'Eau Splendide' is the latest addition to Chanel’s beloved Chance fragrance family, launching April 15 with a bold new take on fruity florals. Created by master perfumer Olivier Polge, this perfume captures the spirit of serendipity with a luminous blend of the raspberry accord, geranium rosa, and airy cedarwood -- ushering in a new olfactive direction for the house.
Eau Splendide is the first Chance fragrance released under Chanel Fragrance and Beauty president Simona Cattaneo, marking a new era of creativity at the storied brand. Described as joyful, bright, and free-spirited, it offers an optimistic counterpoint to Chanel's more classic scent profiles while staying true to the house’s ethos of creating scents that empower and express identity.
Housed in the signature Chance round bottle, this violet-hued edition joins its pastel-hued siblings as a standout expression of modern femininity.
