Better alternatives to Chanel Allure Homme Sport and Eau Extreme

[ScentAccord]

I really love these two scents.
Allure Homme Sport Chanel
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme Chanel

But the performance is a hit or miss and I can't bother hunting vintage bottles. Is there any better alternative to these, with a similar scent profile. Orange, Mint, Tonka, Sea Notes etc. Niche is also fine.

 

[Nayrobi]

would also interest me !
but for those two Allure ... just spray more .. (layer) unscented bodylotion on the parts you apply (assume neck) and 2-3 sprays on the same spot
also on your shirt and your inner elbows cheers!

Versace Pour Homme and Xerjoff Uden are sort of similar.

 

[Ken_Russell]

Quite a few great options already.

Hugh Parsons Blue is for instance darker but still with a rather bracing type of citrus freshness, just with some additional juniper and incense-however still very clean, inoffensive, non edgy-way.
Same with the Caron pour un Homme flankers Sport/l'Eau but with more sharp lavender-minty freshness.

And since Uden was mentioned, same with at least some of the fresher options in the Shooting Stars range from the Xerjoff house, including Modoc, Kobe, Dhofar and/or Oesel.

Why not just spray more until you get the desired result?

Aventus Cologne has a similar vibe. Amyris Homme hits a few of the same notes as well.

Maybe try Edition Blanche which adds a creamy lemon to the Allure Homme base.

The other option is Dior Homme Sport. I can’t speak to more recent formulations but I have 2008 and 2014 and both are great and similar to AHS.

Dior Homme Cologne and Versace Pour Homme also give similar vibes. I’m sure there’s a lot of other fragrances that give the sporty vibe too with better performance but this is a start for you.

It would be considered silly to suggest Bleu de Chanel at this point. The EdT, followed by the EdP. Skip the Parfum.

Silly, but I suggested them.

Versace Pour Homme way cheaper and more aquatic compared to the Chanel Allure Homme Sport or even simply get Missoni Wave last way longer compared to all of this fragrances and gets crazy compliments

I'd go with Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche as well.

This would also be a viable alternative IMO.

A better option and far more versatile.

All your problems are solved with Xerjoff Uden

 

[Nayrobi]

Uden ist like the Niche Version of the orginal Allure Homme .. i was once a big fan of Xerjoff, but the prices are just not appropriate for me anymore.
i dont want to spend at least 100 Euros for the packaging alone. the scents are not worthy of 5 Euros/ml

for the sweeter vibe you are asking (in regards to Allure Sport & Extreme) i could recommend Guerlain L´Homme Ideal Intense and Extreme

 

[rum]

I have no performance issues with either of these.

But I agree Edition Blanche is a good alternative, as is the original Allure Homme EdT.

spray more - get more that is my credo

 

[NickZee]

These are both best in class so it will be difficult to do better. What you may want to do is spray more or wait for your bottles to macerate for a year.

This. I have found these four in the line to be full bottle worthy.

But it comes with a piece of a meteorite!

After all the talk of Edition Blanche yesterday I ended up making it my SOTN and it's really nice. It's missing the aquatics of Allure Homme Sport but the lemon still makes it feel like it's perfectly wearable in warmer weather and it has the same body that the allure homme line uses. Performance is outstanding, it's still there the next morning, so if you find AHS lacking Performance wise then for sure give Edition Blanche a try.

A lot of people compare Edition Blanche to L'humaniste and that's why I originally blind bought my bottle. It kind of disappointed me from that experience because they're just not the same thing at all, not even near, so my bottle stand unused for years. Going back to it recently without the association to L'humaniste really allows it to shine on its own. It's a really good fragrance that has great performance.

 

[kreteknose]

Do the Versace Eros flankers belong in this conversation?

 

[freewheelingvagabond]

Based on whatever I've tried from Xerjoff in the past 2-3 years, almost all of them are over the top synthetic and aren't as well blended as even the regular Chanels.

 

[Varanis Ridari]

Everyone shouts

Uden!
Uden!

For me, it wasn't a fave, but Missoni Wave would be a good swap-in for Allure Homme Sport.

The Eau Extrême is a bit of a ubique one, so I can't think of a 1 for 1 swap. If you like that vanilla woody tonka under the bubblegum soap accord, maybe Varvatos JV x NJ XX?

Here's a very different but better alternative - my SOTD, blended to perfection by Edouard Fléchier

sorry couldn't help it

By the way what is the difference between these two? For some reason Extreme smelled more flat last time I tried the pair.
