Chanel Chance

Chanel Chance is a very feminine perfume housed in a charming bottle.  The scent is very elegant as well as it is romantic. 

Chance comes in a round bottle which is very distinct from the classical plane Chanel N°5 rectangle bottle. The inspiration for the bottle is a wheel of fortune thus the name Chance. The scent is fresh with flowery notes and sensual spicy fragrance. The juice has an amber-colored shade. This fragrance was created by Jacques Polge in 2003.

Daisy by Marc Jacobs

Daisy by Marc Jacobs is youthful, feminine and happy as well as spontaneous. 

It was first introduced in 2007 and has arguably taken the perfume stands by storm. I don't know anyone who does not love the simple and energizing scent of this perfume. The bottle cap has PVC petals adorning it and one sniff of the fragrance will make you want to smell it over and over again. It is pretty much a decorative bottle too. This fragrance was created by Alberto Morillas.

AWARD: Winner of the Fragrance Foundation's FiFi Awards for Women’s Luxe Fragrance of the Year and Women’s Prestige Best Packaging in 2008

Daisy is an excellent mix of wild fruits, fragrant flowers with an injection of vanilla.

Jo Malone will launch Tuberose Angelica this month. It is the newest addition to the brand's Cologne Intense collection including Amber & Patchouli, Rosewater & Vanilla, Iris & White Musk, Velvet Rose & Oud and Saffron. Just recently Jo Malone also launched London Rain quartet. Ahhh, Jo Malone! I could not get over the scents, so chic and elegant. You just have to try to appreciate.
