This is very feminine and floral. The fresh scent is perfect for Spring/Summer. It's a pretty scent, but it's nothing special. Maybe it's because I own a lot of floral fragrances, this scent doesn't really stand out from other floral fragrances. It also doesn't last very long on me. After about 4-5 hours, the smell is gone. I guess my body chemistry doesn't really mix well w/ it. The scent got very boring after a while, so I will not purchase it.

I am sorry I bought the original Chance. This one is so much nicer..soft, warm, floral. Not too much of anything. Just soft and feminine. It doesn't knock you over the head with one note like some fragrances do. It's a nice sophisticated blend of a few elements. I spritzed this one on while shopping the Chanel counter for some eyeshadows. As I walked around the mall, I couldn't help but notice how good I smelled so I had to pick up a bottle. This stuff is pricey. And like some others have noted, it has limited endurance. This is one to carry in your purse if you are hoping to smell it for more than an hour or two. Still, a nice fragrance for someone to wear everyday, any time of year. I would even wear this to work (a dental office) which is saying a lot when you sit so close to people. I can't see this one offending anyone. It's subtle.

I'm loving it! The orignial Chance is nice... the Tendre is superb! It is much lighter, less citrisy, with a punch of light floral. The smell lightens but seems to last most of the day. It definitely is on the pricey side, at $90 bucks a pop, but I think I may have found a new fave.

at first i HATE IT,seriously,when its in the bottle,it smells somewhat like what i used to smell when i was little,so musky and manly and i hate it,but then when i sprayed it on my body,smells oh so divine,this is definately a fragrance for women who are sophisticated and independant,its a pretty scent,as for lasting power i think its so-so,i would recomend it to be sprayed on the body and not smelling it from the bottle if youre planning on buying,even my mom(who are always picky with scents)likes it,it sorta smells like Viva la Juicy,i cant say no more,JUST GO AND TRY IT ALREADY!! (:

Gorgeous, sexy, beautiful, feminine fragrance....I love, love, love this stuff. I would have no problem paying $90 for 3.4oz of this stuff, HOWEVER, what ticks me off about this is the awesome scent only lasts a few hours making you reapply it again and again throughout the day hence the reason it got 4 Lippies. I can see myself going through quite a bit of this and for $90 a bottle, it's really disappointing because I just adore it:( ....I can't figure out how people are saying the scent lasts all day....I know a few other people that wear Chanel Chance (the Tendre and the Fraiche) and they too said the scent doesn't last on them and they keep having to reapply during the day.

Chanel please, keep the scent but figure out how to make it linger longer than a few hours!!!! ...and if you can't, drop the price because I'll be going through a lot. If I'm paying almost $100 for this, the scent had BETTER LAST at least half a day.

I've been seeing a new man. He expressed a longing to buy me a gift. I told him "I LOVE perfume, I want you to buy me a fragrance you want me to wear." Chancy, I know, but fragrance is a powerful thing. He spent an hour at Sephora (gag, would have loved a unique, obscure fragrance from H Bendel, et al, but alas). Well, this evening he presented me with my gift and when I saw Chanel's Chance I thought, "Well, for him, I will wear it." But wait- Eau Tendre? Okay- this fragrance is... It's the fragrance of... It's just wonderful. Even sprayed it around my home it's so lovely and unique (for Chanel) and clean and fresh, yet there's a muskiness that will carry it through the winter. Suffice to say, this new man jumped the hoop, landed on both feet and really pleasantly suprised me. Would have never CONSIDERED smelling this, now overjoyed to own it.

I bought this in duty free recently. My BF and I went round the WHOLE airport sniffing everything in sight and he reckoned that this was hands down the best perfume that they had. I was happy to have some guidance because I really struggle with choosing perfume. It's kind of light, fruity, floral, very feminine, goes anywhere, long-lasting. I'd really recommend it. Beautiful packaging too - naturally!

I would have thought this perfume would have 100% in positive reviews, I'm really surprised it doesn't because I LOVE this scent!! It has become my absolute favorite! Fresh and sweet at the same time!!

This perfume makes me feel great and my BF has even complimented me on it! It's a very clean fresh smell and reminds me off cut grass and apples. But there is a warmth there too and doesn't turn sour like some green fragrances do. While this scent is not original, Chanel have exceeded in making it the best of it's genre.

I should begin by confessing that, as a fan of Chanel in general (who doesn't love that instantly recognizable logo that immediately conveys such style?), I've always wanted to wear a Chanel perfume - preferably No. 5 - because it just seems so glamorous.

But alas, for the longest time, I hated every single Chanel fragrance I smelled, even Coco Mademoiselle - found them far too strong and cloying, much to my dismay.

And then one day I opened a magazine insert for Chance Eau Tendre, not even really paying attention as I leaned in for a whiff because I fully expected to draw back with an, "Oouuf!" To my amazement, what I smelled was the most beautiful, light floral that just drew me in; I think I rubbed the scent off of that insert entirely because I sniffed it so much!

I ended up ordering a bottle from sephora, and let me tell you, I've not been disappointed! The fragrance on me is as lovely as it was in the magazine insert (good thing, I suppose); it's the lightest, whispery floral that's perfect for spring and summer (really, any time of year; it's a classic fragrance).

The bottle is, of course, to die for, and I love the fact that the perfume itself is pink. Fragrance whore that I am, I've got a tray full of various perfumes on the counter in my bathroom, but my Chanel bottle sits proudly on the vanity in my bedroom. As other reviewers have noted, there's something about it that just leaves you feeling fabulous....

I LOVE this product. I get compliments on it every time I go somewhere, from the grocery or the park with the kids. I feel very OH LA LA wearing this. A must if you want to feel FABULOUS in your everyday wear or when your going out on the town. A little dab will do, or else it will be TOO strong. LOVE THIS!

Was given a tester of this perfume and instantly fell in love! Wore it everyday until the tester ran out and then bought a full sized bottle. Six months later I still wear this almost everyday and I'm still not bored of it. Every stage of this perfume from the first spritz to the last whisp of scent is lovely and sweet without being sickly. On my skin it lasts all day but I usually apply again if I'm going out in the evening. A beautiful scent for spring and summer days. Similar to Daisy by Marc Jacobs at first but much nicer somehow! Especially after an hour or two when Daisy becomes a strange almost sour scent whereas this stays true to its original smell, only deepening slightly.

This is the fragrance that I've been using ever since it's launch sometime in 2010 or so I can't remember. I'm not experienced in fragrances, but contrary to some reviewers, I find this actually a complex scent, alluring girl-like but with a hint of maturity and optimism. It has inspired spin-offs, and I'm not talking just about cheap stuff on the streets. Recently at Sephora's, I tested Givenchy's Ange Ou Demon Le Secret and was shocked to learn its similarity to Chance eau Tendre. This said, after the dry-down, Givenchy's became this flat horrid orangey after-taste, which is certainly nowhere near the standard of Chanel. Nonetheless, I'm moving onto other scents, but Chance eau Tendre remains a fond favourite, with bitter and sweet memories.

I was just reading another lady who said she has bad luck with Chanel fragrances and I think I'm the same I also find them too overpowering in general but this one has been my worst. When I smelt this in store, i thought wow I love it. I bought it and found it SO overbearing it gave me the most intense headache- that I felt quite sick! I have SO MANY perfumes and nothing like this has ever happened before so i just put it down to me generally maybe feeling unwell, and gave this perfume a few more chances, but same thing- id get an intense headache and feel a little unwell!! I just ended up giving it away. The scent itself is much more longer lasting than the ''fraiche'' version but for whatever reason, i just cannot wear it.

I love this perfume! And the price was quite good to (some €60 I think), I expected it to be much higher (like for Coco Mademoiselle or Chanel N°5). It's a light, wearable, young fragrance! It reminds me of apples. The bottle is very pretty and the pink colour of the substance is great! :)

This fragrance is lovely! It is a sweeter, softer version of Chance, but still maintains all of the chic elegance of a Chanel perfume. This fragrance is perfect for the spring and summer, when on the warmest days one does not want to be wearing a strong perfume. This will still make you feel sophisticated and ladylike without being overwhelming. I am normally not a lover of jasmine, but the jasmine blends beautifully with the grapefruit, hyacinth, musk and amber to create a classy fruity-floral blend. I have tried this against other fragrances mentioned as "smell-alikes" (such as "Daisy") and can say that this fragrance is unique. While it does not last as long as most Chanel fragrances, it does last for several hours. I carry a small atomizer to freshen up from day to evening.

I was not looking for a fragrance and purchased the sheer misting spray on impulse. I thought it smelled so fresh and clean. The packaging is great with an amazing spray. It applies very smooth and makes my skin feel soft. I was excited to have my fiancee smell it. He said it smelled cheap and had a soap smell like something from BBW. :( I still like it but maybe sit on it and think it over before purchasing.
