CHANCE EAU FRAICHE For Women By CHANEL

Comment: For all the hype on the stuff, I was expecting a bit more. The product is very strong and not all that appealing. It's quite hard to use it without accidentally spraying too much and then having to scrub at your wrists for a while. When others wear it, I often have to back up a bit because of how overwhelming it is, probably because the bottle seems designed to spray more than you need. If you're going to buy an expensive perfume, buy a different one.

Comment: The only reason this is getting two stars is because I LOVE, love, love the scent. I have a tendency to like the less 'feminine' scents, and this is a nice fresh clean one. Problem is that no one has ever commented on it, I never smell it on myself, and I think it's not because it's disliked, I think it's because the scent wears off almost instantly. [...]. SO not worth it. I think I could bathe in the stuff and not have the scent last. Waste of hard-earned money.
Update May 2010: So I've started using a little more (like 3 to 4 sprays instead of 1 or 2), and voila!, several complimentary comments have come my way. I still love the fragrance and still think it's way overpriced for its staying power, but the fact that it's different from anything else I've tried ('masculine' is a term I have heard bandied about in reviews) is making me stick with it. I wouldn't go so far as to call it masculine, especially after it's had a while to assimilate, but it's definitely, absolutely unique.

Comment: I sprayed this on at the mall on a whim and I found it light and pleasant.A week later I was out of my little sample I got and I thought,wow,that' different,I guess I have put this on every day...And then I went through three more samples which the ladies at the Nordstom counter were happy to give me and I realized that I can't live without this fragrance.And it's the only fragrance ever that I have re aplied in a day,cause it's not too strong.This is the first fragrance ever that I've been able to wear every day without getting tired of it and I don't feel "whole" if I don't have it on.Oh,I love it! Now I got to figure out how to come up with the$90 for a bottle...
