Allure Pour Homme Chanel for men of Chanel

Description

His allure, or pace, is determined, but lightsome. The composition is created of four main fragrant lines: green freshness, warm sharpness of pepper, strength and elegance of wood, and warm sensuality of labdanum, and tonka. None of these main lines can be sensed separately, together they create a harmonious whole. The top notes are mandarin, lemon, peach and bergamot; middle notes – freesia, geranium, rose and jasmine, and in the base – benzoin, tonka, sandalwood and vanilla. The perfume was created by famous Jacques Polge and launched in 1999.

    A true bohemian perfume.

    Youtuber’s are hyping Allure Homme Eau Extreme that they forgot that this is much better than the Eau Extreme. Sometimes, I think Youtuber’s are turning new generation of fragrance lovers i to a bunch of sheep and they only know what they see most of the time of the time on YouTube. This is more sophisticated and the best in the Allure line in my opinion, just look at how many notes this one have compared to the new Allure releases. This has been Alluring for almost 20 years now and it is still better than 90% of the designers coming out today. I have all the Allure except for the cologne sport and I say this is the best.

    It amazes me that people forget there’s an original Allure, not just Sport and Edition Blanche flankers. This is my favorite “nice guy” scent that I wear for any situation. It just smells so warm and sexy.

    Very different from AHS and AHSEE, in first 15 mins i got ginger just like in l’homme making it perfect office fragrance. 30 mins into it, i get lots of lavender similiar to that of Legend/Fierce/PB New York but little bit pepper. I don’t think its unique or daring. It is certainly wearable just like aforementioned two. Not as long lasting or heavy as some are suggesting, maybe victim of reformulation. All in all very unimpressive.
    Note 1: It is more like l’homme in terms of both notes and sillage than any other allure. Not many people are pointing that out.Ginger in l’homme is bit sharp though.

    I tested this today (I’m sure I had done years previously) and it reminds me of the late dry-down of my beloved (and now empty) large bottle of Edition Blanche EDT concentrée once the lemon has died down in that one, in fact the sprayer smells close to this one.
    This juice smells very refined, classy and yes simply alluring. They chose the name well. I say ‘simply’ alluring despite the huge number of listed notes. This is an incredibly smooth and likeable fragrance indeed.

    With the entire Allure lineup being my favorites and owning all besides this one I had to revisit it after wearing it out of high school when it was released and never really giving it another chance. This was the first high end scent I purchased and adored. I purchased this again last week and I’m not disappointed. I was expecting to smell something dated but to my surprise it is still fantastic and very versatile. Has that fantastic creamy vibe the entire Allure lineup is known for. (Besides AHS Cologne) Perfect for fall and winter.

    I have been reading so controversial reviews. I also feel the tobacco note. It is a nicely composed fragrance. I have never had a single bottle of any Chanel fragrance. Definitely Allure Homme will be the first one in my collection. Works great on my skin; lasts longer than expected and blows my mind. I go for it!

    This was my first true love. I received my first bottle of this back in 2006 by this girl I was seeing at the time. I still have that bottle (there’s like 10 ml left in it).
    I have tried the newer formulations and they do smell slightly different, a bit more soapy, if that makes sense.
    The original was more sensual and sweet. Gorgeous fragrances which is very underrated.

    I have to say I am delighted that my bottle of Chanel Allure is finally empty because I lack any good memories or experiences with the scent. It is mediocre at best and very weak. It disappears in about 15 minutes. The fragrance surprised me when I first smelled it hence why I chose it instead of Chanel Egoiste or De Bleu but did not expect it to be so weak.
    All I know I am avoiding this fragrance from now on.
    5/10 and I am being generous.

    This came out in 1999, its hard to believe because it still holds up as a modern scent. The date of this review 9-1-18. This is a absolute lady killer. My 63 year old uncle says its hella good, he usually gos for the older gen stuff, like the strong scents with tobacco, oud, or patchouli scents, (Chypres). I think these new Chanel batches are a little weaker on longevity is the only downside.

    Smells Awesome even in 2018, this blows Bleu De Chanel out by a mile. Masculine Sophisticated freshness with depth. Blend very well and projects. Whether a Niche or Designer nose, this will get you noticed and compliments guaranteed.

    Honestly,who can dislike it??This is so beautiful!Yes,it is a mainstream,it’s common,it’s commercial,but I love it!You know,there are not disonant tones,everything is blended perfectly,it’s a nice guy!:)Blind buy for sure.(If you have a taste:))Enjoy it!

    Really loved this luscious juice and it seemed the perfect complement to living in a cold Canadian climate in the early 2000’s. Since relocating to a warm, humid climate, my fragrance rotation has changed, favoring lighter, less creamy scents. I still have a 3.4 oz vintage bottle (80% full) of APH available that I would be willing to sell (US inquiries only). Message if interested.

    This is great. Manly, sexy, very well-blended. I can’t pick out specific notes. I get 8 hours out of this. Appropriate for any season or occasion. I got a compliment for this in the fourth hour I had it on, from a woman (KK).

    I love this so much since it reminds me of my favorite ice cream, Creme Caramel. To me, it really smells like caramel. It is probably the most versatile fragrance available. It can be worn in any season or time.

    This is a great summertime dinner or bar scent. No need to confuse it, very nice.

    A perfect all time all occasion fragrance in my view. The lemon , Vanilla and Peach opening is very nice and reminds me of my older days when I was just a kid and my elder brother used this fragrance.

  19. :

    4 out of 5

    I have the old version and the new one.
    The old is softer and more creamy and the new one is well, fresher and more peppery.
    I prefer the old smell since it’s softer.
    Projection and sillage are the same honestly.

  20. :

    @dda. I have the latest version with the silver ring around the cap. Never had the older formulation, so I can’t speak to that, but I think this latest one is gorgeous. I’m probably the only fan of this frag that gets a tobacco note, but that’s just me. Perhaps I’m confusing something else with that note, but it’s very prevalent to me. It’s just a great, creamy, classy and beautiful scent as far as I’m concerned.
    As far as performance issues, when I first got this one, I didn’t think the longevity was very good, but as with so many other perfumes I’ve had, this one seems to get better with age, and use. I wore this a couple of days ago and was still getting “whiffs” of it 8-10 hours after application. While it will never be a “beast,” I find the performance, for me, to be more than adequate. I would say this is a gentleman’s cologne, and one that will definitely be “discovered,” rather than “announced,” in polite company and I think it’s perfect for just about any occasion and season, depending upon application. Hope this helps.

    So beautiful. Almost 20 years, and only now I get the chance to smell this masterpiece. It is sophisticated charisma booster. Very dense. People will definitely notice the wearer, simply because it is not something they smell every day (unlike cologny frags like bleu, dylan blue, sauvage…). Very creamy, sweet and yet very fresh. Best when it lingers around. Love it.

    Love it but terrible performance… why !? My bad, that’s a pity !

  23. :

    5 out of 5

    Love this stuff. Its got an old school vibe yet it still works great today. Good performance as well.
    The citrus, vanilla and ginger stand out the most for me.
    Lots of people say that this isnt a very versatils fragrance but I completely disagree. I can wear this year round, day or night in pretty much any situation. Dates, office, casual gatherings, upscale settings.
    This stuff is awesome but what I love most is that it isnt very popular lately compared to the rest of the Chanel colognes, so I never have to worry about smelling like someone else.

  24. :

    whatever is it, it is very versatile fragrance, very easy to love, very easy to wear and very pleasant too, now a day very modern, still the same smell but less intense compare to the 2014 where I have been sprayed it on my shirt every time I check out the new fragrance

  25. :

    4 out of 5

    Almost 20 years old and still smells revolutionary. So overlooked and forgotten just because it’s not as versatile as the Sport flankers, but a fragrance should not only be judged on its versatility.
    10/10

    This planet doesn’t deserve this masterpiece we’re unworthy.
    I think this scent is from another world, from another galaxy. I don’t know. It is too good to be from this planet.
    Sorry!:) 10/10 Masterpiece

    I’m about halfway done with a 1.7 ounce bottle that I got at a bargain. This is a work/date scent out for a mature gentleman. I know that term gets thrown out a lot, but this scent is professionally intimate. Its classy, yet warm, but not overly bearing. Picture a man with salt and pepper hair in a suit wearing this. He’s a stern, but caring supervisor somewhere.
    Scent: opens with vanilla, creamy peach, and light Tonka/coconut. Its not sweet like a cake, but its creamy and refined.
    Season: Fall, spring, and mild winter days. I wouldn’t wear this on a hot summer day.
    Performance: Solid for a designer scent. I get about 2.5/3 hours of arms length in projection before it becomes quiet and turns an enhanced skin scent. I get about 5-6 hours overall. It lingers on your clothes.
    4/5

    Smells really nice, there’s a perry ellis fragrance that imitates it surprisignly well. maybe less quality, less long lasting, but I prefer it honestly.

    Amazing opening with a fresh blend of mandarin orange, bergamot and lemon softened with a subtle twist of peach, lavender and ginger.
    Classy and at the same time sparkling and fresh.
    Definitely on top of my “Allure” line list.

    I obviously missed the boat on this one. I’ve seen it in stores for nearly two decades, but really didn’t pay it much attention. I did buy most of the flankers, however. Yesterday, I decided to give it a real shot and wait to see how it evolved in its current formulation. Can I just say that I’m in love? I have no idea how amazing it was 10 or 15 years ago, but I’m super impressed with the scent, longevity and sillage as it currently exists today. The projection is very good. It lasted over 8 hours on my skin, which is very difficult for any fragrance to accomplish these days. Best of all, I got my first compliment within 10 minutes of applying it. Maybe going retro isn’t a bad idea, because even though most people have Allure, not many of them are wearing it regularly.

    @Fix If you like this scent and want performance . Then get Ferragamo F Black, smells way better than a vintage bottle allure I had.

  33. :

    4 out of 5

    @fix I have been wearing allure pretty much exclusively since it came out and it really has changed. I used to wear it and get loads of compliments on it. It was a bit warmer and less citrus. Chanel has really watered this one down, unfortunately. Granted, it’s still a beautiful cuddly scent, but a shadow of its former self. Used to be quite unique.

  34. :

    4 out of 5

    I don’t know what it used to be in the past, but I do own 1.7oz of current formula, and unfortunately both sillage and longevity are nonexistent on my skin. What a shame, considering that the scent itself is beautiful. Despite this huge pyramid of notes, to me it smells quite simple and classic, it’s fresh, airy and light, yet it manages to come across as a very elegant scent. If only it lasted on me… I really wanted to keep it on my love shelf, but I simply can’t…
    If I’m not the only one who gets the same performance from it, then Chanel is just ripping us off with this kind of quality.

    I put dislike just because I honestly just don’t reallt like this wearing this one. It’s actually a great fragrance, whatever material is in this one to comprise that subtle woody patchouli note , so artfully tucked away in this one, is a very high quality material, I like when that part comes around. But every time I’ve worn this besides one single time, I just don’t feel like wearing it and wash it off. I will say the one time I felt more intrigued to wear it wasn’t one day at work, it was spring time and I had put on some of the regular green speedstick deodorant (which is the same fragrance in Skin Bracer), and in the air it mixed with one or maybe two sprays of allure homme, and it really had synergy there, it was amazing absolutely. I recommend checking that out, just wear a single spray of allure or maybe two. It is very dense and strong

  36. :

    Received my 1.7 of this baby today. I sampled this the other day on my wrist, and at first sniff, I wasn’t impressed. After about 15 mins I caught myself sniffing my arm repeatedly like a weirdo. That was all the convincing I needed to buy this. It smells great and it lasts forever on my skin so all the reformulation talk does not interests me. A++++
    Has hints of the orange that’s associated with Allure Homme Sport but without over doing it. All around great cologne.
    8.7 out of 10

  37. :

    4 out of 5

    Like the original Polo, Allure carries a strong emotional connection for me. It’s so strong, unfortunately, that while I absolutely love this frangrance, I could never wear it again. My unresolved issues aside, Allure is truly a well-crafted scent. It brings together strong citrus, spicy, green, and wooden notes to create a really well-balanced clean, slightly sweet, unquestionably classic fragrance. I have a staunch ‘no more than three spray’ policy and still found the projection to be strong in the first few hours and then mellowing over the rest of the day. The longevity seemed strong to moderate.

  38. :

    5 out of 5

    I don’t have this but I have a bottle of Perry Ellis M and F Black. I hate the opening of PE M that I never actually get to smell the dry down. Gives me a fat headache. Yuck. I need to stop blind buying. F Black is nice though. A little peppery but the drydown is awesome. Very formal and manly.

  39. :

    4 out of 5

    By far and without doubt the best perfume for men. Full stop. BUT. You need to find a bottle made in France and that is the original version. Made in USA ones are pale in comparison.

  40. :

    Idk where all these mystery notes popped up on this fragrance, but this is my first time trying it and I honestly really like it.
    It has a classic “cologne” vibe to it, yet still fit for modern day.
    Chanel’s website lists: Mandarin, Coriander, Cedar, Tonka, Labdanum, and Black Pepper.
    I honestly really enjoy this fragrance, I wouldn’t call it very complex, but it’s also not totally linear either….it’s caught somewhere in the middle.
    You can really smell nice fresh top notes of cedar and mandarin, and as you warm this the tonka, labdanum, and black pepper come through. I’m having trouble detecting the coriander, so if it’s in here, it’s very subtle.
    This is a very well-done fragrance in my opinion and I feel this could suit a myriad of occasions. This is full bottle worthy for me.

  41. :

    I like this better than eau extreme or blanche..it smells like lemon tea. BUT I prefer antaeus or platinum egoiste over this.

    3 out of 5

    I really wanted to love this,but I just couldnt.
    I gave the bottle to my brother, cause he is in his 30s and im on my early 20s. Maybe its just supposed to be for the people his age.

    I spray 2017 Chanel Allure Homme spray on my LEFT ARM
    I spray 2017 Perry Ellis M spray on my RIGHT ARM
    I smell them every 30 minutes. Here is my detail reports:
    【They don’t smell alike】maybe in the past they did,
    but not in 2017 reformulation. They OPEN differently,
    they Smell differently, they DRY differently
    【OPENING 1st 30 min】
    [CHANEL] open with Strong Pungent Lemony Citrousy scent
    Well blended, Strong but doesn’t over-powered the nose
    Bright, Pungent, Beautiful, and yet smell Expensive
    [PERRY] horrible opening with strong peppery kick (Anise?)
    overly synthetic, overly powerful, turn my nose off completely
    [Summary] Big Win for Chanel. Repeat: They DON’T SMELL
    ALIKE! Not even close. Chanel is Chanel [period]
    【After 30 min】
    [CHANEL] Lemony Citrous faded into a → Woodsy GREEN
    (ceda, patchouli, vevitver) Beautiful Transition
    [PERRY] Synthetic peppery kick is gone, Cinnamon makes its
    soft debute. Frag takes on a gourmondish vibe
    [Summery] still a Big Win for Chanel, both show Transition:
    Chanel went from Lemony Citrous → Green Woody Frag
    Perry M went from Synthetic mess → Cinnamon Spice
    【After 60 min】
    [CHANEL] NOOOOOO! Smell is FADING into skin Scent
    there is NO BASE, Once Opening & Mid show themselves,
    the entire Frag is disappearing right before my eyes. I can
    faintly smell it if I DIG MY NOSE against my wrist.
    [PERRY] Cinnamon Spice melt with Sweet Vanilla + Tonka
    Beans resulting in a very Strong Projecting Cinnamon Vanilla
    After 1 hour, Perry M is now projecting stronger & sweeter
    I ♥ this 3rd stage of Transition into Cinnamon Vanilla.
    [Summary] Very Disappointing performance from Chanel
    I feel the fragrance is GONE TOO SOON, not satisfied
    PERRY M is surprisingly strong after 1hr. In fact, it shines
    【After 90 min】
    [CHANEL] has completely disappear, in 1hr 15min
    [PERRY] wow, still going strong with an inch Scent Circle
    Perry Dry Down beautifully, Sweetness calm down nicely
    Leaving a Warm, Spicy, semi-sweet Cinnamon that lingers
    [Summary] BIG BIG WIN for Perry Ellis M in the end
    【Conclusion】
    • They do not smell alike
    • They do not perform alike
    • They are in fact completely different FRAG
    CHANEL has 1 stage transition from Citrous → Woody
    PERRY enjoy 2 stage transitions:
    (1) Peppery Synthetic Mess → Cinnamon Spice
    (2) Cinnamon Spice → Sweet Cinnamon Vanilla
    Perry M dried like a Gourmond, very nicely done
    CHANEL is the FAST RABIT that win early, but
    PERRY is the SLOW & STEADY TURTLE that won
    the RACE. As much as I ♥ Channel Allure Homme:
    • PE(M) has better DRY DOWN
    • PE(M) has better PROJECTION
    • PE(M) has better LONGEVITY
    • PE(M) has better VALUE
    I ♥ the CHANEL, and I really want to like CAH. But the performance of 1 hr 15min is rather unacceptable to me. If I really dig my nose against my wrist, yes I can smell it faintly @2hr, but that defeat the purpose of any fragrance. The scent is truly lovely, but the performance is horrible 🙁

    After so many flankers and reformulations, the original is still the best. I hate the Sport flanker, so cheap smelling.

    Morning, day, noon or night. Hot or cold, this stuff is the bomb dot com. One of my favorites from Chanel for versatility.

    If ever a well known, successful fragrance was crying out for an Intense/Extrême/Concentrée/Eau de Parfum flanker – the original Allure Homme would be it.

  48. :

    5 out of 5

    @cvaile the original was more complex and beautiful. Made more of a statement. Used to get loads of compliments. But tjat being said the newer version is still pretty and draws compliments.

  49. :

    I tested this today for the first time, the new version with the banded cap. As mentioned below, it is quite the lovely, moderately sweet woody spiced scent like The One but with the primary accent being the ginger and the amber taking a supporting role.
    I also think this reformulation must be a pale shadow of the original for two reasons:
    1. I don’t sense nearly the wide range of notes listed, and it stayed pretty linear. The opening and the drydown just aren’t that different – and I’d wager that would be practically impossible in a formula with as wide a variety of notes as listed above for the original.
    2. It was a skin scent within an hour and even now just in hour 4 it’s clearly fading fast – which seems to mirror the experience many are having with recent Chanel reformulations.
    I’d buy the reform at a steep discount, but not before. I am intrigued enough to take a few glances out there for a vintage bottle.

  50. :

    4 out of 5

    Wow that’s a whole lotta notes listed. Chanel.com lists the following :
    Top: mandarin and coriander
    Mid: black pepper
    Base: cedar, tonka, cistus labdanum
    Yum, yum, and more yum.
    Six of my favorite smells, all in one juice, by one of the best houses/ noses in the business. I’m inclined to agree more with Chanel.com. however, due to the fact that I feel that Allure smells similar to The One, I’ll give you the ginger vibe. But it isn’t as sticky sweet on my skin as The One was, so I prefer Allure.
    And benzoin. Right off the cap I smell benzoin. For those unfamiliar, benzoin smells like vanilla extract, or even vanilla rum, and dries to a sweet cola smell. I don’t smell the vanilla note, which to me, is more vanilla ice cream than benzoin.
    This one is a four season, day / night gem. Enjoy.

    This is one of the best purchases I have made.
    Smells citrusy fresh (not shower fresh), clean, mildly aromatic & spicy…very distant similarity to Polo Sport….
    A very clean, elegant perfume from the house of Chanel.
    Must buy for anyone who wants to smell clean, fresh & classy at the same time.

    Fresh, spicy aromatic, sweet muskuline and sexy .. what a worderfull scent fron chanel it’s a classy fragrance.
    Silage and projection is good. longevity is great i got 8-10 hour.
    For me it’s a signature scent. 9/10 tq all

    Parfum yang sangat versatil. Tidak ada satu scent yang begitu dominan. Aroma citrus, vanilla, woody, dan rerempahan diblend jadi satu dengan komposisi yang matang sekali.
    Sangat relaxing dan charming. Imajinasi saya terbang kepada mas-mas kantoran yang memakai kemeja putih bersih (oke, tidak harus putih namun bersih) dan well groomed. Tidak ada kesan bahwa orang yang memakai parfum ini orang yang belum mandi atau dekil (walaupun mungkin orang tersebut belum mandi). Mungkin ini yang dinamakan dengan parfum kategori “very clean”.
    Jikalau bisa, dapatkan parfum Chanel Allure Homme yang tanpa ring di tutupnya (sebelum reformulation seperti foto di atas). Saya telah mencoba parfum CAH setelah reformulation di butik Chanel PI dan mendapatkan longevitynya lemah sekali.

  54. :

    I agree with the comment below. A little over a year ago I repurchased this fragrance only to learn it smelled cheap and lasted not even an hour. I sold it immediately because they reformulated the living hell out of it.

  55. :

    4 out of 5

    The current formulation-the one with the ring on the cap-must be a joke. I mean, is it Chanel-the prestigious distinguished house? Is it the same Chanel that everybody had faith in with regards to quality? I paid Chanel the premium price because I knew I would get my money’s worth.
    CURRENT FORMULATION is a skin scent after an hour and lasts barely 5-6 hours most. I bought Allure homme sport-the 2017 formulation-and it is the same weak juice.
    What is happening to Chanel in the last 5 years? Bleu edp, the reformulations, Allure edition blanche edp (same strength as edt and less creamier), less exclusifs edp bullshit, Olivier Polge-son of Jacques Polge-the head perfumer (this might be my personal choice but I never got around to his mass market pudding/gourmand/toffee/cloying sweet commercial releases-Christopher Sheldrake would have been an excellent choice and more deserving) and I can go on and on…..
    These are very dark times for people who love perfumes. The bastards at IFRA are to blame for this and the greedy lecherous corporate heads who’ve made every best selling product a cash cow by watering it down.
    Sad times Indeed….

    A Man for All Seasons…
    It took me a while to really appreciate this one, and what it does etc. This is a fragrance which, on the outside, can be deceiving, but which really has different facets.
    I am a fan of Jacques Polge, the perfumer. He is a master at what he does, and I do believe that a lot of preparation was put into this one. He said he wanted Allure Homme to be a “diamond” perfume, which is to say that it is a multi-faceted work. The perfume is an oriental, but it has aspects of other genres. That’s why I call it an “all-round” male fragrance. We have vanilla, we have tonka bean, we have lavender and spices and black pepper, and we have lemon and fruit. It’s almost like it has everything in there… and the great thing is, it works! At no point does this fragrance clash or not function in any way.
    I could sit here and call it “generic” but that would be unfair. It is very well made and extremely versatile and appealing. Just to say this, that on the first day of wearing it, I was complimented by a lady. That rarely happens within the first 24 hours. So for that alone you know it is a good perfume to wear around others. There is nothing to dislike here. In my opinion this would work well in formal settings, or otherwise. It’s not a very young persons fragrance but it is timeless and a classic, very pleasing and “alluring” choice.
    I would recommend this for someone who wants an all purpose perfume. Work, play, formal, dates etc. and I would say that the performance is great too. A little goes a long way and lasts throughout the day. Highly recommended in the male-marketed designer game.

    Recently bought this because I found the scent to be quite pleasant and quite popular, however, I’ve owned a bottle for about 3 months now, and I have to say the performance is utterly dire.
    I have to put on about 10 sprays before I can get anywhere near 3hrs of longevity, or any decent sillage.
    Anyway, it’s quite nice to smell and gathers it’s fair share of compliments, so an atomiser is a must with this one; although that means I’ll run out of my current bottle quite quickly.
    I’m quite disappointed to be honest, and considering how much these things cost I don’t think it’ll be worth shelling out more pennies for another bottle.

    Smell:
    This fragrance is the definition of metrosexual. A nice clean and sweet scent. The sweetness is not feminine or overpowering in comparison to 1 Million or Joop Homme; to me, it’s the perfect amount of sweetness.
    Longevity:
    I live in a climate that’s 30+ degrees Celsius. It lasts 2-3 hours; not sure if it’s a reformulation.
    Sillage:
    The sillage is average, nothing too overbearing.
    Occasion:
    This is a very versatile scent for all occasions.
    Age rating:
    18+
    Design:
    A simple classic Chanel bottle. By today’s standards the design would be considered ‘dated’.
    Would I buy this again:
    I might possibly always have one bottle in the house, for nostalgia purposes. It’s a scent that you would’ve smelled very often during the years 2000-2010.
    My final verdict:
    8.5/10
    It’s a scent that brings back memories. A modern classic scent that still doesn’t smell dated and to be used for all occasions.

    APH was my everyday spring/summer fragrance 1999-2001. Pleasant, elegant, not out to make a strong statement. Frequent compliments, I recall. A refreshing balance of woody/floral/sweet, a welcome alternative to the ubiquitous fresh aquatics of the day. Not sure why I never bought a second bottle. My winter frags at the time were Héritage de Guerlain and Shisedo Basala, both more classic styles of fougère, and I know that I enjoyed the contrasting modern, easy vibe of APH.

    If I had to sum up Chanel Allure Homme in a few short words it would be “Class in a bottle”. I absolutely love this stuff and have done ever since I first smelt it. What I love most is that it has so many ingredients that each time you wear it you feel like you can smell something different! This would be ideal as a signature scent because it works at any time of day, and almost all year round (maybe not so much in the hot weather, that is when the other Allure lines come into play!) It’s so versatile – work, casual, formal, dates, bars etc – This scent has you covered in all areas. My only gripe is that I wish the performance was slightly better. Definitely more of a close quarters scent after 1-2 hours, and it can last anywhere between 3-6 hours on me. An almost perfect 9.5/10.

    You’ve smelled this before even if you’ve never smelled this before. Husband wore this for our wedding, and it’s the only time he’s ever worn cologne. For that reason, it has a soft spot in my heart. It smells great, if not somewhat generic. I like my scents woodier, muskier, and mossier than this, on both myself and my dudes, but it’s a good office or first date scent. For some reason, these types of citrus/woody men’s fragrances really trigger headaches in me if used with a heavy hand. It’s the sharp orange opening that does it. If you use too much of this you’ll smell like Bath and Body Works Mahogany Teakwood room spray, and, well, that’s what I spray my bathroom with after somebody takes a poop, so that’s a purchase barrier for me, especially at this price point and the fact that it’s Chanel. There are more interesting Chanels out there. I like to wear men’s scents myself, in fact, I lean more towards masculine scents on the regular, and while this is “manly”, it could be worn or layered by a woman in small doses. SMALL. DOSES.

    I wore a full 50ml bottle as a teenager and decided to visit Allure again the other day. Well, what I can tell is that the current “reformulation” is not only stronger and longer lasting but also spicier and woodie
