The biggest deception of the year comes from Chanel because the famous house with its impeccable style and exclusive exceptional fragrances has now its shampoo. Chance Eau Tendre is the shampoo version with double C. It is not a luxury version but a very cheap one, similar to what you can buy in discount stores where cheap cosmetics could be mixed with counterfeit perfumes. Chance Eau Tendre has a very thin smell, a very basic structure that is not the sign of design purity, nor the anti-perfume idea of Serge Lutens. The only interesting facet of the perfume is the quince-light pear. You'll notice that in the official description (the drawing) the notes are said to create an unexpected accord - it is the shampoo, the bad 2010 surprise from Chanel. I have no doubt that 10 years ago this formula was used in a Bourjois shampoo (company owned by Chanel) and now it is recycled as happens at P&G or Unilever. Never in my life I had imagined that Chanel could go so low (and so close to other perfumes from the market). Ecologists took out the animal notes from Chanel No 5, IFRA took out the jasmine, now it is the style that is fragile inside this house. Is it the end of the world?
La plus grande déception de l'année est signée Chanel parce que la fameuse maison avec son style impeccable et ses parfums exclusifs exceptionnels a maintenant son shampoing. Chance Eau Tendre este la version shampoing avec le double C et ce n'est point une version luxe mais la plus déplorable. Chance Eau tendre avec son odeur "skinny" et sa structure rudimentaire n'est pas le signe de la pureté design, ni de l'anti parfum imaginé par Serge Lutens. Il n'y a qu'une seule facette intéressante - le coing-poire suave. Il y a 10 ans cette formule aurait été destinée à un shampoing Bourjois (l'autre société du groupe) et maintenant elle est recyclée comme il arrive chez P&G ou Unilever. De Monop elle nous arrive dans le sillage du faux luxe. Les écologistes ont laissé le parfum Chanel No5 sans ses notes animales d'origine, IFRA lui a ôté le vrai jasmin et maintenant c'est le style qui se volatilise à l'intérieur de la maison. Est-ce la fin du monde?
