Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême is a Chanel fragrance signed by Jacques Polge and launched in 2012, taking the sporty theme of Allure Homme Sport further. Offered today as an eau de parfum, it is described by the house as a fragrance with aromatic and musky notes and an intense, carnal character, built around Italian mandarin, Moroccan cypress, white musk and Venezuelan tonka bean.
For Mark Behnke, of ÇaFleureBon, Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême succeeds where Allure Homme Sport left him cold, with an opening of sage and cypress and a well-used white musk.
What critics say
A pleasant surprise
Mark Behnke devoted a ÇaFleureBon review to Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême on April 4, 2012. A longtime admirer of Allure Homme, less inspired by Allure Homme Sport, he said he was surprised to enjoy this new variation so much.
He likes the opening, and in particular the way Jacques Polge uses sage and cypress.
White musk in the spotlight
The critic sees white musk as the center of the fragrance, in keeping with the idea of gliding associated with surfing. He acknowledges that many people are tired of white musk, but finds it well used here, with tonka bean rounding off its edges.
Mark Behnke compares the experience to a breathtaking ride with no risk of wiping out, as if Jacques Polge had smoothed out what he disliked in Allure Homme Sport. Chanel had supplied him with the bottle.
