Chance Eau Fraiche Eau de Parfum by Chanel is a fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. Chance Eau Fraiche Eau de Parfum was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Polge. Top notes are Citron and Aldehydes; middle note is Jasmine; base notes are Teak Wood and Amber.

CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE charmed the world with its joyous, lively, and sparkling scent. Now, CHANEL presents a new, dazzling and elegant interpretation of it. A new chance is within reach.

2002: CHANEL unveils CHANCE, a gleeful and optimistic floral fragrance creation. A name redolent of success and achievement. “Chance is a way of being”, said Gabrielle Chanel. It is no coincidence; it must be created, honed, sought out. It is the product of effort and passion. Four interpretations of this now-iconic scent emerged, including CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Toilette, a floral-sparkling fragrance with a modern, sophisticated, and decidedly light trail that features notes of jasmine and zesty citron paired with a teak wood accord. An invigorating composition with charming optimism.

2023: CHANEL reinterprets CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Toilette, creating a version that combines the density of an Eau de Parfum with the brightness of the Eau de Toilette. For this unique composition, CHANEL Perfumer-Creator Olivier Polge amplified the intensity without overpowering its freshness—a challenge he met with great success. CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Parfum has the same spontaneous, lively nature as the Eau de Toilette, but leaves behind a more intense trail. Rather than merely adjust the concentration, the perfumer composed something completely new, a fragrance in its own right. The citron accord has become exhilarating without losing its original juiciness; the jasmine is richer and more intense; and the teak wood accord reveals a more ambery facet, giving it a certain elegance.

OLIVIER POLGE CHANEL IN-HOUSE PERFUMER-CREATOR

What was the creative process behind CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Parfum?
It involved making subtle changes in order to amplify the sensations provided by the Eau de Toilette. The idea was to go to extremes, to push the fresh notes even further, through citrus, and to add density with the base notes, ambery notes, for more vibration. The challenge with this was to increase its intensity, bring out the base notes, and add depth, all while maintaining its fresh quality.

Is this Eau de Parfum a radical departure from the spirit of the Eau de Toilette?
They have the same fresh, colorful scent profile, with jasmine being the common thread that connects them. This new version is more textured and ambery than the Eau de Toilette. To achieve that, intensity has been brought to every layer of the composition (top, heart, base).

How would you describe the difference between CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum?
The Eau de Parfum is a fresh, woody scent that opens with a burst of zest that is even more invigorating and exhilarating than before, accentuated by a hint of aldehydes. In this variation, the floral heart of jasmine is richer and adds a luminous, full-bodied quality. The teak wood accord and its intensified ambery notes add richness and depth for a more present trail.

CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Parfum is available in sizes of 50ml and 100m starting August 2023.

I received a tester from a purchase a while back and forgot that I had it. Fast forward to today, I discovered it amongst a bunch of testers on my vanity. I sprayed it liberally, and I can still smell it after more than 8hrs. The lingering note is musky (maybe the amber?), which I love. I caught whiffs of it throughout my workday, and it seemed very unisex to me, as opposed to when I initially sprayed it: quite feminine. I'm not good with notes, etc., but I prefer florals, and this is beautiful. This is definitely a FB for me.

KristinaAlexis

This smells almost identical to light blue on my skin without the sweetness and and the apple note. I like this but I don't like light blue. The spillage on chance eau fraiche is good and this is a complement getter. its easy breezy sophisticated.

LavenderJuliette

I was in a long search for my new favorite perfume. In the past I liked the heavy- headache inducing patchouli and jasmine perfumes, but this has changed. I love this perfume. It is elegant, fresh, not too complicated, but beautiful. It really leans to masculine side, but I like this element too. I feel like when my husband wears his Bleu de Chanel and I wear this, it is like twinning moment and we both like it (I know it is a little bit cheesy :)). Girls from office love this scent too. I will buy a bigger bottle next time :)..

femme_ivoire

Aldehyde nostril-punch opening. The teak and amber add warmth, the jasmine is inoffensive, but this one is a bit rough around the edges. Appropriate for casual settings.

Slightly masculine-leaning. Reminds me of Allure Homme Sport - if you enjoy that, you'll probably like this one.

I don't hate it, but it's not something I reach for frequently.

Honestly, not worth the price for what it is.

Like another reviewer, I'm confused how a scent can be labelled both 'parfum' and 'eau fraiche' simultaneously.

briandamage

If you're in search of something fresh, and whose freshness LASTS and actually projects, isn't drowning in citrus or dish soap- this is your girl. I'm happy to find something clean that has more of a melon-woodsy feel but isn't green nor straight talcum. This is what I wish Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue and the million carbon copies of it smelled like.

Czill

Got a sample from Chanel counter. Generally, I like clean and fresh scents and I love Chanel.
I sprayed this on my wrist while doing home office and although initially it didn’t seem bad, around half an hour in I had enough and had to scrub it off.
It starts pretty, fresh and quite masculine but after a while turns into strong citrusy smell. One that I would associate with oldschool cleaning products (nowadays my toilet cleaner smells like flowers!). I definitely prefer cheapie but goodie Cologne 4711 which imho, after this short test, smells more sophisticated than Chanel.

LawmaLlama

very woody and refreshing, but much too masculine for my taste

VirgowithLeo

Fresh lemon scent
Slightly different than Tendre one
This one is more lemony

Dimanta

I never liked the EDT version but decided to try the EDP. And another disappointment. It reminds me of the toilet bowl cleanser. Something citrusy fresh and toilet-y. It was not good on my skin! I wanted to go home and wash it off but when I got back home it was almost gone, I could not smell it anymore. So I understand the longevity is really poor. Might be better on clothes but didn’t last on my skin, thankfully.

marusiatko

I do not get all the comments about fantastic sillage of this EDP. On my skin this perfume lasts approx 1 hour, sillage is minimal. I ve been using the EDT since its launch&have to say it stays better on my skin. I am a diehard Chanel fan but this EDP is huge dissapointment (disclaimer:I bought it last week at Heathrow Airport) :(((

Danimcc90

Love at first sniff the silage is fantastic. The Jasmine and teakwood shine all the way through to the dry down. 10/10 I adore this creation.

eaudemale

This is more feminine than the edt, a lot more floral and aldehydic clean soapy. The citruses and the woody notes are less intense making this edp a lot more versatile while still being undeniably a Chance flanker, yes, the original DNA is still here. As it dries down a friendly amber note sweetens the composition but the flowers aren’t going nowhere, also, the floral notes are very fruity like, with that classic Chance pineapple. And of course there’s also the typical, super expensive, crunchy mineral Chanel patchouli.
While the edt is ideal for office, beach, weekends, etc, the edp can also work for spring, summer evenings, dinners or romantic settings.

autumnblue914

Really just what it says, a slightly deeper and woodier version of the EDT. I prefer the EDT though.

ihateperfumes

luvleh xx. absolutely gorgeous drydown. Shits expensive though, so not an everyday scentycito for me... shame.
:P

mimiarie

Fresh, clean, sporty. As others have said this can be a tad masculine, but I don’t find it off-putting, feels very citrusy and bright. Sometimes I need a break from all of my warm fragrances and this is perfect. Goes with a white t shirt and jeans aesthetic, makes me feel like I need to learn tennis and wear my hair in a pony tail. Clean girl.

Dexter G

It's a love from me! To be fair I already own and enjoy the edt version of Eau Fraiche but this more potent version is a winner! I will certainly chose this over the edt when the time comes to buy a new bottle. I would not purchase this in addition to the edt as the essence, the DNA remains the same between both versions. As expected, the edp has just got more ooooompphh! I am very aware I smell fabulous several hours after application! Eau Vive next for an upgrade??

Lavieparfumee

This is a big miss for me unfortunately. The opening is very fresh, citrusy and woody. On my skin it is very masculine, in the dry down the citrus disappears leaving a very woody soapy scent. There is a soft jasmine in the background, but you have to look for it, it's not a prominent note. This reminds me quite a lot of Irish Spring soap.

debsha

I recieved my sample today, and upon first spritz, it is loudly bright and smile inducing. Give it one minute and in comes the counteract,,,indolic granny's licked hankerchief, chasing you around to clean your face!!!

bonniexoxo

Don't know what they put in this perfume but I am in love with it! So fresh, clean, bright and a bit sweet. I can't get enough of it! I'll be sad when my tester runs out. Definitely suits younger women I would say. I love Chanel Chance Eau Tendre just as much. Such stunning packaging as well. Simple and classy.

Germany

Just bought the new Edp version as I ran out of the EDT . Let me tell you it’s quite a difference and not at all what I am reading here. The new version is creamy and ambery and musky fluffy and sweeter. It’s more feminine and rounder . EDT is more unisex and dry. Huge difference! Prefer the Edp 100 %
The more I wear this the better it gets. It has that creamy musky fluffy sweet dry down like TENDRE expect for this is more citrus and zesty and fresh. Love a good woody musk. This is great !!

skm50

I had this and loved the citrus opening, like a blast of juicy freshness. And then a nice woody floral drydown. Almost has a cologne-like smell with the ambery teakwood. Great unisex smell. Sadly, I had to return because it would give me these persistent nauseating headaches. I don't know what it is. Just made me sick every time, despite loving the smell :(

sabsizzle

I like the smell of this fragrance, but am finding that the more I wear it, the more masculine it starts smelling, which really is too bad (for me) as the longevity is there and it smells so nice and fresh! Its true that it doesn't really matter if it smells masculine or not, if I like it I should wear it, but at this point I like it but only if I were to smell it on a man. I own a bottle and now am trying to destash it, too bad.

Esna

Cool woman scent, Chanel version.

I get a lot of free designer samples when I shop and give almost all of them to my grandmother since anything smells great on her. Many times I honestly don’t even smell them since designer fragrances don’t impress me much even if they smell great and even if I do like them and even though I own several designer fragrances, I’m still more interested in other types; nothing wrong with personal preference ¿right? Anyway, I hung out with her all day today and loved her scent more than usual and she showed me this sample and I realized that even though she has several Chanel perfumes, she doesn’t own this particular one; now she’s getting it for Christmas from me. It lasted all day on her even after we moved and watered her (what seemed to be) 736,926 plants into a green house, ground up nixtamal, chopped up some aged meat and cleaned one of her three stoves (the wood one) and she still smelled great after all that at the end of the day! It didn’t alter or oxidize at all, still smelled as fresh as when she first applied it in the morning; impressive.

PLEASE DONT THINK THIS IS A GRANDMA TYPE SCENT, IT’S NOT! I think it’s universal for any age and actually quiet modern and fresh. The classy citrus, airy aldehydes and modern woods really make this a bright sparkling scent, almost like a skin clean aesthetic type but designer refined. I saw there’s a hair mist, I might get the hair mist for me. 😍

Antares811

I love this new EDP. Citrusy floral in the opening, warm, woody-ambery in the drydown.
Long lasting and very elegant.
Great layering with Coco Mademoiselle Body Oil.

TopnotchLady

EDT used to be my signature scent and I still love it.
EDP is sharp, smells like a hand soap and definitely more male.

Lady_lv

Purchased a bottle today and I’m IN LOVE with this fragrance! It’s SUPER nice. I have the EDT version, I like it, but the EDP is way stronger and lasts longer on me. It’s so fresh and clean with a bit of amber which makes it stay longer on the skin. This one will be staying in my collection! Now, I can’t wait for the Eau Vive in EDP, hope they release it!

ppalm

I had the chance to sniff this in Sephora today and I definitely prefer the EDT version of eau fraiche. The citron upfront with the aldehydes is over the top to the point it seems very artificial. then i'm smelling a soapy floral. At this point I have NO interest in the edp. I LOVE the edt version and I do not have an issue with its longevity or sillage.

I don't think anyone will need this if they already have the EDT.

annikahuhd

A bit too sharp and fresh for my taste. Also leans a bit too unisex on my skin since I prefer more feminine fragrances. Not a bad scent at all, just not for me. And because it's Chanel, it's kinda pricy for what it is.

raiza1990

Fresh and shampooish. Much stronger than the edt. Smells classy and smooth. Not my cup of tea, but if you like woody citrus scents, it’s worth trying.

Maya lilac

Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche EDP is a very easy, breezy type of scent.

Not that it smells identical to Mandarin Basilic or Eau Givree but it’s in the same vein. A very fresh, citrusy, clean, soapy, woody, innocent and inoffensive type of scent. Perfectly suited for wearing it in 40 Celsius degrees and above.

It smells natural and realistic but understated. Luckily, I don’t get aldehydes in here. Just citron, jasmine and teak wood.

Dare I say, it’s a more feminine version of Terre d’Hermes Eau Givree. Which I personally find to be unisex. Same notes combined and same execution. Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche EDP is somewhere in the middle the two scents mentioned above. Mandarin Basilic is sweeter and a more complex citrus and Eau Givree is a tad spicier.

It’s a DNA that I personally love but it’s overpriced. Chanel prices for this so called EDP is too high because it lacks performance, not intense enough like an true EDP should be for nearly 170€.

But it’s Chanel, so we are paying for the brand’s name…

DrRosie

After trying this a Macys, I had to purchase it and the limited body cream for it. Wearing the two together layered with the Coco Mademoiselle body oil creates a phenomenal combo.

Rose112

Eau Fraiche EDP is very similar to the EDT, with the biggest difference for me being that the base notes are much more pronounced. The teak wood notes really come through, and I would say lasts a bit longer as well. You still get that fresh, citrusy open as the EDT, but the EDP smells more woodsy overall.

I’ve had this bottle for about a week now, and have been wearing it a good amount. This feels like a perfume you can’t really overdo, as it’s just a very inoffensive and clean fragrance. Personally, I’ve been doing about 6 sprays and that feels just right!

Honestly, I think this could very easily be worn by men. It doesn’t strike me as particularly girly. This is very much in the category of unisex for me, as I think anyone could wear this. For the men out there, I’d say give this one a try over the EDT (though, you could wear that one as well!).

katie02kat

To me it is very similar to edt. It's just more floral, I love the edt and I liked this version too why not

Kuty22

I've been looking for a perfume that smells like this for years 😆
In 2017 I absolutely fell in love with Dove's shower gel - nourishing secrets invigorating ritual with avocado 🥑 oil and calendula extract -
And this scent reminds me exactly of it
I'm so happy 😊 it smells invigorating
Brilliant

ION

This is a very logical release. It is close to the original - a true edp version of "Chance Eau Fraiche" edt.
An Americanised, more straightforward and unisex interpretation If you like (even though I don't see many men going to the Chanel counter and buying it for themselves). A bit more oriental also (I get hints of a very subtle Coco Mademoiselle patchouli accord).
Don't get too excited however, there is nothing extraordinary here and if you already have the edt, there is no rush going out and buying this one.
The performance doesn't seem to be any better either - I was sprayed many times on my cotton t-shirt with this one and 6 hours later, it was hardly there. I'll have to give it another chance of course 😊 , but I get the feeling that the edt lasts more on me (certainly the older batches).
"Chance Eau Fraiche" edp, is not a bad perfume by any means and I think that it serves its purpose quite well, even without the poetry its edt sibling has.

junimo

Typical freshie with a heavier dry down because of the amber. Only slight woodiness on my skin. Aldehydes are prominent. Beautiful, but smells like so many others.

If you’re looking for something a lot lighter and brighter, try Versace Versense.

Clairexoxo

I personally prefer the original that I find more unisex/feminine leaning. I love the original’s interpretation of the lemon note and the hints of creamy musk.

This one is more masculine leaning. The teak wood is very prominent which is another difference from the OG.

floralfragrance

I appreciate the effort. Good perfume, certainly Chanel. The original was a certain work, with seamless combination of masculine with fresh feminine. I would always get compliments. This one, is not as smooth and there is a clash between the masculine and the attemted warmth. There is sharp that shouldn’t be there. The original one was crisp and fresh, this one is good in theory but not as great in execution. Chanel has been disappointing me with all the latest releases, including the Gabrielle line. Older creations, Allure, Beige, even Mademoiselle for instance were all super well blended and seamless. I’m afraid the time of good perfumes are long gone, so sad

imegaphone

This is more unisex leaning masculine than the OG when tested side by side. I prefer the OG. It also has a strong moss note to my nose even though it's not listed here. I tested it from an offical Chanel sample, wore it to work and I enjoyed the first 3 hours, but later it started smelling too masculine for me. So I won't be getting a full bottle, I have the OG and if I were to repurchase it would be the og concentration because it's lighter, airier and to me unisex bur leaning feminine.

huda_jubail

Imagine Chanel house comes out with a
PURPLE CHANCE !
Smells of fresh cut LILACS 💜💜💜

I love Lilac, why there’s no Chanel fragrance with lilacs in it?

Actually we need more colors in Chance line

Also imagine if it comes out with a light blue or a turquoise Chance. 🤩

Sigh

katerina.fel

1,5mL sample

I was sniffing some Chanels at Sephora when an employee approached me with a free sample of Chance EF EDP (since when does that happen?). I always skipped the Chance lineup because I'm not a freshie or a citrus lover. I quite like it. Chanel does not disappoint, love their consistency in quality.

Clean girl, blue shirt, well hydrated, office job but fancy.

I'm unsure if I want to buy it or not. I feel like whenever I get a bad bad reaction to my perfume from strangers it's when it's very citrusy. This might be the first citrus dominant perfume that I actually enjoy. So simple and so elegant. Also, I don't smell any jasmine. Can't comment on longevity yet.
It makes me want to explore the entire Chance line. I'll be back!!!

huda_jubail

Just bought it yesterday and I’m in love! It’s almost how I expected it to smell like, I really like the casuality of the EDT but THIS EDP is way much nicer and it’s so calming but refreshing at the same time, polished, elegant and polite. It’s so easy to wear anywhere at anytime but I would consider it a formal day time fragrance very suitable for business meetings and for attorneys ect…
10/10
Excellent creation

orpheusdream

Oh wow. I'm certainly not in the target group for this perfume, but I love the style of Olivier Polge.

Very modern, almost futuristic. Quite simplistic, but very 'effective'. To the point. What a beauty.

Love it.

serenitynoow

The opening on this one leans masculine to my nose, citrusy and woody, although I'm not getting the 'sharpness' other users have mentioned. I'm not the biggest fan of the first 2-3 hours of this on my skin, but 8 hours later I was getting wafts of something that smelled really familiar, I couldn't put my finger on it. Upon sniffing my wrist, this smells almost identical to Ralph Lauren's Cool from 2004 which is extremely nostalgic for me.

Addict2Perfume

As someone who has cherished Eau Fraiche EDT for many years I was so excited for an EDP release of this beautiful fragrance! The EDP has been reduced to a simple scent with a stronger base; a woody-sweet citrus with a sprinkling of jasmine. The EDT has more diversity to notes, the flowers sing, and the citrus sparkles on the skin. The EDP will be great for layering and the amber-woody dry-down makes this wearable in the cooler months for me. I have no regrets, Chanel is always pure class - you will definitely smell good!

brt

I stopped by the Ulta Chanel counter yesterday and gave this one a spritz. My nose was very pleased that Mr. Polge has really warmed it up by amplifying the jasmine in it. In the past, I'd found the edt version too masculine leaning for my taste, but I love this warmer, more feminine edition. The miracle is that it hasn't lost any of its crisp freshness. This one might go on my want list.

Michylaka

I knew I had to skin test this EDP. It sounded unique. It also sounded a little complicated. I love my EDT of Eau Fraiche. I call it my perfect Florida "Summer" scent. And it is. It is calming to me and gathers compliments everywhere I go. So this was a must try.

When I first tested this EDP ay my local Dilliards Chanel counter I liked the pompous Citron with the Wood and Aldehydes but I was not sure it was a love. Or if I had to have it. I kept on shopping letting it develop. I was trying on clothes and kept smelling a gorgeous soapy, woody Jasmine. It reminded of something. I could not place it. Then it hit me. L'Occitane...the shop.

Yes indeed. That was it.

This scent is very French. Very refined. But more reminscent of the South of France. Where the original Bouillabaisse comes from. Where Crudite is a normal day long snack. Where the sky is bright blue and the aqua ocean water twinkles as the Sun hits it as it moves about. And where Cote du Rhone Rose is the drink of choice for its refreshment.

I went back to the Chanel counter and bought the big bottle. I love it. It is a little masculine but on my skin as it develops I do get some moderate Jasmine too. I did layer it with my Caswell Massey Jasmine to give it a bit more of a floral kick and that was wonderful. Definitely skin test. And let it develop of course.

LadyIva

I was certain that I would love this new EDP - ouch, what a blunder! The problem is that the opening is too sharp and piercing, with citron and aldehydes, and I’m certain that there’s neroli lurking around, although it’s not listed. Later, when it settles, it’s kinda nice, but I can’t get over that unpleasant opening. Not a safe blind buy by any means.

baristacrat11

I just got this one- I absolutely was OBSESSED with the opening- I literally kept spraying it on my skin, clothes, hair, over and over- because… the opening !! One of the most satisfying smelling perfumes at first spray to me because the combo of the cedarish/crisp/woodiness… it just was reminiscent of when I used to open my mothers old cedar chest- with a burst of freshness and almost a chypre type wave behind it -that smell very unisex at first- but upon the dry down, everything just comes together and smells well balanced, leaning more feminine. I would get your hands on a sample and let this grow on you like it did me before blind buying. I’m now hooked and got myself a bottle. Mainly because not only did I think it rocks, but, I got lots of compliments - AND, from young women In their early 20’s at a restaurant and gas station!

Bleu de Chanel Pour Lui

Ki.marie

I finally smelt this since my Ulta finally have Chanel fragrances. This smells like a green flavored freeze pop with a mix of some woods. It’s far from basic, and I do not recommend blind buying .

pursueliving

This EDP is just what I was waiting for! This is stronger than the EDT but still has the "eau fraiche" smell that makes it decidedly Chanel and most certainly Chance Eau Fraiche. It's delicious and strong and it kind of "pops" with scent. It lasts a good six hours, sillage is beyond arm's length when first sprayed but settles into a comfortable scent bubble that I could smell for hours. Very similar to the EDT only it lasts longer and smells as if it's on steroids, but the scent's the same or so close I couldn't tell the difference. I'm very glad Chanel finally came out with the EDP.

Ulusia

If I had to pick one fragrance for spring and summer it would be this new edp. In the edt there was smth that bothered me - maybe my skin reaction, here it is not plus it has great longevity. Finaly I found beautiful citrusy fragrance that is rounded by other ingredients with decent longevity. Bravo.

violeteme

Beautiful! Very nostalgic, very similar to the EDT version, but I find this a bit purer, the citron and teak wood notes are better felt, more intense. Great longevity, gorgeous projection. Classy and refreshing.

melanie mother or foxes

Tested this in store today. I own and love the edt version and this is a stronger more vamped up version. This is lovely, I may have to invest. One spray on my wrist lasted a good 5 hours and I got wafts of it when I moved my arm. 👍🥰

RoseJam2020

Irish spring vibes for real. Too masculine . Jasmine too faint.

alternateu

I bought it within the hour of trying it on my skin……….
This is SO gorgeous, it has that sexy, vaguely woody and earthy base on paper (for me personally those notes come out first) with a strong Chance EDP DNA. On skin, at first spray, there’s a burst of citrus which quickly melts into waxy, fatty aldehydes. If you’re not an aldehyde lover (I absolutely am), you might not like this fragrance, especially since the rest of Chance tends to be patchouli, pepper, plus varying amounts of sweetened fruits across the flankers.

Chance EDP - the pepper in the beginning gives me headaches some days, but I absolutely LOVE the patchouli and it dries down SO sexy and musky on skin
Chance EDT - I prefer it at first spray to the Chance EDP - fresher and less cloying, but the dry down is disappointing and turns flat. There’s no sexy musky patchouli and the pineapple doesn’t stay.
Eau Tendre is not for me - too sweet. The EDT is way too girly and sweet for me, the EDP is nice on paper but still a little too feminine for me (I’m female but it’s somehow a little too girly)
Eau Vive - didn’t stand out for some reason
Eau Fraiche EDT - I must confess I didn’t try this on skin, only from the scent sample in the store, but the EDT smells a little crisper and more “freshie-type” perfume.

I would suggest to macerate the new bottles a little bit.
In the store, absolutely killer longevity and projection both on skin and paper - I could smell it walking around a busy, heavily fragranced shopping centre. My new bottle smells the same, but has less projection and only lasts about 4 to 5 hours.

Casbag11

Better than edt… had the edt and loved it but this is better… dry down is smoother the only difference I can detect …still perfectly unisex …something about the edt dry down annoyed me… this lasts longer too… I was needing to replace my edt but of course great timing bought the new one instead… happy with my purchase

nuitbleunoire

I experience this fragrance today and to me, it's a feminine version of Bleu de Chanel. Very fresh and sporty in this typical blue fashion, it's very nice and very Chanel!

RhettB27

The original Chance Fraiche is superior imho more crisp, airy, and the citron/lemon combo hitting just right with the light aquatic floral facets. The aldehydes on this EdP definitely come out during wear adding a more classic and green facet similar to No5, but overall I just enjoy the composition of the original Fraiche much more.

fourleafedrover8

Hmmm. This one has me in a bind. As a freshie addict I want to love it, and at first I found it fabulous, bright and fruity-green meets vintage perfumery but there’s something so powdery and aldehydic in deep dry down that makes me want to scrub it off. There’s a little too much laundry, a little too much of that classic shampoo scent that often reads apple. I wouldn’t personally purchase this at this price but I’d definitely love it as a gift.

Miss.Tara

I was just going to buy Les Eaux Paris - Paris, but this has the same addictive layer within, minus the patchouli AND lasts longer. I’ve enjoyed the whole Chance line over the decades, but this really is something special. Someone here compared it to a more refined version of CK One, and I’d agree. Though, Fraiche EDP has a touch of floral.
As far as comparing this to the EDT, imo, the EDP is smoother, less green, and more sparkling.

maen

I feel very lucky, I just tried Chance Eau Fraiche Eau de Parfum!!, well, for start it's something magical, very very Chanel, from my point of view it has a slight touch citric of course (same as the edt) , but later it doesn't work bitter, it goes more floral. Is said that it is more woody, but on me it is creamy sensual, it maintains edt dna always, majestic jasmine with a slide of kind orange and a little warm amber... I like it way better, updated and with more personality! Long-lasting and notorious, while the first one remained me more “fresh morning and sporty", now it is more daring and assertive, great edition!

npadua13

This is so fresh in a sexy and sophisticated way. I love the opening. I liked the toilette but was too weak so really happy they came out with a stronger formulation. I would wear this most of the year, maybe not deep winter but it’s very nice for super hot summer. I think it’s very nice classy wear to the office sent but husband loves it too.

beauu

A really beautiful scent, love this and the original one. Expensive but worth it, definitely a day scent and get such summer vibes from it!

qianqian

a much more refined and lasting version of CK One. Somehow it leans more masculine, but it's OK. Not floral at all imo. Clean and fresh citrus in the opening, smoothly connecting to a more woody middle note. A very unique one to add to my mostly gourmand / floral collection.

darc_5

I've tried it today at the store in comparison to the EDT. The EDP is definitely smoother with more wood at the base and slightly sweeter too. A lot more Chanel with the Aldhehydes at the top insteand of leamon. After a sniff of the EDP on my harm, I could only smell lemon on the EDT.... I regret buying the EDT only a few months 😭 ago because I prefer the EDP. After I'm done with the EDT I'll buy the EDP.

The EDT was one of my favorite scents, no doubt. This one I can say has surpassed it. Bought the large size. It’s worth every penny, luminous, full and beautiful. If you’re familiar with the EDT you will know the difference instantly. A little sweeter, more floral and rich, less grassy. Perfect on skin, blooms in the heat. The bottle cap is also very beautiful and a definite upgrade from the sheer plastic one in the EDT.

To my nose, this leans more feminine than the EDT, and truthfully, I like this one a bit more. Just a personal preference, but I really love the jasmine mixed with the aldehydes in this. While it still maintains the freshness that the EDT has, this feels less like a "generic" freshie. Between the two, if I had to choose, I would go with the EDP. This was a great addition to the Chance line! Next, Eau Vive EDP!

This is really masculine! It's nice but I was surprised by the smell. It's very woodsy.

Just got this in - gosh it's beautiful. Citrus opening dissipates well, mid can pick up the aldehyde in a non-abrasive, gentle way, a good reminder that this in fact a Chanel creation. Loving this dry-down, totally getting what comes off opening a box of Sweet-Tarts tabs candy or a roll of Smarties. Definitely giving what it was supposed to have gave for someone expecting EDT but EDP concentration and slightly more intense, which is exactly what I was looking for. Great new addition to the Chanel lineup. Also note, I've been wishing for this exact release from them since EDT is beautiful, but to me weak sauce and not worth the money. This is IT! Next, may we please get Eau Vive EDParfum!?

I'm very disappointed. The Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette was fresh and sparkling. Unfortunately, the Eau de Parfum, while opening with a citrus note, dries down to something like a mix of old shaving cream and tobacco. Maybe it's just me?

Just got this today. In the opening, I'm getting a green grassy, ever so slightly, dare I say, coconutty vibe? It's subtle. This is so creamy, elegant and well-blended. Much less sharp and slightly more feminine than the original. Love!

Yep @zebra782. Idiots with nothing better to do apparently. Surprised there’s no SpongeBob in the smell alike section. 🤦🏼♀️

Clowns are ruining the fragrance for everyone else as per, just because they don't like the notes or maybe they don't like the idea of the fragrance itself, Fragrantica has got to do something about these assholes, seriously...!!!

I just wanted to buy Fraiche edt or Tendre edp but now maybe this one will win my heart

Just bought this yesterday! You can really smell the super Chanel-like aldehyde in the opening not like the old Chanels. But it does smell fresh and sharp at the start and with more jasmine at the middles notes not as masculine as the edt~ I do smell a more forest like base note than the edt too! I swear I do noticed a very Chanel patchouli on the dry down it smells really different with the edt after the opening where you still find something similar with the opening comparing to the edt!

The juice is so much greener too~ this remains very fresh and uplifting I was worrying that it’d end up super musky like the chance edp luckily it doesn’t !! Still a summer grab and go with a woodier base. It was a surprise that Chanel would still love to add something new to the Chance family 😂 I do really like the Chance bottles! Grabbed the 100ml yesterday

I swear most Chanels all smell like lemon and aldehydes
