Because we have been thinking: "Smelling nice is good!"
Today’s Perfume: Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche, $82
What Sephora says: "Chance Eau Fraîche, the newest incarnation of the unexpected fragrance, now takes on a sparkling freshness. The unexpected floral bursts with a lightness and zest as notes of citrus, Water Hyacinth and Jasmine Absolute are highlighted and energized with woody notes of Amber of Patchouli and Fresh Vetiver."
The packaging: Tres adorable! Totally classic Chanel but we actually like the green, Palmolive-y tone for the eau fraiche. And we could look at that iconic Chanel logo all day long. A+
The smell: We had been complaining about Marc Jacob’s Daisy lately—how it’s all young and light, or at least marketed that way, but we find it totally annoying and cloying and an aggravating attempt at getting 14-year-olds to spend $60 on fragrance. This, we feel, tries to do all those same things but totally succeeds: It just says light and fresh and new. We still don’t feel mature enough to pull off No. 5, but we can totally get behind this. A day scent, for sure, but perfect for that.
Our grade: A
So I also would love to smell good all the time, but I’ve been thinking that maybe some sort of lotion or conditioner would work better, and I’d be more likely to actually use it. Your thoughts? Do you know a wonderful-smelling lotion or shampoo of some sort that might fit the bill? Does the scent fade more quickly? I’ve been eyeballing some of the Fresh products, but I’ve never actually tried them.
Fresh’s Cannabis Rose is my favorite… both the perfume and the body lotion. And, no, it does not smell like bong water. The cannabis note is nicely balanced with rose and chocolate. If you get the gift set, you get quite a bit of perfume (definitely enough for a year), lotion and shower gel. It’s way less expensive than the full bottle, which will get a little skunky by the time you finish it anyway.
Also, Fresh’s straight Cannabis Santal is a little strong/sweet for me. Maybe better for boys. Who are smellier.
I’m wearing this today! Love it love it love it, and it just gets better and mellower as the day goes on.
