Fall rendezvous (with your dream man, in his chunky sweater)
UPDATE: reserve judgment on this until the dry-down (45 minutes) - that's where it really shines!
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême stirred my chili, fanned my flames... whatever you want to call it, this made me feel "some type of way"! While it's not something I'd personally wear, I would LOVE to smell this on a significant other.
**Notes Breakdown**
The citrus is only present in the opening. The mint, cypress, and clary sage were also very subtle background players to my nose. Catching a hint of the mint was lovely and brought in a barely-chilly nuance, and the clary sage (most present for the first 45 minutes-1 hour) served for a softly-earthy/dry-wood touch (almost like cedar).
But the most dominant notes to me in dry-down were the creamy tonka, soft pepper, and musky-woody notes - and they blended together like a warm, creamy, masculine, slightly-earthy/woodsy, subtly-spiced cinnamon hug. Just like a fall rendezvous with your dream man in his chunkiest sweater, get ready to melt... because this is irresistible in every way!!
**Projection**
Powerful; I had the tester strip on my coffee table several feet away and could smell it without any movement or airflow - not too loudly to be obnoxious, but plenty enough to entice
**Sillage**
Impressive; there was definitely an alluring trail wherever the tester strip moved - so @Mohashim's review is on-point (when he said "the magic truly lies in the scent trail – it's the kind that will turn heads")
**Longevity**
Exceptional; while its peak performance was probably in the first 10-12 hours, it continued to give lower mid-range strength even at 24 - and is still present on the tester strip a few days later
**Season**
Best for cooler weather, given the cozy/spiced/gourmand/woodsy vibe; would be perfect for fall or winter
