Beauty Bites: Chanel Chance

There once was a time when I would only wear my favorite perfume on days deemed “special” or those few and fleeting “fancy” occasions. I was like Gollum and only wore my coveted scent sparingly; afraid to use it for fear that it’s pricey beauty would be spoiled on something unworthy. However, I’ve long since abandoned that silly notion and now favor the idea that every day is special and I’m worth the scent splurge. Now I spritz on a favorite fragrance even if my day simply includes a comfy pair of sweatpants. Oh yeah, super fancy . . .

I actually tend to rotate fragrances depending on my mood, and one of my current faves is Chance by Chanel. I received the Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Eau de Toilette Spray (thanks to a loving husband) for my birthday last year and then the Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Sheer Moisture Mist for Christmas (thanks to my thoughtful mom). The mist bottle is a wonderful way to freshen up your scent during the day since it’s super convenient to just throw in your handbag (or even your gym bag).

It’s a dreamy and delicate scent that is both sweet and seductive. I get compliments and “what are you wearing?” every time I wear it. If you’re looking for a new scent, I recommend taking a chance on Chanel Chance. You won’t regret it, and you’re worth the splurge.
