“Pineapple, pink pepper, and patchouli — Chanel's youngest feminine, polished even when chaotic.”
Released 2002 as the founding launch of Chanel's Chance line — Jacques Polge's patchouli-pink-pepper composition, recognizable in the round-bottle shape that became one of Chanel's visual identities. Patchouli and pink pepper at the top, a jasmine heart, vetiver drydown. A spring daytime fragrance. Spawned the EDP, Eau Tendre, Eau Fraîche, and Parfum flankers.
