Allure Sensuelle (for women)

Designer: Chanel Olfactive Group: Oriental Floral

Allure Sensuelle has preserved its unique and playful fickleness with dazzling citrus, fruity and floral notes, and magnificent wooden accords. Resemblance is there, yet the fragrance has become more mysterious and shady. It has not become heavier, but unlike the dazzling brightness and joyful sunny character of the classic Allure, Allure Sensuelle is warmer, its powdery (iris) and oriental notes are accentuated. Its sweet notes (candied fruits) are not obtruding, but hidden in sensual spices and frankincense.

The top notes contain bergamot, mandarin and pink pepper. The heart is composed of jasmine, rose, iris, candied fruits and vetiver followed by the base notes of French vanilla, amber, patchouli and frankincense. The perfume was created in 2006 by Jacques Polge. Its face is charming actress Anna Mouglailis.

wonderful, fascinating. i love this scent.

It is sensual at the beginning, with a low note of amber, but something prevented me from buying it. Then I discovered the reason: some ingredient is like in Dune by Dior, the most horrific scent ever, that I hate deeply.
06/12/09 03:19:44
It starts out quite classy and fresh, then warms up nicely but I can't stand the patchoulli scent that keeps lingering on for ages. It smells a little rotten I think. I absolute dislike it for that reason.

This perfume intrigues me a lot and that is because it changes sooo much on my skin, that I don't know what to make of it...should I like or not??? Let me explain, to me, it starts with a smell of nail polish and banana peel ( weird, I know), a very strong, sharp, schreechy smell. After about 20 mins it settles down to something beautiful!!! It becomes soft, sensual, warm... I detect vanilla and amber in the drydown on my skin. Apart from the opening notes, which are too harsh for me, but they fade quickly anyway, I think it's a beautiful fragrance, worth the money, very long-lasting and seductive.

great perfume, like all the other Chanel actually. but i have to say that i prefer allure instead of allure sensuelle because it is more special. allure sensuelle can easily be wore by younger women.

05/06/09 03:18:32
My husband bought this for me and he always like it but not really me. I prefer the other Allure. The scent seems very masculine.

After trying Coco Mademoiselle which I kinda liked yet something put me off. It was this Chanel note (not note but something that is in all Chanel frags I tried, it varies, in worst case it's sour on me) that gone slightly sour and was making up inner conflict. So I tried Allure Sensuelle. I's quite similar to Coco Mademoiselle, but this note isn't sour. Opening is very interesting- blend of patchouli and sweetened citruses... Heart notes includes same patchouli + peach if you sniff your wrist not sticking your nose to it and if you do stick your nose to your wrist you get rewarded with spices from base- similar to indian incense sticks (or whatever they're called).
Longevity is super awesome (I think all Chanel has great staying power, I remember trying to wash off Coco Mademoiselle from my sleeve- quite something to do..) At last, I found Chanel for me :D
04/06/09 05:21:40
I am not fond of Chanel perfumes, but Allure is an interesting scent...warm, classy yet modern, and sensuous.a very feminine scent.but a winter scent I would think..After a while it just gets a bit heavy for me
Cristalle is another one of my favorite..crisp and green and very springlike!
03/31/09 09:43:41
I find this scent surprisingly fresh and sexy. After years of avoing Chanel fragrances, they are becaming my latest craving. Maybe my taste is evolving...

The top notes keep the scent fresh and wearable during the day and its still very sexy for night wear. I love the lavender note on the base notes, mixed with the pink peper, sandalwood and Iris, refreshed by the citrus notes.
03/30/09 02:41:28
Oriental, warm, rich, spicy, sensual indeed! Great evening fragrance.

Update: half and hour later it became a little too spicy for me, wouldn't wear it in summer time.
03/17/09 08:06:22
This is a very interesting scent. Complex. I like it and so does my fiance who loves roses...

My signature scent. Very classy very Chanel!
02/19/09 06:54:50
Way better than Allure original, much more femme. I love the subtle shifts in the opening notes and admire the thought that went into making such a complex scent.
01/20/09 15:38:56
After years of trying numerous perfumes, this has become my signature scent. Whenever I wear this, people always remark on how good I smell!

so masculine! i hate it! the worst chanel perfume ever!
12/28/08 12:31:34
very sexy and warm fragrance..

There is something special with many Chanel fragrances but this is my absolute favourite. I had spent a few years looking for a new signature scent when I ended up at the Chanel counter. Allure Sensuelle became my choice as I found it fresh, sexy and intriguing. I love how it developes from the citrusy topnotes though the sweet powdery floral heart to end up with a smokey amber vanilla base. I started to use it a bit hesitant as it is quite loud the first hours, and I wondered if it really was "the one"? Today I love many fragrances, but Allure Sensuelle has a special place in my heart, and the marvellous drydown has become a part of my personality that I wouldn't want to go without.
11/21/08 16:58:49
I should correct myself about this one a bit. It can be easily used even in summer, at least on my skin, it becomes very fresh..no spices, no bitterness, even sweetness is pomegranate-ish sort of or fruity,, or else osmething Icant understand, teh very least my skin makes some sort of strange watery very fresh fruit out of it. I like it more on clothes, more authenticity. Thoug hmy husband when I have it on my skin, keeps on complementing me every other minute, which is so not 'him'.

Anyway, Allure Sensuelle and Allure(orginal) are the only two perfumes that I've came accross, that truly proves to me that each perfume reacts diffently on the skin, not only evaporates sooner or later. Before them I was convinced that all this thing about perfume smelling differently on another person, was just a fiction
11/03/08 15:51:57
This is a rather busy but well constructed scent. Like the original Allure (which I am not terribly fond of, and don't find may similarties to in AS), it boasts a multifaceted composition, here with equally balanced components of Woods, Amber, Fruit, Citrus, Floral, and Spice. This perfume has a musty, spicy plum note-think of an aged Syrah. It reminds me of old libraries-one of my favorite places to be! Definitely a fragrance for autumn and winter. Long-lasting, with an obvious sillage. Very grown-up; I would pair it with cashmere turtlenecks and plaid skirts (with black lace underneath!).
11/01/08 21:24:58
honestly, in the beginning it smells like a cologne. Then it begins to get a bit warmer and a sweeter. It's for a mature/ older woman I'd say, it's classy and elegant. And now 20 or so minutes later it's warmed, slightly sweetish, with a vintagey smell, and sooo sensual yet calm and collected. Very much like it's name. Good for daytime, casual or work.
11/01/08 20:36:10
Quiet like oriental afternoon, when peoples resorts to shadow from sun and contemplates sluggishly beauty of world. Deep, dark, sweetish, thick, but not heavy, with discreetly coquetting note musk. There is very sensual due to calm, warmth, secret. Very me pleases, because I felt in it discreetly elegance too.
10/26/08 04:22:24
i wear the body lotion only and get lots of compliments. Its a very sensual fragrance!!! everyone loves it in my office ...indeed a spicy 1!
10/24/08 08:13:14
It's too spicy,sharp,heavy and masculine on my skin...can't smell it on me...I also think it's something between Allure and Coco Mademoiselle...I love Allure, I like Coco Mademoiselle, but I can't stand Allure Sensuelle!
10/17/08 14:10:45
It's a very rich and decent scent, not the kind I'd immediately fall in love with in a heart beat. It's warmer than some other Chanel fragrances I know (say Chanel 19), but still somewhat cold and distant. An "I'm the boss" kind of scent.
What caught me by surprise was the unmistakable resemblance to Cartier's Delices on dry down. Although the two start entirely different, after 30 minutes they dry into a romantic, thick, very sexy, fruity scent. The Chanel is cooler, of course, but they feel very similar.
10/16/08 06:26:27
This fragrance is THE ONE ... it's UNIQUE!
I don't know how to describe it better ... It is sweet and spicy but not too much ! I think it has the perfect combination, so that it gives You a verry confotable feeling of wellness! I feel confident, strong, feminine, sexy and ... amazing!
I feel like I'am surrounded by a unique aura!

Allure Sensuelle seriuosly hooked me. Confusing and rich smell, and the one I really really like. I don't understand what notes are in it, but I've already addicted to it.It's warm,spicy, bitter, ellegant, sensuous, distinctive and I agree, seriuos. Seriuos like Coco or Allure, the playfull easier going scent is Chance from Chanel perfumes not others three. It is for me lighter, younger version of Coco, not Allure, but I must admit the name Allure Sensuelle is the right name for it.If I could I would buy two biggest bottles in advance..Not suitable on hot weather, but I could wear it everyday in all seasons and colder summer days, thanks God winter's comming
10/03/08 14:33:10
So masculine on me, but not bad. Luxury fragrance, I would like to love but...I'm sorry, I can't.
09/26/08 13:46:11
I put Allure Sensualle on in the morning and although I cannot smell it on myself, others can. I get compliments well into the evening which means it lasts all day and evening. I have had men stop and ask me what I am wearing so they can suggest it to their wives and girlfriends. It may be a little pricy but since you are using a little at a time, it lasts a rather long time
09/20/08 01:58:29
guest_pippi
this is a very good one, too(at least for me). powdery, mystic, even romantic and very sensual (the name fits great).I would wear it all year arround, day and night and feel very feminine
07/16/08 07:54:41
To all the Chanel lovers: I have to admit that in the last two months I got to like Allure Sensuelle more and more...something like that has never happened to me before. When I got a sample of it it was just too strong, but I guess I applied too much or something... Anyway, I wanted to find out what people find so amazing about Chanel fragrances, and so I kind of forced myself to try it a few times more. Then, I smelled the many different facets of the perfume which I really appreciate - that's what makes out a "good" perfume in my opinion.
I've still got some trouble with the head note which reminds me of Chanel No. 5 a lot, but the rest is really nice, I have to say. Also, the staying power is great.
I am now planning to buy the whole bottle.
To everybody who doesn't like this one initially: Put a little amount of perfume on your clothes or on your body, and wait a bit. Don't smell closely at the beginning, because the head note needs getting used to. But the aura that surrounds you is amazing.
06/13/08 13:20:59
I tried it the other day. I liked it but it was nothing special. If I'm going to pay that price for a fragrance, it better knock my socks off.
06/12/08 15:41:51
Well, this is Allure + Coco mademoiselle. I like Allure very much, and I also like classy Mademoiselle, but I don't like this mix.
06/12/08 07:21:56
Just a sidetrack to Marianne: If you dont appreciate Chanel, then dont try its range.

Chanel range is unique if you ask me.

I really hate this fragrance...I wouldn't even call it a fragrance! But that's the case with almost every Chanel fragrance.
04/23/08 05:08:53
Very sophisticted fragrance, beautifully done, very "Chanel". Spicy and heady, this is best applied with a light hand: too much and it would overwhelm! Definitely one to try if you enjoy fragrances like Opium.

Hi Sarah!

Very nice description indeed. Under this form is "Fragrantica styler" where users can classify the fragrance. It is a bit alternative classification but if enough people who use some fragrance vote we will have very good picture for each fragrance soon.

This is a very intricate fragrance! That does'nt mean its not good - its out of this world!! The only good thing (or maybe bad) is that it "really works with your skin". I remamber in all the fragrances that i've worn, this is the one people asked and liked most. I will recommend it for spring, romantic evenings.
