Perfume "Chanel Chance O Viv", reviews of which you can read endlessly, the variety of opinions and epithets is so interesting - this is one of the six Chanel "Chances", fragrances that captivate with nobility and expressive character. At the same time, each fragrance has its own image. Let's see what they say about "Chanel Chance O Viv" - a novelty released in 2015.
What is he like?
"Chanel Chance O Viv", reviews of which we will analyze below, is positioned as a bold and decisive fragrance for modern young women. Radiant, spicy, bright, energetic - this fragrance brings good luck. Perfumer Oliver Polge is known as the author of luxurious and sophisticated compositions (working with the most reputable perfume houses such as Cacharel, Choprad, etc.) with a clear and bright Hollywood image. Suffice it to recall Pure Poison from Dior, which is called round and lush, like a bride's outfit.
Note analysis
"Chanel Chance O Viv" belongs to the rather popular group of "floral woody-musky". Such fragrances are universal: they are suitable for both young and mature women, thanks to the solidity of woody notes. The new fragrance "Chanel Chance O Viv", reviews of which confirm its versatility, includes fairly familiar notes. The composition is simple, but this simplicity is quite unusual in the compositional solution, each stage of the fragrance is bright and complete. The base of the fragrance is jasmine, underlined by the warmth of white musk. The start is a stunning fresh citrus mix. Grapefruit, citruses, red orange - and nothing else. In the base - bitter vetiver, familiar in men's perfumes, but invariably surprising in women's perfumes, delicate but solid white cedar and one of the most mysterious flowers - irises. As a result - expressionist bright composition, captivating with its ambiguity (femininity-masculinity, freshness-solidity).
"Chance O Viv" and others
In 2003, Eau De Toilette was released - a noble, serious fragrance with an unexpected note of pineapple. There is also a version of Eau De Parfum - a composition based on vanilla, iris and jasmine. In 2007 - Chance Eau De Fraiche - perhaps the most controversial in this line. In 2010, the most tender and youngest Eau Tendre was released - with notes of quince.
Eau Vive was released in 2015. Of course, the previous fragrances have already managed to fall in love and acquire some kind of reputation, sothat we will allow for the fact that an objective assessment of the novelty will become in 10 years. However, it is already clear that in the series of "Chances" the new citrus fresh fragrance has not taken the last place. It's classic (unlike "Chance" Eau De Fraiche and Eau Tendre) yet has a light and universally pleasant citrus start.
Vial and promotional image
It is worth a few words, because the bottle always supports and reflects the image. Sophisticated connoisseurs are able to quite accurately tell what kind of fragrance is inside, judging only by the bottle. For "Chanel Chance O Viv" (reviews confirm this!) Manufacturers have chosen a perfect and simple round shape. Nothing extra. The flavor is really round. As planned, clarity, sonority and simplicity do not make it cheap. This is the simplicity that is inherent in very expensive things. Quality - in work, materials, but not in the external decor. It is also no coincidence that a girl with red hair was chosen to advertise the fragrance - this once again emphasizes that the fragrance is bold and bold.
Why people love the fragrance
Beautiful, groovy, invigorating - that's what they say about "Chanel Chance O Viv" reviews. The average rating is a four, because there are very few people who categorically disliked the fragrance. There are a lot more of those who admitted that the perfume deserves attention, but simply did not sit down ("not mine", "you can have it in your wardrobe, but not your favorite"). Those whom the novelty has endeared to themselves claim that heit sounds light and fresh, first delicious citruses, not at all rough, but delicate, then lush flowers, and at the end soft warm powder with a slight attractive bitterness. Designed for summer, it's crisp and clear, yet also suitable for the cold season, thanks to the warmth of woody notes and heavy earthy vetiver.
Thanks to the chemistry of the skin, a rather controversial fragrance pyramid can play in different ways. Perfume "Chanel Chance O Viv" can turn different faces, and if they open, they can become loved ones. Those who are lucky describe the fragrance as feminine, stylish and very beautiful. Citruses do not hit the nose, but play softly, but the flowers come to the fore, while they are gently shaded with physicality, warmth, and powderiness. The bitterness in the base is not coarse, masculine, but piquant, fresh. Nice sillage, great longevity.
Some called "O Viv" the best of all "Chances": long and beautifully opening, citruses look original on the expensive Chanel base. Sounds good in the cold and on cold dry skin. Delicious natural grapefruit invigorates and improves mood. The overall fragrance is feminine and sexy.
Criticism
Even those who love it say that the fragrance is not unique, and those who do not like it do not skimp on epithets: boring, rude, unemotional, spineless, pale, inexpressive, too simple, regular compote.
Opening notes can sound too rough, pushy andabruptly (this is how you can perceive the determination declared by the manufacturer), and then without transition they turn into a typical men's perfume. And despite the variety of descriptions ("acidic chemical fruits", "cheap citruses"), many can be reduced to the fact that citrus fruits are too active and there are too many of them.
In contrast to the image of a cold men's perfume, the reviews depict another, opposite character. Pale, simple, dull, cucumber, light low-budget water, a creation in the style of Britney Spears, and everyone is confused by the fact that this average compote was produced by the house of Chanel. Nothing like the classic "Chance" which sounds really luxurious and bright.
Conclusions
As always, it all comes down to testing the fragrance on yourself, on your skin and in your life. Reviews can give an approximate picture and "dilute" too syrupy descriptions of manufacturers. "Chanel Chance O Viv" is undoubtedly interesting and worthy of attention. But is it possible to be determined, daring and elegant with…? The answer is yours.
