Decanted Sample of Allure Homme Sport EDT by Chanel

I initially loved this scent so much that I almost bought it from a local store a day after smelling it on a test strip and my skin. Thankfully, I discovered the world of decants and ordered up a bunch, including Allure Homme Sport (AHS), and took the time to truly judge it.

After spraying on both sides of my neck and elbow crease, I smiled at how lovely this fragrance smells. It is outstanding, and despite the fact that I ended up deciding against buying a bottle of this one, I will always understand how it received rave reviews. My issue is that the dry-down uncovered the aquatic/marine notes, which for some reason make me feel physically ill. It's almost as if I have gotten sea sick in the past and thus have a negative auto-reaction to marine scents. All I know is that when I began to smell the marine/aquatic notes mixed with the vanilla, I knew I wouldn't be moving forward with a purchase.

If you like marine/aquatic notes, you are going to LOVE this, especially as a summer scent. But, I think it is much more versatile than that, and would personally wear it year-round if it worked for me. If you're on the fence about this one, try it for sure! It's popular for a reason!

Great, fresher and more citrusy than the AHS Eau Extreme
