It’s quite linear, but that doesn’t stop me from being charmed… I personally detect a bitter orange at the start that blends with the jasmine, and deep down, the vanilla. I agree it’s similar to Coco Mademoiselle; I’d say Chance is the simpler version.
I like its scent; it’s characterized by being long-lasting and noticeable from about two meters away. Sometimes people ask me what I’m wearing, probably due to the intensity and longevity rather than the fragrance itself. Still, it’s one of my favorites, probably a slightly older scent, but I’d repurchase it if I had the chance; I loved it immensely and highly recommend it.
I loved it; it’s very minimalist, with a subtle, pleasant spicy note, faint flowers, and quite a bit of vanilla with musk. I’d consider it for autumn/winter without being heavy, since it feels sparkling in its dry-down. It has good longevity… I noticed it on my wrist for 12 hours. My only issue is that it has the same price as Coco Mademoiselle; we know that one is overwhelming and Chance stays as a fragrance with presence but discretion. In scent, they’re similar; Chance would be a simpler version of Mademoiselle without the fresh orange notes. On the other hand, for less money, I can buy Chance Eau Tendre, which has good longevity and sillage as an EDT. I’m not sure if I’d buy it… I’d prefer to restock Eau Tendre (my daily) or Mademoiselle (special occasions), but if it were a gift, I’d happily use it as a daily in autumn/winter. Within the Chance range, this is the most ‘Chanel’ alongside Eau Tendre.
I gifted myself this incredibly rich perfume; I loved it, though I don’t see the resemblance to Coco Mademoiselle, perhaps due to the patchouli, but Coco is more citrusy and this isn’t. I love it! I see it more for day than night, but it’s magnifique for all seasons.
Chance is an underrated fragrance, not due to lack of fame, but because its flankers have had more impact and overshadowed it (Eau Tendre and Eau Fraiche are the most notable). The Chance line is minimalist for most Chanel traditions, and it’s no coincidence. First, ‘Chance’—not as ‘Opportunity’ in English, but as ‘Luck’ or ‘Fortune’ in French—represents Chanel’s first fragrance without parallel rectangular lines; its bottle is a wheel of fortune. Chanel said: ‘Chance is a tornado… an open door to adventure and lips ready for a kiss.’ The scent resembles Coco Mademoiselle. It’s based on attenuated floral notes of jasmine with musk and vanilla; its musk fixative briefly reminds one of Narciso Rodriguez, but the pink pepper and patchouli eliminate that. As the vanilla fades, a spicy, voluptuous edge of pepper and patchouli emerges (closer to Coco Mademoiselle). In my experience, there are hints of rose, but they aren’t defining. It’s the most aromatic and conceptually sober fragrance from Chanel, the most versatile and innocent within the EDPs. Its elegant qualities blend with a sporty touch that speeds up its movement and functionality. Its bold handling of jasmine and musk gives it seriousness without being hard to wear. It’s enthusiastic; its joy sets it apart from the maison’s usual assertive cut. Jacques Polge, in my opinion the best perfumer at Chanel alongside Ernest Beaux, gave it the appropriate emblem, although the line has declined with the arrival of the ‘fruity’ Eau Vive. Compared to Coco Mademoiselle, both are long-lasting, but Chance has a more restrained and humble sillage, without falling into imperceptibility (Coco was overwhelming at the start, while Chance was always more reserved). Chance isn’t a product of luck; it’s a respectable fragrance. Fun fact: it’s not pronounced ‘Chans’ like in English, but ‘Chons’ like in French, just like in the commercials.
Perhaps my experience with this perfume was a bit personal, and its fame is justified for others. My performance is average; that musk everyone praises doesn’t do much for me… I catch hints of that vanilla-sandalwood that Chanel overuses, plus some jasmine, but it’s totally negligible.
Chanel is always elegance and quality, and Chance is no exception. Although its composition is simple and minimalist, it’s sublime, very elegant, opulent, and dense. It’s a lovely, fragrant jasmine surrounded by musk, with a touch of vanilla over a bed of patchouli. It makes an impression; its longevity and sillage are excellent, and it has everything to captivate.
Delicious, elegant, and feminine, yet still fun and unique. It has a peculiar, original scent that makes you feel put-together; it doesn’t go unnoticed and has good longevity.
Soft, fresh, and elegant, plus it lasts quite a while. It might go unnoticed at first, but in the end, it wins you over.
Chance is a safe bet, super easy to love and incredibly versatile; you can wear it day or night, in cold or heat, and it always looks great.
I agree with what was read in comments about it being minimalist. It’s an excellent perfume for any occasion. It’s elegant. I really feel the pink pepper, jasmine, and patchouli, and they seem very well crafted. On my skin, it lasts up to 8 hours, has moderate sillage, and isn’t overwhelming. It’s a perfume that could please everyone. It’s sophisticated in its simplicity, very “chic”—always a Chanel, with everything that IMPLIES—but in this case, I see it as appropriate for a younger audience. On my part, I wear it during the day when I have work meetings and need to project an image that is both serious and cool. It’s among my must-haves.
Coco Noir meets Shalimar Parfum Initial. I’m debuting with this beautiful floral, musky, patchouli, and slightly balsamic perfume. It smells like an updated classic, but I don’t think it’s a youthful scent; in my opinion, it’s more mature, for a professional, independent, and confident woman. When it first came out, it was very similar to Chance EDT (or rather, Chance EDT was similar to this, because the EDP came out first), and in the dry-down, it reminds me a lot of Coco Noir due to the patchouli, which gives the jasmine a balsamic and elegant touch. Also, at certain moments, it reminds me of Shalimar Parfum Initial; I assume the iris note is what makes me think of it. So, to my nose, it’s a very balanced, mature, and elegant floral blend, but also very versatile; I see it well for the office, casual outings, or formal events… Chance EDP will be a worthy companion for both jeans with boots and a nice sweater and a black dress; I also think it can be worn day or night and practically all year round, perhaps just avoiding the hottest summer days. Decided, it’s entered my top 10.
An elegant perfume. With the same DNA as Coco Mademoiselle but less sweet, perhaps more serious. Suitable for all seasons, it never disappoints, and it has excellent longevity. 100% elegant.
I didn’t like it! It felt too simple for such a famous and meticulous house as Chanel… I still stick with Chanel No. 5 and No. 19, although the latter has been hard to find again. Greetings from Mexico.
I just bought a second-hand bottle; according to the code, it’s from 2013. I had it a long time ago, back when it launched, and I remember it as fresh, youthful, feminine, and jovial. I don’t know if it’s that my sense of smell has gotten used to it over time, but now I feel a masculine touch. I review the comments and don’t see any mention of this. I apply it and feel that sensation again in the base of some note that reminds me of men’s cologne… I didn’t like it altogether.
One day, on a trip that feels like it was years ago (2018), we were finishing lunch at a small restaurant in Rome, near the Colosseum. Almost as dessert, my companion and I were drinking water and waiting for the bill. A couple entered, a man and a woman. She, young, left a delicious perfume trail. We were a meter apart, and every now and then, that beautiful aroma reached us. Even my companion said she smelled great. After regretting other times not asking, I gathered my courage, used my respectful English, and told her her perfume smelled wonderful and asked if she could tell me what it was. Her answer: Chance by Chanel. Of course! I already knew and respected it; I had used a dupe years before but didn’t recognize it. Why? Because in this young woman, fresh flowers stood out with a glorious sweet base. On my skin, the original (not the dupe) dries very differently: it doesn’t stay sweet, but fresh with a green, woody touch, not dry, an accord I associate with the dry-down of vetiver that reminds me a lot of the dry-down of Coco Mademoiselle. Knowing about its three versions, I was left itching to ask which one she was wearing (EDT, EDP, or Parfum) to avoid interrupting her too much… Would she have used soft vanilla cream underneath? Something makes me think it might have been the Parfum version, but I can only keep trying every Chance I come across. Hahaha.
I clearly remember Christmas 2005: the cold didn’t stop us from going to bars, because at 16, the weather doesn’t matter; what you want is to go out, expectant and excited, even if those seedy places might wait for a group of leeches until you’re drunk before letting you in. Many friends smelled of Armani Code, which I liked but wasn’t for me. I knew exactly what I was going to order that Christmas and waited for it with a desire I don’t remember having before; I had smelled it in a perfumery and didn’t want to smell anything else. My first Chanel, the only one. The first fragrance I fell in love with as it truly was, as a teenager. I spent hours admiring my 50 ml bottle, opening the cap and smelling it. I saved it for weekends, and it became my signature. Since then, I’ve had other fragrances and tried to return to Chance, or rather, to what it produced in me, but the chemistry is gone. It has become an old love that you’re excited to see but you’d never go out with again. Maybe it’s just that I associate it with a very specific (and difficult) moment in my life. Undoubtedly, it’s a fragrance I’d gift to a young woman; it still seems cheerful, minimalist, perfect for any occasion with the Chanel seal, but the woman I’ve become no longer identifies with it.
One of my favorite Chanel scents, for a woman who is discreet, feminine, elegant, and has personality. To me, it’s a Coco Mademoiselle without citrus notes and more reserved. The longevity is about 8 hours, but after two hours, it projects subtly; with the wind, you can feel its presence.
Chanel broke the mold with the bottle of this perfume. Before, they were square bottles, but with Chance, they created a round and very distinctive one. It’s for women of all ages, with a classic and formal vibe; athletic wear clashes with it. On my skin, the patchouli stands out, natural, with a spicy kick of pink pepper and jasmine. It’s comfortable, ideal for work or meetings, and shines more during the day with its aromatic splendor—something masculine yet blending well with discreet florals. It has good longevity and moderate sillage. “Luck” is its name; let’s see if wearing it brings us luck. It’s for practical, formal women. It smells similar to Coco Mademoiselle, but this one is more floral and the patchouli is the same. A good creation, it’s all-terrain, less for night (personal opinion) and not seductive.
Two decades ago, this perfume was a class jewel, something few of us could afford, but now that it’s within everyone’s reach, I’ve found fragrances that outshine it a thousand times. It’s a work of art, but very classic, almost outdated. I wouldn’t recommend it for going out, but it’s perfect for solo enjoyment.
I don’t like it, maybe because it’s been reformulated too much. It doesn’t seem elegant or original to me. Maybe it’s my skin, but it doesn’t last at all; I don’t feel any strong notes, it’s so soft, and that’s not something I like. A Mancera with a spray is invasive, an Angel by Mugler is a bomb of versatile notes… It costs way too much to last so little.
I read so many wonders that I decided to try it. As soon as they applied it to me, it reminded me of the perfume my brother used; I can’t identify which notes intensify on my skin, but I felt it was very masculine, pleasant but distinctly masculine. Although I usually have a pH where perfumes last well, this disappeared in two hours; there was nothing left of its scent. It’s not worth it considering its price.
Chance is the ventilated definition of Chanel’s essential identity: patchouli and vanilla. It’s that airy, luminous, light, and sparkling base. It weighs nothing, ideal for daily life. It’s ‘the Chanel for everyday life’: working, walking, studying… for every day. Personally, the ones from the house that make me fall in love are chosen for their suitability for special occasions or for turning any day into a special one. I understand that, in appreciating that Chanel patchouli, there exists a lighter, more sparkling version for daily wear: Chance. I really like being near someone who wears it, and the bottle seems precious.
I fully agree with @Lux and @Josesan: this is the house’s perfume designed for daily life, for those who don’t want to give up on luxury and elegance but are looking for something less opulent. It’s classy, ideal for professional settings or daytime events. For me, Chance is a deconstruction of Chanel, a simplification down to its most basic DNA, handling the patchouli brilliantly. After the spicy pepper opening, the heart reveals a clean jasmine and the powdery touch of iris. The base is that classic woody blend of patchouli and vanilla found in many Chancels. Overall, it’s neither dry nor sweet; it’s very balanced, sober yet youthful and sparkling. It has moderate sillage and lasts about 7-8 hours. I have the EDT, not the EDP, which is less formal, more fruity, and carefree. I also own Coco Mademoiselle, which shares the same base but is more floral and modern. I like the EDP but wouldn’t buy it again because I find it repetitive. Scent 7/10, Longevity 7.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value/Price 6.5/10, Versatility 6/10, Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy it again? No.
I tried it and I want it again. The opening with that rich pepper that reaches your soul, then moving into a romantic and fine jasmine, and finally into that blend of musk, patchouli, and vanilla that gives it elegance and sophistication. It reminds me of a luxury salon with pearl-clad ladies. Although it evokes opulence, it’s modern and pleasant, suitable for any age. I’ve received many compliments with it, and the best part is that it lasts a long time; it’s enveloping and masterful. I love this perfume; I think every woman should use it, it’s worth the price ❤️
I didn’t like it; I think I’m not a fan of ‘acidic’ scents, which I find quite unpleasant, or perhaps I just detected too much patchouli. I prefer sweet and floral scents with character. It seems very fresh, soft, and youthful. I don’t think it makes a big impact, but it’s ideal for everyday wear if you like this type of aroma.
I don’t like it at all; it makes me want to 🤢. The mix of patchouli and musk is too intense, although you can faintly detect some white flowers. It feels like the perfume of an elegant older woman.
I agree with several comments… I didn’t like it at all. It came across as a shrill, strong, and unharmonious scent. Maybe it’s just my perception, but for tastes, smells 😄😉.
I tested it side-by-side with the EDT version and have to say I prefer this one. On my skin, it smells mostly of pink pepper with jasmine, rather than the patchouli and musk the notes promised. It has a slightly bitter air, and honestly, it doesn’t seem like a pretty scent. For Chanel, it smells quite boring, and I’ve heard it in hundreds of other perfumes. The sillage is low, and the longevity is too. I prefer the Eau de Toilette.
For me, this perfume is the essence of a lost simplicity: something effortless, flowing naturally, as if time itself created it. It’s an elegance that fits anywhere, intimate and tender. Some things age beautifully, carrying illusions of the past while leaving behind what no longer serves us. While some might find it old-fashioned or boring, to me it’s unforgettable, like I’ve smelled it on someone else before. It stays with you to the ends of the earth without ever going out of tune; it’s super versatile, ranging from sweet and soapy to fresh and woody. It’s kind, even if not everyone likes it, and it stays true to the person wearing it. It’s an misunderstood jewel, a second skin that seeks you out and adapts to you, without caring if you love or hate it. If you try it, forget the opinions and discover if it’s yours.
Chanel Chance Eau de Parfum is elegance in a bottle, without flashiness, perfect in its simplicity, a classic reinterpreted with the house’s stamp. In my case, it behaves florally, with a well-marked musk accord and at a point that’s almost unisex; it’s sober and for formal occasions, I think it’s the heir to Chanel’s classicism. Personally, I prefer the floral side over the citrus interpretation of Coco Mademoiselle. Two sprays are enough for me to feel perfumed for hours, a perfect and characterful fragrance. Who will like it: lovers of old-school musk.
Honestly, it’s a fragrance of excellent quality and very intense. Don’t overdo the sprays with this. If you don’t like patchouli or iris, don’t even try it. The dry down becomes more vanilla-like and sweet, making it wearable. It’s quite formal and totally feminine.
Chanel’s best perfume for daily wear.
It felt too old-lady-like to me, I don’t usually say this, but it seems like it should look better on a man. For a woman, I really didn’t like it. It’s true that Zara’s Amber Fusion is heading that way and honestly, I prefer it (even though it’s more subtle). If you need a formal perfume and don’t want to spend, I’d go with the Zara version; they aren’t dupes but very on trend, saving for the obvious differences.
It’s an essential perfume… you need to own and wear it like a jewel because it is… a diamond that makes you feel exquisite. It’s not suitable for young women who prefer to smell like candy stores and mass-produced… it’s simple yet extremely distinguished without being old-lady-like… undoubtedly one of Chanel’s best… I love it.
I bought it many years ago, gave it plenty of time to mature and use, and it’s always a letdown: it lacks character, sillage, and longevity. It’s an easy, mainstream fragrance that caters to the masses. Washed-up. It doesn’t have the vibe of either CCM or CC. I won’t buy it again: the price doesn’t match its performance in longevity, fixation, and sillage. It’s a bust.
I received a sample with a Chanel purchase. It adds refinement, formality, and class. It has personality and is versatile, perfect for work and as a signature scent. You can detect the pink pepper, the almost animalic musk, and the patchouli. It has intensity and good projection. It’s a timeless classic, but I don’t recommend it blindly due to the note combination and because it’s not your typical soft perfume. I’ll probably pick it up after finishing the Eau Tendre, since Chance on its own hasn’t left me indifferent.
I wore it on a 17-degree morning and I DIDN’T LIKE IT. It feels masculine to me, reminds me of my husband’s perfume. I think I’ll stick with the Eau Tendre version.
For me, it’s one of the most stylish scents out there. The composition is amazing, incredibly beautiful. The trail is brutal and the longevity is top-notch.
Smells like money, literally. Reminds me of my rich aunties from childhood, but nothing grandma-like; it’s old money. Feels like aged fruit, a touch acidic, slightly sweet, purple flowers, and even notes of bills and cash. Maybe it’s because the tips they gave me were soaked in their perfume. It doesn’t smell like grandma, but rather expensive lipstick and luxury makeup. I imagine a serious woman in a luxury mall or today’s Coco Chanel, or someone with Carolina Herrera’s style. It lasts and projects incredibly; on clothes, it lasted for days. Once a decant broke and the whole bathroom smelled until I did a deep clean. It exudes class and opulence. Since the price never drops, there must be a reason. If you’re looking for something with the same vibe, try Zara’s Amber Fusion: it’s not identical, but it gives a similar vibe and smells great, even if Amber Fusion smells like a thousand dollars and Chance smells like a million. Delicious.
