Allure Homme Sport Cologne Chanel cologne – a fragrance for men 2007
One of mine grabs when I need to wear a refresher scent for the hottest weather in the day or a gym/workout reach. I live and I am active in the Beverly Hills area where it gets really hot in the summer and too heated for me to wear the usually suspects even such as a: Bleu EDT, Creed Aventus, or a Sauvage EDT.

This is one of my favorite fresh/sport scents (with Aventus Cologne, Viking Cologne, L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme, and Allure Sport/Allure Sport Eau Extreme). I am not the biggest citrus fan at times, but the quality you get from Allure Homme Sport Cologne Chanel is top-notch and this fragrance handles the heat so well.

Yes, I do agree it has a citrus harsh opening, but that is what I love about this fragrance. I even get a bit of barbershop, Creed Viking vibe from it at times in the extreme heat I think because of the vanilla dry-down.

Overall, it is a quality and classy citrus-sport scent that impresses people if you can pull it off in the summer. I usually wear it when I am active, going to the gym, or running an errand. Plus the bottle will get you attention, I pull it out of my gym bag and people are impressed with the way it looks. Not game changing, but a good roster spot if you’re playing the fragrance game in depth and want to flex a good collection.

Pros: classy gym scent, very smooth vanilla dry-down, citrus blast to wake you up, price (for a Chanel it is not badly expensive), bottle (one of the best looking bottles behind the Bleu line, so slick and cool) , brand (you are wearing a Chanel), and peace of mind (freshie that will always be liked).

However, if you need something with more depth and power but still in a sport style than you might want to look into the Allure Sport or Allure Eau Extreme lines.

(If you want to bump of your cologne taste even higher than you can try the Exclusifs one from Chanel but it is very expensive).
