Chanel
Allure Sensuelle EDP
“Amber candlelight on a cool autumn evening — warm, unhurried, irresistible.”
The denser, warmer 2005 entry in Chanel's Allure line — Jacques Polge's launch, a patchouli-rose-vanilla composition tuned toward winter evenings. Patchouli and pink pepper at the top, a rose heart, settling on a patchouli-vanilla drydown. A fall and winter evening fragrance.
