Chance Eau de Toilette by Chanel

It’s my go-to perfume. I tried Eau Tendre before and it made me gag, but I always come back to Chance. There’s no rival. People always ask what I’m wearing and praise it. It’s sophisticated, fresh, long-lasting, and unique. I have so much affection for it.

I’ve had it since before I started collecting perfumes; it was a gift, and ever since then, I’ve known that patchouli isn’t for me. If you like that note, it’s your perfume. It’s strong from the first spray and lingers in the dry down. For me, so much patchouli is intolerable, and I didn’t like it. It has good longevity and projection, not for very young people, but for those 30 or older.

Serious, formal, and elegant, without a doubt. It gives me the impression that I’m distancing myself from people when I wear it; I imagine a stern but regal boss with this. My 14-year-old son said it smells like kitchen spices, haha.

I smelled it when I was about ten; my aunt had it. I remember the citrus notes, it was wonderful. I admit that back then, even though it’s a feminine fragrance, it seemed a bit unisex to me, perhaps due to the vetiver. An exquisite fragrance. It’s one of the few that has stayed so vividly etched in my memory.

I own this perfume; it’s the second bottle I’ve used, but lately, I feel it doesn’t please me as much as before; the intensity of the patchouli feels immense to me. Next time, I think I’ll get the EDP. Longevity 9/10.

I had left a review and don’t know if they deleted it, but I was coming to recommend against it for young people. I wanted something formal for work and bought it blindly; it was a mistake; it’s literally a very old-lady aroma, super strong. I’m going to give it to my grandmother.

I bought a partial of Chance EDT at a flea market years ago. At first, I didn’t like it, but after a few hours, the trail was amazing. Now I enjoy it all. After the citrus, it smells like pineapple, lime, jasmine, and lots of patchouli. It has a subtle sweetness and the Chanel DNA. As it dries down, it loses the fruity notes and becomes powdery. It seems identical to the EDP, but fruitier and juicier at the start. My favorite is the EDT: it lasts an hour less but conquers with that fruity sweetness. I spray it on clothes to make it last longer. It vaguely reminds me of Coco Mademoiselle, but more floral. It’s one of Chanel’s lightest versions. Moderate trail, 6-7 hours duration. It’s formal; I wear it to project seriousness and elegance with vitality, like at work dinners. Can be daily for other settings. Scent 7.5/10, Longevity 6.5/10, Sillage 7/10, Value 6.5/10, Versatility 6.5/10, Packaging 6.5/10. Would I buy again? Probably.

Sweet for the young; my daughter uses it. I agree with the pH; a good choice for women aged 20 to 35.

I love this fragrance. When I tested the entire Chance line, this was the one I liked the most, and I bought it. It screams ELEGANCE and REFINEMENT. It makes me feel like a refined, expensive woman. Its versatility is incredible; I use it in all seasons and moments. In fact, I used to wear it to clubs because it made me feel fancy, and it’s not a night perfume at all. I recommend it 100%. The longevity is quite good for an EDT.

I heard it was an improved version of the EDP, but I didn’t agree with those opinions. For me, it’s almost identical to the EDP; the pineapple note is very subtle and gives it a fresher touch, but it maintains the EDP DNA and the elegance of a Chanel (if you don’t own this fragrance, you couldn’t tell the difference between the EDP and EDT). Longevity is about 6 hours (the EDP lasts longer), and projection is moderate for the first few hours, then it drops. A good option

Chanel is a great, famous, and legendary luxury brand with impeccable status, but it’s not for everyone, and that’s reflected in their perfumes—you either hate them or love them. Personally, I find it exquisite and incredibly delicious. It doesn’t immediately remind me of Coco Mademoiselle; rather, it feels like a second act of it—like the missing notes from the first were added here under a different name. Once applied, it has a hint that recalls Mademoiselle. It’s a fruity-floral scent with spicy sparks, tender, soft, clean-smelling, and turns into pure sensuality. It lasts forever, even lingering on clothes after washing; for me, it’s one of Chanel’s best fragrances, though they definitely have some misses too. This perfume has a beautiful bottle, a fitting name, and an aroma full of class and elegance.

My husband gifted this to me, and honestly, I can’t wait for it to run out. At 25, I prefer sweeter, softer scents. This one feels like it’s made for someone older—authoritative, experienced, and full of personality. It comes across as very formal and a bit bitter, but the longevity is incredible; I absolutely love that part. (I just bought Nina Rouge and Nina, and in the end, it was money down the drain; Nina Rouge doesn’t last at all, it’s a rip-off).

I absolutely love it; it suits me perfectly, even though I’m not exactly a young girl anymore. I’m passionate about floral and fresh scents. I can’t stand pink pepper and usually avoid it, but here everything fits flawlessly. It has incredible longevity and sillage—I can still smell it six hours later. It’s feminine and elegant; one of my favorites.

To me, it’s the best perfume in history and the king of all Chances. Even though it’s a toilette, its longevity is enormous—you can tell for days. It’s my wife’s favorite; she hasn’t even finished the last bottle and she’s already insisting I buy her another. Its scent and longevity make up for the high price. Simply exquisite for young, sensual women.

In the designer line, perfumes tend to be abstract and unrealistic—something Chanel has always defended, creating compositions beyond a simple blend. Sometimes they achieve it with grace and other times less so, hehe. I like this one despite having two important notes that aren’t usually to my taste: patchouli and white musk, that hazy or powdery one as I call it. I’m very sensitive to the latter, so this perfume works very well for me. Despite not being a fan of those notes, the final effect is pleasant because it presents other nuances and facets that give it life and mystery. It has a fresh accord from the lemon, another fruity and sweet one from the pineapple and vanilla, and to a lesser extent, something serious from the pink pepper and flowers. This house recycles the same accords a lot; I suppose they say it’s to create a signature, but sometimes I think it’s to save work. Patchouli is the star in Allure Sensuelle and all the Mademoiselles, and pink pepper is in Allure Blanche, along with tangerine, peach, and opoponax. It’s something I criticize, but fine, it’s a brand whose perfumes I see, in general, above the average of designers, with some better than countless niche brands.
