This starts out "31 Rue Cambon" (promising) and ends up "Allure" (disgusting). This fragrance has amazing sillage and longevity. It took an entire day of scrubbing to rid myself of this cheap smelling fruity, floral mess.

Yes I agree with the above. A very safe perfume. Perfect for the office. A definite Spring/Summer Scent. Very expensive as all chanel scents are but they do have lasting power.

Okay...so you will hate me for this..but it reminds me of Calamine lotion we had to put on bug bites as a child. That said...I like it anyway.

Chanel Chance

Notes: Pink pepper, Lemon, Hyacinth, Jasmine, Iris, Amber, Patchouli, Vetiver, White Musk (from Osmoz)

On first spraying Chance, I smell sweet and tart sugary candy in some kind of lemon-berry flavor. This note fades within minutes to reveal soft and powdery floral accord. There is something here that approaches the spicy carnation and rose quality I know from Chanel Coco--a fresh, cool and moist floral that also has a hot, spicy "bite". It is not rose or carnation per se, but the effect is similar without evoking the flower itself. In the mid-development, the lemon-berry note comes back. It maintains some bitter tartness in the composition as the sweet powder notes become more prominent. Chance has sanitized patchouli and vetiver in the base that gives the drydown a peppery, woody quality. I must admit, I really can't identify many individual notes. Above all, Chance smells synthetic and refined, a fruity-floral-goumand with an impenetrable glassy quality that prevents any kind of real deconstruction of the fragrance. It smells Chanel. It smells pink. It smells oriental. It is linear and pleasant, but doesn't reach nearly the artistry of the other mainstream Chanel offerings.
