What a great citrus scent. Unsweet, fresh, and invigorating. Very similar to "Dior Homme Cologne (2013) | Dior," just with better longevity and sillage! Here, you really can't complain about a fresh and citrusy cologne that doesn't smell synthetic at all. Chanel makes incredibly great men's fragrances anyway, and in my opinion, this one is also wearable by women if you like unsweet citrus freshies. Simply really beautifully citrusy and very refreshing! Slightly sour, slightly bitter, citrusy, fresh, clean! And all of that in a stylish, classic, and completely timeless way.
I find the scent to be the prototype of effortless chic. Cool, understated, and attractive. I've already ordered a decant and hope I can convince my friend to get a large bottle. I see Allure Homme Sport Cologne as a natural, well-groomed, and educated man. For example, the scent would be ideal for a doctor because it smells so clean and pleasant, discreet and confident. It's also perfect for the office, as the scent is simply made for a white shirt. But it's also wonderful for leisure, although I already find it (casual) chic, so maybe not necessarily for sweatpants. Moreover, you can hardly overspray "Allure Homme Sport Cologne | Chanel," you won't annoy anyone with it, not everyone wears it, even though it's a designer fragrance and, in my opinion, also a great crowd-pleaser. Together with Terre d'Hermès Eau Givrée and "Platinum Égoïste (Eau de Toilette) | Chanel," it belongs to my top 3 designer men's fragrances!

Black silk blouse, black trousers, stilettos, golden hoops, and Libre Intense - a match made in heaven. One of my favorite designers and definitely the most beautiful Libre. I don't find the regular Libre that special, and I enjoy smelling Le Parfum on others, but it's too much for me. The Intense is beautifully feminine and warming. Exactly the right mix of sexy, embracing, and classy. Depending on the dosage, it's great for both day and night. Longevity and sillage are excellent, and I also find the bottle very chic. Of course, it's a fragrance that many wear, and you have to live with that, but I still find the scent special, and in my opinion, it stands out from the designer segment for women. I've even gotten a large backup bottle in case it gets reformulated or discontinued, because the other Libre flankers just don't appeal to me and therefore are not alternatives.

I also see a ballerina in this fragrance, as has been aptly described here. I think this is because Chance Eau Tendre smells very feminine, delicate, and classic, but in a young, fresh way. Radiant, clear, and friendly. Not playful (after all, it’s still a Chanel!), but also not too serious. It feels very clean, like freshly washed hands with an expensive soap. Not like the soap itself, but like the fresh hint afterwards. Chance Eau Tendre has something flawless, innocent about it. Nothing stands out too much, nothing is annoying, nothing scratches. It is not extraordinary in the true sense, but so well balanced that it is indeed special. Perhaps a fragrance whose beauty one only fully recognizes at a second glance.

Here, the name says it all. If you're looking for a fragrance with prominent patchouli that is not too sharp, not too earthy, and beautifully warm and soft, you should definitely check out Patchouli Vanille. It is a beautifully rounded scent with patchouli and a very cozy, fluffy vanilla, both of which take center stage here. Cozy and gentle, soft and friendly. I definitely find it unisex. At first, I find the patchouli a bit more prominent, but over time, perhaps the vanilla stands out a bit more, yet both notes always set the tone for me and unite into a successful, harmonious symbiosis. Truly a great, timeless fragrance at a very fair price. The scent character also reminds me of Guerlain's Cuir Beluga. I think those who enjoy fragrances with this or a similar scent character, but do not want to spend too much money, could take a look at Patchouli Vanille. While it is an independent fragrance and simpler, it's not in a bad way, and it does indeed go in a similar direction for me.

Fortunately, a dear perfumer included a small sample of Desert Rosewood with my purchase of a decant, otherwise I might never have discovered this unique, wonderful scent. There are many fragrances that I wouldn’t wear, and still more that I find really great, but then there are rarely scents that truly touch me, that evoke memories. And this is one of those. Desert Rosewood smells to me like a healed world, like security, like everything is alright. It reminds me of the feeling when my mother would light an oil lamp in the autumn. And of the scent of a small farm shop where I went with my mother as a child, of days spent at the spa, and of my aunt’s yoga room. A truly unique, sweet, woody-warm, naturally smelling fragrance. Invigorating and relaxing at the same time. It awakens memories, lets me dream, and is so positive and beautiful. My Zen scent!
