“A balcony in Nice at 9am, croissant in hand, breeze off the water.”
Grapefruit and quince over a jasmine heart — Polge's 2010 EDT, the fruitier, lighter member of Chanel's Chance line. A clean iris drydown distinct from the heavier original Chance and its later flankers. Works best in spring and summer daytime. One of the best-selling Chanel feminine fragrances of the 2010s.
