Best from Allure line all the way.
This one is one of my favorite easy wear fragrances. I really love the contrast of the fresh/fruity notes with the darker/sweet notes. They seem expertly placed
Just got it. Crazy aroma. At first it threw me off but it’s true we need to overspray a little.
Aaron you are getting better and better at reviewing. I have been watching you for almost 2 years and the progress is amazing. Thank you so much for the reviews. If i ever visit England i will definitely go to Manchester and try your fragrances!
I'm so happy you've reviewed this masterpiece of a scent. Such a timeless, beautiful and classic one. The Allure line is in general super excellent. All top ones. Thank you Aaron.
Allure homme is my favourite from the entire allure line. Just wished it projects and last a little more without changing its scent at all.. it smells soo good…
I just love your personal journey and I want to say that you just make the world a better place. Thank you so much you beautiful person.
Excellent review Aaron. This one certainly is a very beautiful fragrance! This is the first time I sprayed some whilst watching your review to try and better understand what you were saying! Keep up the good work! P. S. I'm currently also enjoying getting to know Maverick! 😍
This was my 1999 scent. Truly Madly Deeply song with leather jacket and an ill advised polo neck. Pre Internet emails I used to send my Spanish sweetheart Allure Homme sprayed and in a letter. The sweetheart didn't even like Allure Homme she told me years later lol.
I loved your commentary at the opening. It really is buying into the perfumers brain or heart.
Thank you for the review! This is one of my favourite, not many people wear this since the popularity of the bleu, that’s a good thing. It’s very calming and uplifting. I hope they come out with a perfume version.
I think you’d enjoy Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir, it’s a warm, clam, spicy, cardamom. Dry down is something special.
A truly revealing insight into how the fragrance is constructed and why it's done that way. Insightful, informative, and fascinating. Puts other fragrance channels to shame
I would love an EDP. I hate to promote more flankers but I think allure deserves it
This was my first "proper" fragrance. When I don't know what to wear, this is what I pick up. I really enjoy the drydown of it on skin.
Same! My go-to always also. Simple to wear.
I love this review just as love all your other reviews. I love this fragrance even more now.
I love you and your reviews Aaron ❤
Camera and mic are fantastic. Can tell you've been investing to give great content. Love it. Review was great also 😂.
I stopped the time to enjoy the beauty of your reviews....A big thank you Aaron !
Love Allure. Spray clothes and you’re good to go. Great review Aaron, thank you!
I've yet to even sample this one, so your description of it is greatly appreciated. Keep it up.
I'm so glad I have found this channel. What an absolute gentleman.
I enjoy the Allure line. Allure was my signature scent in the early 00s. I really enjoyed the subsequent flankers that went more citrus and sporty. I would love for them to now start going darker and deeper with the dna.
One of my all time favorites. Wish they did a parfum of this. Just recieved Daddy and Onyx. Both stunners. Well done. Thanks for the content. Be safe.
Thanks for doing this one. As we know I'm not much of a citrusy or Chanel fan. But this was one I wore at uni so it's special. I'm not complaining cos it is what it is, but the reformulated newer version of this is a shadow of what it was, it used to have more depth, more of a richness and warmth about it. It is still nice now but it doesn't give me them feelings it did back in the day. And that peachy touch in there has practically gone now 😔 but it is what it is and things change
I could have swore you did this review earlier! Guess i was just curious if i thought right but whatever Very Nice Review Aaron!
Another great review Aaron , I have this is the sport extreme version .
Your take on this fragrance is a revelation. The flankers get most of the praise, yet I think this fragrance is fantastic, despite the minor performance issue. Your explanation of Chanel perfumery is also a fine contribution to fragcom.
i sprayed 3 times on my neck yesterday and another 3 on my shirt. It lasted 11 hours on my skin with mild projection. for London weather it's perfect this time of the year it was 4 degree Celsius and cold. I find the lasting power in the heat/summer is only 6 hours as the heat makes the fragrance jump off the skin. also smells better in the cold as it has warm amber/vanilla mandrin notes
As always , great video and really inspiring.
Nice review. Thanks, Aaron.
Enjoy your weekend.
This was one of the first fragrances I bought when I decided to update my perfume selection. I had a job interview lined up and felt what I had was good but a little narrow. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd end up falling in love with the art of fragrances and start a massive collection. It's so beautiful and you described it perfectly. It's a shame what IFRA does to these scents over time but I'm glad it still has that inspiring, blissful effect. One of my absolute favorites to wear in the fall when the sun is out and warm but there's a gentle, brisk breeze. I think I'll wear it right now. Thank you so much for all your hard work and passion, Aaron. It just occurred to me though, I wonder what would happen if I layered it with your Oud creation. Guess I'll find out! :D
Same, my collection isn’t massive by its racing towards 100
can you please tell me when its cold days does it works well? or is it for spring/summer days?
@@AppleGuy7 I actually prefer using it when it's colder in the fall and winter. It's not a powerhouse though so you'll need to adjust your sprays to how cold it is in your neck of the woods. If you're wearing this in an environmentally-controlled place like work or something, you can wear this all year easily.
@@Schatje79 I have got allure homme sport it cant project well in cold winter days, I just want to something with same vibe to wear in cold days, look like allure homme is good idea, right?
@@AppleGuy7 yeah, the sport flanker is best for warm weather. It needs more heat to shine. The original definitely works better for the cold but Homme and Homme Sport smell nothing alike so if you can, I would sample it first to make sure you like it.
The original version was a vanilla bomb. Really beautiful. Chanel has done a disservice to it by watering it down. Great review Aaron. Thank you.
this was my first designer fragrance, happy you like it Aaron.
What could Chanel have done to improve the performance without changing the overall smell and feel of the fragrance?
Another great video.
Thanks Aaron
This is such a fantastic channel. More content,
Please!
I own less than 20 fragrances and I will say with supreme confidence that this will always and forever be in my small collection…. The dry down is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This fragrance I spray usually about an hour before I go where I need to be.
Not even Chanel can make their fragrance as clean as Aaron's haircut
Great review. Find it difficult to move on from this fragrance, it's so good.
Your observation is right on the nose. It is absolutely an excellent every day fragrance. This was my signature sent in early to mid 2000. Goes very well with a suit. The ladies loved it. I just didn’t like the fact that it didn’t last very long. Maybe I did not overspray.
Aaron, I’ve got good idea for a video…
“Top 10/15/20 fragrances you wish was stronger or with better performance”
I think it would be interesting for viewers and also, if some brands are watching, also good for them too, because they can take some notice from this video and make improvements in their future projects. I hope so.
Thanks
This review is a perfect description of everything I like about this fragrance.
I’m curious if you preferred this one over the Allure Homme Blanche edition. I think lighter fragrances are great for a warm sunny day when you want to relax. Ozone is one of my personal favorites for those occasions, but it is much more long lasting.
Love this one! My bottle is about 15 years old, it’s dense, oily and incredibly macerated, it’s quite strong. I have about 50% left of 100mL. The liquid in my bottle is a light amber and I notice in new bottles it’s almost clear. I should sample a new bottle, I’m curious how newer batches smell compared to mine because it’s definitely not lite and airy.
new bottles still amazing but the older bottle sandalwood and coconut was more dense. and lasted a little longer on the skin. If i was you i would buy the new batch and only use the old stuff when going to special events
I knew you would give it a 9, because I was certain you would like the scent and find the price really good, but you would be disappointed in the performance, which is actually above average for an EDT, but very airy and soft.
Performance is a joke for the price, which is sadly the case with most chanels these days.
Aaron, please do a video on how to wear fragrance? Sure, many CZcamsrs have already done it, but no one else is a perfumer by trade!
I’d love to see your perspective on this! How do you spray and where? How do you decide how much to spray?
The original version performed like an absolute beast! I would easily get 24hrs performance out of it!
how times have changed
Allure homme is a beautiful cologne. Reviewers have left it in the dust, but this is great stuff
I was given a vintage bottle of this a few weeks ago for free and love it! I thanked the guy that gave it to me several times.
Hey Aaron! I appreciate you, brother
Good review chanel make superb mens fragrances I've never tried a bad one from chanel they're a house that has been pretty solid reliable for me
Chanel Allure Edition Blanche EDP is my favourite in this line, fantastic.
Hey Aaron : ) i Love your fragrence Reviews : )
Which fragrences in your Review is the Most hedionheavy fragrence ?
Thank you
Andy
Test it today woooow love it.I think it will be my signature from now😍
Nice review Aaron! Just curious between this and the Edition Blanche which one do you prefer?
awesome review!
I have what is probably one of the first bottles but the problem I’m having is there’s no batch number etched in
Looking good men, love your personality and talent! Stay True to yourself x
I got covid this week and I can't smell or taste anything...i got PDM herod, Xerjoff Naxos and amouage black iris samples and I can't smell them!!! 😑 life has no meaning, stay blessed aaron, and healthy!
Technical question that only you could answer, is there a way to tone down ambergris in the fragrance? I mean is there a specific note that if you spray on top of ambergris, it would be minimized? Or it is not possible at all?
How many ATH bottles do I have to buy to get free shipping in the USA??
Great review
Hi Aaron. What is your favorite day-off light fragrance?
Would you spray Carbon over or under this fragrance to aid in performance?
I would like to hear your opinion on allure sensuelle edp.
It’s the flanker of allure for woman from chanel.
Hey Fragrance Fam.....Would it be a good idea to layer this with Eccentric Molecules and if so which ones would you recommend to layer with this Chanel Fragrance ?
For The Fall / Winter & Spring / Summer
LOVE this and all the Chanel Mens line ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very safe scent.. I really like wearing it to the office on a cool day
Great review from beautiful house. I do believe Chanel needs to become risky and make a new men fragrance that will last longer. But still I love your criticism on this fragrance from Chanel.
Great review.
My highschool cologne in the early 2000s, ordered a vintage bottle a few weeks ago should be arriving any day now...
This was my first Chanel purchase, way back in 1999. It was a powerful EDT back then...used to linger for most of the day at work and I got lots of compliments. Perhaps it's been reformulated? My new bottle should arrive tomorrow. I guess that the Allure flankers steal the limelight these days, but I think there's something elegant and classy about the original.
the original is the best version the only version to come close is edition blance
My signature scent for a long time love it unfourtunately does not last on my skin (it frustrated me so much that I did not wear perfume for two years)
I agree, perfumery is an artform.from horrible to overwhelming beautiful. I was shocked when I heard about that some brands create formulations on a computer without smelling and creating it.
Love this one. I love all chanel fragrance
Checking in to class 🙋🏻♂️
I picked up a huge bottle of it and my only complaint is the performance. If it was more powerful I'd find it difficult to wear anything else.
the thumbnails are getting better
Would love to what kind of fragrances you reach for, and get a insight on your personal collection (outside of your own creations also).
Please make a review of egoiste/ platinum egoiste. All fragrance community evolves around allure/bleu & their flankers Chanel wise
After this review, I like my bottle even more!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. To me it’s not unique anymore and actually smells a bit like Axe Marin 🙈
I rather go with Egoiste Platinum from the house of CC.
What are some of the “day off” fragrances you wear? When I’m at home and want something easy to wear I know my wife and kids won’t fuss about, I typically wear Bleu de Chanel Parfum or Molecule 01. Excellent video as always, Aaron! Cheers!!!
Yves saint laurent l’homme
Please review Coromandel by Chanel. It lasts and projects. You will love it. It has a very slight very faint similarity to Onyx.
Enjoyed Bruh 💥
I think, but I’m going to have to go look now, if Aaron has reviewed Chanel’s Coromandel.
got it last week, made it my main home scent!
what is your top 5 cologne?
Another great review that helped make my mind up! I've been debating buying this but the vetiver had me apprehensive.
I was also concerned with longevity and silage as some chanel fragrances, they tend to be light. I have the same fleeting issues with allure homme sport, but not eau extreme. I have dry skin so fragrances tend to dissipate more quickly on me than others. Still would like to test it but probably will pass on ownership. Love the uncanny mind reading across seas!
On my skin the OG Allure Homme projects better and lasts longer than Allure Homme Sport but of course not as great as the Eau Exterme as that one is a beast when it comes to performance. However in terms of the scent alone, the OG Allure Homme is the best for me.
@@lettuce1305 I might still reconsider. Does the vetiver stand out or is it super noticeable like in hermes intense vetiver, or dior homme 2020? I cant stand vetiver, so when I see it in a fragrance, I'm instantly turned off by it, but I have fragrances with vetiver as a note that are blended so well it's unremarkable in scent. That for me is the biggest deal breaker.
@@patricklary81 i can't really detect vetiver, even if it's there it's hardly noticeable, at least to my nose. What I can say is even if there is a vetiver note it's not obvious like Terre D'Hermes, Guerlain Vetiver, and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver.
@@lettuce1305 ok I appreciate the info. That helps alot. Most of the cologne I buy, if from blimd purchases as I live in a small town and its 60 miles from the closest mall or department store that sells higher end fragrances.
@@patricklary81 late comment but I wouldn’t worry about the vetiver at all. I know what you mean. I’m not a big fan of vetiver either. Performance is not good at all though. Spray liberally
So sad ...i miss it a lot.... can't explain much, it was something like 1998,1999,2000, 2001, 2002.....my lovely signature scent...it was having a very good performance....cap was without ring
How would this one do with carbon lotion?
My signature scent! 🔥
Does Chanel Allure Homme have the creamy drydown that Edition Blanche and Eau extreme have?
Yes
Would love to hear your thoughts on Chanel - Le Lion
You definitely need to start reviewing Chanel exclusif line!!! same quality and nuance, but way more interesting scents, and much more complex than the designer line they have, also more risk taking than their designer offerings
I love this fragrance
Masterpiece
I think you should really, really try Égoïste and Antaeus by Chanel next. Égoïste is the only designer fragrance that's been intentionally made to smell torrid and sexual. It is also the favourite creation of Chanel perfumer Jacques Polge. And Antaeus is an animalic (it contains synthetic castoreum) leather fragrance done in a classic french, Chanel way. Similar to Kouros, but even better.
+1 for Égoïste.
A reviewer on Fragrantica described Antaeus as a threesome between Kouros, Drakkar Noir and Shalimar which I thought was quite funny and accurate. On the one hand it has that bold and aggressive opening but the projection of the dry down is clean and soapy, almost barbershop like, whereas close to the skin it’s dense, resinous, leathery and a bit sweet. I actually think the current formulation is office safe provided you allow 30mins to an hour for it to settle down first.
Egoiste I didn’t get at first; this isn’t a fragrance known for its great opening. Opens a bit sour. The drydown is delicious cinnamon and sandalwood.
@@EOTA564 I agree. Antaeus is quite wearable now after the opening. But the opening is my favourite part. Égoïste I couldn't get either. The opening has a majorly synthetic citronellol top note. But somewhere in the mid drydown is my favourite part, where it gets musky with some ambrette and a major carnation note.
Loved this when it first came out but, I dunno whether it's me or the scent, I don't love it anymore
I absolutely love this smell just wished it lasted on my skin def summer sign scent
Allure for me is the last pure and true Chanel style (for men), then they started to shoot to the market a lot of Allure that and that............, and become very "industrial", till today especially with Blue de Chanel for example. Allure is a real old school scent from this lovley house.
Allure edt has the best opening ever for me !!
Great review Aaron, I was underwhelmed by this from Chanel. Good no doubt, but cannot hold any weight towards Bleu De Chanel. I’d like to see & hear your thoughts on D&G The One Mysterious Night. A blend of rose & Oud sprinkled with saffron. Thank you, take care & stay well.
You think BDC is a better fragrance than this? In terms of scent profile, longevity or performance?
@@naleenaar5442 Yes, without a doubt. BDC EDP
@@justadudeintheworldman.120 I like BDC too, but I feel like it's too common now. Every single guy out there wears a blue frag and everyone almost wears Sauvage or BDC or Y EDP. Dont you think you don't stand out anymore or smell like the average Joe?
@@naleenaar5442 It’s been out for over a decade now so it’s going to be common but it’s a shelf staple for me. That being said Chanel needs to come with something new. I get they want to maintain the traditional French maison reputation they have, but with the pace and releases other houses are coming out with, they are at risk of falling behind and almost becoming boring. So yes, I completely understand what you mean.
