3 Best Chanel Perfumes for Summer

Moving right along with the summertime related posts, I wanted to do one for the ladies’ side of things, and focus on one of the most popular brands: Chanel. For this list, I am going to focus on the best perfumes by the French design house, which will work best in the summer. I have already covered the best overall Chanel scents, but many of those are too heavy and cloying for the heat. The list is in order, as a top three, for the season but all of them will work just fine. It’ll boil down to personal preference.

What are the Top Chanel Perfumes for Summer?

The Best for Summer

Chance Chanel Eau Fraiche Eau De Toilette Spray, for Woman EDT 3.4 fl oz, 100 ml– Chance Eau Fraiche is a wonderful fragrance and particularly excels as a summertime wear.  Chance Eau Fraiche features a top that is both aquatic and citrus, with lemon leading the way.

The base notes of the perfume hold things together with fresh cedar and a great pink pepper note. It is a clean and light scent, but not weak, that will holdup perfectly in the heat and not get bogged down or warped.

Also, shares plenty of the same qualities that makes the original Chance so beloved. Chance Eau Fraiche Review

The EDT Version

Coco Mademoiselle EDT 50ml/1.7oz Brand new & sealed– The EDT version of Coco Mademoiselle is another awesome pick for the summer months. The EDP is more well suited for the colder months, so, make sure you pick up the correct bottle.

The EDT is cleaner and has a lighter overall profile, led by citrus notes including: bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin orange. The patchouli can initially come off as strong, but once settled in, it totally works within the composition aiding the citrus.

The other main draw, is the jasmine note, which adds a light floral ingredient to this perfume. While not as heavy as the EDP, this one still has a very good longevity and the sillage isn’t ever underwhelming.

Most Popular

Chanel Chance Tendre Eau de Toilette Spray For Women 1.7 OZ./ 50 ml.– This is the best smelling version of Chance, in my mind, but probably the second best option for summer. Eau Fraiche is the better summer wear, but this one still works well in the heat.

In the opening, the crisp citrus notes work well with the floral notes: jasmine, iris, and hyacinth. The drydown, feels more suited to spring, with the slightly powdery floral notes and musk.

Also, the flowers are more prominent in the dry down, than is the citrus. As such the dynamic changes. Still, this one smells great regardless of season, and is a best seller for a reason.

Best Men's Colognes

Best Men’s Colognes started back in 2013, as a way to share my learning experiences with different fragrances, as I dove head first into the hobby. Since then, I have written hundreds of reviews and other pages about perfumes and colognes.
