CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Toilette by CHANEL

marta — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:16:55 +0000

Introducing CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Toilette by CHANEL.

A new facet of CHANCE is born — the third generation of the CHANCE Fragrance family. CHANEL Master Perfumer Jacques Polge has created a new fragrance constellation that is a whirlwind of tender and vibrant notes. This incarnation of the decidedly youthful scent reveals itself to be both delicate and airy, with an intoxicatingly light, fruity trail. An unexpected mingling of grapefruit and quince meets the crispness of fresh green notes, while a trace of Jasmine Absolute lingers in the air. Gently warmed by a sheer veil of White Musk, CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Toilette is at once innocent and seductive, for those who dare to dream anew.

CHANEL CHANCE EAU TENDRE Eau de Toilette: $65.00 for 1.7 oz., $90.00 for 3.4oz.

On counter: March 2010 at Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s Soho & 59th Street in New York City, CHANEL boutiques and Chanel.com

April 2010 at all CHANEL counters in department and specialty stores

Vanity Fair, L’Oreal and Demi Moore celebrated Helena Rubinstein’s launch of the century this week–All You’ve Ever WANTED, the new fragrance inspired by Demi.

Demi was joined by Ashton Kutcher, Zac Posen and an elite group of V.I.P.s to toast the debut of the fragrance at Monkey Bar in N.Y.C.

Reflecting her modern love story and captivating allure, All You’ve Ever WANTED is a contemporary expression of Demi Moore’s daring appeal.
