Pure Eau Fraiche

So, I am down to the last 10 mils or so of my Chance Fraiche. Since it’s a must have staple in my spring and summer fragrance wardrobe (I layer it and wear it on its own), I was getting prepared to shell out $150ish for a new bottle. For laffs I googled dupes and this came up. Twenty bucks on Amazon, so I figured I’d give it a shot, honestly expecting nothing but the sad truth that I would have to cough up for the OG. I took it out for its maiden voyage today, layering her with Tocca Stella to add a bit more zest to the orange and damn! Okay, well I guess that $130 can go toward something else! It reads a bit fresher than Chanel, yet a tad sweeter at the same time. I think I prefer it over the OG, but with these cheapies I never know if I like it better or if I’m just so happy about the price I review it generously. On the downside, performance is weak to moderate, but I’ll gladly reapply for this budget conscious beauty. 8/10 recommend

I absolutely love this fragrance. Fresh and green is what instantly comes to my untrained nose. I'm going to buy a third back-up bottle for the fear that it will be discontinued. I suspect it doesn't last long, but I stick it in my purse to reapply. I feel it is a safe blind buy.

This was a random buy at TJ Maxx and I love it. I love citrusy woody scents and this is pretty much about perfect. It doesn’t last super super long but lasts long enough I think. Supposedly a dupe for Chanel so if you love that, you’ll love this and it costs way less!

As much as I love the original Chanel Fraîche EDT, I actually prefer this one. It’s softer, with a gentle sweetness that makes it feel more balanced. It doesn’t have that sharp citron edge like the EDP, and it’s not overly woody either. This is a forever favorite.

First impressions: Blind-bought this fragrance today and it was not what I expected. I expected it to be fresh and citrus-y with some fruity sweetness (maybe apple) and feminine. Instead, it's straight up citrus and woods with some fresh amber-y musk. I wasn't impressed at first, when I sprayed it on my clothes, but I liked it a little more on skin. The warmth from the skin brings out the amber but on fabric it's linear. Lastly, it smells very unisex, maybe even a little more masculine leaning but women could get away wearing it. Overall, I am happy with my purchase because I have nothing like it in my collection. The quality is good and smells more expensive than it costs. And I can't wait to test it out in warmer seasons.

I got it from Marshall randomly, but definitely, this is a perfect dupe for Chance Eau Fraiche Chanel. I have both of them, but there’s not a big difference in my opi ion. The only one thing different is lasting three hours. Chanel lasts longer but who can complain with this price? I only paid $17 in Marshall and absolutely satisfying.

Fantastic natural smelling dupe of Chance Eau Fraiche. It's my first time trying this brand, and I'm impressed that they nailed the citrus that I loved so much in the Chanel without making it headache inducing. Definitely as sparkling as the Chanel IMHO. I will be spraying the $#!+ out of this all summer long. No complaints!

Also purchased at Marshall’s, excellent dupe for Chanel Eau Fraíche and I love to layer it with my D&G Light Blue Perfume oil. It’s lovely for the daytime, I wear it to grocery shop or doctors appt.
