Allure Sensuelle Eau de Toilette

With Chanels, I'm always more partial to the EdTs, it's no different with Allure Sensuelle. I have a tiny bit left over from my 7 year old bottle. I haven't seen the EDT in department stores these days, which is a shame as I really enjoy this. The EDT is similar to EDP, it's just as sensual, but it's lighter, more earthy and dry, less rose in this version...the focus is more on the woods, vanilla, amber and soft spices, the fruits and florals here are subdued, dry and cozy. The EDP is more feminine and 'formal', the EDT is more comfortable, younger and can be worn by men, so it leans unisex. Something for confident, sensual women, perfect for the boardroom, the bedroom and everything in between. Day to night scent great for all seasons, it's as versatile as it's predecessor Allure (edt). If you are looking for a clean, warm patchouli with some understated sexiness, this is it. Good longevity with moderate sillage. I love the dryness of this scent. It brings to mind another 'unisex-leaning' sweet, earthy scent I love, Elixir des Merveilles...this one is classier and more 'sensual' though.

So mine smells different than the ones currently available to test in store. Not sure if the fresher ones are a different formula, or if mine has aged considerably. Perhaps a combination of both. The EDTs in the store are very different from the EDP. They are very light, sillage and longevity is unimpressive, and they definitely smell more 'fresh' than anything else. My EDT is darker in colour (I suspect it is on the turn), and is more similar to the EDP except not quite as potent. I actually prefer mine with a bit of age on it, have had all sorts of compliments and it lasts for ages. The review down there about the 'perfect patchouli' was right. I have come to appreciate both the EDP & EDT equally. EDT can be worn during the day and EDP for night. (If you're a hardcore fan like me). It is certainly a unique smell. There is what I can only describe as an ozonic element to it. Alluring and sensual indeed. Chanel doesn't 'go off' like other perfumes.

Drydown: a smoky note, a peppery note and a blood-like note, all mixed in a very sensual way. Yes, I know this sounds a bit scary, but this is how I hear the notes personally, and after three long days of testing it...yep, I can't seem to change opinion. It's that disturbed and pretty. You have a spicy peppery citrusy opening and a patchouli that develops right away. This is hands down the best iteration of patchouli that Chanel has ever made, better than the EDP, better and different than Coco Mademoiselle and Coco Noir. Basically it is a peppery,herbal, spicy patchouli. That gets smoky after some time because of the amber and the labdanum. Definitely sharper than the EDP, and the vanilla here is non existent; no sweetness, thank God. Something winey too. Doesn't need to be jealous of the EDP's longevity and sillage. It's so weird. I like it. Does it compete with my favorite Tom Ford Patchouli? No, but it's totally worth having as well.

Spectacular fragrance, so beautiful and feminine I am surprised it is not more popular. Maybe it is the bottle as Coco Mademoiselle's is prettier and the scent is similar in a way. It is the most similar to Allure Sensuelle edp, of course, but lighter and freshier which makes it good for spring and maybe summer evening while the edp is typical autumn-winter with its sweet vanilla and warm notes. This edt reminds me as well of Coco Noir's drydown. It is hard to describe, a sweet floral with rich background and fresh top notes. I feel pink pepper, bergamot and mandarine of the top notes layered on a rose with powdery iris and a patchouli-ambery base. I feel also vanilla and musk, but gentler than in the edp. I like it the most in winter for some reason, like the eau de parfum. It is ultra-feminine and lasts long. The edp can overwhelm, the edt is safe.

I love it. I first wore the EDP but then decided to give the EDT a try. It is quite the same but a bit less heavy on the dried fruits and a little more citrus-vanilla during dry down. I get more vanilla in this one, which, surprisingly, makes it more airy. Delicious vanilla, by the way. The Edp has a bit more density and feels creamier than the Edt. It is, although, still woody and the patchouli is also very recognizable. Very Chanel. I love this fragrance, makes me happy - always happy with Chanel fragrances!- and bold when I wear it. I would wear it day and night, but wouldnt overspray it. It reminds me a bit of Coco Noir, but more citrusy with less discrete syllage. Lasts about 8 h in my skin, more on clothes. Projects better than the EdP.

One of my absolute favourites - and the best Chanel on my skin. It just seems to fit me perfectly. The combination of sweet vanilla and dried fruits with powdery iris and woody/herby vetiver and patchouli is so beautiful. Not to much - just enough. It has nice projection with out filling the room and lasts more than 12 hours on my skin. It makes me feel elegant, sensual and empowered. It demands nice clothes, refined, golden jewelry and high heels. But when I wear it I’m bulletproof.

I just received a bottle of the EDT from a friend as a late birthday present. I like it possibly for Spring/Summer as it is not as heavy as the EDP that I have already. It is a bit lighter as one would expect with the Amber and Vanilla being more pronounced here in the EDT with the spices a little more subdued then they are in the EDP. I can see myself wearing this one to bed all nestled up to my love. Love it! 10/10

I am so in love with this beauty from the first sniff, and am delighted to have finally found it! EDP used to give me such a headache, whereas the lighter EDT version is much more enjoyable...and I can actually wear it... :) it is a lovely fragrance, warm, cosy, feminine, a pure masterpiece! If you ever come across it, grab it - it is discontinued!...

Got this one from my Shopper's Beauty Counter because the lady was wearing it, and it smells FANTASTIC. I like have scents to alternate, you don't always feel like the same person every day, right? This one is very me, in the sense of it's a lovely woody, musky scent, but not veering into floral even though there is a hint in there.

Smelling this with my eyes closed and suddenly it conjured the image of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, wearing that silk brown polka dots dress at the polo match. Elegant and airy, clean but not cold, it exudes refined sensuality with a playful edge. I just love the patchouli in this. It's perfect.

انها انثى سيئة و آثمة تحب لفت الانظار ترتدي الملابس المثيرة و الكعب الاحمر العالي تضع الحمر الفاقعة .. غايتها الأولى ان تثير من حولها .. تعشق الاماكن الصاخبة تذهب اليها قصداً .. بكل ثقة .. تتحدث بعفوية تضحك بصوتٍ عالٍ .. ألور سانشيوال عطر الفتاة المشاغبة .. لن تستطيع تجاهلها

This hands down one of my favorite Chanel's this is good good Low key might be my favorite I think I 'need' the EDP🤭

where is the Frankincense note here?

I tried to love it and embrace this perfume into my lifestyle, oh I did try. On the bottle it smells divine, a very classy, superb lady who knows her worth and is very sophisticated. However, this develops weirdly on my body. Somehow when sprayed, this smells like an old lady perfume on me. The silage is great, Staying power is exceptional. I just regret it did not go well with my body chemistry at all. 4/5 stars for me, I understand its allure, however I know that it does not go well with my chemistry, and that is not the fragrance’s fault at all. Overall, I respect this scent, and kudos to the women and men who can pull this off, how I envy you.

The opening is quite harsh/manly cologne smelling but the dry down reminds me of the original allure edt, just spicier, woodier. Not bad but not my favourite. I much prefer the fragrance of the original edt. Update after a few days: Layers so beautifully with original allure edt, both of them together give the scents that extra edge so beautiful and intoxicating (in a good way!) Pretty long lasting for an edt lasts about 6-7 hours and also adds to longevity of original allure edt when layered! Yay

First sniff I smell peach, vanilla and almost-overly ripe or dried fruit and honeydew melon. Not very powdery at all so don't let the iris och rose scare you. Dries down to a balsamic warm amber note with hints of rose and peach. Modern and fruity in the beginning, drying down to a truly comforting, spicy and warm balsamic scent, making it a ray of sunshine in the winter - very Chanel.

It starts like a sharp cologne, but few moments later it's very pleasant, well rounded scent, a bit floral and cozy oriental. Truly sensual, good for moderate weather.

I have tested it in a perfume store, This fragrance is balanced spicy citrusy fruity in the top notes, then moves to be balanced fruity with Patchouli, Labdanum, Spicys and Amber fragrance plus musk flowers and a hint of vanilla came from the background. Strong sharp Perfume needs a lady prefer this type of perfumes tends to masculine aspect more than feminine aspect or prefer unisex perfumes. In Comparing with "Coco mademoiselle", In my opinion, "Coco mademoiselle" also tends to masculine aspect more than aspect feminine, but "Allure Sensuelle Eau de Toilette Chanel" less citrusy and Patchouli with balanced feelings of spices, fruits and woods, both of two perfumes are at the same taste I think, If you love one of them, you will love the other one. If you didn't smell this perfume before, I advise you to don't blind buy because this perfume needs a lady inetrest this fragrance. For my own taste, I prefer Clear feminine perfumes; like "Gabrielle Chanel" or "Chanel No.5". This fragrance suitable to wear it during the day or at night, at all seasons, It lasts along on the leather and more than one day on clothes. لقد جربته في متجر للعطور، يتميز هذا العطر برائحة حارة حمضية فاكهية متوازنة في مقدمة العطر، ثم يتحول إلى رائحة فاكهية متوازنة مع الباتشولي واللابدونيوم والتوابل والعنبر، بالإضافة إلى الزهور والمسك ولمسة من الفانيليا في الخلفية. العطر قوي وحاد، لذا يُنصح به للنساء اللواتي يفضلن هذا النوع من العطور، حيث أنه يميل إلى الطابع الذكوري أكثر من الأنثوي، أو يفضلن العطور المناسبة للجنسين. بالمقارنة مع "كوكو مادموازيل"، أعتقد أن "كوكو مادموازيل" يميل أيضًا إلى الطابع الذكوري أكثر من الأنثوي، لكن "ألور سينشوال أو دو تواليت شانيل" أقل حمضية، مع نفحات متوازنة من التوابل والفواكه والأخشاب. أعتقد أن كلا العطرين سيناسبان نفس الذوق، إذا أحببتِ أحدهما ستحبين الآخر، فإذا لم تشمِّ هذا العطر من قبل، أنصحكِ بعدم شرائه شراءً أعمى، حيث أن هذا العطر يحتاج إلى سيدة تستمتع بهذه الرائحة. بالنسبة لذوقي الخاص، أفضل العطورالأنثوية بشكل واضح؛ مثل "غابرييل من شانيل" أو "شانيل رقم 5". هذا العطر مناسب للاستخدام ليلًا أو نهارًا، في جميع الفصول، ويدوم طويلًا على الجلد، وأكثر من يوم على الملابس.

I usually go for EDPs, but not with Allure Sensuelle. The EDP is equally beautiful, but less versatile and unisex. Moreover, it lacks the EDT's airiness and freshness, it has vanilla amped up, it smells too ripe for me. And here I enjoy the signature Chanel combo of sweet, spicy and fresh. Allure Sensuelle is extremely elegant, edgy, a little bit sharp, very warm patchouli dominanted, spicy oriental, and this note of fresh citrus and honeyed wet melon that I also feel in Coco Mademoiselle and Chance, - it's so stylish and, dare I say, sexy. Allure Sensuelle can easily be worn by a man - and believe me, a guy who wears it will get tons of complinents on how sensual (here you go) he smells. This perfume smells not only stylish, sexy, strong and sweet, but also refined, intellectual, "upper class" (god knows I hate notions of class and social stratification, but what I mean - it smells rich and having many opportunites in life). It's mainly patchouli, rose, vanilla, amber, citruses. It's warm and enveloping, with a long sillage. The only problem with it is that it's so distinctive, it's impossible not to recognise it on a person. I will know straight away it's Allure Sensuelle. There are not much people who wear it though. A hidden gem. It's a masterpiece.

What a great day - my Chanel order arrived which included Allure Sensuelle edt and Allure edt! I am normally an edp girl but occasionally an edt especially from a good brand can be better, it is rare for me though. However, both Allure Sensuelle edt and Allure edt suit my skin better. I have friends who smell lovely in the edp of Sensuelle and the original but on my skin they don't smell as great. With reference to Sensuelle edt, it doesn't have that musky heaviness that seems to bother me in the edp - actually I would say that this kind of note is similar to the note in Allure edp, it is difficult to describe and as I normally like a bit of depth to my perfumes it is unusual but the freshness the edt brings to both really lightens it up. The Sensuelle edt still has the same DNA as the edp but is much lighter and fresher. Definitely prefer this to the edp for me anyway.
