Chanel

Chance Eau Fraîche EDT

2007

Fresh citrus with elegant bones — the Chance you'd actually recommend.

Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche
woody
citrus
aromatic

The fresh-citrus 2007 entry in Chanel's Chance line — Jacques Polge's launch, the brightest, most daytime-leaning member of the line. Lemon at the top, a jasmine heart, settling on a vetiver-musk drydown. A spring and summer daytime fragrance.

The take

What works

  • Citron-hyacinth opening is the best in the Chance line
  • Patchouli-vetiver base adds depth that avoids sweetness
  • The most versatile of the Chance siblings

Trade-offs

  • Longevity falls well short of Chanel pricing expectations
  • Projection demands a reapply after a few hours
