. You can detect the pink pepper, the almost animalic musk, and the patchouli. It has intensity and good projection. It’s a timeless classic, but I wouldn’t recommend it blindly due to the note combination and because it’s not the typical soft perfume. I’ll probably buy it after finishing the Eau Tendre, as plain Chance hasn’t left me indifferent.
I wore it on a 17-degree morning and I didn’t like it. It seems masculine to me; it reminds me of my husband’s perfume. I think I’ll stick with the Eau Tendre version.
For me, it’s one of the most stylish scents that exist. The composition is brilliant, incredibly beautiful. The trail is brutal and the longevity is excellent.
Smells like money, literally. Reminds me of my rich aunts from childhood, but without that old-lady scent; it’s true old money. It feels like aged fruit, a touch of acid, a hint of sweetness, purple florals, and even notes of bills and cash. Maybe it’s because the tips I used to receive were soaked in their perfume. It doesn’t smell like an old lady, but rather expensive lipstick and luxury makeup. I imagine a serious woman in a luxury shopping centre or today’s Coco Chanel, or someone with Carolina Herrera’s style. It lasts and projects enormously; on my clothes, it lasted for days. Once a decant broke and the bathroom smelled until I did a deep clean. It exudes class and opulence. If it never drops in price, there must be a reason. If you’re looking for something with a similar vibe, try Zara’s Amber Fusion: it’s not identical, but it gives a similar vibe and smells lovely, though Amber Fusion smells like a thousand dollars while Chance smells like a million. Delicious.
