Chanel Chance eau de toilette review

          Chanel Chance is my newest perfume love. I was first introduced to Chance in lotion form, through a gift from my mother. The scent was so entrancing that I knew I would have to try it in fragrance form as well.

          The circular bottle is small, but charming. There's a reflective metal strip around the bottle. The lucite cap with the Chanel imprint needs to be pulled off (somewhat forcibly) to access the spray nozzle inside. I bought the 1.2 oz size. I'm trying to make it a habit of buying the small bottles of perfume. It's tempting to buy larger bottles, however I've only ever made it completely through one bottle of fragrance so far. I've also noticed that fragrances with fresh or delicate top notes can lose their character over time if not stored well. So smaller bottles it is!

           Chanel Chance is a a smooth and warm floral without bright top notes. I can't say for sure whether my nose knows, however there may be hints of vanilla, citrus, and pepper. There is a patchouli base note that gives it character. Patchouli is not normally my cup of tea, however it's growing on me. It makes for a well balanced scent.

          Overall Chance imparts a feeling of relaxed chic; it's cozy with a hint of mystery. I could wear it at home in sweats and a fuzzy sweater or with a more polished outfit out on the town. My little bottle is going to get a lot of love. I'm looking forward to trying the Eau Tendre and Eau Fraiche version of Chance, when I get the chance.

          Thanks for reading my review! Have you tried the Chanel Chance family? What notes can you discern? What are your current favorite scents?

Love, Dovey.
