Chance Eau Vive

Chance Eau Vive by Chanel is a feminine-leaning eau de toilette from 2015 in the premium price tier. It opens with grapefruit and blood orange, moves into jasmine and dries down to cedarwood, white musk and iris. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
• Blood Orange Orange with a red-fruit edge. Richer and slightly jammy.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.

Dry-down

• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
• Iris Cool, powdery, slightly carroty and expensive. The luxury note.
