Marine freshness for an elegant and fiercely tonic Allure. When a fragrance works wonderfully, why part with its magic formula? It was precisely for this reason that the house of Chanel once again created a new fragrance within its star men's fragrance line Allure Homme Sport, with Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême released in 2012.
The house of Chanel has always known how to offer fragrances of ultimate elegance and boundless charm. However, the arrival of Jacques Polge within the house came to shake up the legacy of N°5, building around this great classic new fragrances that were both more original and more innovative. Beyond feminine fragrances such as Coco, the perfumer would go on to offer men subtle fragrances between classic chic and innovative accords, exemplified by Egoïste, Antaeus, or indeed Allure pour Homme and its fine flankers such as Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême.
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême, the definitively modern iodized-woody air by Jacques Polge
Jacques Polge, who joined the house of Chanel in the 1980s, brought an absolutely modern air to the venerable and so elegant perfumery of Coco. Every fragrance composed by the house's dedicated perfumer breathes into our conquered nostrils a wind of refined elegance, while offering a rare olfactory richness and complexity.
Indeed, for Allure Homme, Jacques Polge afforded himself the privilege of composing a complex and rich fragrance in which allure is defined by multiple criteria. At times fresh and sparkling, at times woody and spicy, even gourmand, the man of Allure plays on his richness to better surprise us. Simply because allure is not defined by any one particular type but by many types of personality.
By essence, allure is multiple, in motion and therefore constantly reinterpreted. Jacques Polge for Allure Homme Sport white edition.
Thus Allure pour Homme, and then Allure pour Homme Sport, managed to distinguish themselves from their predecessors through multiple fragrant faces; Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême goes on to surf these fine facets while exploring the ocean depths with legendary Chanel grace.
Between oceanic and citrus freshness, Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême breathes an invigorating and intoxicating air
Jacques Polge has always affirmed his taste for blending genres, notably in favor of the marriage between natural raw materials and synthetic raw materials. A subject that often sparks debate within the closed circle of perfumers, but which for the Chanel master does not seem to be a drawback. A virtuoso exercise he proves by making Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême a perfect example of these different techniques that blend classic perfumery with major scientific advances.
Thus the Chanel perfumer uses, for Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême, the famous fresh note for which he holds a genuine passion, paired with the beauty of aromatic and citrus natural essences of great quality.
Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême thus rides the trend of fresh fragrances by offering, like its predecessors, top notes of mandarin blended with a sharp, sparkling cypress from Morocco. At the heart, the piquant black pepper remains, but the floral notes of Allure Homme disappear in favor of intense, animalic marine notes, as if to better immerse us in a crisp, refined wind of iodine. Finally, sandalwood and cedar bring us back down to earth after this plunge into icy waters, carrying us into deep and mysterious woods where coumarin envelops the senses, wrapped in a few gourmand notes of tonka bean.
