Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Parfum

After an early lunch about a week ago I was out doing some Christmas returns and saw this new juice sitting out on the counter at my local Belks. I had not applied perfume that morning knowing I was headed to the department stores so Tendre eau de Parfum ended up my scent of the afternoon. It was in the mid eighties that afternoon here in Florida so I do not know how this will perform in the colder weather as of yet. Upon first spritz it pleasantly reminded me of something I already had but I could not put my finger on it. I decided not to over analyze and just enjoy this girly baby. I then went about my business. Anyway, I could smell both the robust Grapefruit and sweet tropical smelling Quince right away and then within minutes a jammy Rose was quite pronounced and became the star of this composition. The Jasmine came in after the Citrus abated a little bit adding some creaminess. The Musk is not all that heavy and is most noticeable on the dry down along with the floral notes making this gorgeously smooth. The Sillage was huge at first and then it became moderate. This is not a sillage bomb but that is okay because I could smell myself all afternoon. I had a younger hostess at the restaurant I went to for dinner mention how "pretty" I smelled. My husband joined me and as he hugged me he commented that he loved the way I smelled as well. When I told him it was the newest from Chanel he just smiled and said, "Chanel knows how to do it right!" He knew I was going to get this new fragrance if I had not already. I could smell Chanel Chance Tendre eau de Parfum until I bathed upon coming home from shopping and dinner at around eight. It had lasted about eight hours. This new baby was to be acquired. Tendre eau de Parfum is a beautiful pick me up perfume. As for now my experience says it will be best for milder mornings and warmer days. If you are looking for a new Spring or Summer fragrance look no further. This one is going to shine then for sure. I highly recommend. Just go lightly in hundred degree weather. Oh I figured out it reminds me of Dior's Addict to Life minus the Lily of the Valley which is one of my favorite Summer Rose fragrances but it has become hard to find and quite expensive. I am headed out to pick up my bottle of this new juice, and the big one, today. Another review will follow if I find it suitable for cold weather and also will report how it performs then as we Floridians are in for a cold spell (lows in the 40's) this week. Have a great one my fellow Fragranticans! ADDENDUM: Well in the colder weather Tendre EDP is different. It is kind of hard to explain. I did not get the same vibe. I figured it had to be me because my dry skin does not like cold weather. I applied some unscented goat milk moisturizer and reapplied Tendre EDP. Eureka! That was the answer. The fragrance blossomed again in all its Rosy glory. I really think this is better in mild to warm weather. If you do wear it in colder weather moisturize heavily if you tend to have dry skin. I am going to look on Chanel.com for the body lotion. Still a huge love for me!

Eau Tendre is soft, pink, girly, fresh, clean and cool. The name and colour of the juice fit this scent perfectly. On my skin, this opens up with a bright, juicy grapefruit and the rose quickly follows. I think this is the part that some people below dislike or think smells like "cleaner". For me, it gives more the impression of smelling a dewy flower up close. I even get the greenness of the stem, as well as a metallic note. If I were to paint a picture, I'd say it's like drinking pure grapefruit juice (no sugar) in a metal cup, while sitting next to a vase of freshly-picked, dewy roses. The opening is where this scent really projects, and gives the impression of a classy, elegant "Chanel girl". As you wear this over the next few hours, that projection dies off and this becomes a skin scent with a sheer aura and a personal bubble. At the same time, the notes themselves transition into something softer. Gone is the grapefruit, the green rose, the metallic edge. The drydown shifts into a clean, cold shampoo-like freshness which also has a soft silkiness to it. I used to have a rose silk finishing powder for my face, and this gives me that same vibe - a very finely milled powder that is silky and cold to the touch, with just a hint of pinkness. Like the name, it is such a tender and delicate scent. If you think that bold, challenging "unique" scents are the height of perfumery, then you won't like this. This isn't "niche" (whatever that means anymore) and it's not trying to be. This perfume is a celebration of softness. It's not for the woman who's always the loudest and most outspoken person in the room. It's aimed at women and girls who identify as feminine, gentle, soft and likeable. And as much as those traits are seen negatively in a social media-obsessed society where everyone is fighting to be seen and heard (hence the obsession with "niche", "beast mode" and "man killer" scents)... Chance Eau Tendre reminds us that the soft, gentle one in the group, the one who everyone likes and trusts, who listens rather than speaks, is actually far more powerful than we give them credit for. This is the type of scent that sinks into your personage and becomes part of you. It doesn't smell like perfume, it just smells like a soft, pretty girl. Perfect for a signature, this is the kind of scent that people may never comment on because it doesn't register as perfume, but without a doubt they inhale just a little deeper when you're around because you always smell good. The projection may be soft, but make no mistake, this is an extremely long-lasting perfume. When I wear this, I smell it all day and all night. I also smell it on my clothes the next day. Overall, I really enjoy this scent. It's such a lovely, cooling scent for warmer weather. Definitely full bottle-worthy, as this is the ultimate easy reach that works in the office, on casual days at the shops or the cafe, on a date, just lazing at home... almost any scenario I can think of. This is a love for me 💖🍋🌹✨️

I’ve had this since it came out and I’ve never reviewed it, despite it being one of my favorites. First I’d like to say, ignore the reviews claiming it’s boring, generic, and suited for a teenager. I’m the mother of a teenager and we both enjoy this. Besides, I don’t think putting an age on a perfume makes sense. Seasons? Ok, I get it. Genders? Maybe, because it helps give me a feeling of what notes are going to be prominent, but saying that a perfume is “only” suited for teens or women over 50...blah. I wore Angel and Samsara in my 20’s and I’m still wearing this as I approach 40. I would like to understand what people even mean when they call this generic and boring. If it’s so generic, why does anyone have yet to make an accurate comparison? That being said, I would also ignore the “reminds me of” section. This is a very high quality perfume and it’s not comparable to Daisy. It’s more complex, has better longevity, it’s more balanced, and it just flat-out doesn’t smell anything like it. Generic to me would be the many fruitchoulis, gourmands, white floral vanillas, and perfumes trying to smell like BR540. Just saying. I’m sorry, but I’ve owned Daisy and they’re not similar to my nose. The “reminds me of” section on this site has been so off on a lot of scents lately. Did Covid ruin people’s sense of smell? The votes have been confusing on a lot of perfumes over the past few years, it’s not just this one. Anyway, this is just such an easy reach, it smells zesty and juicy in the summer, and light and airy in the colder weather. The grapefruit in this is quite pronounced and I enjoy that aspect of it. It’s not as citrusy as you’d think, it’s got a fizzy quality that mixes so beautifully with the rose. It’s perfectly balanced imho. It’s very versatile and suitable for ALL ages, and better yet, for all seasons and situations!

see, i say that i don't like florals and then fall for this one. if any company were to convince me it would be Chanel. i admit my curiosity for this one was based on the fact that almost everyone seems to agree that as far as safe fragrances go for this brand this is the youngest, freshest take in comparison to powerhouses like #5 or Coco Noir. additionally, a few reviewers have compared this to Vince Camuto's Fiori that i adore with the kind of senselessness that only nostalgia could explain considering its generally poor performance. theyre similar in the way that cousins are with eau Tendre being the more audacious of the two. it's extremely fresh and present without being too sharp from the quince. and i was surprised to see that rose was a component of this because i've always detested rose in fragrance notes, i don't get the hype or appreciation for roses but in time i hope to understand. this is definitely signature scent worthy and timeless. i'd be unsurprised to smell this in say, an office setting on a working professional. i hope to wear this more in late spring-early summer because in my mind that's when the fragrance will shine. my only hope is that this doesn't sour on my skin like some reviewers have pointed out. considering that "so safe, it's practically boring" was what intrigued me to this fragrance i'd advise against people expecting to be wowed because of the brand name attached to the bottle. to me, this in no way a knock-your-socks-off explosive scent experience but it is an understated and classy fragrance. worth the price point? can't say (esp. considering i was gifted this bottle and it was nowhere near the tippy top of my to-buy list to begin with)

Second best Chanel in my opinion. A glorious fragrance, pure femininity! Unlike other Chanel perfumes, this version of Chance Eau Tendre EDP has a very particular fruit heavily used in the composition and rarely uses in other perfumes or rarely used by other brands. The quince note! I personally adore this fruit and I have specifically bought some fragrances, not just this one, because they have a pronounced quince note. It might not be for everyone, I am aware that’s not the most popular note in perfumes but I love it! In Chance Eau Tendre EDP the quince is mixed with a tart, zesty grapefruit note, some florals and a base of white, clean and fluffy musk. Everything but the quince suggests a very basic, done million times before scent. But quince gives the scent a very different feel, citrusy but sweet, somewhere between the scent of a green apple or a pear, but honeyed, light and more transparent, with more citrusy facets, but without the usual sharpness of a lime or lemon. A unique twist. Quince is the sprinkle of magic dust that’s creating a never smelled before scent...Happy and mood boosting smell, to brighten up the gloomy days. This is an atemporal perfume, light and airy but with some substance, all year round scent, suitable for all ages in my opinion. Might not be my first choice during winter and fall but I worn it several times and it did well even during colder days. It is a very beautiful scent but with a distinctive smell, that might not be the most appealing for some, but I absolutely adore it. Performs on par with other Chanel scents, it’s quite long lasting but more moderate when it comes to sillage.
