Chance Eau Fraiche Fragrance Reviews

Its all about citrus. Very nice and fresh every-day-scent for spring and summertime. Great lastingpower on my skin. Sadly I dont like citrus- inspired scents that much..

Mycket citrus i denna doften. Trevlig och fräsch varje-dag-doft för våren och sommaren. Sitter otroligt länge o bra på huden. Tyvärr så gillar inte jag citrus- inspirerade dofter så mycket.

i must start this review off by admitting i have a weird history with many perfumes. i love them, hate them, and then love them again. this one is no exception. i tried a sample of this at a department store and loved it immensely, it was a sweet clean citrus fragrance that was mild and refreshing, worlds different from the other chanel fragrances which in general i am not a fan of. i asked my sweetie for a bottle for valentines day, and thankfully he delivered. when i received it it smelled very different from what i remembered, the night i had first smelled it it smelled similar to versense versace which i ultimately ended up purchasing, but when i smelled the bottle he gave me it smelled like too sweet lemonade mixed with an undersmell of something hard to describe, but animal in nature, in short i didn't like it very much. I completely stopped wearing it for several months, distracted by my purchase of Tresor in Love (amazing!). Tonight i tried it again and love it inexplicably, to me it smells like a delicious concoction of lemon and lime sweetness tamed with the comforting scents of precious woods and dewy greens, accented with a touch of sweet spice. it smells like drinking a refreshing citrus beverage in a garden after a soft rain, with the smells of earth and nature mingling beautifully. In short i love it now. Yay!

Well, olfactory speaking there is something "thin" about "Chance Eau Fraiche" (where "thin" put the opposite of "displacement") and that, (at least in this case), isn't quite a compliment.
It most certainly is "fraiche", one would actually say that it is more "fraiche" than it is "Chance", and that isn't a compliment either.
Still, I like the way it looks.

I wore Chance when it first came out and I loved it. It has since become one of those scents that TONS of women wear. On almost a daily basis, someone will walk past me and I'll get a huge waft of Chance that lingers in my nostrils for a good 30 seconds. That's one of the things I love and hate about Chanel perfumes-- they're VERY strong and they have insane staying power. It's only a problem, because some people douse themselves in 10 spritzes of an already too-strong fragrance.

I love the Eau Fraiche version of Chance, especially the Moisture Mist, because it's a lighter and more subtle version of the original, yet still lasts as long and smells as potent as your average perfume. One spritz of the Eau Fraiche moisture mist is enough to get the lovely floral and citrus notes-- that only yourself and those who are within 1 ft of you will smell!!

I have a love/hate relationship with Chanel. Love, because they are iconic and classic. Love because many of my mother's perfumes are Chanel--Allure is her signature, and I don't think I have smelled anything lovelier on her. Hate because unfortunately, nothing (out of five different perfumes) in their line worked for me.

...Until this one. Chance eau Fraîche is wonderful on me. I've tried it twice now and it has skyrocketed into my favorites list. It's an almost masculine composition on me, but very clean, and indeed fresh.

The lemon, cedar, and pepper open it with a bang. Spicy but not sharp, and certainly a departure from their others I've tried, which were far too heavy for me. After the initial burst, the perfume calms down into what I can only call green. The woods and light flowers blend into something that reminds me of a lake where I like to go walking when the flowers are just starting to bloom.

It's a light, refreshing perfume and on me it lasted all day. I kept expecting it to start smelling off on me but it never did, and after a second test it's tops on my want list.

A unique scent. Its definitely citrusy but quite grassy too. I also feel that it smells sharp and clean. Its not at all sweet. Absolutely loved it when I first got it but now it seems like something is missing in this scent.

first let's get this straight: i am NOT a chanel girl.
too french, too bougie, too presumptuous, toooo "womanly".
i cringe at the uber chic and sophisticated put together flawless image this brand connotes because, i am the opposite, dark, jazzy, carefree and natural.
amazingly, chance eau fraiche is all that i am and more.
smooth cedar, and a tart lip smacking citrus over a dewy lush green bouquet.
i am soooo excited to have this, thanks to another fantastic swap with my goddess on fragrantica, candymarie!

I used to be a light blue type of girl, but eau fraiche has so much more attitude and freshness. Honestly its my pick me up weapon and it cheers me up too when i have the blues. This one is recommended alors allez y et essayez le sans tarder!!! ;)

I sampled this perfume recently at Macy's, or should I say the 30 some year old perfume lady at Macy's ATTACKED me with a spritzed card yelling that this perfume was "for our generation". o_O

Needless to say, Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche is a nice, pretty perfume that has good staying power. I like the beautiful mix of fruits and florals without it going into the sickly sweet area. I'd like to own this perfume, but it's a bit too expensive for my budget.

This is very nice!! Very fresh and elegant, i like it!! For every age this is beautiful, one of my favorites for a sophisticated day time date or event, along with Miss Boucheron!! Can't go wrong with it!! perfect for all year round, but if you live in a colder place then it will not be so likeable!!
I really like sharp fresh smells, citrusy and floral, if youre really into that, i recommend smelling Pure White Linen, Pure White Linen Brezze and the Escales Collection from Dior!

Superbly intoxicating - as expected, from the house of Chanel.

A quick whiff from the bottle sends out fresh, fruity and mildly spicy notes that tingle the senses.

Warm and cool all at once, a beautiful combination of citrus, floral and woods.

A long lasting, vibrant, almost playful fragrance that's perfect for any occasion.

Fresh and sharp. Opens with lots of citrus!Through the citrus you can notice some floral notes which are balanced perfectly together with the woody notes.The fragrance gives you energy.It's cool and original. Great for everyday use. It lasts for over 5 hours. Sophisticated and stylish, thanks Chanel!

this is such a intersting sexy zesty smell . it has depth & spiciness which is fab mix as some fresh perfumes dont have depth and end up smelling like cleaning products. it is also sparkling and fizzy!! boyfriend thinks its sexy-always a plus!! i love the original chance which is more autumnal this is def for the longer light warm evenings and ocean breezes . ( thou i have to say i quite like wearing summer smells in winter as they lift my spirits and keep me looking forward to spring/summertime )

Just an update , comparing this to Dior cherie l'eau, I have to say Chanel eau fraiche has way more personality and character! DCL to me is very bland and simple. I really didn't like it all too much! CEF is very interesting and smells much more sophisticated compared to D and G light blue. I find it too sharp!

That anyone can criticize this perfume just a bit, is incomprehensible to me! Chance Eau Fraiche is the only perfume I can say I really just love. It makes me feel classic, elegant, clean and incredibly special. This is an example of a strong, fresh, citrus scent - but still it's not "dangerous" to use at all, and you take no chance with this, because it is so classic that you can't go wrong with it.

All women of all ages can pull this of! Believe me, you will get so many compliments - and as a bonus, it just last all day long.

I know a girl who wears it and smells like fly killer spray on her (I am really sorry but its the truth). Its smells ok sometimes but other times I get this weird smell.

Today whent to the shop with another friend who wants to buy it sometime cos she loves it and told me to spray it on me to see what I thought, I didn't have the heart to tell her that for me smells like fly killer, and to my surprise smelled like that at first, to high, citrusy and tangy to start with but then it quietes down to a very fresh lively floral, then the musk comes in and makes it even sweeter which makes a very good dry down. And I really liked it!

Edit to say that the longevity was amazing on me, lasted for about 8 hours!

Sweet citrusy optimistic opening of Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche makes it an instant love, it has a type of sparkling feel in it without being sparkling. I owned this perfume for about two years from now, and it was the type of go-to perfume when I newly purchased it and it is one of the perfumes that opens up the door to the wonderful perfume world for me.

After the sparkling citrusy sweet opening, there’s this really Coco Mademoiselle type of sweet, a bit chypre fruity sweet smell. It is not too synthetic-plastic-fruity-floral, nor too much aquatic that makes it cheap and typical sports perfume, it’s not too sickly sweet either. Somehow I can’t describe what Chance Eau Fraiche smells like, but I know what it’s not. It makes me think of cucumber(for the green, fresh, lively feel) and then refreshing desert(for the gradually sweetening yet not cloying quality). There is something grand, sweet, vanilla yet higher than vanilla in the base, but covered up by swirls of quasi-Coco Mademoiselle type of patchouli and the fruity sporty feel.
Can’t believe I used to think Chance Eau Fraiche should be the best perfume ever made, how naïve I was. However, I can see why it can instantly win a lot of girls’ hearts. Eau Fraiche is not the typical sophisticated Chanel, and I find Coco Mademoiselle and the Chance line are rather generic in comparison with the other Chanel perfumes, yet they are arguably the most popular among any newbies who’s getting into the perfume world because they are so likable and also have relatively speaking high quality of ingredients.

Unfortunatelly the dry down of Eau Fraiche is not that fresh on me, it’s quite creamy and sweet, but not the type of monotone-y vanilla scent I like, it’s more a mixed floral gourmand sweetness which also appears in Choprad Happy Spirit (which I gradually got sick of due to the dry down).

Might be a lovely elegant second or third perfume for a girl, but…gradually the magic of Chance Eau Fraiche disappears when more perfumes being discovered by the girl.
Still, worth trying and Chance Eau Fraiche might the stapler in your wardrobe for one year or two.

I tried this and really loved this it in the beginning, it smelled pretty, soft, fresh and clean, but then after a while it turned and started to remind me of men's cologne..so I don't really like it...too bad, because the opening was nice

I must tell this is the only scent I like from chanel. Is fresh, cheerful, young and the most I like is that makes me feel clean.
It does not smell like lemonade or 7up, like my boyfriend says about all chanel "eau fraiche" scents.
I highly recommend this one for a spring/summer time.

I'm sorry, but this one seems to be the Chanel for people who are afraid of proper Chanel. In other words, the price you pay in this case buys you the brand's name printed nicely on the bottle, and very little else. What's inside you could definitely have for less money: Harshly and botheringly fresh scent that has almost nothing to do with the rest of the house's production. What's more, its wearers often love it so much they seem to bath in it. Good for flaunting in ladies' locker room after your aerobics class, if you're thus inclined.

Sophisticated, fresh and a little bit 'manly' i.m.o. Not (!) in a bad way, but it has that slightly unisex feel to it. This makes it unique compared to all those sweet and 'sexy' scents out there (which can be very nice on certain woman, but not for me..) An interesting and 'multidimentional' scent as well.
Chance eau fraiche is my favorite on summer days, great to wear to work. The best fresh scent i found so far!
If you're looking for an everyday scent that lasts and you will not get bored of... try it sometime!

Chance Eau Fraiche is a wonderful fresh fruity-green fragrance. Makes for a good masculine and is very refreshing and pleasant. I don't really get florals, but I do get a big lactonic peachy note in the top. Really juicy. Other than that, there isn't an ounce of femininity to this in my opinion. Very good sillage and longevity.

Check it out!

Astonishing wake for a fraiche fume. I followed a woman in the shopping centre today and asked her what she was wearing. I was amazed when she said "Chance, the green one." Did not seem that "fraiche" and I didn't expect it to have remarkable sillage either. Subtle classy smell, and yet the stuff rolled off her in clouds.. What you want really. I take it back, I may have found a Chanel I like after all.. I will test again.. I didn't like the top notes before, something green but oily I thought :/

I love this perfume, it´s my favorite of the 3 Chanel Chance, It´s super fresh, femenine and it has the perfect balance of sweetness, I really love it, I prefer the fresh, not too sweet and fruity perfumes, and I realized that I like the chypre ones, I used to think I only liked the fruity-floral scents. In conclusion, I´m in love with Chance Eau Fraiche! 10/10

This is indeed a very fresh, airy perfume, it's my sister's favourite fragrance (in fact it is the only fragrance she will wear). It is very green and clean, the hyacinth and musk are the most dominant notes to me, with a hint of vetiver humming below the surface. I would have called this a Floral Green rather than a Floral Chypre. This is very nice for spring or summer.

Chance Eau Fraiche is a lovely perfume. Light, fresh, classy and elegant, it's not dissimilar to the original Chance but is just a lighter, fresher version.

To me Chance Eau Fraiche doesn't smell at all masculine or heavy, unlike some of the other reviewers' comments about it. I think because of its freshness, with a little woodiness, it isn't overly girly but neither is it manly - maybe it could be classed as an asexual perfume!! Either way, it's a lovely scent and one that I always have a few spritzes of whenever I'm passing through a department store fragrance section. I always find it quite energizing and it makes me feel very sophisticated. Even the colour of the perfume is really nice, and the bottle is simple but stylish. Oh, and the longevity of the perfume is great - it lasts forever on my skin.

In my opinion, all three Chance perfumes are the best in the Chanel range of perfumes and I really like all three of them.

I really need to get my own bottle of Chance Eau Fraiche a.s.a.p!!!

Fresh, breezy, bright, clean, crisp, energizing, sparkling, vibrant, uplifting, elegant, sophisticated “Fresh Water” fragrance!
It starts out with a refreshing combination of citrus and cedar that smells a little bit masculine upon first application which slightly comes off as a men’s aftershave. But this soon wears off as the fragrance develops into a soft feminine floral. The drydown is a nice blend of musk, woods, vetiver and patchouli. I was rather pleased that the patchouli wasn’t strong to the point of a headache. As this is the effect patchouli normally gives.
The sillage is great without being too strong or overpowering. The longevity is also fantastic for an EDT! I can still smell this on my skin hours later.
It still has that ‘mature’ quality that all Chanel fragrances have.
This is so well balanced, complex and very wearable.
The perfect fragrance for that hot summer’s day!
This one will definitely get you compliments!
And comes in a sleek classy bottle!

My signature scent at the moment! I feel it is a perfume version of me! =D

Chance Eau Fraiche is a fresh woody impression dressed up in the feminine sentiment of flowers and the elegance of Chanel. It contains a moderate amount of sophistication.

The initial impression was very "Chanel". 5-10 minutes later, it was turning into a fresh floral scent. This middle note is what I think the most beautiful and sophisticated part of this fragrance. Then gradually and smoothly, it glides into a woody smell with a little complexity. The fragrance stayed intense for a long time.

The original Chance smells quite similar, but it's the unique kick of Eau Fraiche that really connected with me. Eau Tendre is a little sweeter and more different from the other two, and I can see more women liking the Eau Tendre.

I'm sure I will be liking it for quite a long time. I hope Chanel keeps making Chance Eau Fraiche for as long as I am in love with it.

This is a gorgeously fresh summer/spring scent that's lively and uplifting. On application, I'm welcomed with warm, moderately soft woody lemon with a sprinkle of bright pepper to add a little more dimension.

I'm loving the wood in this fragrance as it adds some ground to something that could be quite flighty and sharp. Patchouli gives a soft earthiness without being obvious to the nose, and amber a lasting radiance.

ilikethequiet's review below is pretty accurate to what I encounter all the way through too. A complex and well blended scent that evokes a feeling of clean, simple refreshment.

Chance Eau Fraiche certainly lives up to it's name: The opening is bright and clean, very fresh indeed, but the wood notes are present from the start. To my nose, those notes round out and warm the citrus opening beautifully.

The jasmine is so pretty in the middle notes; the florals remind me of spring flowers and green grass. It's very clean and refreshing.

The dry down is elegant, a shade of powder softening the earthy, woody notes in the base. Chance Eau Fraiche is a beautiful perfume for spring and for daytime. A light spritz low on the stomach will last all day without overpowering the senses- perfect for office wear.

I think I still prefer the original Chance to this version, but nevertheless, both perfumes are wonderful.

I wish I got my ass out there to buy a full size. Had a sample that I loved to death and almost never used just because I were too afraid to end it. Haha. This is so fresh and sexy with the perky citrus opening that later turns into something greener and deeper. Sexy yet work appropriate! Can I say that I love it once more? I guess. Yeah, I love it.

Got a free sample from Macys. I like the fresh opening...its like a burst of skittles and I normally don't like lemon scents. It smells expensive...lol.Someone made a reference to lemon cheesecake and thats exactly what the dry down smells like on me. But in a weird way I like it. I don't know if I want to invest in a big bottle just yet. We'll see....
****WAIT...Its changing...even better I think I smell...sexy? Very different...it does very well with my chemistry.(slight hint of Irish Spring soap) Still can't decide if I want to invest.

Tried a sample of this I got when buying a Chanel nail polish (black pearl: gorgeous!) and had to wash it off. Too soapy, fruity and aggressive on me! I could see that it is nice and fresh on others, just didn't agree with my chemistry.

Could Chance Fresh version rival the original?

We are not used to like alternative versions, because they allways fail in bringing something new, but the opposite happens with Chance Eau Fraiche.

Chance Eau Fraiche never fails to make me feel fresh, feminine and beautiful, it manages to perfectly combine clean and sophisticated. The scent lasts very well!

I was impressed by this teen-girl version, because Chanel always makes scents that I think are a bit mature (and I love them), but it is time to smell something more fresh ,so this fragrance fulfill my expectations.

I want this perfume SO bad but it's quite expensive and I'm kinda on a perfume shop-stop right now.
It's a pretty classic chanel bottle, always in style. And the fragrance is so fresh and young just love it! Can't wait to get my hands on it until then I'll just have to go try testers in store.

Beautiful, fresh, clean citus. One for hot days and warm nights. For linens and flowing dresses.
I think this one is great for all ages.
Who would not enjoy a little whaft of this one passing by in the isle on a sweaty plane on its way to the Caribbean!
A really great take on the original, which is not for hot days at all.
I guess it all comes down to timing!

I really did not enjoy this perfume and like the regular Chance better. The Eau Fraiche opens with a burst of citrus, which I am not a fan of to begin with. About 20 minutes later, I get a smell that basically seems like a light men's cologne with a touch of vanilla. The drydown is ok, but very unoriginal. It smells like vanilla and sandalwood on me. I don't smell any of the notes mentioned in the base above and can't see how this could be called a chypre in any way. The citrus overpowers the whole creation.

As soon as I smelt this I immediately thought of Estee Lauder - Pleasures Delight.

A quick trip to my room and a comparison spritz , ..and yep, the Chanel is fresher smelling, but the diff is very minimal b/n the scents of these two.

The Chanel does have an edge, lasts longer, and has my preference, but if price is a factor and you live in a moderate climate, get the Pleasures Delight instead. If you live in area's of extreme heat tho, that little bit of freshness is going to matter, so opt for the Chanel.

This is all citrus and musk on me at the onset - both slightly sweet and refreshing at the same time. The citrus fades from the top, but the freshness is retained by what I am guessing is the Water Hyacinth. I can detect a watery, fresh, almost 'honeydew melon' scent in the heart of this anyway. It seems (to me) it is this note that seperates it from Pleasures Delight.

I am wondering now tho if the Eau Fraiche is a lighter fresher version of Chance, just how similar to Pleasures Delight is Chance then? Maybe someone with both (or all 3) can enlighten me/us here????

Oh, and yes, I agree with Valentino, a guy could do this scent and get away with it very nicely :-) And yes, the freshness just lasts and lasts with this one.


UPDATE - 20 hours in and I can still smell this. The sillage is so,so, ..but my goodness the lasting power of this is amazing! Soft scents usually go on me in a few hours, this sticks like glue. I noticed another reviewer getting 24 hours out of it, ... but two that only got a few hours, so make your own mind up there.

I like the smell, but I am quite disappointed with the bottle, I put mine in my purse (because it doesn't last very long, I have to spray again mid-day). Couples days later, I found the silver chrome on the bottle is peeling and it looks so cheap. I though Chanel should have a better quality on the bottle besides the round shape looks cheap too.

Inspired by all the talk about 'gender bending' of scent on Fragrantica, I decided to road test this as a masculine. I put on a good dose (kindly supplied by my mother who loves the stuff) and went out for the evening with my friends(dinner/movies).

My verdict is; best 'Sport' frag for a man by miles! I compared this to Allure Homme Sport, Gucci by GpH Sport, Dior Homme Sport and Lacoste Essential Sport. The green note in Chance Eau Fraiche is fresher and more uplifting, although Gucci by GpH Sport runs it close. The big difference here is that the same green note lasts all the way through without tarnishing. It also has a nice natural quality to it which I didn't get from some of the men's frags.

Some very beautiful young ladies turned around in the queue at the movies to check me out. Alas, I couldn't ask them if it was because I smelled great or because I was wearing the same cologne as them. Anyway, as someone who used to wear vintage Habit Rouge, this felt like a safe choice for a guy.

Chanel, how about a 'Chance Homme' or Chance Homme Sport if you must, with a touch more vetiver in the base. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!

Hmm..

I BET my mother would love it, it's so 'her'. Meanwhile I love love love original Chance [heart]

I've almost finished my first bottle of this and am going to be replacing it soon. i really love it, find it easy to wear even in hotter weather when i have trouble wearing perfumes. this bottle has gone like an express train. i find it doesn't really go with the advert, which tends to make me think it's for a plastic teenage doll. but it is young and fresh, with a slightly masculine edge to it. my BF doesn't agree, he thinks it's "chanel unworthy" but he's a bit of a classic snob. i like to keep my tastes up to date as well as enjoying classics. this one packs more of a punch than Eau Verte, which i also like. when i first smelled it at the perfume store i said to the assistant "this has got balls!!" of all the perfumes i've worn recently this gets the most compliments. for me it smells of the garden on a spring morning, fresh, green and sparkling. i might even treat myself to the body cream as well!!

Like I think many have said this smells like summer! I got a little tester of it and the first time I tried it I was a bit 'Meh.' (indifferent that is, lol!) Since I had the tester I thought I might as well use it and it really grew on me! Now, it's not 'WOW!' but it is very pleasant. When I wear it I imagine a sunny summer day with a light breeze, hanging out with friends in the garden/back yard drinking lemonade. Actually, this perfume smells like a sweet, cool summer drink! Yum!

I have read that -surprisingly- men seem to like this one on their females... On one hand I am not surprised, because lots of men like crisp clean scents on women, and this discription suits chanel au fraiche very well. Bút... on the other hand, to me it smells like a perfume a guy could wear (because of this piercing citrus and some woodiness)! So I guess guys like their girlfriends smelling like theirselves... something like that. It is sparkly and girly though, but has something 'mens colognish' in it too.

I think this is a fragrance for those who want to smell clean and fresh and who don´t like "loud" fragrances. When the citrus has calmed down it becomes very discreet, almost like a bodylotion. I think it is nice, but not nice enough to buy it.

It took a minute for the alcohol smell to dissipate but I suppose that's to be expected with an eau de fraiche.
When I first put it on I get the citrus and cedar, it's mouthwatering. Then the floral starts to emerge w a bit of a powdery scent. In its finality, it's floral w a unique woodsy/green note. Odd thing is it almost seems...flat and one dimensional. Even so, I probably still would have gone for it if it hadn't faded in less than an hour and a half.
eta:
It doesn't give me the impression of being a "younger" scent as others have stated. I think it's more sophisticated than that and imo it's a perfect summer scent for work.

Chance Eau Fraiche is everything that I wanted the original Chance to be. Eau Fraiche has plenty of character and it's contradictions actually compliment eachother rather than confuse. There is a sparkling, juicy freshness that is complimented by a dry, spicy warmth. There is an all-natural tart sweetness to Eau Fraiche that, when combined with the fresh green note of cedar, creates such an uplifting and happy fragrance. This is so well balanced, complex and very wearable...and, dare I say, chipper?

this is my love at first sniff. On my skin it started with a burst of green freshness; not utterly green like No.19, i definitely can smell the lemon and cedar. I get the cedar mostly and this frag stays mossy-woody on my skin for hours until the drydown which actually i find quite similar to the original Chance. It smells sparkling green & sweet at the same time (not candy sweet). I didn't get the floral notes at all . This frag also have that kind of classic hair cream smell that gives it a slightly masculine touch imo. I love this frag so much & it has become a staple in my wardrobe now. A wonderful modern chypre!

Sillage is good and longevity is superb.
On the skin 24 hr +/-
i love to spray perfumes behind my ears cos it'll stay longer when my hair touches them. This frag lingers on my hair like almost 2 days even after washing it with shampoo, amazing!

Clean, fresh, everything its supposed to be. Everything but unique - which is fine as well. I just think there are a lot of other citrusy lemon based frags on the market as well and theres nothing *must have* about this particular scent.
Having said that its nice for everyday perfume, office or casual wear, and sometimes you just want something "comfortable, wearable" you know?

I like Eau Fraiche, but I'm not sure if I like it enough to purchase a big bottle. I may use what I have left and save my spring Chanel purchase for Eau Tendre - which is absolutely beautiful.

Simple, clean, refreshing flanker that does not seem as cloying as the original Chance. Perfect for the office. Chance Eau Fraiche isn't the most unique or interesting fragrance, but there are times where one requires something "inoffensive" and this is a classy one to fit that bill.

I came to this one first because I love chanel's scents (my to say so signature is coco mademoiselle) and second because a friend of mine always told me she gets compliments from men all time when she's wearing this one...

I love that top note which smells strangely like something from childhood, like balloons or so (is this the cedar?!) and lemon adds a fresh sparkle. But I never realise it as lemon, somehow it's really abstract while being natural and that makes it very beautiful. In me it evokes the picture of a sunny ultra blue sky with some white clouds and balloons with little postcards on a cord are flying away into it.

For me it's no way masculine! It's super feminine because it has a subtle, funny sweetness and after the top note the flowers are evolving. The base note is very light but stays quite long for such a fresh scent, it melts into your skin. still it has a rest of the flowers but also a woody softness.

A sparkling, classy, sophisticated, stylish (list goes on), airy and fresh scent. I am so glad Chanel created this Eau Fraiche version after the original Chance, which I find a little strong and a bit too similar to Coco Mademoiselle. My 100ml bottle is almost used up and am planning to get another bottle. I feel incomplete without spraying it before I leave for work.

I am pretty amazed by the jolly, youthful crispiness of this scent - I expected something quite "mature" and "stylish" (in a bit restricted way),maybe even a bit stagnant somehow, but this is full of movement and optimism. It IS stylish and elegant as well, but somehow in a girly, smiley and free way. I think this would suit to girls of any age (as long as they feel like girls and not like important ladies)! :-D.
I really enjoy the first moments after application of this fragrance - I seem to smell grapefruit among the citruses (wonderful!) and I love the very gentle, clean, slightly sweetish and woody development. It doesn't change much, true, it just slightly cristallizes. :-) This fragrance indeed is cute and elegant at the same time. Beatiful!

Eau Fraiche is a really apt name for this lovely fragrance! It couldn't be fresher or lovelier. I think that in this perfume, "fresh" has been done in a very sophisticated way, so that it isn't too obvious or disturbing like in L'eau D'Issey, for example. In addition, the citrusy notes are not "headache" notes like they tend to be in so many other citrus fragrances. I first smelled this on a 30-year-old woman and asked her what perfume she was wearing because she smelled so very, very good.

I love the concept of chance. It is young, vibrant, sparkling. I bought this to celebrate my 20th birthday last year. I love it; it is very fresh but not in a flowery way.

It is a woody smell I find, and I love that, but I prefer the way it smells in the bottle to how it smells on me... On my skin, it changes within moments, the elements that I like morphing into something I don't like. I wish it smelled good on me.

Also, the dry down is disappointing, I don't know if it's just on me(skin chemistry I normally don't have problems with, but everyone is different), it might be. I find that it does not transition through various phases like other perfumes. It seems almost... synthetic? It could just be me, but I find that it doesn't develop or change once it's on, and the heat of my skin makes the scent turn right away. I'm used to Dior, (if you wear a lot of CD's creations, you know what I mean when I say that I'm used to scents that transition into something new and wonderful with every passing hour, and so I'm disappointed when Chance just sits there and does nothing. I LOVE love love the smell in the bottle, but on my skin the experience is not much to rave about. I wish it smelled as good on me as it does on my chothes. C'est la vie, ainsi que les parfums. Misère!

WOW... This is a MUST for Summer. I can't believe that I've waited this long to check this one out. It's FRESH!!
The longevity is pretty good and the sillage is a winner. I don't find this masculine at all. But it doesn't strike me as feminine, either. After smelling this and Chance Eau Tendre side-by-side, I seriously think that this one could have been launched for men and still had been a success. But Chanel mainly caters to women - I understand.
Chance Eau Fraiche for me and Chance Eau Tendre for the sweetheart. A perfect Chanel couple.

Chance Eau Fraiche is everything I wanted the original Chance to be. never purchased Chance, as loved the top notes but it always turned sour and very synthetic *blah* on my skin.
I Tested it countless times but a result was always same and very dissapointing. Until I gave Chance eau Fraiche a try..and there it was...that ultimate refreshing, invigorating scent that stays true leaving a very nice clean and kind of expensive-soapy trail.
Iam very picky when choosing the perfect perfume, and eau Fraiche has really amazed me. I have it on my want list, and definitely going to buy it before summer. I concider it as a feel-good fragrance, what I can easily wear at the office, on holidays, beach parties etc. I love it!

Am considering buying it for summer. I hear lots of complaints about Fraiche smellling like a mens' cologne, and yes, the top notes do deliver that tangy freshness in the beginning. But later on the fragrance develops quite exquisitely, living nicely up to its Chanel name. Unlike the new Eau Tendre...

Just got my delivery of Chance Eau Fraiche. Now I didn't smell this fragrance before my purchase so this is my first impression.....quite intriguing actually.

The opening is similar to Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger (for men not Tommy girl). Now that the cedar top notes have calmed done the feminine side has developed thanks to the jasmine.
- Very Dreamy.

I also get a very slight sweetness of fruit or fruit blossom which is very beautiful.

Oh my! This fragrance develops, so divinely. The masculine influence has vanished; the floral tone is so subtle. It has a dewy warmth to its base which retains freshness.

Chance Eau Fraiche is white gold
- for a gentle, loving woman, sophisticated and understated.

I gave the hubs a task for Christmas, he knows I love perfume, so I gave him the names of 2 possible perfumes that I have NOT had, both I had sprayed on at the stores, and this was one that while I liked was still very much on the fence about. Well imagine my surprise when I find Chanel gift wrapping under my tree, and I was in even MORE shock to find that I LOVE IT !!! Since Christmas Eve, the night I received it, not one other perfume has touched my wrist !! I layer with the lotion and there is somethign about this , it is so fresh, so lovely and so seductive at the same time ! I don't know or care about the notes, all I know is that this suits me very very well. I tell you I have never had more compliments on a perfume then I have wearing this one, a few weeks ago, I sprayed this on and then borrowed my mom's jacket for a few hours, a few days ago, SHE got complimented for my perfume that STILL LINGERED on her jacket almost 2 weeks after I sprayed it on. This is lovely, to me it is mature, and I'm not gonna say it's a signature yet, but this and Light Blue by D&G are the current front runners ! SO in love with this fragrance !!!

Very refreshing, cooling and pleasant. A perfect scent for Spring and Summer in my opinion.

Chance eau Fraiche opens with the citrusy sourness of the lemon and the woodsy quality from the cedar, creating a damp yet clean opening. In some ways the scent is slightly masculine, reminiscent of many citrus based male scents.

I was starting to fear that I would dislike this fragrance until it began to merge into the middle notes of soft florals which blended nicely. This floral blend is sweet yet crisp, maintaining that wonderful Summery feeling.

The drydown was good but not great. While I wasn't really impressed with the strange blend of musk, vetiver, patchouli, woods and iris, I was rather pleased that the patchouli wasn't strong and headache-inducing like patchouli usually is for me.

Overall, Chance eau Fraiche is a fantastically unique, bright and sophisticated fragrance. It carries Chanel's great lasting power and doesn't fail in making you feel as if every cent was well spent.

I sprayed this fragrance by "chance" on me at my friends place and we compared it to the first Chance, MUCH BETTER!! It's fresh but not in an overtly sweet way. It differs from my usual summer choices and has become an overnight fragrance on my wishlist!
And it certainly carries on the Chanel tradition of lasting allure!Brilliant.

I just bought it last month for my mama where she lives in a country almost 10 months is summer 30-45C.
It is very fresh floral crisp scent.
Get u felt so cool and fresh when wear in a hot environment. Never boring and annoying or disturbin others.
Starting with citrus and with floral notes.
Base is dominant by iris, vetiver and jasmine. Not so sweet not so powdery.
IMO it is more suitable for such hot weather .
This can be worn by any age anywhere.
Btw it is channel quality, luxurious and elegant.
Projection and lasting is super also.

i so love this one! the dry down is even better! just bought it yesterday after testing it, i've never bought a perfume so speedily after testing it! normally i test a perfume many times before i buy it but this was so delicious and refreshing - i purchased it in 10 mins! so today i'm wearing it, and already getting compliments from colleagues. it's a lot like chance but much fresher, lighter, soothing, perfect for summers.

my favorite perfume! It can't be better. It is fresh and feminin but not too fresh. Even though it may seem to be only for spring and summer I have been using this in winter alot since I am living in Norway, a very cold country and you have no idea how many people have stopped me in street and asked what I have used. But I must admit I am very lucky that this perfume is amazing on my skin since many of my friends tried it and it was not good at them and they started to envy me :). My husband says that this is the best too. He can't stop kissing me when I wear this.

I've been wearing this fragrance for 3 days now, and I still think it's perfect for spring and summer--especially if you've had a long winter and need something to remind you that summer is just around the corner. It's fragrant, sparkly, fresh, clean, somewhat sour (in a good way because of the lemon), but I'm still able to detect the cedar, musk, and wood that keep it grounded and earthy. The smell brightens up my day and allows me to start my morning feeling energized. It dries down to a powdery, yet still clean, almost floral scent....that I think is magnificent. I just love to smell & feel fresh & clean. It's my revver-upper on days that I feel like all I'm doing is dragging my feet.

I'm wearing this fragrance for the second time after buying it yesterday.

It's so fresh and invigorating. The funny thing is that I get the citrus and musk right away. There's just barely a hint of pepper on me...but it's there. It's not sharp like Dior's Escale a Portofino, and is actually a bit sweet. The florals seem to lighten up the lemon and cedar smell--though the cedar isn't very strong--which lingers the entire time), but still maintaining its freshness. After several hours, the smell (on me) wafts away and leaves a soft, somewhat floral-vanilla scent, but you can still smell the citrus in the background. The musk wasn't overly strong. In my opinion, it helped to give it some sex appeal that I have trouble finding in the perfumes that I currently own.

It's a WONDERFUL fragrance that's worth a shot...or two...or three...or seven. *wink* Definitely great for the summer. It's a good pick-me-up scent. it might not be the best out there (I haven't tried all of them so I wouldn't know)....but it's a perfect scent to have for the warmer months.

Now, this is perfume worth it's cost. For spring and summer anyway. It's light, fresh and lasting.

i like this perfume very much and one of the reasons is that i don't find anything in common with Chanel Chance. It is so refreshing, but not too light.

i smelled this before and it was just so fresh and clean. however it is not at all flat or boring; it's very vibrant and refreshing. it kind of reminds me of when i smell a dew covered law on a cold morning--very pretty :)
on me however, it has no lasting power at all!

It's beautiful delicate freshness! Just perfect freshness I would say... Citruses with cedar - oh...such a lovely combination! I have the original Chance and I love it. Now I got this version and I'm closing my eyes when I smell it - nothing compliments more to a fragrance in my opinion.

This is the first fragrance my mother has ever wanted. I've given her hundreds of samples over the years and this one she kept asking for more. It's soft with a classic-young twist. Refreshing and modernly elegant without the possibility of an overpowering statement.

It is so so so fresh, sparkling, vibrant and pulsing, even a bit perky pearfume ! Clean and sophisticated, still not simple cos of citrus on top, very long-lasting and absolutely triggers my positive thinking. I am wearing it in winter as my personal aromatherapy as citrus oils are said to have good effect against depression.

It's practically the same but with citrus in it. I didn't like it to much, the original is better for my taste.

It is a fresh and elegant fragrance. Very long lasting, haven't got sweetness in it. One of my favourite fragrance in summertime.

It smells softer then the original Chance, and may be with just a tiny spray it would smell right - but it`s still too harsh and strong, and may I say - too fresh. Like you inhaled a noseful of expensive laundry soap !
