10 perfumes in similar style to Chance Eau de Parfum by Chanel

This floral-gourmand accord is created with a perfect partnership of vanilla and patchouli base notes and jasmine and plum at the heart. The opening offers an exquisitely refined oriental accord with dates and pomegranate to conjure the glory of the Byzantine era.

Parfumeur : Luca Maffei

Rich, musky and powdery Besos (Spanish for kisses) has a big spicy jasmine sambac heart. The volatile carefree flower is anchored with earthy powdery iris  absolu and ambery benzoin.

Perfumer: Shyamala Maisondieu, the nose behind perfumes such as Velvet Orchid (Tom Ford), Incognito (Rouge Bunny Rouge), Terre de Lumiere (L`Occitane) among others.

The Sniff on Besos:

"... the heart of Besos is delicately and pleasantly floral. It has shades of both carnation and strawberry milkshake at times but it is never overpowering or too sweet. As it opens fully it becomes dry, powdery and almost a little old-fashioned. One can imagine a beautifully coiffed Edwardian lady smelling like this."

Nosy Be... sounds like a motto for an inquisitive perfume lover. It is, however, the name of a tiny island north of Madagascar. It's an island specializing in the production of patchouli, ylang-ylang and other magical fragrance materials for the perfume industry.

Patchouli Nosy Be is a tribute to the tropical humid shade loving plant that when distilled lends an ambery, dark, leathery and almost chocolate aroma - patchouli.

Naturally, it's the precious patchouli from Nosy Be in the perfume in the company of dense vanilla, dusty schinus molle and dry sandalwood.

Conceptually Shermine is iris morphing into ermine, a cool woody material (which iris can be) turning into clouds of caressing powdery fantasy iris.

The perfumer hinted at the many faces of iris. Cardamom and lavender show how cool and aqueous iris can be. The Argentinian lemon note brings out the crispiness and sparkle and vanilla and musks highlight the creamy softness. Finally, clouds of classic powdery iris woodiness come out on the mix of vetiver, patchouli and guaïac wood.

The Sniff on Shermine:
"[it] is an mysterious fragrance which showcases woody notes alongside softer florals and musks. Both tantalising and bold, soft and woody, this fragrance is a changeable one that will match your every mood."

Perfumer: Olivier Cresp

A delicious, shimmering floral from a Maître Olivier.

The perfume is luminous and hypnotic like the moon reflected in the Mediterranean Sea.

Magnolia is resting on velvety woods.

"Astrakan conjures the dense apple orchards of Sweden. These Astrakan apples are artfully spiced and sharpened with cinnamon and oranges; while the vanilla, sandalwood and doses of gurjum resin ensure the effct is woody and green rather than warming and christmassy. The diffusion is complex in it's layers and serves a shimmering effect that invokes a sense that you can't get enough. Overall this is a fruity fragrance that is rich, sophisticated and delectable.

Perfumer: Alexander Olsson

It's a dark deep aquatic perfume with a formula that takes you from salty warmth from the sun pebbles, into whispering waves and eventually to the opaque inky depths inhabited by giant squids. Feel the caress of the huge tentacles.

Delivering complex layers of fruits, woods and florals with a leathery background. Bountiful roses and tea-like rosehip fuse creating a shimmering floral effect. While earthy patchouli is balanced with bright tones from orange and raspberry. Musk underlines the edible quality which is enriched by warming amber. Overall the effect is a spiced and leathered rose that makes for a seductive impact.

Perfumer: Alexander Olsson

Nuda Veritas signifies the beginning of a spiritual quest on the search for happiness.

The perfume unfolds with a delicate floral heart of jasmine and osmanthus encased in layers of textural whiteness, full of hope and yearning. Humanity is connected to the earth and minerals through hints of moss. We look to the sky and seek the naked truth, laid bare in a transparent, watery haze with hints of patchouli and the gentle caress of ambroxan.

A serene moment, simple and true…

Perfumer: Christophe Raynaud

A moonlit leather made with velvety violet leaves and smooth cool orris, all studded with cardamom, dry cedar and spicy earthy cypriol.

In the Beso trio, Beso Negro ("kiss of the darkness") represents the sleepless nights of the busy holiday island: velvety darkness, golden lanterns, cooling sea breeze, stars, and sand.
