Chanel launched Chance Eau Fraîche in 2007. Now Smell This announced it in February as a lighter version of Chance, developed by Jacques Polge, then the house perfumer, and first offered in a 50 ml bottle.

Luck according to Gabrielle Chanel

The house links the line to a phrase of Gabrielle Chanel, “A chance came my way, I took it,” and to the idea that true luck is the luck you create. It describes it as unpredictable, appearing where you least expect it, to be seized within a few seconds.

A Chance family

Eau Fraîche belongs to a family the house now counts as five interpretations of Chance, including Eau Tendre in 2010 and Eau Vive. Chanel also offers a Chance Eau Fraîche Eau de Parfum, covered in a separate entry from this Eau de Toilette.
