great to wear in the gym or outdoor activities
Sometimes, my wife asks me to wear it on a date spring/summer night
suitable to wear in the gym or outdoor walking/hiking. Great for spring and summer
Really heavy on the Tonka bean...but that's alright with me. Now all of the Allure range use elements of the originals DNA but focusing in different areas. I think it's a credit to Chanel that they release such expertly blended flankers which don't really allow for criticism... they're just good! It must be the creamy combo of tonka, sandlewood and cedar or something that gives the Allure range in general its signature as well as the fruit/citrus in the top. Speaking of fruit... I didn't identify the mandarin note at first because it's against such an unfamiliar background (usually light & musky) You get fruit/citrus straight away but because of the Allure signature it makes you think of lemons (edition Blanche) it's only when I delved deep in that I got the orangey flavour and to me it's very pronounced and lasts long into the drydown. I know pepper is listed here but I don't get masses of it. Another note not listed is Amber to me an amber accord is present in the drydown. This is a well realized composition like all Chanel fragrances and especially the Allures. My favourite has to be the original but this is a close second and I love the summery, lemon meringue juice, that is Edition Blanche too.
