Chants Tenderina by Maison Alhambra

It’s basically Chanel’s Chance Eau Tendre. I absolutely love it. Before buying this, I tried the Prüne 4 mentioned below… disgusting, nothing like it. It smells of alcohol and repulses me. This is the real deal Chance from Chanel. If you don’t feel the same, you probably bought it on MercadoLibre; they often sell fakes. You need to find a trusted importer. How delicious it is, please… and at this price, it’s perfect for daily use without a second thought.

I bought this perfume because I love Prüne 4 (it’s Argentine, but it doesn’t last at all; now that I have it super old, it does last 4 hours, but it’s strong). I found out it’s a dupe of Chanel’s Chance in its Eau Tendre version and went looking for dupes of that scent that fascinates me. I found this one, and as soon as I smelled it, I thought: no, no, what a beautiful aroma, for the love of God! It’s the same as Prüne 4, which in turn is the same as Chance Tendre. BINGO! It’s fine, elegant, feminine, fresh, and floral. It’s versatile; I’d use it in spring, summer, and autumn, day and night. I’d reserve it more for outings than for everyday wear, because it gives off a vibe of being put together, made up, ready to go out (anywhere), receive visitors, or for those days when you want to look more put together, I don’t know how to explain it. I feel that using it every day would lose that elegance the scent has, as if I’d “burn” it. For everyday wear, I’d use more Mayar by Lattafa, Yara by Tous, Green Jazmine by Benetton, Gotas de Color by ARDLP, Intimate Daydream by WS, Maracuyá by Natura, and Incanto Eterno and Incanto di Fiore by Tucci. Chants Tenderina by Maison Alhambra has the triple B: good, beautiful, and cheap.

I think it’s a good inspiration of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre at a price well below the original. Considering that the performance of Chanel isn’t a wonder for me, I will continue buying, without a doubt, this version by Maison Alhambra.

A floral fragrance, soft, fresh and very feminine. Ideal for warm climates.

At first, I was a bit doubtful because the alcohol and that strange touch—perhaps synthetic, or simply the vetiver that doesn’t suit me—muddy the fragrance a little. But after ten minutes, the romance begins: it’s clean, fresh, with juicy fruits and flowers that aren’t overwhelming, with a subtle vanilla sweetness that smells like nectar. What I notice most are the rose, jasmine, bergamot, sweet lime, quince, and lots of musk. The quince isn’t listed but is in the original it imitates, Chanel’s Chance; although they list peach, to me it smells fresher and juicier than acidic, like a lemon but without being one. Chant Tenderina doesn’t bother anyone; it’s innocent and pure tenderness. Its pink, round bottle brings comfort, ideal for those infernal summers when you feel like you’ve just had a shower. Perfect for spring and summer in shared spaces, with a sporty or casual look, though there’s no problem using it at night or in the cold. I bought it in winter but used it in summer because it fades in the cold; if strong perfumes give you a headache, here’s your option. I’ve always been drawn to it as a dupe of Chanel’s Chance at a ridiculously low price, doubting if the rose would be that typical mature, strong rose from Arab perfumes, but here it’s fresh, youthful, and delicate, like Lancôme’s. It might appeal to teenagers or older people; my 70-year-old mother loved it so much she bought three bottles. One day at the office, I smelled a delicious, clean aroma, like shampoo, and upon asking, it was that perfume I’d been putting off. I bought it for myself, and my mother also craved it. Regarding longevity: it’s not the best nor comparable to Arab perfumes, lasting between 3 and 6 hours. I advise applying it on clothes so it fixes better; I find I smell it for a short while, but on the office lady, I felt it projecting strongly for hours, I think it generates olfactory fatigue. In summary, it’s a pretty, versatile fragrance that doesn’t bother and is ideal for feeling clean and fresh. Its price is super low (between $12 and $20), so it doesn’t cost anything to reapply. I would buy it again and want it to stay in my collection. Thanks, Maison Alhambra, for making pretty perfumes within everyone’s reach to smell and feel good.

Good.

I like it. It’s an easy-to-wear perfume that everyone likes. It doesn’t give you a headache. But it’s effective. I have Chanel Chance (the original, not the flanker Eau Tendre) and it’s similar, but it’s like a washed-out version of an original perfume (Chance) that is also quite washed-out. I would buy this again but not Chance, which is more expensive. Longevity and projection of 4 to 5 hours. The average of designer perfumes, but not of Arab ones, which are usually more long-lasting.

Fresh and versatile, it smells nice for daytime though it’s not identical to the original. I like the peach, rose, and jasmine notes, but it fades after three hours. For the price, it’s okay, but I wouldn’t buy it again as it wasn’t what I expected.

The fragrance is pretty and delicate, but it doesn’t resemble the original much as it smells more fruity. Also, its longevity is very poor. What a pity.

Very floral and soft, with iris and rose standing out. It lasts me an hour. It smells nice, is natural, and isn’t overpowering, but it doesn’t last. For the price, it’s decent, but I wouldn’t compare it to Chanel’s Chance, which has better quality.
