Chanel Chance Eau Tendre

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple.

It opens on quince and grapefruit, moves through hyacinth and jasmine, and settles on musk, iris and virginia cedar.

• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange
• jasmine: a rich white flower, heady and full. Up close it turns slightly animal, which some people love and others find too much

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
