Allure Homme Edition Blanche by Chanel
For: men Designer: Chanel Olfactive Group: Oriental
!The new version of the famous men's fragrance Chanel Allure Homme is arriving as a luxury edition in a simple light-colored but elegant bottle. In the history of Chanel house color white has played a significant role.
This time the accent is put on the fragrance for men created by Jacques Polge as a 'diamond fragrance', what means that this is a fragrance with many facets, or to be precise, the strength of the fragrance is reappearing with the fragrant levels.
The first level brings spicy aromas of black pepper united with pink pepper from Madagascar. The second level brings in fresh aromas with the scent of leather, Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot, and sandalwood which gives it a depth.
The third level introduces oriental accords with Brazilian Tonka, white musk, Haiti vetiver and sandal wood. This level also reveals aromas of ginger and velvety vanilla wrapped in amber. The fourth level brings woodsy accords of cedar wood which add to the masculine character of this fragrance.
It is available since February 2008 and comes as 50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) and 100ml (3.4 fl.oz.) EDT and50ml (1.7 fl.oz.) and 100ml (3.4 fl.oz.) after shave.

I could not agree more with Maddyrain ☻ Allure Homme Edition Blanche really is nose punching with its full strength of lemon and bergamot.
IMHO, these are the only strong notes left apart from a mild vetiver and amber staying close to my skin. It is a very nice well-formulated scent but unfortunately, not for me ☻
I prefer Allure Homme Sport over this one. FYI, Allure Homme Edition Blanche is definitely a good summer fragrance ☻
Cheers,

Maybe I'll never be able to fully understand why so many people seem to love Allure Edition Blanche.
On my skin, Edition Blanche opens smelling like a lemon pie. Then the vetiver note together with the vanilla one come to stage and stay for quite some time. Anyway, vetiver is not one of my favorite ingredients. Sorry, Allure, but you're not for me.

I've discovered this amazing fragrance not long ago. I didn't like the original and Sport version..but this edition.. The purest elegance and a solid sexiness in a white bottle.Irresistible.It's a little bit expensive but worth it.

Just like a Chanel fashion show in Paris, all of the Allure's are related in some way. And this fragrance pushed the Allure line to new heights. Elegance and sport combined make this scent exceptional. Not many "citrus" scents also are malleable enough to seem upscale like this scent. Pure class.

this masterpice you should wear with white shirt, pants, in a beach, maybe Malibú.. love and be a little surprise how Chanel took on this.... Similar to Blv by Bulgari in the basenotes, but much, much, much better and sofisticade..

I love allure homme blanche. it's a very fresh scent with hints of citrus in the opening & shifts to a light woody-musky scent at mid to base note. the shift of scent notes is very subtle & at just the right strenght.it's a very balanced scent that makes it a very versatile scent IMO.
I was with my girlfriend & my sister when i bought this scent. I was taken away by its fragrance at first sniff & so were my gf & my sister. it's a very irresistable scent not just IMO, but so as my gf & my sister's opinion as well. so irresistable that i just had to get one right then & there.
it's yet another solid release by chanel a future classic. I believe that it's of limited release by chanel, so for those interested, go on get yourself one now while supply lasts.

Love it!, makes me somewhat hungry for candy. Kinda the way Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce makes me want to bite into fruit. It attacks the senses of taste more than smell. Very well done though. I blend this one with the Allure Homme Cologne.

As a big fan of citric scents, this one is just an adorable feat. No wonder, as Jaques Polge -this genius!- is the nose behind this, as well as most of the Chanel perfumes.
It's one of those rare scents that has no top/heart/base notes. It starts with lemon and ends the same, just a touch of spices also you feel in it, as well as a touch of vanilla.
The longevity is a bit low (considering my weak skin, which a scent usually might hardly remain on it), but yet one really cute nice scent.
I wonder why it's being categorized in oriental group, while I believe it could be placed in the citrus family.
And... this scent stands to be "A man for all season". :-)
Hope that Chanel does not cease producing it! ;-)

This one is well made BUT... I like it less than at first impression. I think it smell too much like pledge and the drydown is not enough woodsy-musky and emphasis is on the sour lemon with meringue, sad thing... Anyhow a good blend and original one. I like it.

actually i've started to like this one. it's very cheers, happymaker summer scent. it smells like shaving cream ( creammy vetiver & amber) - but in really good way - it put you in good mood. it's simillar to blv homme but this one is softer and easier to wear.
polo shirt+ white, loose trouser+ this scent = summer lounge :)

From Jacques Polge who is the genius behind much of the Chanel line plus Tiffany for Men. Homme Blanche is classy, elegant, and deliciously sensual.
The opening for Homme Blanche (HB) is lemon. There is very much a strong citrus essence when applied. However, the sensation is natural and pleasing. Think of slicing fresh, crisp, juicy, lemons for a pitcher of homemade lemonaid. I love citrus that is done well. It invigorates and makes me feel so very clean. The citrus in HB is exquisite and one to savor.
The notes pyramid indicates pepper in HB. However, it is very mild and not pronounced at all in this fragrance. The pepper as well as the cedar linger gently in the background. Some have commented that HB disappears but I think that may be a misinterpretation of what is really its transition to a gentler, warmer phase of development.
HB is like a parlor fireplace. The fire begins with intense flames then transitions to soft, glowing embers. There is romance is in the cozy warmth of the embers. HB evolves accordingly from an intense citrus opening to a much softer woods and light vanilla/tonka bean sweetness. The lemon fades into the background but a hint of it lingers through part of the dry down.
I wore this for the first time today and I've already received compliments. One lady asked to smell my neck not once but twice. Try HB. I think you'll be pleased.

Good! What a fragrance ... is incredible, with BLV Homme by Bvlgari and Hypnose Homme by Lancome fragrances are the 3 ... I have eclipsed, but the Chanel is the number 1 on this day.
I met thanks to a sample of the tester of Chanel Allure Homme Sport (EDT, gray metal pot) and I loved its smell, but disappointed me greatly because their poor durability was less than 2 hours and the initial scent was transformed into an common scent and almost imperceptible. Then I met the Allure Homme Sport Cologne (boat transparent) and I loved it, fresh and lasting fragrance (about 6-8 hours) and with very good fixation. And when I thought buy it, I got to try the Edition Blanche, which is a similar aroma with a touch more refined. I think that this fragrance is 10/10, plus his durability is also very good and has a proper projection (non invasive).

I'ts the best one I had and I want to have it again.

I couldn't imagine that I would really get lemons here, and I got. Vivid lemons, by the way. Although fine, I can't think it is great, and maybe I didn't find an occasion yet. Here I share the same opinion by da_markos.
Update: Hello BLV ... The notes are differents, but the feeling just after the first spray was very close, specially on the clothes. The Bvlgari BLV pour homme, at that moment, remembered this Chanel. I know, there are not lemons there, and there are not soapy here ...

Opening is citrusy, but not a sharp one, it is so soft and natural, than the soft woodsy note comes out. To me this is one is a masculine fragrance that has a sweetness that is perfectly balanced. It is not too sweet, but also not too harsh, it is just soft, longlasting and great. I love it!
08/03/09 07:39:08
in a nutshell - opening of allure sport + middle/base notes of allure homme. quite nice but nothing speciall for me. i don't like too much lemon top note of allure sport so i come with reserve to this fragrance.
07/31/09 03:05:36
I just got it as a present, and I love it! I'm an amateur, but I agree totally with sky76sky that it's "multifaceted yet homogenious, nothing off balance" - it has many levels, sandalwood on most of them, you can s-e-e the whiteness in top, then very fluent transition to leather+wood. For me personally, it could be a tiny bit less formal, but still, this is 95% of pure perfection :)

With Chanel, I believe men get the better deal....I know this will not be a popular view (I can hear the Chanel women sharpening their manicured claws) but if I count up the male & female Chanel fragrances I like, the bulk of them are in the male dept.
AHEB is a lovely, well-crafted, gentle citrus. The spice is added with a delicate touch, the vanilla is barely there, the woodsy notes are handled with care. It is not tart, nor sweet, but there is a warmth & light creaminess from the cedar/sandalwood/vanilla combo. It is multifaceted, yet homogenous. Nothing is off balance or overpowering in this creation. As vdxl says, it smells of real lemons - this scent is not synthetic in any way which shows its pedigree.
It is NOTHING like Chanel Allure, nor is it as full-on as sport versions.....it leans towards the sport, but we're talking cricket & lawn tennis, not surfing & base-jumping :)
Chanel female fragrances are great actresses, but I'd rather see a perfume's REAL personality (that said, they have made a few true classics & those ones speak volumes). AHEB's personality has the volume turned way down, so it whispers (not screams)laid-back class.
If it had shoes, it'd have well-used, well-kept, good quality, italian brown leather ones, hand-made in Milan.

A nicely done citrus-oriental. Lemon notes that smell like natural lemon, natural woody and vanilla notes. A masterpiece of 2008. Please don't ever discontinue this, Chanel.
04/26/09 15:31:12
this stuff rocks! It is very foody, a comforting yet manly blend of lemon and vanilla. And it lasts a long time too.
09/30/08 07:00:54
I prefer egoiste platinum which i think i'm gonna buy soon :-)
09/30/08 06:39:56
Good smelling fragrance, nothing special even if the people like this fragrance on me
09/21/08 06:25:36
Jaque Polge the creator is a genius (most Chanel Perfumes) and it is his best men's effort yet, I just tested it.
06/17/08 23:02:58
Very citrus, I guess Allure Sport is much better..but it still nice :)
04/12/08 02:12:05
smells like lemon juice. i think chanel allure homme sport is better, similar but not this simple.
03/30/08 10:36:44
FANTASTIC! my best perfume with Allure Homme Sport!
