To me, this along with DHS are the best fragrances alimonadas designer market. Fantastic. Great quality, great performance on the skin, but I feel that something is missing. Recognize how good she is, so a thumbs up.

That's a wonderful take on citrus!! But it has nothing to do with Allure Homme. It's just plain lemony juice. Suitable for both men and woman. Average lasting power, sillage and projection.

Lemon done wrong. The lemon in Allure Homme Sport Cologne is too sour and invasive; its prominence clashes with everything else. Loud, annoying, and just when it finally starts to calm down, it's gone. Want a lemon soliflore? Try Monsieur Balmain or YSL Pour Homme.

Wonderful zippy, zesty, tart opening of grapefruit and citron juice. Love it! Stays quite linear from top to bottom, and lasts anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours on my skin depending on how liberal I am with the application. Keep in mind this fragrance is EDC strength and isn't meant to last a very long time. A fantastic choice for hot weather!

This stuff is terrible, and I feel terrible to say so because I love Chanel fragrances but this is not even close to as good as Allure Sport EDT. Too citrusy, and lacks many things, I dont even know where to begin. I have a 5 oz bottle as well if anyone wants to swap who likes this stuff!

Warm citrus, zesty, energising, uplifting, very mediterranean feel. One of the previous reviewers is right that it resembles Annick Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien, although IMO Sport Colonge has less herbal notes and more pure citruses (I like'em both!). Can be used together with La Prairie's Sea Energy body fragrance (another great citrus), makes an interesting combination - the latter lasts longer despite Sport Colonge's decent longevity. My wife finds Sport Cologne too sour and lemony but for me it's one of the faves.

When I first smell this fragrance it smells like lemon and grapefruit juice - its an Annick Goutal Hadrian clone for the first couple hours. Not quite as nice as Hadrian, not bad either but, boring. My biggest complaint is the citrus juice dominant first first hour or so. After it dries down the Allure elements start to emerge and blend with the light tart citrus. The Allure part of it is noticeable as a synthetic wood layered over tonka or vanilla with that crystaline musk gives it an ozonic sparkle. These same synthetic sweet wood notes seem common to all the Chanel Allures, Pour Monsieur Concentree and Platinum Egoiste as well. Allure Homme Sport is a Lemon Sorbet as it dries down! Actually smells quite nice if you could sneak up on the drydown without having to wade through the boring citrus opening. I like it sort of and give it a 7.5 / 10 for a cautious thumbs up.

I'm trying to figure out why there are so many negative reviews on this one? I will admit, this certainly isn't a great frag to my nose, but it certainly isn't obnoxious in any way. I do not get a lemon juice smell like others have noted. I do get a mixed citrus blast, mostly a lime/grapefruit. It smells very natural to me, but like most natural citrus frags, the citrus wears off quickly. What is left smells OK and somewhat synthetic, and certainly not fantastic to me anyways.

I definitely would never had considered purchasing this frag had it not been for the incredible feedback I received from the women in my office. For some reason, this frag got the highest feedback of about 50 frags I've tested over the past couple of months. There is a Neiman Marcus near my work. Every day at lunch I'd stop by and try on a pair of frags. I had tried this one three different times, and always got favorable remarks. It is also one of my wife's favorites on me too.

I've found this to have pretty decent longevity if I spray 4 or 5 times on the center of my chest at about 10" away from the bottle. I'm definitely giving this frag a thumbs up due to the positive feedback I get from it, and the decent longevity when sprayed heavily on one location. The silage is medium to low, even with a heavy application.

Absolutely repulsive! Literally smells as if someone grabbed a couple of lemons and squeezed them into a bottle. Even the sales associate as Macy's thought it was awful! From something with a name like Chanel, you'd expect something more refined and breath taking but that's certainly not the case here. Seriously, don't waste you time and money on this one unless you absolutely are okay with harsh citrus.
