Reviews of Allure Homme Edition Blanche (2008)
by Chanel

LOOOOVE this frag!!!most definetely one of the best summer or good weather scents ever.
as others have statet starts of very lemony, almost like frsh grinded lemon skin (which is a good thing as i love lemon), and cools down to a lovely fruity-fresh combination of lemon and vanilla.
i cant really detect some of the notes but sandalwood, bergamot and tonka i do smell and they round this scent of amzingly.
even sillage and longevity suprised me, while trying a single shot on one wrist i could smell it distintively for hours and hours.even got a whiff of it after a night.
defineetely a thumbs up, gets a 10/10 from me.

very impressed with Chanel's take on this one.....not a big fan of lemon, but loved the lemon here.....because it wasnt tart but creamy and pleasant with vetiver accords developing within 20 minutes or so....it is quite pleasant and fresh but with an oustanding creamy/vetiver edge to its tartness giving it a beautiful balance and even....Complexity.

meraviglioso !!! sicilian lemon is wonderful...like a travelling in the village near mediterrian.. u can choose allure homme sport but i like this fragrance..maybe i like this parfume bcs of a lemon ; lemon is dominant in it.i can feel the ginger and white musk but anothers not..i search for brazilian tonka but i cant get it maybe my nose is bad...

To picture Edition Blanche, take Homme Sport, strip a few of the notes out and replace with similar - but not the same - notes. I'd say Blanche is about 80% of Sport. Whereas the top of Sport is a creamy neroli/lemon, Blanche loses the creaminess and the neroli, replaced by grapefruit and light pepper notes. It is not entirely unlike Terre d'Hermes, though not quite as sharp. The top takes a while to fade, and in all honesty EB loses most of its ooomph once it does. The base of light musk and sandalwood is subtle, and unless you really spray it on, barely detectable. They call this 'EDT Concentree'.... Chanel should have just made the investment in perfume oil to make it an EDP. If they had done this, EB would be more competitive in the marketplace.

I'm very much enjoying this on the ridiculously hot days we have here in Texas. Thumbs up for being a fantastic fresh summer scent, but I will note my disappointment in its lack of longevity.

This one took a while to grow on me, but now, it's my favourite of the Allure lot. IMO, I like it much better than Sport. It seems a bit better rounded and I like the progression a bit better - esp. the mix of leather and vanilla.

Well Done. Recommended.

Fresh, in a lemony citrussy way, then becomes slightly sweeter with some sandalwood in there. This is in a smooth and characterful way unlike the Cologne Sport which I find too straight-up lemony and too linear. The development then goes in the way of a very nice musky and incence-like note, to my nose. This has one of the most beautiful drydowns ever, hours after spraying it there is a hint of it, ever so subtle. I wouldn't say this is better than the original Allure Home Sport as I think that is a great anyime scent but this, for me anyway, is a daytime or office scent. Sillage is on the subtle side but is long-lived. Overall a mediterranean, barber-shop effect witha modern urban 'man-about-town' feel. You'll probably like it if you like Armani Eau Pour Homme and the original Allure Sport as this retains some similar notes.

This smells to me like what Allure should have been. I was never a fan of allure, I certainly can say I am a fan of this one. It smells citrussy, sweet powdery (do I detect some Lavender?), and while I do not get leather, I do not find the harshness or blandness that find when I wear the regular version of Allure. It would not be a crime if Chanel would replace their main offering with this flanker!

Not really a great fan of Chanel fragrances for men --- up to now! This starts very lemony, but gradually dries down to a soft wood & vanilla with the sicilian lemon still hanging on. Must admit I don't get all the notes listed, especially the ginger and amber. It's a work of art though and I really love it.

Shortly, the most beautiful Chanel what I felt once!!! His indescribable fineness is charmed prompt. I am the prisoner of this fragrance.

what can i see about this the god of all puerfumes i have purchased and till now nothing really smell like or better then this sexy thing i did try all allure line and manyyyyyy branded purfumes i dont have a word to explain what it did to me. its not a limited edition i have visited chanel webside and there was nothing like this. beside the smell u r waering chanel be proud bors u have to buy one thanks sorry for bad english

Like others I believe this is the best ALLURE to date. The opening is quite lemony, then it moves on to a Bulgari ph rendition...slightly dark earthy woods. This hangs for a while before it nicely transitions to Mugler Cologne in the dry down. It is just awesome. Well worth the price.

For once an Allure variation worth the trouble. This is nice and fresh, a little sweeter and more powdery than the earlier versions. It wears well, with decent longevity and sillage. I don't get much leather in this, though.

In my opinion, this is the best of all the Allure variations to date. It is a shame that this is a limited edition, If Chanel made this a regular offering, it would probably sell very well. I have only owned Edition Blanche for about two weeks, and I have already received compliments when I wearing it. EB starts off a bit of citrus and then presents a nice variation on the original. If you like any of the other Allure variations, I think you will love this one. Give it a try, but hurry.
