Chance Eau Splendide
Chanel Chance Eau Splendide Eau de Parfum 100ml is the newest turn the Chance line has taken, and the fruitiest, which makes it the one for people who found the earlier readings too sober.
Olivier Polge composed it in 2025. Raspberry opens it, tart and a little fuzzy, closer to the fruit picked slightly early than to jam, and rose and violet come in with it rather than after it. The rose is clean and bright rather than heavy, and violet gives that unmistakable powdery sweetness, the smell of boiled sweets in a paper bag, which is what makes the opening read young.
Geranium is the whole of the middle and it is a clever choice. It is green, slightly bitter and faintly metallic, with a rosiness of its own, so it keeps the fruit from collapsing into sugar and gives the fragrance an edge in its second hour.
Then it goes quiet and powdery. Iris brings a cool, dry, almost chalky softness, cedarwood a pale dryness underneath, and white musk a clean, laundered finish that holds everything close to the skin. The ending is much more restrained than the beginning, which is a pattern the whole Chance family follows. Six materials in all, so this is a compact composition rather than a sprawling one and there is no third act to wait for. Expect five or six hours from it, moderate projection and a soft close, which at eau de parfum strength means staying power at a sensible volume rather than a scent that fills a room. It is aimed at women, it suits daytime and the spring and early summer particularly well, and it reads as cheerful rather than serious. Against Eau Tendre it is markedly sweeter and rounder.
Chanel is French, and a rare example of a house equally well known for what it puts on the body and what it puts on the skin. Perfume has been part of it since 1921 and the company was constituted in 1924.
