I am new to perfume and I just bought this on a whim yesterday. Can someone explain the difference between eau tendre, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau fraiche? I see all of these listed on Sephora but there is no description of the differences between them and they are all called Chance. I am confused...

Smells like MJ Daisy. I would buy this one over Daisy since it's longer lasting. But it's pretty expensive. Time to save up!

This is a beautiful perfume with a stand-alone scent. It's a unique, airy and fresh smell, an ideal choice for someone who finds the other Chance scents too mature or bold for their tastes. Though somewhat pricey, this light and powdery perfume is worth every penny, and I highly recommend seeking out this scent!

Of all the Chance flankers, Tendre is the best for me. I love the soft edge to my beloved but sometimes too loud Chance. It has less peppery notes and it's sweeter, that's the difference. It's abit more girly, but it stands out at the same time.

Tendre is my signature and most used scent of the summer. I literally sprayed it on myself everyday, and its the perfume I have received the most compliments on.


People compare this to Daisy, and I can see why. However, I find this one has a more organic feel to it. Tendre is more airy, more light, more elegant and delicate.


Like a lot of other people this one took me by surprise as well. I'm quite pleased with this fragrance, and like it equally as much as I love the original Chance. It's very light and rejuvenating. I like that it's a great "pickle-me-up" sort of scent, I feel that most Chanel fragrances lack that characteristic. I imagine anyone who likes sweet, girly, and fresh scents would adore this one, even though this perfume is not sweet at all. I have a hard time liking "fresh" scents, but I really like how the lemon, iris and musk is used in here.


This one stands out in the Chanel line because there is nothing like it, my only gripe with this is there is a lot of depth to this fragrance but little to no longevity or sillage which is a shame because it doesn't make up for the of the wall price.


Yet, I'm still quite taken with this.

I don't know WHY I haven't reviewed this yet when I've had this for 2 years. Yet it still smells the same as when I first bought it. Let me start off with that I'm very sensitive to smell and I can get really bad head aches from certain perfumes. This has never given me a head ache and it smells so light and fresh and upbeat. I would describe the smell as fruity & floral blended together. It works very well for me as some scents can come off weird on my body. I still have about 1/4 left and I will be buying this again when run out even though it's expensive. I hate the other Chanel perfumes but this one is perfect.

Before I review this, I want to say that if youre thinking of getting this perfume don't just base all of your opinion on the reviews you read on here. Mostly because what it smells like on me could be completely different than what it smells like on you. Everyone's own body chemistry can change the scent a lot so be aware of that. Now my own personal opinion is this is my favorite perfume of all time, I have loved it for years and it's my signature scent. This is what I wear almost every day. Something about it when it hits my skin just makes me smell so youthful and fresh. This perfume is delicious in my opinion. It's not one of those sweet scents like Vera Wang Princess or something but it has a sweet element to it. It's not like a candy sweet, it's more of like a fruity sweet. Some people think it's very floral but to me it falls in between being clean smelling and floral/fruity smelling. It's not overwhelmingly floral, if it were I would never have bought it because I'm not huge on really floral perfumes. I'm very sensitive to perfumes as well. I'm very picky cause some of them can give me headaches. I don't have that problem with this one. Even though I got the eu de toilette, it seems more like an eu de perfume to me. The lasting power is fantastic. It lasts all day and doesn't smell like something totally different after a few hours. It stays quite true to what it smells like when it's first sprayed. I'd say its good for girls who are between the ages of 17-25ish. It's not really young smelling like a Britney Spears perfume but it's not old ladyish like some other perfumes can be. I always get complimented when I wear it. It's Chanel so obviously it's going to be expensive but it lasts me a long time and I don't at all regret spending the money. Overall this is the only perfume I have bothered to repurchase ever and I'm in love with it. I have been for a couple years now and I havent gotten tired of it. I don't know why it isnt more popular than it is. Chanel never disappoints! :)

This perfume doesn't smell anything like Chanel Chance. I expected it to be a lighter, sparkling version of Chance but, as someone else noted, it smells very similar to Marc Jacobs Daisy. I use this as perfume for work because I work with small kids and don't want to choke them with anything strong.

In a word, boring.

It's not unpleasant. Extremely flowery, and the jasmine certainly stands out. But it just disappears, there's no sign of the purported amber/musk base notes. Probably won't buy this again.

This is one of my favorite perfumes for a while. I do not like much other Chanel perfumes but this one is the best. It's light and floral, but not too strong. The only thing, it's very expensive in many countries. It's best to purchase it online or in US.

Smells like Marc Jacobs Daisy to me, but with more lasting power. Doesn't smell like a Chanel scent at all, but I see what they are doing, appealing to GenY. That is fine; things evolve. Comforting clean fresh feminine smell, not super distinctive but still very nice. Freshness comes from the lack of patchouli, thank god for that. Wish it were cheaper though.

I love this perfume, i love that its young and fresh. Chanel tends to smell heavier for a more mature audience. If you love the signature chanel smell then this probably isnt then perfume for you. What I love about this perfume in that it suits my personality and has then longitivity of other chanel perfumes.

I got this perfume a short while ago. It is so fresh, sweet and feminine. It smells clean, but not like laundry. It is so Chanel, but much lighter. It fits the brand very well. This fragrance smells comforting but elegant and classic. I feel like this is something that I would wear even when I am 30. I can definitely smell the melon and grapefruit in this one, it is a wonderful fruity-floral. I reccomend this to everyone! I love it!

I'm onto bottle #3 of this fragrance. I absolutely adore it.
Light, fresh, feminine and also sweet - but not sickly.
It's my every day fragrance. Lasts all day. Not overpowering and people recognise it as "my" smell. Always get compliments about it.
I'm a smoker so anything that lasts all day and isn't hidden by the smell of my dreaded ciggies is a winner for me.
It's a sweet fragrance that has class.

A welcome departure from the other fragrances in the Chanel lineup. Although I own No.5, Allure, and (original) Chance - they remain untouched on my vanity. Always too heavy and masculine when reacted with my chemistry. The only consolation was that these bottles looked so pretty in my boudoir.

I was skeptical that this version of Chance would work on me. But loving all things Chanel, I had to give it a try. Reading through the reviews, I became more hopeful as many of you had expressed the same sentiment: none of the other Chanel fragrances worked except this one! Alas, when I arrived at ULTA, they had testers for all the other Chanel fragrances but this one. It took me some time to decide if I should purchase without even trying it first. Of course, there was only one box left of the Chance Eau Tendre. Of course! Guess it must smell delicious if they were down to their last bottle!!! And what did I do? I took a chance (pun intended!)

Chance Eau Tendre is delightfully subtly. I was pleasantly surprised at how different it was from the original Chance and its second-generation sister - Eau Fraiche, which both smelled like different versions of each other. I have always loved fruity-floral scents. However, as I have gotten older, I wanted something a bit more sophisticated but still have that carefree charm. So sweet and soft, young at heart, an understated confidence and assertiveness that always remains feminine. My signature scent!

P.S. This reminds me of Lancome's Miracle So Magic! Which at one point in time, was my HG! Then it became discontinued, leaving me with no signature scent. It reminds me of the way it made me feel. So beautiful and gorgeous! I have been on the hunt for something as feminine, fun, sweet, yet modern and sophisticated as that fragrance made me feel. And this is it! It's a delightful reincarnation that I can wear every day, and just makes me smile whenever I reach for it. Thanks House of Chanel, you make a girl feel so lovely like only you can do! XoX

I am IN LOVE with this fragrance. I'm obsessed with perfumes and usually cannot decide between 5 or 6 to wear but this one hands down wins everytime. Light, feminine and classy. I love the scent, I always feel so pretty and great after spritzing it on. I always get tons of compliments too. It's very feminiine and not over powering or musky at all. This is one of my favorite perfumes. I usually wear Flowerbomb but wanted a lighter smell for the summer. I normally don't like Chanel perfumes because they're very heavy but this one is light and perfect.

Lovely and very pleasant scent. Its fresh, floral and also has fruity notes to it in my opinion. the dry down has a very soft musk to it, which is really nice. Very girly, feminine and sophisticated. the bottle is kinda boring to me though. they couldve been more creative.
