what other fragrances do you think she will enjoy?
This is for a friend of mine wife. She is 40. Chance was given to her by him, so I am not sure if she likes it because it was a present or because she enjoys the notes.
I wanted to suggest Angel but since I never smelled Chance before I am not sure.
Thanks in advance for your help

Coco Mademoiselle is a better Floriental than Chance. In fact I don't know why Chanel bothered making Chance in the first place.

I agree with GourmandHomme--Chance followed closely behind Coco Mlle and they have quite a bit in common.

Definitely agree with the suggestion of Coco Mademoiselle! Or, even a better suggestion: a gift certificate to a Chanel counter -- let them all have fun sniffing together and also a family bonding experience. She might really surprise you and spend it all on lipsticks or Egoiste.

My wife likes Chance and hates Angel. Others my wife likes are Chanel Allure, Chanel Beige, Fendi Theorema, and L'Artisan La Chase Aux Papillions. I 'force' a lot of fragrances on her...lol...
