Chance Eau Tendre

Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2010 in the premium price tier. It opens with grapefruit and quince, moves into jasmine and hyacinth and dries down to white musk, cedarwood and amber. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
• Quince Tart, floral apple-pear. Crisp and slightly perfumey.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Hyacinth Cold, green, watery floral. Smells like early spring.

Dry-down

• White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
