Allure Homme (1999)
by Chanel

I like this and have a problem with Chanels in that that are not strong enough for my hide. Beautiful scent as most Chanels are, but on me they are vaporized inside an hour.

Citrus top is terrific and well blended, however, I don't get the pepper in the heart at all and the base is pleasant but not defined enough for me.

ONE OF THE BEST SCENT EVER.... MR POLGE DID IT AGAIN... THIS SCENT IS E L E G A N C E, AND VERY MASCULINE....... THE DRYDOWN IS UNIQUE AND IT LAST ALL DAY ON MY SKIN............ A PERFECT VANILLA SMELL..... SWEET AND WARM.... LOVE IT....... PERFECTION..............

For whatever strange reason, this scent reminds me of Cinema by YSL even though they don’t have notes in common. I think this would make a great scent on a woman. I don’t understand this on a man.

omg this is absolutely wonderful. im telling you it smells so rich in quality with a real rosy smell which is masculine and just so good. longetivity and sileage are great yet even with loads on you wont overpower and give headaches, just means more people can smell it from further away if thats the effect you desire. i get so many compliments wearing this and i definetly reccomend this amazing classic. not a huge fan on the sport, its nice yet i expected more and edition blanche is nice also but not really as good as the original in my opinion. for all you men looking to smell great, get this!! btw i reccomend about 18 above as young people wearing this might be too speical and not really suited to school and sports and stuff. a classic.

Probably a masterpiece but...!
Very diachronic smell and classy! perfectly blended throughout but...!
Thoose with allergies should probably try another brand.
Aldehydes,
(mainly flowerextracts, and Labdanum, can cause allergic reactions).
If you manage to stay along all to the drydown,
then you should consider very lucky!
Works very well with the ladies, (can it be the Labdanum in the drydown).
Well, its expensive and smells expensive, but i cant wear it anymore because thoose sparkling aldehydes and labdanum.
All the other ingridients works like glue.
If the aldehydes was subdued with say 30% and the Labdanum with 50% i guess the allergies should be considered gone, and still with that allure smell.
Or at least replace the Labdanum with a little bit of moss instead.
I hope you read this Chanel, then i will buy it again!

To me it seems like a mainstream fragrance rather than a refined Chanel. It's not repugnant, but not great either... I would expect more from Chanel. I also think it's a pretty sporty scent, so I don't see why Chanel felt like they should have another sporty version of this one. It's nice to wear on daytime, but I don't think that many would turn their heads when you'll pass them.
