Advantages: yummy smell, chanel!
Disadvantages: pricey
Chance is the newest of the Chanel fragrances, and by far the best. Its much less overpowering and heavy than previous scents such as No. 5, No. 19 and Coco.
I first experienced Chance when my dad bought it for my mum as a valentines day present...and now shes got to hide it from me because I cant keep my paws off it.
Chance is suitable for daily wear and for evening wear. Just give yourself a little spritz more than you would in the daytime to make the scent more intese for a night out. Chance goes well with a gorgeous LBD and some classy heels - and of course, your very best jewellery. It makes you really want to dress up and look fantastic. The mark of a good scent is one that makes you instantly feel good, and Chance achieves this so well.
Chance was created by Jacques Polge using Citron, White Musk, Pink Pepper, Orris Absolute, Jasmine, Fresh Vetiver, Amber of Patchouli and Hyacinth. Considering what some of the ingredients are, its amazing how light and sweet the scent is. If anybody has ever had the misfortune to encounter pure patchouli oil, you'll know exactly what I mean, its disgusting, headache indicung and actually makes me feel physically ill.
To me, Chance smells similar to Angel by Thierry Mugler and reminds me of chocolate and toffee scents. I love the thick disc like bottle, it feels and looks really glamorous, but then again, it is Chanel, its bound to feel glam!
Chance comes in a gorgeous pearlised pink box, its really pretty and looks wonderful on dressing tables. Its nice to see it every morning and you really look forward to spritzing it on.
The scent lasts all day and stays beautifully fresh. People constantly complement the scent.
Below are some details on how much you can expect to pay (roughly) for each size and edition of the scent.
Eau de toilette 50ml £31.50
Eau de toilette spray 50ml £35.00
Eau de toilette 100ml £50.00
Parfum 7.5ml £52.01
* Do remember that the Parfum is the pure version of the scent and is a tiny amount for alot of money because its extremely concentrated. It is more worthwhile to invest in a 100ml spray bottle *
Chance is said to be an embodiment of the emotions that a person feels when a new opportunity arises - a CHANCE. Chanel say that "when an exciting new opportunity comes along, your heart beats faster, your cheeks flush, you're breathless with thoughts of the possibilities to come." This is the philosophy behind Chance.
According to Chanel, Chance was created with daring young women in mind.
The bottle was designed by Jacques Helleu, when he first imagined Chance, the first thing that came to mind for him was a circle, because the only shape that can co-exist in harmony with the square of No 5 and share its timelessness. Little by little a pure bottle emerged?ringed by silver metal to contain and control the wild energy of chance.
Pink was chosen because it is an optimistic colour, and is soft and intense. When interspersing intensity with the daring nature of the women in mind when creating this fragrance, Helleu came up with a lightly pearlised pink, highlighted by a delicate fusion of silver and gold.
The inspiration behind the Chance fragrance came from a quote by Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel, she once said "Une chance s'offrait, ja le pris" which means "I was given a chance, and I took it"' From this, the people at chanel realised that chance is always in our lives. We don?t always recognise it?perhaps because we don?t believe in it enough. It drops by, brushes up against us, tempts us, popping up where we least expect it. Anything is possible if we seize chance. But if we don?t, we become one of those who will later say they missed their chance. Chance the fragrance is meant to inspire people to take every opportunity that is given to them.
I hope this has inspired you to try C
hance at your nearest Chanel counter!
