WoodyWhat does Chance (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
It opens with hyacinth, iris, pineapple and pink pepper, which give it a fresh, green and fruity feel. In the heart, jasmine and citrus fruits carry the floral side forward. The base of patchouli, vetiver, vanilla and musk closes it on a woody, powdery note with a soft sweetness.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear and the office leading the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine. Xerjoff Accento and Sospiro Accento Viola have a close profile.
