Chanel
Allure Homme EDT
“The original Chanel man — composed, balanced, still relevant after 25 years.”
The 1999 founding entry of Chanel's Allure Homme line — Jacques Polge's launch, the dressier-aromatic composition that anchored the line. Lemon and ginger at the top, settling on a vanilla-sandalwood drydown. Versatile across seasons, daytime-leaning.

- ●Sophisticated without trying — the anti-compliment-magnet
Trade-offs
