7 REASONS WHY CHANEL CHANCE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND

I’ve got a different perfume for almost every look that I own. Call it a luxury problem, call me a snob: I just need it to top off my outfits. A heavier scented perfume for in the evenings, a more flowery one for Sunday afternoon picnics and then there’s Chanel’s Chance. This one falls under the category ‘always a good idea and always divine’. It had made its way to the back of my perfume closet, but I’ve rediscovered it and we’ve blown new life into our friendship. Luckily so because…

…It cheers you up in an instant

Seriously though. Awful weather outside? Spray on some Chance and the sun will magically reappear. A bad hangover that you can’t seem to get ride of? Grab your Chanel and you’ll suddenly start feeling a whole lot better. And then I haven’t even brought up salary negotiations, work meetings or having to be the bearer of bad news. Nothing can go wrong if you’ve got Chance on.

…It’s the start of a wonderful love affair

It always starts with the scent. Which is impeccable. But there’s more to it. You’ve got a shower gel, a deodorant, a body lotion and even hair perfume. It’s a total family. So you start with your friend and then get the rest of the family with it. Oh, and they sure are a hoot! I bet the two of you will never break up.

…You’ve got hair perfume

So this one definitely deserves a category of its own. It’s another luxury thing, but you’re going to feel like the queen of the ball when you spray on some of that Chance onto your neatly blow-dried hair.

…You can take on the summer

A lot of people nod their heads stating no when you talk about scents and summer. But for some you just have to make an exception, because Chance will help you take on the summer and ban any type of sweat. How so? Opt for an alternative like the body lotion as a base (you’ll immediately be well hydrated and have super smooth legs) and for the hair perfume. Yep, there it is again. After having brought it up three times, you know it’s an ultimate must.

…You’ve got the prettiest bottle in your home

Round, glass bottles with charming bottle caps, matte front and a light pink shadow. You want it.

…You carry around luck

It probably won’t surprise you that Chanel’s Chance series didn’t just emerge out of nowhere. Everything was based on Gabrielle Chanel’s lucky charms. We all know Gabrielle had a thing for four leaf clovers. Very rare and not only a sign of luck, but also of a passionate life. And then we haven’t even mentioned grain yet: the symbol of abundance and generosity. Coco Chanel was born underneath a favorable star, hence the reason she enjoyed collection ‘lucky charms’. She was superstitious by nature. So if you’ve got this scent at home, you’ll be spraying on a bit of luck of your own.

…You’ll be one of them

The girls in the Chance commercials are always happy and radiant. Think of a Lieke van Houten (the face of the Prada campagne, worked together with Steven Meisel and has walked in a lot of A-list fashion shows), Romy Schönberger and Rianne van Rompaey. So spray on that Chance and you’ll be a step closer to being a top model.
