Allure (for women)

Cherub573

I wore this fragrance in my late teens. I thought it was a sophisticated floral. Just a tad sweet, but not fruity or sugary in any way. It has extraordinary staying power (think all day) and sillage.

In fact, part of the reason I had to give away my bottle was because even misting and walking through one spray of the perfume was too much for my nose. It's the only Chanel fragrance I've worn for any amount of time because they all smell too strong to me and induce headaches.

I've heard that the word 'allure' is used in France to describe a woman of strong personality, who catches attention, but isn't always a long-legged beauty. And the fragrance was made for a woman like this: extraordinarily elegant, nimble cosmopolitan with a sensual, feminine charm.

The bottle was designed by Jacques Helleu and is almost as ascetic as Chanel No 5 bottle.

again it comes to a chanel perfume;the most famous house in the world and the less favorite of mine!
by the way it's chanel and it's obvious because of the special signature of all chanel perfumes.
it's sweet and classic.personally I can't smell all of the notes listed here.I just smell strong floral notes;peony,lily of the valley and magnolia.but there isn't any ylang-ylang,because I don't smell that kind of sharp floral scents in this one.
I can summarize the smelling in two words:"floral" and "sweet".
it's less sharper than most of chanel perfumes,but still it has strong notes that I can't take for a long time,but I should confess that it's less overwhelming than allure sensuelle.
by the way I don't understand people who pay lots of money to buy an average perfume like this!you can always find a head-ache bottle for a lower price!

I think it's a night perfume and for mature woman firstly. Its rich, long lasting and a little bitter. It's a best present for moms and grannies.

This fragrance defines a decade. I used to love the warm, ambre-vanilla scent, but now I fnd it ...well, very vanilla: a bit boring. It is still a lovely scent, if a little sweet, but too many people wore it too often & it became a background to the late 90's, & not a signature showstopper. It suited my moodat that time in my life - flirty, young, pleasant, but didn't really know what I wanted yet. I grew up, it didn't...I waved goodbye.

My adorable Chanel.I like Citrus+Vanila and so famous base notes rose+jasmine. It's suitable almost everywhere and extremely beautifull in the rain. Allure is loved by men and women often ask me the name, when they smell the gorgeous trail of me. It's longlasting and makes you feel stylish, elegant and sexy...

Allure is a very nice floral, elegant and has this appealing to everybody nature. It doesn't stand out, just like its bottle - simple, elegant, without screaming - oh, i'm so expensive and fancy.
Personally, i prefer Allure Sensuelle, it's got more character in it, but i wouldn't mind buying Allure one day either.

Very delicious, very classy but GOD everyone was wearing it when it first came out. However, even after smelling it on every street corner for two years it still turns my head when I smell it now. It's very good and as someone said "intelligent", I'd agree with that. Anyone can wear it but it's probably best if you're over 28.

I am loving allure right now.I got a sample & it is very spicy & warm after about an hour it gets even yummier.I do smell vanilla.

I also smell class. I had a VERY classy aunt when I was younger. I don't think she wore this but it reminds me of her. (she passed years ago)

I always known Chanel and other legendary houses are not for me, but still decided to try this perfume once more. I shouldn’t have, because I have headache now, but I understood what it reminds me. It’s smell of patrol and flowers.

I cannot share the positive attitude towards Allure. For me, it is a disappointing, boring fragrance. Too cool and detached, expensive and dull.
Probably aimed at rich business women who want to feel secure by purchasing a famous brand, but where is the fun in this smell?

kori_an

Rich, warm oriental scent,sensual and feminine,elegant and passional...all in one.

Like "sneza" for many years I was not at all enticed by Chanel fragrances, but Chance and Allure are wonderful. Allure dries down to a scent with warmth but not to heady and sweet. It makes me feel elegant and confident. On me it is long lasting, too.

model_wannabe

i like edp better. it-s very strong at first, fresh but after a couple of minutes it turns into a warms nice smell, i think it's vanilla

…sad because of ''No 5'' I was ''running away'' for years from Chanell, and then the friday, the cloudy and rainy friday mixed it up with the smel of my wet skin and he developed into a worm, sensual, optimistic parfume which I couldn't not to wish. Entering in, all wet in my house I ''brought'' the smell of prefine elegance and bravery, and my room smelt the whole night like him. Tomorrow, Aluure was a present given to me by my housband….

Elegant, feminine, adorable. It doesn't smell like any other perfume, I can recognize it immediately.

When my girlfriend, which like sport dress, has short hair, not like make up, smells Allure, in my eyes she changed in to beautiful, full charm princess. Sometime I used to this sweet, elegant perfume, and then, I felt, that people sees somebody exceptional in me. Unfortunately, later from Allure ached my head. Big damage, because it is as fairy flute: all want to hurry for this smell, very femine song.

I have this, but I think I will be giving it away.. Not my style.

Allure is lives up to its name--and more. It's definitely alluring, elegant, feminine, and beautiful. It is definitely one of a kind. For me, it is a comfort scent. Sometimes I wear it on casual days, but I think it is especially a great choice for special occasions. Such a romantic fragrance that lasts and is worth every penny!

wildflower

Another weird thing is, that in some days, this smells very sweet and kind of fruity on my skin. Other days it is strong, floral, and clean, not that sweet..

wildflower

For me, this goes also at summer. Especially here in finland, now that it has been raining almoust every day and temperature is about +15c - +20c

melozberk

Only for special days and winter time for me. Sometimes I find it too much strong but still can not help enjoying the sweet warmness. Stylish and inviting at the same time.

Aiona

A bottle of Allure (Eau de Toilette) was given to me by my mom, whom I love dearly, but who has a completely different nose from mine! She likes this scent! I, on the otherhand, find it way too floral for my liking. I get a headache from one spritz of it. I know so many people love this scent, and I'm sure it smells great on them, but I'll leave it to them to wear it.

Just an update - I have got this perfume last week and I got so addicted that I kept wearing it (very unusual for me - to wear the same thing every day). Outstanding fragrance.

zoka

Allure is scent of one of my best friends. When I feel it in the air I look around is she somewhere close.

It goes with style, elegance, intelligence ...

I have to confess I did not use much Chanel in my life. I am a fan of Guerlain mostly. So, paasing by the cosmetic department I said to myself I had to try one, so Allure was the closest to my hand. I splashed it on me and Hello! simply loved it! i couldn't stop smelling myself all day. The description is right, at first a little citrusy and then it develops so nice, so warm. Guess what my next purchase will be?
