Thanks for the review. I'm always on the hunt for a nice new fragrance. I currently use Dior Homme intense and, the new last years, Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal, which is an absolute must have in my opinion. Never have I worn a fragrance that so many strangers commented on. I had women in stores asking me which perfume I wore.

My all time favourite fragrance. I always get a kick out of the ice-cold metallic vibe (geranium, methinks) during the opening. It gives me the vibe of the 'zzinggg' of a katana (think Kill Bill here) cutting through the air.... As it dries down it changes to something completely different, something warm and beautiful. Amazing scent and a classic for sure!

Good review. Although I remember this fragrance from the 90s, I only bought my first bottle last week! Allure was my first Chanel purchase, way back in 1999. I like the cooler, sophisticated aura of this one ☝🏼 though. It’s timeless, elegant and a bit different from the sweet aftershaves that dominate the market at the moment.

Great review👌 but I am sorry to say has been reformulated & altered recently by Chanel! But I prefer the vintage version which I used to wear over the years! Most of classics are now reformulated due to new regulations imposed by EU. Such a pity🤔 but still smells great👌 Cheerio🥂
@TheChapsGuide2 жыл бұрын
All fragrances are constantly being reformulated between batches as the ingredients flex and change due to market availability and cost. Sometimes the fragrances get better, sometimes they get worse. I find the present Platinum Egoiste to be a faithful rendition and excellent successor to the original. I find that the very best houses, such as Chanel, rarely drop the ball on their scents. That is why they cost a little more than others.
@belairscents2 жыл бұрын
@@TheChapsGuide I agree with you! But sometimes they are forced to reformulate due to EU regulations! That's another story! Even perfumers are fed up with this! Many natural ingredients are now banned by IFRA such as oakmoss, musk , ambergris..... & This fact change the whole game for oldies!

@@belairscents different opinion here but I find most reformulations are for the better. take paco rabanne pour homme. the reformulation has tidied it up, taken away the animalic "dirtiness" and made it more soapy, and much more wearable, much more crowd pleasing. it's now a better fragrance than it has ever been. the re-release of lynx java is also better than it was in the 90s. one problem with it though, it's gone after 30 minutes. worn off.

@@belairscents yes but that's another point I often bring up. there is a huge disconnect between "frag heads" and the mainstream Joe Public. There's often a reason stuff like aqua di gio, cool water, and drakkar do so well commercially -- because they actually smell nice. I recently sampled some penhaligon's "terrible teddy" and honestly it's NASTY ... but it costs a bomb. niche. but no one much - apart from frag heads - would call that "quality"

He’s too much of a fan to properly evaluate the product. Plat ego for any age? Not impossible but hardly likely for many younger guys. I also don’t think it’s appropriate for almost any cordial evening setting and neither do I believe that it’s been intended as that. I think he’s describing more so the signature scent properties because that’s what it is for him. Sorry bro, but not every day is Bateman day.

Equally men no longer find those same women attractive, or vise versa. This effect can be so strong it's been linked to divorce. Hormones and their secretion are important.

This is the olfactory portrait of a man with white socks and a can of sporty deodorant - I'm not sporty, so I feel like an imposter wearing this - the top notes seem generic, boring and cheap. The middle, base and dry down are much better. This is a man hopping into a sports car to go and play tennis, whereas I prefer the classic Pour Monsieur, where he slides into a Bentley to go to the private airstrip, en route to Paris for dinner. A safe crowd-pleaser, happy to smell it on someone else, but doesn't quite gel with me.
