Chanel Chance Eau Vive

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on blood orange, grapefruit and citruses, moves through jasmine and white musk, and settles on vetiver, cedar and iris.

• blood orange: orange with a darker, slightly berry-like sourness
• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange

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.
