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

- ●Patchouli-vetiver base adds depth that avoids sweetness
- ●The most versatile of the Chance siblings
Trade-offs
