Decanted Sample of Allure Homme Edition Blanche EDP by Chanel

This reminds me so much of my experience with Mugler Cologne. I read about lemon meringue pie, and imagined this would be a go-to summer scent when I wanted to smell clean, fresh and slightly sweet. This one starts off really nice (unlink Mugler which is bitter all the way through), with the lemon hitting you hard but a bit of sweetened shining through to offer hope of consistency throughout the experience. But upon dry-down, Edition Blanche loses any sweetness, the vanilla is not present, and the vetiver shines through. I missed that this scent had a vetiver base note, which would have clued me in that the dry-down might be quite bitter. Indeed, it is.

Because I detected zero vanilla, this was just a bright, clean and bitter lemon vetiver, much like Mugler Cologne was a bright, clean and bitter green soap. People rave about this one, though, and if you like typical fresh summer scents, you might love this one. Over time, I've realized that I like a little sweetness or fruitiness in my summer fragrances, so this wasn't it for a brotha.

Oh man do I love this one. Only thing stopping it from getting 5 stars is it loses power FAST. You're gonna have to overspray the hell out of yourself if you want to be noticed after a couple hours and even then carry a travel spray with you.

Very lemony for a long while and dies down but I can’t smell much vanilla.

Super creamy lemon, citrus scent. I think it is great, the only thing holding me back is that I think BDC Parfum does something sort of similar, especially in the opening, but with better performance. This is cheaper though and maybe a little less powerful so better for the summer.

Very nice opening but the dry down is kinda boring and the performance is pretty bad.  

Nice scent - lovely citrus on the opening, dries down to a smooth vanilla. Unfortunately, it doesn't have great longevity - a few hours at best. Xerjoff Uden has a similar scent profile and much better performance, so I decided to purchase that instead and am very happy.

This smells great. Just doesn't smell great long enough. Maybe 5 hours, maybe? If you want this DNA with better staying power and a lil better quality, try Xerjoff Uden. You won't be disappointed at all

This is also my favorite in the Allure Homme line, followed by the OG. This one offers a powerful lemon note supported by a subtle fluffy sweetness and some soft sandalwood. Easy reach for me.

I've tried the original Allure Homme, Eau Extreme, and now this. This is by far the best-smelling one in my opinion. I do however think the performance isn't as good as the Eau Extreme, and it's pretty light overall.

Very floral. I had ordered a few sets to test out and see what I liked and I think this was my favorite. The only downside is that it seems to fade away early.

I get creamy oranges, very good but hard to justify the price tbh

Nice opening with a lemon merengue kinda scent, my only qualm is that the smell does not last long.

It smells decent but not what I was expecting from a chanel fragrance. The opening is pretty synthetic and cleaner like. The dry down is better but not blended very well. The lemon and vanilla kinda clash.

I wanted to like this one but it's forgettable. I sprayed inside the cap and never bothered wearing it. It may be pleasant, but not interesting.

Tart Lemon blast to start. Good summer thats a bit different. Wish it lasted longer

The opening is almost pure lemon. But a very fresh, tart one. Smells delicious.

If you’re familiar with Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, it has a similar creamy note in it too. Drys down more vanillas. Great spring/summer scent.

A refreshing summer fragrance starts with a very strong lemonade and touch of creaminess. Performance is average. Its good but didnt wow me considering how much hype this gets

This is an alright scent. It lasts awhile and projects nicely like most Chanel scents do but all I could smell was lemon.

I love this one, just wished it lasted longer. More citrusy vanilla version of the ahs eau extreme. Its not sweet, just classy and great for anytime.

Great cold lemonade smell. Tart. Slighty sweet. Summer essential. 8/10

This is a great fragrance for someone who is looking for a summer fragrance, and want’s something outside of the typical “blue” fragrance selection. If you are a fan of lemon, you’ll love this fragrance, and has a nice vanilla undertone while remaining wearable in the heat.

The most mellow offering in the Allure Homme line, and also the most unisex. As others often say, the performance is very lackluster, though the scent itself is quite exquisite. But, you're better off trying Allure Homme Sport or Intense for some better power.

very citrusy(8/10), floral(3/10), slight sting (1/10), no pepper,
Its a nice scent, nothing offputting to me. But its very unoffending, maybe for iffice use, but i'd like a bit more manly scent
- it has an earthy, greenish scent to it.
- i prefer Versace man eau fraiche more
- its basically bleu de chanel

This stuff smells intoxicating...I love the line, and the creamy lemon thing this has going doesn't disappoint. Shame it lasts about an hour on the skin...
