A closer look at Chanel Chance Eau Vive EDT
Chance Eau Vive EDT comes from Chanel. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy.
The style of Chance Eau Vive
The strongest accord is citrus (100%), followed by woody and fresh spicy. You will probably like it if you enjoy citrus and woody smells and notes like jasmine and vetiver. Less obvious notes include citruses and iris. Perfume fans rate it 3.94 out of 5.
Sillage and projection
Projection is medium: people near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Nino Cerruti 1881 spreads further.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche and Chanel Bleu De Chanel last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Chanel Chance lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like vetiver and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
