As a commuter living in a large city, you begin to realize that there are all sorts of smells that work their way into your personal space - welcomed or not. This olfactory invasion happens more frequently than you think, but I cannot stand those lingering scents that seem to attach to you and follow you everywhere you go.
When
hair mists started popping up, I didn’t look twice. Hair mists? Why couldn’t I just use perfume? Well, after doing a
bit of research, I realized that maybe it wasn’t the best idea to be spritzing
my hair with perfume. The alcohol in perfumes can cause your hair to dry out –
not the look I’m going for. With that, I decided to bite the bullet and pick up
the Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Hair Mist (35ml, $56 cdn) to see if a
perfume made specifically for hair would keep my hair smelling great without
drying it out.
What it does:
Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Hair Mist is a gentle mist
that enhances shine while the light and airy scent helps keep your hair fresh
throughout the day. It is a delicate perfume specially designed to not dry out
your hair.
Packaging
Chanel puts great care in making their products look
and feel luxurious. With the frosted glass bottle and metal side frame, this is
elegance in a bottle. The silver metal spray nozzle is just your standard
nozzle found on most perfume bottles for even distribution.
Product
This light and airy fragrance is exactly what I
needed in my daily routine. Chanel Chance Eau Tendre is a fresh, clean and
sweet smelling scent without being overpowering. The scent only lasts a couple
of hours, which I feel could be improved on but it is undeniable that those
first couple of hours keep my hair smelling incredibly fresh. As you need to
reapply every hour or two to keep this scent going throughout the day, I feel
they should create a “travel” bottle to take on the go. The glass bottle,
although only 35ml, isn’t very travel friendly.
Verdict
This hair mist is definitely a luxury that isn’t
necessary for day-to-day use. However, I cannot get enough of this scent! The
sweet grapefruit notes combined with Cedar and Jasmine work so incredibly well
together, I can’t stay away. I will have to pick up the perfume at some point
as I generally find it difficult to find a fresh and clean scent that is soft
and not overwhelming for my daily use.
Repurchase?
I know this is 100% a “nice to have” product but if
you’re like me and you commute to work in all types of weather (ex. insane wind, humidity, you name it),
I bet you would want to keep this as your secret weapon in your purse at all
times (keep it well protected!). I will absolutely repurchase this mist in a
heartbeat! This is the exact scent that I need to freshen up when I arrive to
work after battling 40 KPH winds!
