Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chance Splendide Eau de Toilette
Divisive and underwhelming if you're expecting classic Chanel, but a bright, playful, and surprisingly long-lasting fruity floral if you're after a modern, easy-going scent that gets compliments.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Love in Black Eau de Parfum
This polarizing violet-centric fragrance is either a dark, sweet, and sensual masterpiece or smells like burnt plastic, rubber, and regret. There's no middle ground, so sample first unless you're feeling adventurous.
