Crowded perfumeries and bitter heaviness - Ciao Chance!

A little disclaimer in advance: Dear Chance-wearers, don't let this comment spoil your mood. He is, as always, purely subjective.

Here goes: The hype around some perfumes is sometimes inexplicable to me. I feel the same way about Chance. I test it now for the second time and come again to no positive result. And apparently I am not alone. The classification of the fragrance already shows that it can't quite decide what it wants to be. One could interpret this positively and claim that it is versatile, mysterious or ambivalent. But no, I mean that he is a mishmash of different fragrances, which at least on my skin smell like nothing more than after a lush bath in splashed together, synthetic fragrance (ge)waters.
Chance smells like the wall of scent that slaps you in the face when you walk into a crowded perfumery. That bitter, synthetic heaviness that instantly goes from my nasal to my oral mucosa and makes me feel like I weigh 10 kilos more.

- With the spraying on, the synthetic austerity crashes into me.
- About 15 minutes after spraying on, a friendly floral note winks out - probably iris or jasmine. However, the fragrance remains bitter and heavy.
- Hours later, the scent remains heavy. Pink pepper and vanilla be "thank you?" The floral wink turns into a somewhat musty, or at least organic note. You can give the fragrance credit for that.

Last but not least, a note for sensitive noses and people with migraine problems: From this fragrance you should better keep your hands off.

(Okay, I have to admit that this review was a bit nasty. But from me speaks now once the frustration about this fragrance. Other reviews fall out for it the friendlier, if a perfume really convinces or at least has potential)
