Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême Chanel 2012

It opens with an outstanding blend of mint and citrus, where the mandarin gently comes to the fore in the background. Don’t expect a citrus explosion or a mint candy. The top note is really very balanced and extraordinarily pleasant. I perceive very little from the heart note; instead, the top note lingers relatively long, lasting even up to two hours for me. After that, the scent transforms into a creamy aroma with a hint of woods. The scent progression is very nice and is a true all-rounder. Definitely suitable for sports, but also for a gray day at the office or a sunny day in the city. The fragrance really works for any occasion and is a great base for a collection. The sillage is not too strong and not intrusive, and the longevity is okay. Hardly anyone will be put off by this scent. It conveys freshness and lightness, almost having an ethereal quality. I can still perceive the base notes after a long workday, though up close. So, the longevity is okay. All in all, a clear recommendation for me!
