Allure Homme Sport Cologne Sport by Chanel


Chanel these days seems to lack inspiration for his fragrances for men, since all the latest launches since 1998 are derivatives of the bestseller Body for Men, although olfactory speaking, they still away from the theme origin. 

The latter change the name extension is an agreement to cologne at first rather conventional, with its procession of neroli, lemon, bergamot and petit grain. 

The evolution is quite modern times, through woody (cedar), spicy (pepper, elemi) and very musky, while maintaining the initial cooling effect over a period rather surprising for citrus, which rarely exceeds generally held the first hour. 

Closer we get to the bottom notes, and this fragrance reminds me of Cologne Mugler, which disappoints somewhat, the "inspiration" is not really into the habits of the house. Perhaps it is only due to an unfortunate accident and the relative simplicity of the note? 

Still, the Chanel version, in its over-size bottle, whatever happens will be more successful than the splash of green Mugler, as worn by a brand to fame and success rarely matched so far, and who knows little failure.
