Sparkling, surprising, mysterious: for CHANEL, chance never comes by chance, but is born from a meeting at the right time, from a provoked rendezvous. In the wake of Gabrielle Chanel, who used to say that chance was her soul, chance appears in all its splendor in the middle of the chessboard of life. It can be seized with audacity, provoked, with courage, called out loud, and it can be seized by risking everything.
CHANCE is the perfume of those who, like CHANEL, believe that chance smiles on those who know how to seize it. It is a state of mind, an act of faith, a roll of the dice that determines fate in a game that repeats itself endlessly. CHANCE is an olfactory encounter that is always a winner.
An encapsulated energy that flows with audacity and mischief, a laugh that explodes naturally.
This enchanting euphoria was captured in 2003 by Jacques Polge, Creator of CHANEL Perfumes from 1978 to 2014, with the creation of the first CHANCE, an unexpected perfume capable of subverting the established order.
Since then, three other interpretations have revealed three new shades: CHANCE EAU FRAICHE in a dynamic and lively green; CHANCE EAU TENDRE in a delicate and tender pink; CHANCE EAU VIVE in a fiery and enterprising orange. Four fragrances, four chances: formulas that foretell the beauty of what is to come, enclosed in bottles as round as bowling balls to be thrown in the game of life.
At the origin of CHANCE there is an idea, a state of mind, that we wanted to express in very different ways. Each version of CHANCE is unique, but they all express the same state of mind. This is not a classical composition, but something that belongs to the realm of feelings, of emotions that each of these perfumes expresses. Something extremely alive and powerful. Olivier Polge, Perfumer Créateur of the House of CHANEL
And suddenly a new CHANCE presents itself. A new perfume, like a springboard towards the future, stretching towards ever propitious skies.
In the CHANCE range, a new color. After pink, green, yellow and orange: purple. The shade of magic and lightness tinged with mystery. A rebellious energy, which conceals behind its vivacity a surprising depth and power. This new creation by Olivier Polge is a marvel of paradoxes. Playful, yet rooted. Brilliant, yet rigorous. Its floral-fruity memory instils a luminous and bewitching mysticism. A sparkling raspberry accord meets facets of crisp fruits, rose and violet, blending with a refined and magnetic floral heart of pink geranium, grown in the CHANEL fields of Grasse. A cedar with subtle nuances combines with notes of white musk in an accord that prolongs the hold and releases vibrant woody notes, accompanied by a sophisticated touch of powdery iris.
With its delicate refinement and its joy that leaves no detail unturned, this new CHANCE fragrance knows how to surprise. It appears unexpected and tells a splendid and playful story, while seeking its fortune in a laugh that explodes insolently, like a bet played to infinity.
To embody a universe as infinite as the lines of its bottle, a vibrant and enchanting personality was needed. A sunny character, capable of cultivating this secret full of possibilities. A free and spontaneous spirit, bearer of joy, commitment and creativity. With her whirlwind of energy, her sincere nature and her lucky star, Angèle is the ideal “lucky charm” for this new chapter. Angèle, a 29-year-old Belgian singer, songwriter and actress, has seized her chance at every stage of her career, transforming the challenges that came her way into extraordinary artistic feats. In the film, we see her venture into an amusement park attraction: the mirror maze, where she tries to seize her chance with her unique way of throwing herself into the kaleidoscope of lights and illusions that represents existence.
