Allure Homme Sport 
Chanel (2004)

If you love the smell when you sample this one, just go for it. I made the mistake of buying Versace Pour Homme, which has that citrus, but lacks the creaminess which made it feel balanced.

The Eau Extreme Version has some similarities, but the aquatic vibe is overshadowed by the Tonka and reminds me of Le Male DNA. I finally settled on Missoni Wave which combines AHS and Versace Pour Homme, but it still cannot replicate the creaminess. I will stick with Missoni Wave since it scratches my itch for an aquatic scent, but I would have just went straight for AHS if I could restart my fragrance journey.

Projection and sillage is moderate. It's good enough to last a work day, so there's not much to complain about. Some might call it boring, but this will still be one of my favourites from the Chanel designer line.

Chanel Allure Homme Sport Review

This is an interesting one. This was one of the first fragrances I bought when I was starting my collection. I thought it was a solid, but uninteresting fragrance. It smelled inoffensive and clean. I went years without picking up my bottle. I never had any desire to wear it. At one point, I seriously considered selling it. I'm very glad I didn't. Here's why...

AHS opens with a really nice orange note. This transitions to a fresh and clean neroli mid. Finally, the fragrance enters into a dry down comprised of a vanilla, tonka bean, and musk mixture.

Yes, it's true that this isn't the most challenging fragrance. My initial impressions of this being clean and inoffensive aren't inaccurate per say. That being said, this also smells really good. AHS has definitely grown on me over time. You can't go wrong with this one. It's perfect for any occasion and at any time of year.

Some of you are probably wondering if you should choose this or the eau extreme version. Obviously, sampling is the best way to determine this. I'll say that I currently prefer this version. This has a more balanced dry down to my nose. The vanilla, tonka bean, and musk combination really works. I find eau extreme to be much more tonka heavy. If that's your thing, absolutely go for it. You can't go wrong with either.

I'll also note that this performs way better on my skin than it used to. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the aging of my bottle. I do have an older version of this. All I know is that I used to get average performance and now, with only one spray, this lasts much longer on my skin.

A beatifully composed fresh scent that smells very clean and professional. Received compliments in close encounters due to the projection not too powering on me. A good work scent that will not offend others. Did not regret buying this one.
