Sandalwood note in this is really nice. Redundant if you already own the original though. I see it as a cash grab for Chanel and really kind of irritates me that we got this before a new BDC flanker. Just make a BDC Elixir or a completely new line Chanel…. Thanks
Why do I have this in my heavily curated collection?
The reason is purely functionality. It's because I needed an easy reach, easing going, great smelling scent I can wear while being active in the daytime outdoors/during events/lessons/sport or whatever. I love the heady scents. But, sometimes I just want an easy spritz.
Superleggera smells exceptionally good in a modernized generic sort of way. Let's take Allure DNA, freshen it up and update it with modern woody materials and clean white musks. It's Chanel, so it's done to perfection. Everything is perfectly placed and it's never too much or loud and obnoxious. Living up to its namesakeSuperleggera is light and airy with a little masculine edge. The scent is sharp, citrus fresh for about an hour, then moves onto the translucent woods and ambery patchouli musk. It is here that it leaves the sport realm and dives into elegance.
