I haven't post here for a long time, there wasn't much good perfumes out there these days to sustain my interest so I have put this hobby aside for a while.
Besides Narciso Rodriguez (which is a great banana scent) I haven't smell anything good this year.
I went to the Chanel counter to try the Blanche edition of Allure Homme today - it wasn't what I expected. It is very muted, subtle and only contains a hint of resemblance to the original Allure. It is a "white" edition, and has a white pepper accord to it - just like Bulgari pour homme - very close to the skin, you can bearly smell it if you spray the sport version on one wrist and this on the other wrist and compare them.
Allure Sport is the original minus the oriental spicy notes but has the same drydown. This Blanche edition is totally different. Its actually fresher than the sport one - less sweet and has an effervescence fizzy effect. Its less romantic, more urban - longevity wise, it is the weakest (but better than the cologne version).
It doesn't have that sweet vanilla signature of Allure in the drydown - that's my only complaint.
I bought a bottle - thinking its more discreet and subtle than the sport and original Allure, then I have second thought - I went back to exchange for the Sport one but it is out of stock! The SA told me she will call me when they have new stocks coming in...
Does anyone like this Blanche edition?
