Allure Homme
Allure Homme by Chanel is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 1999 in the premium price tier. It opens with mandarin, lemon and bergamot, moves into black pepper, cedarwood and clary sage and dries down to tonka bean, vanilla, vetiver and labdanum. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
