Chance Eau Vive

Chance Eau Vive is a luminous citrus fragrance with a refreshing, almost effervescent opening of blood orange and grapefruit, followed by a delicate, softly powdery floral heart of jasmine and iris. The dry down reveals a quietly sophisticated Shanellesque base of cedar, vetiver, and white musk, delivering a soft, elegant, and slightly unisex character that evolves into a bespoke, wearable lightness. It’s not boldly assertive or dramatically complex, but its strength lies in its polished simplicity, clean texture, and ability to elevate everyday wear with a quiet sense of poise. The fragrance stands out for its remarkable longevity and a subtle roundness in its projection, which can make it feel more present than it actually is. It excels in spring and summer, particularly in sharp, cool weather, where the citrus and woody notes rise beautifully. Many users describe its character as both feminine and unisex, with a subtle edge of haze or softness that keeps it from being overtly sweet or feminine in a saccharine way. It’s ideal for work, day wear, or when you want to feel effortlessly composed.
