Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel

My mom has the deodorant version and it smells different; I have a review comparing them. On her, it smells great with tender, fruity notes; on me, it smells terrible, like pine and floor cleaner with persistent, nauseating florals. I’m so disappointed. I tested it in the afternoon by the Mediterranean coast and it was a disaster. It vanished in two hours, and what little it lasted was a shrill air freshener trail that put me in a bad mood. It’s not youthful, even if it’s fresh; if you like that pine-and-amber buzz, this is your worst nightmare. Out of all the Chances, only Eau Vive satisfies me—I bathe in it, just like Marilyn Monroe said. ✨

One of my favorites for spring or cool days. Lasts all day, especially on clothes. So delicious! 🩷

Chance Eau Tendre is a beautiful fragrance—a cool fruity style from Chanel. I detect lots of quince and the house’s signature musk, giving it a slightly talcum-clean finish; it’s casual yet formal, feminine and elegant, perfect for a great first impression and an almost flawless gift for any woman. Performance is good, projection is moderate but noticeable, and longevity in my case is seven hours or more; on clothes, it lasts two days without issue. Overall, it’s less sober and more youthful than the original Chance, but equally luxurious, silent, and impactful.

Light Elegance: The opening is lively and sparkling thanks to the citrus notes, which quickly give way to a delicate floral bouquet, like a freshly cut bouquet. It’s youthful, carefree, and elegant, with that light touch that hooks you at first. As it dries down, it changes quite a bit: iris emerges, making it powdery with a more distinguished air. If you love powdery scents, you’ll enjoy this; if not, it might shock you. It doesn’t have great sillage or projection, and longevity depends heavily on skin chemistry, but it’s usually moderate. Perfect for spring and summer, for everyday wear, office, or university, and even as a gift (it’s one of Chanel’s most-gifted fragrances due to its fresh, youthful profile). Works great in casual, bright settings, but not so much for elegant nights or cold weather. My rating: 8/10. A beautiful, fresh, and delicate fragrance, ideal for those seeking light elegance and easy wearability.

I bought this EDT blind yesterday (online) and it was supposed to arrive next week. A couple of hours ago, my boyfriend and I happened to pass by a perfumery. I went in and tested this one. Horrible. I didn’t like the opening, but especially the dry-down, which I dislike, and the scent lingers quite a bit. It doesn’t smell floral to me. It smelled one way on blotter paper, but on my skin, it left a strong, somewhat bitter and green odor, almost mossy. I don’t know what it is, but I can still smell it and I’m about to wash my wrist—I can’t take it anymore. It feels strong; a little more and I’d feel nauseous or dizzy. My boyfriend says it smells like air freshener, not like something a person should wear. I canceled the order as soon as I got home. Moral of the story: don’t buy perfumes blind, no matter how good the reviews are.

I’ve had this for two years and it’s crazy: now it lasts all day, whereas before it barely lasted two hours. The scent waves are spectacular, but I feel suffocated by that musky note that dries out my throat. What a pity; it’s very feminine, but that powdery finish kills me.

Such a lovely, fresh, and fruity scent; it smells like my Barbies from childhood. It’s youthful, coquettish, and pink with its tenderness, ideal for spring and summer. I prefer it over the EDP; it’s super feminine for daytime. On my dry skin, it lasts about 6-8 hours, and on clothes, more than a day.

My ultimate favorite, it’s a love. I get so many compliments; it’s a white floral with citrus and very musky, smelling like shower gel. It’s tender yet sophisticated—you love it blindly—and it’s perfect as a gift. A real gem.

It smells like Barbie, and unsurprisingly, it’s the perfume my boyfriend praises the most.

Slightly sweet floral with a citrus top and dry-down. The scent is beautiful and perfect for daily heat, but that citrus note started to bother me until I couldn’t tolerate it anymore. I advise trying it before buying.

I think it’s a nice fragrance; it smells like expensive body wash, but it didn’t blow my mind. It’s pretty, but I feel it’s too pricey for what it is, plus it has almost no sillage and doesn’t last on my skin at all. I’d rather just buy the Zara dupe.

It’s still one of my favorites alongside Miracle by Lancôme… A feminine and sophisticated aroma. I love it.

It smells like hand cream, but the kind that gives you a headache, for ladies.

Sometimes fragrances don’t need to be complex to be truly enchanting. Chance Eau Tendre is a perfect example. It’s beautiful, clean, feminine, elegant, fresh, and it brings me peace when I wear it. It’s the second one I own, and I won’t hesitate to repurchase.

I simply love it. It’s an exquisite, fresh, and feminine fragrance. On my skin, it lasts about 6 hours, and on clothes, much longer.
