It is a perfect gift for someone you love or to treat yourself with. It is timeless and you will never get sick of it. They came out with Idole Aura, Intense and Nectar since August 2019 and they are all to die for, Idole Intense is a close runner up to this one. You just have to try this perfume at least once. I promise you will be hooked.

If I could only wear one perfume for the rest of my life it would this Chanel one. It really is worth every single penny. Some of the Chanel fragrances can be more aimed towards the older generations but this one, it's young, modern and classy. If you were ever to buy a Chanel fragrance, let it be this one. The Chanel Chance range is all just incredible. The Eau Fraiche fragrance in that range is beautiful and fresh and just like a summer's day. Just pure luxury.
