I have a bottle of this! Since I am wearing it as I am typing, let me give my two cents' worth. It is not cloyingly or sickeningly sweet. It is fresh and ethereal, quite understated actually. It is not a terribly complex fragrance but it works for hot weather.

Chanel
I was pleasantly surprised by the softness and enduring quality of this fragrance.

A unique aroma - a combination of many smells; feminine and sensual. Chance could become as unique as to me. It smells like nothing else I have smelled. Little strong, but when sprayed, is light enough that you smell wonderful.
FRAGRANCE NOTE: The Jasmine and Hyacinth , citrus aromas, sandlewood aromas.
