Allure Sensuelle Parfum

I think I am in love. I wish someone would see my review and let me know what is closer to the parfum edition (not available anymore), EDP or EDT? I am 99% sure I need a bottle in my collection! One smell and an immediate travel back to time and 90's has started. Warm hearted people, dressy vibes, cleaner skies, Chanel's aristocracy. A smell that it looks like a natural skin scent or to my eyes this is how people used to smell when perfumed theirselves. I still can't understand how patchouli became from a total hate to absolute love (the fine line between love & hate, you know). To be honest, almost all perfumes of that decade smell the same, patchouli/labdanum/vetiver/vanilla were a must. Time transforms them to more specific ones and skin chemistry plays a big role. Nowadays, or the last 2 decades, musk replaced this 'soapy clean' mixture of the base notes mentioned above and sugarbombs look like they ruled the market. OK, I am not going to mention about how ingredients changed, quality, discontinuations and restrictions, reformulations. What I can assure you is that Allure Sensuelle Parfum and perfumes like it are not the one you wear for fun or fitness like we do now. It's ideal to feel like home, to date, to impress on a formal day/night. I can smell notes of the EDP hidden under the oriental vibes of Parfum like pink pepper, sandalwood, lavender. Maybe fragrantica was a bit more lazy back then to mention all these notes and used the 'oriental notes' (see the notes on the page). All in all, I get the sensuality I was expecting for and will always respect Chanel's perfumerie. Bourbon vanilla in a floral/spicy hug that hypnotizes body & soul...

I have owned a few bottles of this rich scent and recently purchased a new one Feb 2020 . THe first day I wore it I was elated. It came out of the bottle as a rich intense scent and stayed on my clothing all day with three spritzes . Two days later the scent seems to have lost a significant amount of intensity ! Now the perfume does not last more than a few hours on my clothing and seems to have lost 50 % of its intensity . I have had recent disappointments with Coco and Allure , which I wore for over twenty years . Buying this Allure Sensuelle was a calculated risk since the quality of the house has declined so much . You might question my ability to interpret this scent and its strength. That would be logical . Sadly a friend also purchased a bottle a few weeks after I did and she is having the same experience ! This is absolutely my last Chanel purchase . Their perfumes are too expensive to perform so poorly . I hope you learn from my experience and I hope the quality at Chanel can someday be revived .

Chanel Allure Sensuelle Edp is simply a great scent, very attractive, feminine and different. A timeless classic. I think it is a niche scent rather than a designer scent. Its longevity is very high and its spread is also very good. I can smell Allure every time I take my coat out of the closet in the winter. I feel very integrated with this scent, I can say it is my signature scent for winter nights.

This is a fantastic Chanel experience. As you have combined the best of Allure,Coco Mademoiselle and Chanel n5 perfume.Beautiful flower combination like Allure, modern and "coquet" like Coco Mademoiselle and creamy and warm like Chanel n5. And so sensual. Very rich and strong too. Very good quality.

Gorgeous, rich, potent, passionate, sensual, divine!!!! It's fabulous!!!! Beautiful spicy oriental, with the wonderful rose and jasmine giving it a beautiful extra rich, sweet lift. And sweet vanilla, dark and exotic. A deeply sensual woman's perfume. I loooove it.
