This is decent. Not excellent but decent.
Very heavy on the lemon but also with a creamy type pastry vibe. Would be great for summer. Maybe some underlying spiciness??
Projection, longevity & sillage are all about average.
6.5/10
A beautiful, light cologne-like citrus fragrance. Very pleasing.
It does smell somewhat like lemon myringue pie but it's nothing to write home about in my opinion as a fragrance due to the subpar performance. It also leans feminine. It's ok.
3.5/5

Chanel's strict policy on letting sampler companies sell Chanel samples means I had to track down a sample on eBay for this. Well, after that effort, I finally give this a spritz...
...It's decent. It's just Allure Homme (which I think is a bit "mall" to begin with) with a fairly nice lemon accord at the top. I sort of get a lemon pie note, but depending on the fickleness of my nose, some days it comes off as a bathroom cleaner lemon. Not often, though. That quickly dries down to a fuzzy vetiver, then down to a mall scent.
I'd love to see a house like Comme des Garcons try out this idea, since I know they can do photorealistic accords. As it stands, Chanel did a decent enough job, but not "wow!" territory for me.
