Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme Chanel for men

I absolutely love the original but this isn't even in the same league. they overdid the tonka bean note and mixes with the citrus to give this a play-dough like smell. don't get me wrong its nice in the beginning but after about 2.5 hours you smell like you were attacked by a toddler who threw tons of play-dough at you. the tonka is far to strong

Improved version of original Chanel Allure Sport.
Good longevity and sillage.
Great compliments.

It's basically the winter version of Allure Homme Sport, and that's not a bad thing. I personally like this better than AHS. If one saw my collection, most of what I'm drawn to are darker wintery scents, simply because I find them more interesting, so for my purposes AHSEE is the perfect sumer scent. It has great longevity (I get over 12 hours personally) with average to slightly above average sillage. The warm, sweet tonka note that dominates the drydown makes this scent totally viable as a fall, and even winter fragrance while the citrus opening and overall freshness of this gives it the "Sport" moniker, making it a good summer scent. I'm as surprised as anybody to find a "Sport" scent that works for all four seasons for me, but this is it. AHSEE has become one of my workhorse fragrances for its versatility and its overall quality. I highly recommend it. 9/10

Well, I think this one should be classified as a gourmand perfume. It has a "Sport" in its name, however it's a quite heavy one.

It opens with a blast of mint-freshness and, I admit, I thought it'll be really fresh. But obviously it's not. Later on it's getting citrusy, to my nose simillar to Allure Homme Sport. This whole "stuff" last about 3 hours. And then... It shows its "real face" on my skin. I get a feeling like my skin is covered with tonka syrup. Whole lot of tonka bean.

Unfortunately, I can rarely smell the pepper note...

All in all I like it, it's not a bad perfume. To me, it's a lot better than Allure Sport, maybe on the same level(or a little worse than) as Allure Edition Blanche.

It's a projection and longevity monster on my skin. I easily get 10 hours from it (with decent application), it's projection and sillage are impressive...

I guess it possibly could be a whole-year-round perfume, but to me it better fits fall and winter.

Generally I liked it and I think this one is worth to be in my collection.

After spending more time with this fragrance. I found this to be my favourite Chanel fragrance for a night out. It's really sweet, and pretty strong. I keep getting more and more compliments. Have not had a bad experience yet. Other than I still think it smells like baby powder on my shirt.

It is good , longevity is about 2+ hours or something.It has a nice calming effect , you may feel like lying on bed for some more moments if you were already lying.I know this seems otherwise , because it is labelled sport fragrance.
It will remind you also of soaps and soapiness which lurks in it.You must have smelled , soap bubbles and soap foam , this is what it reminds me of.
You may think that you could be able to smell something like this in much less price tag which is a let down point for this.All in all , a fresh , somewhat different than other mainstream fragrances/smells we have been smelling a lot quite lately.

I have a sample of this fragrance and decide to give it a try although sport type of fragrance is usually not my cup of tea. My writing is by no mean a fair review of this fragrance as I have it on my skin for only about 40 minutes; however, the whole time I can only think of double mint tooth paste, extra cool sport rub, tiger balm and some Chinese/Asian camphor based medicine oil. So I can't help but ask myself do I really want to pay so much to smell like any of these?

Fino y delicioso! Esperaba algo mas original, pero me gusto bastante este perfume. No es para mi, no es juvenil. Aunque es "sport", es mas clase que casual.

damn it and go fo Edition Blanche.though it is not a dissappoint

unisex, this what women can also use

I think it is lacking something. Not bad and very resemblant to the original, but I think they could have worked more on the drydown to smell more refined than this sweet and sour result. I will have to try it again on warmer days to see if something happens. A bit disappointed. It is very wearable however.

It smells just like cheap minty bubble gum...
Go for Allure homme édition blanche, much much better!

Here is a short and updated review.

I am rediscovering all of my fragrances now, because I simply refuse to spend any more money until they are gone. The Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme just has an equally refreshing and pleasant overall scent. It has not been one of my go to fragrances, but that will change. I don't consider this fragrance to be daring. It's just a very clean aromatic blend.

I test it the other day in an airport duty free, and I like it but didnt purchase it, becouse I think there are better fragances outhere that I really like more than this, Still a solid fragance like everything from chanel. Smell wise its a grown up allure sport, sweeter and nice.

I hate this tonka bean odor they all use it the last 1-2 years in their perfumes...this is the same more or less with the original but more creamy and powdery.

An update for my review: simply the more i wear it, the more i love it, really, totally stunning, to me and others.. comfortable, manly, sexy, versatile, nothing avantgarde in smell but really charming and lovely!

First off, this scent gets way too much hate because of two reasons.

Reason 1: The name doesn't describe what the scent really is. This isn't a sporty fragrance. Allure homme sport is more of a sporty fragrance. This isn't.

Reason 2: It is perhaps too close to other allure scents (a mix of allure pour homme and AHS), so it isn't a necessary purchase if you have those two Chanel fragrances.

That being said, this stuff is awesome. This is my favorite in the allure series, and one of my favorites of all time. It gets compliments (university women dig this stuff) and it has good lasting power. I have dry, fair skin and usually scents are gone within a couple of hours. Not eau extreme, I get around 8 hours with this stuff, and about 4 hours with decent (arms length or maybe a little more) projection.

Try before you buy, as always, but I HIGHLY recommend this scent. Ignore the name and judge this based on it's scent people!

I was curious to try this after reading the reviews, I chose to buy this rather than the original AHS as I am not crazy for sharp citrus heavy frags. I have Bleu and that seems to be ok and quite smooth, nothing exceptional but long lasting for summer. I wanted to try this one as I was curous about it. Sampled it the other day and I am impressed. I do not find it to be too sweet but just right. I get citrus fruit at the start and then it tones down into a smoother creamier fragrance. In the drydown I can still detect citrus but a very smooth balmy citrus which is very pleasant. A lot of people have said that this can be worn in winter due to it's sweetness. I beg to differ as I do not think this has the bravado to stand out as well as some of my other winter favorites. I think Summer,Spring and Autumn are suitable for this but definitely not a cold winter like we get here in Scotland. I think he longevity and sillage of AHSEE is excellent. Just what I was looking for in a warmer weather season

To Nanodae, a friend of mine also like the whole Allure pour Homme line. They seems to get some feminine vibe when she wears them, and sometimes I cannot guess what she is wearing that being exactly what I am also wearing. I think our own skin chages a scent quite a bit.

I'm a female but in love with this scent. I prefer masculine scents over feminine. It boosts confidence, isn't too strong as long as you spray a small amount, affordable and overall a good fragrance (:

I see that many people tend to hate this fragrance just because it's been marketed as "sport". Yes it does have the allure vibe in it and it reminds me of the original AHS, but it is NOT in any way sporty. However, this juice may have the wrong name but it is absolutely gorgeus. It smells like a sweet orange pie. It is very VERY balmy and creamy with a jellyish orange vibe dominating as the sweetener. It's just a little spicy and mint I do not detect at all.

Yes, this might not be groundbreaking, but it is very pleasing; something I would wear daily just to smell good but not to impress someone. However what I think makes this one special is because of the beautiful sweetened orange note. This is as sweet as le male or LL au masculin BUT it still preserves it's masculinity and mature vibe. This would certainly suit a man aged 35-50. Le male is something you smell among the teenagers and it would be a farce if someone over 30 would use it. AHS eau extreme however is in the same category but is much much more classy.

Definitely recomended, just ignore the bottle; the juice inside is top quality, as expected from Chanel. Also Longevity and sillage are way beyond average.

It's great as all Allure line. Channel hardly disappoints. But in my opinion there's nothing extreme here. It's balmy and more sweet than regular Allure Sport. I'd stay with the regular one if i had to choose. Actually this is a great flanker anyway that deserves a try at least.

It smells pleasant enough for me in short bursts but the trouble with actually wearing it is that I find it too sweet, too creamy. I could see it for someone else, but for me I would want more spice or smokiness to balance out all that sweetness. It's funny because it's like I love it and hate it at the same time. I almost bought it the first time I smelled it, but I hesitated and the sales associate at Sephora offered me a sample of it. After wearing it several times, and now even several months later, I seem to go back and forth between being enchanted by it and made queasy by it. It's the strangest thing.

They weren't joking when they put "EXTREME" on the bottle in all caps.

It's funny people would complain about the strength of this fragrance when it says EXTREME on the bottle.

It is definitely EXTREME. Even 3 days later. The room you were in when you applied it and every room you've visited since then will be Allure EXTREME'd for days.

This isn't a bad thing if you're like me and you like tonka beans and musk. The citrus/mint/cypress opening only lasts a couple minutes, unfortunately.

93/100

Not seeing the "Code" comparisons at all, it smells NOTHING like any of the Code range. This dries down into a wonderfully classy scent. I'm a fan of the original Sport and this is a lot sweeter but it takes a lot of the sharper elements out and are replaced with softer, more mature elements. All in a fantastic scent with great projection and longevity.

Pleasing but nothing groundbreaking. Smells like CH212 sexy men minus the sweat note. This is a sweet, grown up mans scent.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme is beautiful. Exactly what a modern cologne should be.

Opening: Citrusy notes blend wonderfully with a minty musky smell right off the bat. Delicious.

Sillage: Excellent. It projects just the right amount to leave that wafting hint you might get walking past someone in an elevator. 2-3 feet, 3-4 hours for me.

Longevity: Very good. Lasts for hours and hours, still noticable for about 12-16 hours. I would say its very similar to Code in both projection and staying power.

Gripes: Miscategorized. Its not sport at all, its got very deep and long lasting smell. The citrus notes are understated. Can be cloying if oversprayed, other than that, meh.

Best for: A night out at a club or bar or wherever. Its projection is best in a crowd of people because its so sweet and bold, and it will last all night. Best in the fall or winter I would say.

Overall: Color me impressed. I love it. It hits all the right blends of sweetness and muskyness. Like the colognes my dad wore, its bold and rich, but its not overwhelming like his were :) Very modern, very masculine, totally worth a buy.

9/10

it projects well an it doesn't smell bad ... the more i wear it the less i like it (probably because i wore on hot summer days), i bought more cause of the chanel name, it smells nice and unoffensive so i wear it to work

The projection of this in insane.... six hours after application a co-worker said 'wow, thats alot of cologne' from about five feet away - i only put on two sprays

Very sweet. So much tonka bean that it almost treads into Le Male territory. I'm not a fan of sweet scents, so this really isn't for me.

Another thing worth noting - Allure Homme Sport has definitely been reformulated. I first wore it like five years ago and it smells a lot sweeter and more powdery. Such a shame.

Wow, I tried the original Allure the night before and it lasted way into the next morning even after a shower. So I figured I would go back smell it again and buy it. Nope, I tried the allure sport extreme and that was it, bought the big bottle right on the spot. It has a smell all its own, its not the original AHS or Blanche (thank goodness), this one has a soft open with all the cream smell of the original and then goes into the tonka bean with soft clean woody notes. This is a great anytime frag, I love it not overpowering but smells really sexy on the skin. I want to see how it holds up in the winter months ahead with the pepper and musk in it.
Thumbs Up for this one.

I found it perfect to wear this fragrance this fall since its way to sweet for hot weather. This fragrance lasts and projects more than AHS. The tonkabean is prominent through out my entire time wearing this. Its a really pleasant smelling fragrance that the ladies adore, espcialy when they catch a wiff of it on your shirt. My girl likes this. Sweet and inoffensive. As for my time wearing it? I agree with many here, its nothing new or even interesting. I prefer the less uninteresting Bleu.

Really nice scent, but not for hot days in summer, it's much better in fall and winter.. very sweet and intensive. longevity about 12 hours, I get a compliment for it after 10 hours I applied it :) it's funny how people are stupid and brainwashed by many commercials.. I freaked out when someone says: this is great for spray it when you are going in gym, or running etc... wtf?? because of this "sport" in his name?? no, this definitelly is not sporty scent.. I think it is suitable for wearing it for some romantic occasions or a date.. :)

Its the best fragrance i've had. Its fresh and lasted for 6 hrs on me. Its fresh and good for hot climate country like Brunei.

Eau Extreme is a powdery, minty, vanillic fragrance reminiscent of JPG Le Male or perhaps Prada Amber. It's not a bad fragrance by any means, but I don't like it. It smells nothing like Homme Sport on my skin, nor is it "sporty." It's closer to the original Allure Homme in composition.

I would NOT recommend that Eau Exreme be worn in hot weather. It's just too powdery and vanillic for that type of setting, IMO.

Try it if you're a fan of Allure Homme or Allure Homme Sport, but I'll pass on this one.

This fragrance is the bomb. Long lasting. Smells great.

I love all ALLURES. Bravo CHANEL.

Beautiful fragrance. It's so classy. Projects well but does not over power or offend.

I wouldn't wear this at the gym or for working out even though it's called a "sport" frag. It is just too strong and sweet for that in my opinion.

I prefer it has a casual scent for grad school classes, work, or a quite evening out. For me, this is perfect for spring, cooler summer days, and early to mid fall.

they are different but both are good in adifferent way. i don´t considered the allure eau extreme a sport fragrance

Is it just me or is this one better than Allure Homme Sport?

extremely dangerous fragance sports, all my work-mates want it they want buy this spice and good cologne fragance very very soon.

Rating:
Longevity: 8/10
Projection: 8/10
Scent: 9/10 (for a sport scent)
Overall: 8.5/10

own a bottle of this juice, nothing exceptional, a stronger version of Allure to me,skin scent low projection,nice smelling,no mileage....

Clean, pleasant, inviting, and smooth. Just a pleasure to wear. It just makes me smile whenever I wear Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme because of its aroma therapy properties.

Like it or not no one can deny the fact that this projects like a MONSTER. I hope my other colognes project like this.

SCENT: 8/10
PROJECTION : 10/10

my friend from work wore this today.....let me tell you, he uses like one spray on his neck and 1 spray on the wrist & dabs them together..this stuff had excellent projection, great sillage (the smelled lingered for a few minutes after he left the room)and I smelled it on him for the 5 hrs i was with him.....to bad I'm not a fan of the scent

Off the bat it is citrus/tonka bean.

Then it fades to tonka mainly and stays that way for a long time.

That's the main note and the other notes you have to find so basically, this just smells like tonka which smells a slight less concentrated than cocoa butter. This is not a fragrance that I would reach for daily, but for occasions with older folks or lots of people at a night gathering.

This would work well if you go to events for school or with a group of a few friends.

I bought this yesterday just to see how it goes and in comparison with the original AHS.
The perfumes are more or less, brothers. The one is more citrus/orange, the other more gourmand/warm but you cant miss the similarities. Personally, i think I prefer the EE but as i find AHS a little bit harsh.
I would say that if you have the one, you do not necessarily need the other.
What i would like to say is that Chanel the last years is not taking the ball further, is playing between their perfumes and they are not releasing anything new, original or groundbraking. They are just making perfume that smell like hundreds of others. Blue and EE are a mix of some older perfumes but we can see that they succeed and bring money to the headspring, this is what they want although I do not agree....but money is what counts and not individual opinios or perfumes for the few. We have so many perfumes now and the market goes towards sweet/citrus/vanillic as most of us, prefer those type of perfumes. You do noe find fahrenheit releases now or Ecre noir....the mainstream companies do not want to risk and if someone wants these type of perfumes, he has to go to a niche brand. Chanel is producing quality, high standard perfumes but not uniqueness....The best from their line is still platinum for me. But i like EE because it gives you a wave of freshness and depth....it has a light soapy vibe that i like a lot, being fun of acqua di parma...

I already owned Allure Homme Sport (AHS), but due to curiosity, I bought this Eau Extreme (EE) version in 50ml just today.

I sprayed the EE on my left wrist, & my favorite AHS on my right wrist. Both of them were quite similar at the very beginning, in which EE started with strong alcohol, citrus, mint, vanilla, but the citrus seemed fade away very shortly.

When it dried down, the pepper & tonka bean came out obviously, and I found EE was sweeter than the AHS.

To me, I still think AHS could give me the feel of elegance, but EE couldn't, instead EE only give me a fresh and sweet scene, which is more general, nothing special feeling...not unique at all

IMO, EE is a combination of the AHS & the original Allure Homme (AH), which takes the fresh citrus from the AHS & the base note tonka bean from AH, so if you already have either one of AHS / AH, you probably could pass on this EE, unless you are a super fan of Chanel house...

Awesome! Great smell.

If you feel like smelling like Playdoh, put this on

This shouldn't be called 'sport'. This is more like a cologne you'd wear when you go out to dinner on summer night

Got it a week ago, and after testing it i can say that this is less "Sport" than Antaeus! Smell like the original AHS only 3min (literally) and then a huge blast of tonka remind me a lot of Armani Code (i'm not saying that they wanted to copy/paste one of the most hyped fragrances at the moment...) After three hours changes to a very powdery vanilla/musk/whatever combo very much like the last hours of YSL La Nuit de l'homme, wich is in no way related to any sport (unless maybe a snow sport, but NEVER to surf like the advertising video makes you think!). Conclussion: This is more like "LA NUIT DE ALLURE" (?!) than AHSport. Anyway.. is it good? Can´t say that it isn't.. Gets compliments? Yes, a decent amount. The best CHANEL? By no means. Worthy of the CHANEL price? I don´t think so. I would pick LA NUIT, CODE, or even LE MALE over this any given time.

BORING! The opening is the same as the original, and then it slowly changes into a quiet tonka. Extreme? Really? Not on my skin!

5/10

Seriously underrated fragrance. One of those rare ones that becomes more lovely as it develops. I keep getting gorgeous wafts of this throughout the day, especially when sprayed on clothing. Forget the "sport" in the name and just judge it as a smell. I think it's rather beautiful.

Um unimpressed, about the concept and the fragrance.

I imagined Allure Sport with more testosterone, but i got Allure VIP (Allure sport + Carolina Herrera VIP)
But the result is weaker in sillage and projection to the two above.

It is not bad, it just that it isnt an sport fragrance.

I imagined like Allure sport, but more like Versace pour homme in the aquatic and woody department, reducing the Tonka and vanilla, and filled with some resin like the soft touch of Abercrombie Fierce. The base would be incredible with some nice woods and strong but smooth musk.


Overall: pasable, but if you want a Chanel go for Pour Homme, Sport or Bleu.

Im not sure if I like this scent, the opening is great with the mint and lighter accords but very quickly it is turning a bit bland. that being said as i go about every now and then I get a smell of something exquistitly beutiful but when i go and try and catch it the aroma escapes and hides behind the pepper.
I am hoping as this calms down the spice goes away and it becomes smoother.

Feels like they wanted this one to be sport fragrance and a sweet date fragrance in the same bottle.Some things do not combine well,it is awkward.

just bought 100 ml.. blind buy.. it smell strange at first and slowly turn into something lovely and good. well done

I have been wearing this for quite some time, and I still don't know what to think of it. For sure, this is nothing like Allure Homme Sport. It's not a lemoney scent anymore. I get a lot of tonka bean. It's syrupy but not all that sweet. It's rich and rather heavy. Not exactly fresh nor it is totally warm either. Everything smells pleasantly weird to me, especially the mint (or basil?). Not a blind buy and it requires multiple tests before making a final decision. For me, the best way to go is to get a lot of sample or a decant, that's all I'd really need.

I love it! Not sure why its a "sport". After smelling the others, I think this one was worthy of its own name. I've received very nice compliments at work and church.

very very good

I returned this within one day for another bottle of Sport. This smells just like sport does in the beginning and then tonka and musk come out. It does not work!

Ohhh this is nice. Shouldn't have been an allure flanker since I believe it is noticeably different than sport ot edition blanche. You'll notice the stingy powdery citrus that classifies this immediately as a channel. This has depth and if you like woody you'll love this. The tonka and cedar play nicely off each other. The pepper shines through every so often and the orange is always there at the heart of it. Its a little sweet for a summer day and I'm surprised so many people voted this as a summer fragrance. its versatile, moreso than bleu I think, but I would save this for cooler weather. Don't discount this for its sporty sport name

Starts very similar to Allure Sport and drydowns to Le Male. I prefer the original much better.

Sillage and Longevity are above average.

Perfumery is dead! Even the great houses like Chanel and Dior keep releasing crap fragrances. Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême is not extreme at all. It's a sweetened version of the original Allure Homme Sport. Creativity = Zero!

The opening of Eau Extrême ist identical to the opening of Allure Homme Sport. But shortly after the initial blast of generic freshness, the fragrance becomes sweeter, the sporty notes fade away. A big tonkabean note takes over the whole composition. It starts to smell nauseatingly cheap, like a drugstore air freshener. I was really surprised that a Chanel fragrance could smell that inexpensive. The same, sweet air freshener note was also very present in A*Men Pure Havane's base. I really loathe that nasty smell, but it completely dominates Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême.

What is so appealing about a synthetic tonkabean perfume? Why is it even called ,,sport"? What is sporty about a rubbishy sweetness? A big disappointment by Chanel.

full of ambergris.better than the original IMHO.

Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme is only extreme in the sense that it uses an extremely bold tonka to soften the harder "sporty" edges of lemon, cypress, and sage. I wasn't overly impressed with Edition Blanche, and Eau Extreme is only sightly better. I like the general feel of the scent more than Blanche because this smells like the original Allure, with a few extra trimmings. I'm partial to the allspice in the original, and it's represented here in much the same way, except it's a little sharper. The citrus has the usual Chanel fuzziness to it, very air-freshened and abstract. Cedar and cypress notes keep the sandalwood of the original formula from being too dark and warm. But Allure's original sandalwood note is in there. Kudos to Polge for avoiding the usual bland citrus/musk combo in a sport scent. But one has to wonder if woody-citrus-pepper on the original Allure chassis smells sporty, or just dense and sweet. I'd wear it on a date, but I'm not so sure I'd bring this to the gym.

appena spruzzato si riconosce bene il cipresso,poi subito dopo si appiattisce il tutto diventando leggero e dolce.mi ricorda a tratti best company cologne for men.
e' comunque un pizzico piu' moderno ma di extreme soltanto il nome.

More tonka then the orginal , it's more sweet , slightley warmer and has the original aldehydic sea like scent.
It's not more powerful then the original , tonka is more intensive only.
Longevity and projection seems less the the original wich is kinda weird ! But still long lasting(6 hours).
Quality but it give me just like the original a nausea feeling.
For me , the cologne version is the best from the sport line!

KEEP IT COMING HATERS! THE MORE YOU HATE, THE LESS YOU WEAR IT, THE MORE UNIQUE I WILL BE :)

I can tell you exactly what this is reminiscent of. It reminds me of Joop Jump! with a touch of le male and allure homme sport. I loved Joop but it was a bit harsh and too powdery to my nose. This is the perfect alternative.

I'll be honest. This isn't bad at all. But to me, it smells like a weaker version of JPG's Le Male Terrible. I prefer the original Allure Sport. That one is the bomb!

New edit:

What was I saying? This is some good stuff! Yes it reminds me a bit of Le Male but other than that I grew to like this one after going through two samples! Might consider a purchase soon. Longevity wasn't bad!

*also I would love to see what you snobs would say if the composition of eau extreme was the original allure homme sport and the original composition of allure homme sport was the new eau extreme in essence just flipping the release if you snobs get my drift so eau extreme would be released in 2004 and homme sport 2012....I GURANTEE that you all would have praised eau extreme and would have hated original homme sport and complain that "its not uniqie" and blah blah blah....i find eau extreme is unique what other fragrance has a great mint note that stays throughout the whole duration of the scent and a more moderate tonka bean with less in your face spice....the only think allure homme sport/eau extreme have in common is the tonka bean and the tonka bean in eau extreme is done better/smells better compared to original homme sport....I just find it amusing that you snobs just bash a fragrance to bash it as if you could create something better

all of you eliteist snobs are hillarious, bashing this fragrance...Eau Extreme added a terrific refreshing mint in the opening, got rid of the sick to my stomach pepper orange scent and the dry down is summer/fall in a bottle....It smells similar to le male in the opening but not as harsh....great summer frag, great all season frag...I like this over allure homme sport....or as you eliteist snobs say....spauuuuorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt.....if you snobs want to bash this fragrance your doing it very subjective....not every fragrance can match up to your precious green irish tweed or Bond no 9 new harlem with the ridiculous price tag...this is a great designer scent for 18-50's age range

This is a melding of the original Allure Homme and Allure Homme Sport. It's as if the original Allure Homme had a mid-life crisis and instead of wearing his usual jacket with wide shoulders decided to wear his younger brother's sleeker and more modern jacket, one made of of ozonic musk which envelopes Eau Extreme's tonka core, which I always felt was M. Polge's signature note in all of his earlier creations. I'm happy to smell it again!

I couldn't understand what people meant when they referred to the original Homme Sport as an aquatic--it didn't smell like the aquatics of Acqua di Gio, Cool Water, or Bvlgari Aqva. Maybe Creed Silver Mountain Water, but not the aforementioned aquatic standards, so I guess some people can zero in on that ozonic musk odor and I was just distracted by the other wonderful notes in the original Homme Sport.

What this scent has to do with surf and surfers I absolutely do not know, but if they decided that French fashion was their pastime away from the water, we might have a connection. Danny Fuller is from my home state, and I can tell you now that no full time surfer would wear any scent other than the smell of salt water in their hair and the smell of their own skin and the occasional flower lei.

Eau Extreme seems to have great longevity, but on myself, it stays close to the skin. It is warm, very spicy and woody for much of the duration. It doesn't have the lilt of Homme Sport, but I'm quite happy it has the deep nuances of the original Allure. Somewhere down the line they killed the longevity of the original Allure and has since castrated it somewhat. Nice to know Eau Extreme has come to the forefront to pay homage and at the same time don itself with touches of modernity.

Starts off like a deeper version of Allure Pour Homme Sport - then the Sportness of it fades away and It spins into something resembling a gourmand - not all all what a "sport" moniker evokes mentally. After 30 min, it is nothing like APHS.

It reminds me of Bond No. 9 I Love New York for Him - starts off as sweet citrus summer scent, then evolves into a dark cold weather scent.

I want my summer aquatics to stay that way, and a gouramond to start off there. Probably the worst Chanel I have tried.

Opens quite fresh with light citrus and quickly becomes sweet; the strong sage makes for a herbal, slightly medicinal kind of sweetness. The woods and pepper are quite subtle here; overpowered by the tonka I feel. Makes me think of Diesel Plus Plus with a sharper opening.

An autumnal, romantic, strong yet subtle, unisex fragrance which is a creamy-spicy blend...

I applied 6 heavy sprays.

0 - 30 secs - Alcohol, modern, clean, not much

30 secs - 1 hour. 1.5 foot projection - superb. It settles down after 30 secs to an on the skin very common place creamy-spicy aroma - a bit like harsh spicy rice wine and not too my taste. This is similar to many others on the skin e.g Surge Lutens Gris Clair or Daim Blonde. The scent which projects however is much better and is softer, creamier and alluring with less spice. This scent is ideal in the autumn, very romantic, with walks around falling leaves. There is nothing Sport about this.

1 - 3.5 hours. Still 1.5 foot projection, great! On the skin the harsh rice wine smell gets a smoother perfumed feminine twist and it becomes now a little more of its personality and easier on the nose. The scent which projects is like a more pungent version of Azzaro Chrome Legend for men

3.5 hours - 4.5 hours. 1.25 foot projection, same smell as above. Less unisex now as the spiciness re-appears and more masculine Ages 38-58. Again the scent which projects is much younger and creamier - ages 22 - 38. IMHO I would prefer to spray this on the torso or arms to let the better projecting smell waft upwards as opposed to spraying behind the ears as you will get some of the scent on the skin, which is harsh spiciness

4.5 hours - 5 hours. 1 foot projection, yet subtle. Same scent as above

5 hours - 6 hours. 6 inch projection, yet subtle, Same scent as above

6-7 hours - 2 inch projection. Subtle like above

7-8 hours. Close to skin

There is nothing sport about this, instead this is one to wear if you are falling in love. Romantic and strong, yet subtle.

If you are wanting a strong summer refreshing male sport frag, then I recommend you look at Lanvin Homme Sport which projects and lasts all day and is so affordable and chills you out

Good, but I wouldn't purchase

Extreme price but rich in flavour. I really love it. I am big Chanel's fan and I bought all of Allure frags, and Chanel Extreme recently.
All of them, longevity in my skin the projection is fairly close to the skin, the longevity is poor.
They are not perfume they are just cologne.
I usually wear Bleu or Chanel Homme Sport, but I think Extreme it's sweeter than Homme Sport.
I am very happy to have bought the Extreme

more i wear it more i like it
well balanced
9 out of 10

I BOUGHT THIS FRAGRANCE AND IT IS NOT SIMILAR TO THE

OLD ONE AT ALL,IT'S VERY FRESH THAN THE OLD SPORT

I CAN SAY THAT CHANEL HOUSE WILL NOT RELEASE ANY

COLOGNE OR PERFUME JUST FOR ''MONEY'' BECAUSE THEY

ARE BIGGER THAN THIS THOUGHT,THIS FASHION HOUSE

TRYING TO KEEP THEIR REPUTATION ALWAYS IN THE SAVE

SIDE SO,I THINK THEY HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH THIS.

Sadly, there is very little that is alluring about this release. It smells like a pale, plain, middle child brother of the original Allure. I tried it on my skin. I sniffed and sniffed. My only instant reaction was a yawn. It was neither here nor there, similar to sitting through a very slow movie.

Where is the alluring quality and where is the air of Chanel luxury? None to speak of I'm afraid.

If this was bottled in a generic bottle, it would have found its place in Coty's wall of similar smelling sports fragrances.

I understand the frustration of Chanel fans about this Allure. Eau extreme is a cross between Allure Homme and Allure Homme Sport. Less citrus and sweeter, it's nice and wearable, pretty versatile. However the fragrance brings nothing new to the Allure line.
PS: I can easily see this as my first bottle in the Allure line.

Its really extreme in terms of elegance and richness.The perfume begins like allure homme sport in the first 5 minutes and then develops into a rich sweet hearts and then rests down to a sensual musky base which is extremely sexy and distinctive,people might have been expecting something new with a modern twist but here the name suggests shades of the original with a more deep and sensual scent,its a master piece and better by far than bleu which I think that people were comparing it to axe and now they are enjoying it.

Eau extreme is extremely chanel in terms of scent quality and elegant packaging,well done Mr polge.

very similar to the original AHS but less spicy....For my taste, it does not deserve the purchase. It is a nice pleasant perfume but those who have the original, this is a waste of money because the AHS is very good also in terms of longevity, sillage etc. It is a twin brother in a different colour bottle. I would say is slightly sweeter than the AHS.

was disspointed....don't like it. I love regular allure sport, I tought that this will be better, just stronger, but no, smells cheap for me..

VDXL I wonder what you would say about CH212 with 2 or 3 editions every year... Chanel is by far one of the greatest perfume houses...

Haven't tested this on my skin, just on the bottle: it's a milker and more intense Allure Sport ( can't pronounce on sillage and lasting power). By the way, Chanel, you already have a lot of Allure references: classic, eau fraichissante pour l'ete, Sport, Sport Cologne, Edition Blanche, Sport Extreme. The same number of offerings Axe has on the shelves at 2 percent the price. Where is the luxury appeal, the focus on quality and innovation? We only have markets that have to be flooded with new releases every year (every season even). Also, perfumes have to be reformulated periodically, because "IFRA" says "this substance will cause you cancer and etc. ". Come on, reality is other: perfumes have to become cheaper to produce and more expensive to sell. The label is more important than the smell, unfortunately. Should I say the noses at Chanel are useless? Come on, Cristopher Sheldrake, focus more on Serge Lutens.

Except the word Sport I ve liked this really, if was named different would be great.
The good is that original's similarity to Issey Miyake has gone which I never liked and the rest is boosted in a deeper a richer way.
Very good projection and longevity.
If I ll own one I will probably put a sticker on the word Sport :)

There should be a rule against being able to choose that a fragrance reminds you of it's predecessor. Too easy. However, in the case of Eau Extreme... it's NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING like original Allure Homme Sport. Although it states "woody aromatic", it comes off like a balmy-oriental. Something in the mind of Armani Code and DSQUARED He Wood Silver Wind. For a fragrance that doesn't contain amber, it sure gives that impression, especially 3-5 minutes after settling into the skin. This is the best Allure since the very first. Definitely worth having among your collection.

Not similar to the original AHS.
The top notes blend together into a homogenous scent which is very soft and fizzy. I find it very hard to pick out the individual notes.
The mint is the hardest to pick up for me. I would never have guessed it was there if I hadn´t known.
Cypress and sage are the most prominent notes, then mandarin orange and last mint.
From the very beginning I can detect tonka bean and pepper, which is quite prominent.
The other base notes start to appear after about one hour, mixed with the top notes still lingering.
Very good quality juice and long lasting. But after about three hours it becomes very close to the skin on me. Soapy wood after about 4 hours.
When I smell this, the last thing that comes to mind is sport. They should have given it another name altogether!
I have Allure Homme Sport, but this is so good and different that I just might get a bottle. It is not a "version" of the original.

9/10 from me!

I do not understand so many negative reviews, Chanel tried to put the saturated notes in the first Allure sport to a wamer tunes with florals and aromatics lines. The first moments in Eau Extreme are sweet, fresh, fruity and maybe nothing new but the smell turns so lovely, confident, charming, sexy and very versatile in the last phase..

Surely we all expect something new, modern and different from Chanel but not simple, straightforward and easy to enjoy a great creation is discarded.

I love the new Allure Sport..an smiling scent.

Perfect. Original, fresh, aromatic. My new signature scent. A masterpice from Mr. Jacques Polge.

i am a fan of chanel and have all chanel perfumes, but with this eau axtreme i just want to say that nxt time chanel has to seriously think before launching its next mens perfume, seriously, even blue de chanel was not up to mark , but with this new release they have gone too down.

Finally tested today. Somehow similar to the AHS for an untrained nose but indeed is different, unfortunately inherits the name Sport since its parent is named Sport, actually this one has nothing to do with sport.

I have really allergy to the word Sport on fragrances, what is trying to be achieved by Sport (wearing to the gym?!), I dont have any idea. Giant houses such as Chanel shouldnt launch fragrances with name Sport.

If I had to choose of one them I would choose this one.

Initial impressions were pepper was boosted, some kinda soapy, richer, more powdery and floral, woodier and also dirtier. I detect vetiver as well.

Need to test more to give a fair opinion.

I've tested this twice on my wrists. Not bad, but not great, in my opinion. It starts out like Allure Homme Sport with something extra that isn't quite appealing to my nose. The drydown is powdery with some vanilla and isn't to my liking. Others may like the drydown, but not me. I don't get the extreme part of the name or the scent of the fragrance. I'm passing on this one. I'll stick with Allure Homme Sport.

I don't know am I getting a scent near to Allure series or it's a new approach; cause I'm trying to link it to other Allure versions and it is but there's something different showing a unique personality.
What I smell is perfect for itself; aquatic, sweet, a bit resinous and everything is just balanced.
It opens out with citric floral vernal theme then settles in a warmer spicy base till dry out when becomes leafy floral and spicy dominantly without any hint of citruses.
It's great for itself but not for Chanel. I mean I'm not conceived after masterpiece that I've experienced from the house. Maybe the age of those lady trap powerhouses is finishing.

A powdery, sweet version of the original Allure... I love it.
Eau Extreme, how? It turns very faint after 2 hours :-(

Extreme? Sure ok whatever you say. WOW, huge disappointment! Here we go, fades quick, synthetic and one demential. So unoriginal and boring that I find it hard to believe that Chanel put this out. Don't wast your time or $$, move on my friends.
worthy of this House!

------------

I agree with him.

I sprayed this on the other day at Macy's. This is not a bad fragrance, but at the same time it's nothing special. Especially considering the price tag.

They shouldn’t have launched this one bottom line. Starts as allure sport. Turns into Edition Blanche and then gets stuck. It smells like an old lady’s perfume to me. Not good. Dissapointed in my favorite non-niche fragrance house on this. Bad move Chanel…bad move.

I was excited to test this fragrance. So, the first time I found it, I sprayed it on a paper. My opinion: Not bad. It's OK. BUT: the store attendant (a girl) was very honest, she said she don't like it. So, that was a warning to me: "women don't like this fragrance, don't buy it". LOL

Well, I didn't intent to buy it anyway...

Of course it does start off very similar to Allure Sport, but it quickly takes a turn in another direction entirely. To me it shares some similarities with Givenchy Pi. It is sort of a mix between Allure Sport and that same cookie dough vanilla, powdery feeling of Givenchy Pi.

VILE VILE VILE JUICE!
Avoid at all costs!
Disgustingly powdery, by far the worst Allure fragrance. It's a disgrace!
I currently have one spray from a sample on my wrist, and every time i put my nose anywhere near it, i feel like I'm not only smelling, but tasting detergent! Over priced to a treat!
AVOID AVOID AVOID!
I'm not an Allure hater, i currently have edition blanche and i adore it! But this eau extreme is vile juice

well what a let down by chanel cant believe, the original allure homme sport was a fantastic i still love it to the core, but this eau extreme is one of the worst frm chanel, they will have to think seriously before launching anything in future.

Disgusting... The drydown alone offended me. Ill stick to the original AHS ....pass on this one. Major pass

Smells nearly identical to Allure Homme Sport (and Allure Homme, in some respects), except for maybe that there's more tonka, in the Le Male style as others have noted.

Pleasant, but not my thing. I think the Allure line has gone through some rough reformulations in the past few years.

sorry but in my opinion this is a terrible release :(
longevity is like max 2 hours on my skin and projection is also very poor + the scent smells even cheaper then the new releases from gucci .. shame on chanel :(

Found this very similar to Allure Home Sport. Same top notes to me, with a warmer middle and base.
I would agree with the comments that it's not very extreme in terms of smell. One thing I found amazing though - I sprayed one spray on the top of my hand - honestly, 2 days later I could still detect it. And before your ask, yes I do wash! I've never experienced that before - whatever they use for longevity it seems to work.

Haven't tested this one yet. I LOVE the original one in the sense that it's a "sport" scent yet it has depth to it unlike all other dull sports frags. I doubt that chanel could come up with something that tops ahs, i'll have to get my nose on this.

Extreme? Sure ok whatever you say. WOW, huge disappointment! Here we go, fades quick, synthetic and one demential. So unoriginal and boring that I find it hard to believe that Chanel put this out. Don't wast your time or $$, move on my friends.
Better yet buy A bottle of Allure or Bleu. 1/10 not worthy of this House!

Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme is a beautifully rich and warm scent. It is powdery and intimate. It has a very comforting and inviting energy. It is ideal for those cozy sweater wearing nights with your sweetheart.

I´m with U "Unfinished" concerning the parrelerals with bleu de Chanel, I got a very faint similarity with the original Allure Homme Sport EDT, I have this feeling I have a complete other perception of the word "Extreme", coz this is not intense or longlasting at all, atleast not on me. Anyway, its pleasant alright, but nothin different from the usual crap. I would rather go for its predecesor, its definitley lovelier than this, U really miss the vanilla, even if the tonka still makes it sweet, the good freshy part of its predecesor is completly missin here. SO for all your info, just go for it if you want something safe. nothin much.

This flanker should have been named Bleu Extreme. It has more in common with Bleu than Allure Sport. Imagine cross between Bleu (top and middle) and Paco Rabanne 1 Million (base) It smells generic and has similar semi-sweet drydown with Paco Rabanne 1 Million, Diesel Only the Brave, John Varvatos, etc. Chanel plays safe with this fragrance. The fragrance has quality, projects well and is longlasting but without any distinctive character. I got one compliment wearing this. Thumbs neutral.

Tried it today on blotter so my opinion can differ from the one of men who wears it on a regular basis. I'm a big fan of the original Allure Sport, have bought it at least 5 times and still have a bottle on my shelf (a lot of girls enjoy it so I bring back my pleasant memories from time to time). I have to say that from the very beginning it's hard to find any difference between this two frags. But later on new Extreme becomes more sweet, more common and ordinary. I liked the original one because its perfect balance between sweet and fresh notes, the new edition lacks it. It's not Extreme at all, it's Safe version. Thumbs down Chanel, another bad copy to earn cash(((

It is better than Bleu de chanel,but No new + I hope Chanel perfume launch close to the Creed ( Silver Mountain Water )


Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme

Scent:6.5/10
Projection:6.5/10
Longevity:7/10

Final Rating:6.5/10
Good, but want the best

I have been the biggest of fans of all allure frags over the years and still hold the original allure and sport versions in my top five fragrances ever. I also liked the later flankers. I was very excited about the new extreme version. The bottle is fantastic and beautiful, however having tried the fragrance now for a few days, I am a little disappointed. With some much competition of new fragrances it could be much more. It is pleasant, but nothing more, it is simply not distinctive enough. it gets better after approx an hour, although there is a note in there that reminds me of a more traditional than modern feel. The only thing extreme is the price, £66 at Boots, not just extreme but obscene!

Just bought the 100 ml today and received 2 10ml EDT's extra as free samples :)

It's a flanker of a flanker from the Allure line.

I own all 11 Chanel Homme frags and all in the largest available bottle sizes.

I have to say that I love the original Allure Homme and have done so since it was released.

Then came the Allure Sport and to me this is nothing special, but yet it's the top seller from Chanel for 10 years - and I have to admit, that while it's boring and safe, it is a very good sport scent and one of the better sport frags out there.

Eau Extreme is NOTHING like the other Allure frags.

The top notes gives you a sweet cloying minty vanilla with a bit of citrus in there.
This frag is quite heavy for a sport fragrance - I feel this might have rather good longevity for such a type of frag.
I still sense the vanilla & mint in the dry down, but the Tonka Bean is more prevalent along with the musk and cedar.

All in all I actually give this a thumbs up rating.

Longevity on my skin was very good - 7-8 hours solid.
Projection is strong for the first 1-2 hours, then the scent stays closer to the skin.

I actually like this frag more than I though I would.
Imagine a JPG Le Male in a lighter less cloying version and with the mid notes from the Allure Sport - this is what Eau Extreme smells like to my nose.

Rating:
Longevity: 8/10
Projection: 8/10
Scent: 9/10 (for a sport scent)
Overall: 8.5/10

If you don't like Le Male and Allure Sport, then stay far far away from this.
If you like Le Male and/or Allure Sport, you definitely should check this frag out.

Experiencing "Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme" leaves you with a big questionmark (at times when a big exclamation mark is what everyone seems to want).
Imagine this as a frail version of the now discontinued "Allure Homme Eau Fraichissante Pour l`Ete" with an almost evident dose of "Le Male's" main accord for the first half an hour or so.
The brilliantly executed commercial of a windsurfer challenging the ocean's waves with grace feels rather misplaced for this smell, but its low contrast b/w aesthetics do the perfume's sandalwood facet good justice for sure!
For a male perfume (much like "Bleu" before it) it is rather "thin" (to put it diplomatically). It needs more character to make any statement, something in excess.
The artistic designers/director have done a marvellous job (as always) but from a house with the tradition and know how like this one, we all expect more originality (to be honest, in this case this doubles with "common sense") and a troubled spirit.
It's safe enough to say that the only "extreme" thing about "Allure Sport Eau Extreme" is the word on its bottle. A very conventional creation indeed.

a note: the projection is fairly close to the skin, the longevity is poor.

Costly for sure. But to a chanel fans it won't be a problem rather than buying much of boring frag marked with different designer brands but they all share the same notes.

Pleased to wait for this one

Bein a huge fan of its predecesor, I will definatley try this one straight away. Can hardly wait.

An Extreme on a Sport?
Just kidding, the title reminds me muscle spasm!
Anyway, actually it's the thing I cannot judge before I go through precisely after the last experience on Chanel which was not convincing enough. Hope this is the right one.

I wasn't really impressed by this Eau Extreme. It is typical "intense" version of the regular fragrance with a big amount of tonka beans and something balsamic (like balsamic notes in Blv Notte and Cerruti Si). Unfortunately I didn't identify any mint here. The base seems to be similar to that in original Allure Homme Sport. So nothing really new or special - I like Bleu more.

It is better than Bleu de chanel,but still nothing groundbreaking.
Generic sporty opening with mediocre drydown, similar to the new Gucci sporty frags.
Scent:5/10
Sillage:7/10
Longevity:7/10

I read it's gonna replace Allure Homme Sport Cologne - my all time fave lemony scent! Pity cause this one sounds very different. It's better be good! And I'll start stocking up on my favourite summer cologne in the meanwhile.
