Defined by the Maison’s founder Gabrielle Chanel as her soul, chance can be taken audaciously and created courageously. CHANCE is a fragrance for those who, like CHANEL, believe that chance favors those who know how to seize it. It’s a winning olfactory encounter that reflects a dynamic energy driven by audacity, spirit and a natural, revitalizing burst of laughter. 

This enchanting story was captured in 2003 by Jacques Polge, CHANEL In-House Perfumer-Creator from 1978 to 2014, through the CHANCE fragrance. Since then, three versions were revealed in three new colors: dynamic and spirited green CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE; soft and tender pink CHANCE EAU TENDRE; fiery and bold orange CHANCE EAU VIVE.

Today, CHANCE EAU SPLENDIDE adds a new color to the CHANCE palette. Described by CHANEL In-House Perfumer-Creator Olivier Polge as luminous, spontaneous and captivating, its purple color represents magic and lightness tinged with mystery and nobility, while its rebellious energy conceals depth and dazzling power. A marvel of paradoxes, it blends a raspberry accord revealing facets of crisp fruit, rose and violet, with an elegant and magnetic floral heart of rose geranium partly grown in the CHANEL fields in Grasse, while subtly faceted cedar joins white musk notes in an accord that prolongs tenacity and releases vibrant woody notes, accompanied by a sophisticated touch of powdery iris.

Embodying this CHANCE is Angèle. A lucky charm for this new chapter, this 29-year-old Belgian singer-songwriter seized her chance at every step of her career and transformed the challenges she met into glorious artistic achievements. Her track “A Little More” was specially composed for the fragrance’s campaign directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, which captures her venturing into a fairground attraction: the hall of mirrors, where she attempts to seize her chance, in her own unique way, in the kaleidoscope of lights and illusions that represents life.

Well, this is the new CHANCE by CHANEL and it’s truly “Splendide”!
