Eau Tendre. Discover. For Gabrielle Chanel, true chance is what one creates for oneself: a state of mind, a way of being. Featuring floral-fruity notes, CHANCE EAU TENDRE is an enhanced interpretation of the original radiant fragrance.

So why exactly is this fragrance so famous? Chanel No. 5 was the world's first abstract fragrance, which incorporated more than 80 ingredients in a complex, multi-layered formulation process that uses aldehydes to heighten the scents and give an airy nature to the floral notes.

A dazzling constellation of notes is intensified by jasmine absolute and rose essence. An intoxicatingly soft and enveloping trail unfurls for a radiant and feminine scent.

Immediately illuminated by the tangy whirl of the grapefruit-quince accord, CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Parfum brings a feeling of absolute tenderness. Delicate and profoundly poetic, this new composition evokes a woman whose joy and inner glow gives her instant charm.

The scent is amazing. The only con for me is that it doesnt last long. I tried it just before sleeping and during work for comparison, it only lasted for only about 3 hours. Kind of disappointed for a perfume but the scent is great.

The new Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Parfum has the same fresh fruity-floral opening but this time the longevity of this playful fragrance is beyond impressive. On my skin Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Parfum lasts good 10 hours.

Chanel is well known for its No. 5 perfume and "Chanel Suit". Chanel is credited for revolutionizing haute couture and ready-to-wear by replacing structured, corseted silhouettes with more functional garments that women still found flattering.

Coco Chanel was a fashion designer known for such now-classic innovations as the woman's suit, the quilted purse, costume jewelry, and the “little black dress.” She also introduced the phenomenally successful perfume Chanel No. 5.

Chanel N°5 Parfum It wouldn't be right to dive into a list of the best-selling Chanel perfumes without paying homage to the one that started it all, Chanel No. 5 Parfum.

But if you want something more fruity and summery, you can opt for Chance Eau Fraîche, which features a mix of citrus notes that smell very fresh. Or if you want a blended, light scent, the best Chanel perfume we tested was Coco Mademoiselle, a very clean, simple fragrance.

Eau de Parfum (EDP) is the strongest type of perfume we sell. Eau de Parfum contains between 10-20% of perfume oil, and is a popular choice with both perfume brands and customers. Eau de Parfum will generally last around 8 hours. Eau de Toilette (EDT) is next, containing around 5-15% of perfume oil.

You're applying perfume on the wrong places. The best places to apply perfume are on the pulse points of your skin, such as your wrists and neck, as these areas tend to be warmer and will make the smell last longer. Make sure not to rub it in, though, as that will break up the scent and make it evaporate faster.
