Crisp, fresh, and modernly made for the man on the move, Chanel Allure Homme’s body spray joins the rank of the ever popular fragrance line. 

In 1999 where men either smelt like aquatic-bombs (marine-like, salty, and “blue) or body sprays purchased on discount from supermarkets, Chanel had the grand idea of launching a fragrance named Allure. The draw however, and what many of its fans both young and old could agree on, was that it was luxurious. It had an opening blast of citrus, peach, and ginger that provided an iconic freshness (and also, would be copied by brands thereafter) before a heart of pepper and florals took over.

Its drydown however, and what is evident in the Chanel Allure Homme body spray upon its first spritz was a dry down that popularised the use of gourmand scents by men: vanilla, coconut, tonka, musk and just a small hint of sandalwood.

What one can consider with the Chanel Allure Homme body spray (we’ll talk about its flanker soon) is a product that places itself within the lives of the different men who use it. Its formula has been simplified — bergamot, vetiver, tonka bean, cistus labdanum, and black pepper — but it can be used in the locker room, as a touch-up throughout the day or even a pre-dinner spritz.

The kicker and what provides hydration (some might even feel a cooling sensation to keep things fresh) is Japanese green citrus extract, an ingredient developed by Chanel.

From the bathroom to the locker room, as a touch-up throughout the day or before heading out for the evening, the new ALLURE HOMME all-over sprays are the perfect partners for men on the move.


In a 100ml size, the Chanel Allure Homme body sprays fits into most bags and makes for beautiful table art when placed atop one. 


With the Chanel Allure Homme Sport All-Over Spray (it keeps to signature Chanel notes like a citrusy opening, a creaminess courtesy of tonka bean, and aldehyde-like white musk), the flanker keeps it fresher: a crispness that can possibly last till the next day.
