CHANEL Introduces CHANCE EAU SPLENDIDE

CHANEL’s latest fragrance, CHANCE EAU SPLENDIDE, marks an exciting new chapter in the House’s beloved CHANCE collection. Created by Olivier Polge, CHANEL’s In-House Perfumer-Creator, the new Eau de Parfum is a luminous interpretation of luck, courage, and self-belief—elements that have always defined the CHANCE line.

The new scent is the fifth version in the CHANCE fragrance collection, following the original CHANCE, CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE, CHANCE EAU TENDRE, and CHANCE EAU VIVE. This new addition introduces a fresh hue to the CHANCE palette: purple. This shade, often associated with creativity, elegance, and mystery, reflects the character of the scent itself. Rich in symbolism, it conveys a blend of energy, creativity and mystery, reflecting the complexity and elegance of the scent itself.

At the heart of CHANCE EAU SPLENDIDE is a sparkling raspberry accord that evolves into a floral core of violet and rose geranium, partially cultivated in CHANEL’s Grasse fields. The scent finishes on soft yet powerful notes of white musk, cedar and powdery iris—an unexpected blend that feels both spontaneous and composed.

To launch this new fragrance, CHANEL has collaborated with Belgian singer-songwriter Angèle, who has been associated with the fashion house since 2019. In the campaign directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Angèle performs a new song titled “A little More”, composed especially for the film. The visual narrative follows her through a fairground hall of mirrors—symbolising life’s twists, turns, and reflections—as she attempts to capture a moment of chance.

Angèle’s involvement aligns with CHANEL’s vision of the CHANCE woman: spontaneous, bold, and optimistic. At 29, she continues to expand her creative footprint internationally while staying true to her distinctive voice and point of view.

Whether you’ve been loyal to CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE, EAU TENDRE, or EAU VIVE, there’s something irresistibly fresh and empowering about this new purple potion. It doesn’t just smell divine, it’s a scented declaration that your story is yours to write, and your moment to seize.

CHANEL CHANCE EAU SPLENDIDE Eau de Parfum, available in 50ml and 100ml. Available now at Chanel Fragrance and Beauty Boutiques. Sandton City, V&A Waterfront, Menlyn, Gateway.
