Chanel Chance Eau Vive And The Chance Collection

So Chanel Chance Eau Vive came out on Friday 12th June and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle.

I bought it from Boots for £79.00 for the 100ml bottle.

Chance Eau Vive is actually a lovely scent. I don't like it as much as the original Chance or Chance Eau Fraiche, but it is still really nice.

It is quite citrusy to begin with, but the jasmine quickly kicks in and takes the fragrance in another direction. As the fragrance settles it has a gentle, woody scent, but it is still dominated by the citrus and jasmine.

I have all of the different Chance fragrances. The first one I bought was Chance Eau Tendre (pink, but looks a bit yellow in the photo below - still smells the same), which I liked the best at the time. I got the 100ml bottle, but I went off it a bit. I still like Chance Eau Tendre, but it is quite a generic fragrance. It is fruity and it reminds me of Marc Jacobs Daisy.
When the limited edition 150ml Chance bottles came out I bought Chance eau de toilette and also the Chance Eau Fraiche eau de toilette in 150ml bottles. At first the original was my favourite and then Chance Eau Fraiche became my favourite, but they are both amazing.

Chance Eau Vive is the only one that hasn't been my favourite yet and I can't honestly see it overtaking Chance and Chance Eau Fraiche, but I think it is probably my third favourite in the range before Chance Eau Tendre.

I love the Chance range. I can't see any more fragrances being added to the line in the near future, but I like that they take time over their fragrance compositions instead of pushing four bottles per year out like Marc Jacobs are at the minute.

Chanel Chance Eau Vive - Out June 2015

I love Chanel's Chance range; Chance, Chance Eau Fraiche and Chance Eau Tendre.
Chance Eau Tendre was originally my favourite of the three then the original Chance took over as favourite, but Chance Eau Fraiche has been my favourite for a while now.

I have a 100ml bottle of Chance Eau Tendre, but I managed to get the limited edition 150ml bottles of Chance and Chance Eau Fraiche when they came out in 2013. They are all eau de toilettes, but the original Chance is also available as an eau de parfum. I believe the eau de parfum has a silver lid.

This year Chanel will release Chance Eau Vive. I'm excited for its release, but I'm not convinced it's going to be as good as the other Chances! I really hope it is!

The release date is 12th June 2015.

The fragrance notes are grapefruit, red orange, jasmine, vetiver and white musk.

It will be released in 50ml and 100ml bottles. June can't come soon enough! I can't wait to try this out!
