Chanel Chance O Viv perfumes , reviews of which can be read endlessly, the diversity of opinions and epithets is so interesting, is one of the six Chanel Chances, aromas that captivate with nobleness and expressive character. Moreover, each flavor has its own image. Let's see what they say about Chanel Chance O Viv, a new product 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. Shining, piquant, bright, energetic - this fragrance brings good luck. Perfumer Oliver Polge is known as the author of luxurious and sophisticated compositions (works with the most respected perfume houses such as Cacharel, Choprad, etc.) with a clear and Hollywood-like way. Suffice it to recall Dior's Pure Poison, which is called round and lush, like a bride's outfit.
Note analysis
"Chanel Chance O Viv" refers to a fairly popular group of "floral woody musk." Such aromas are universal: they are suitable for both young and mature women, thanks to the solidity of woody notes. The new Chanel Chance O Viv fragrance, reviews of which confirm its versatility, includes fairly familiar notes. The composition is simple, but this simplicity is rather unusual in the compositional solution, each step of the aroma is bright and complete. The base of the fragrance is jasmine, emphasized by the warmth of white musk. The start is a stunning fresh citrus mix. Grapefruit, citruses, red orange - and nothing extraneous. At the base is a bitter vetiver, familiar in men's perfumes, but invariably surprising in women's perfumes, delicate but solid white cedar and some of the most mysterious colors - irises. As a result, the expressionist women have a vivid 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 pineapple note. There is also a variant 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 young Eau Tendre was released - with notes of quince.
Eau Vive ("About Viv") was released in 2015. Of course, the previous aromas have already managed to fall in love and gain some kind of reputation, so we will make a discount on the fact that the objective evaluation of the new product will be in 10 years. However, it is already certain that the new citrus fresh aroma took not the last place among the Chances. It is classic (unlike the Chance of Eau De Fraiche and Eau Tendre) and at the same time has a light and universally pleasing citrus origin.
Bottle and advertising image
It is worth a few words, because the bottle always supports and reflects the image. Sophisticated connoisseurs are able to tell with sufficient accuracy what aroma is inside, judging only by the bottle. For Chanel Chance O Viv (reviews confirm this!), The manufacturers chose a perfect and simple round shape. Nothing extra. The aroma is really rounded. The idea is that 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 for advertising the fragrance - this once again emphasizes that the fragrance is bold and bold.
Why they love aroma
Lovely, groovy, invigorating - that's what the reviews say about “Chanel Chance O Viv”. The average rating is four, because there are very few who do not like the fragrance categorically. There are many more who admitted that the perfume deserves attention, but just did not sit down (“not mine”, “you can have it in your wardrobe, but not your favorite”). Those who are attracted by the novelty claim that it sounds easy and fresh, at first tasty citruses, not at all rough, but tender, then lush flowers, and at the end soft warm powder with a light attractive bitterness. The fragrance was created for the summer, it is sonorous and clean, at the same time 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 pyramid of aroma can play in different ways. Chanel Chance O Viv perfumes can turn in different directions, and if they open, they can become loved. Those lucky describe the fragrance as feminine, stylish and very beautiful. Citruses do not beat in the nose, but play softly, but the flowers come to the fore, while they are softly tinted by physicality, warmth, and powderiness. The bitterness in the base is not coarse, masculine, but spicy, fresh. Beautiful train, excellent durability.
Some called "O Viv" the best of all "Chances": long and beautifully opening, citruses look original at the expensive Chanel base. It sounds good in the cold and on cold, dry skin. Delicious natural grapefruit invigorates and improves mood. Moreover, in general, the fragrance is feminine and sexy.
Criticism
The fact that the fragrance is not unique is even said by those who love it, and even those whom it did not suit, do not skimp on epithets: boring, rude, unemotional, spineless, pale, inexpressive, too simple, ordinary compote.
Initial notes may sound too rude, assertive and harsh (that’s how you can perceive the manufacturer’s stated determination), and then without a transition turn into a typical men's perfume. And despite the variety of descriptions (“acidic chemical fruits”, “cheap citruses”), very many can be reduced to the fact that citruses are too active and there are too many of them.
In contrast to the image of a cold masculine perfume, one more opposite character is drawn in the reviews. Pale, simple, dull, cucumber, light low-budget water, a creation in the style of Britney Spears, and everyone is confused that this averaged compote was released by Chanel's house. Not at all like the classic "Chance", which sounds really luxurious and bright.
findings
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 can one be full of determination, daring and elegant with ...? The answer is yours.
