Classic all-rounder

The fragrance I bought especially for my first day at my new job. I'd had a sample of Allure lying around for a while. Also from the Allure Homme Édition Blanche Eau de Parfum, which I found even better in the fragrance at the first test, but which unfortunately and with great PITY only lasts 20 minutes on me, also very close to the body.
The Allure Homme Eau de Toilette is a "grown-up" fragrance for me. It doesn't fit in with being a teenager and is also a little too thick for the 20s - or rather, it's not. It impresses with its understatement, seems mature, mature and as if it is a matter of course for the wearer to put on this fragrance in the morning - a signature fragrance.
It has a mature freshness, which is probably represented in the fragrance pyramid by the pepper and acorn moss, but also has certain, albeit rounded, corners - an exclusive mass appeal, so to speak. But ultimately, according to my interpretation of the development, Allure is the perfume that represents the transition from the "tougher" men's fragrances of the 1980s and early 1990s to the mass-appeal boring fragrances of the eyebrow-raising 2000s. Malicious tongues claim that it smells "old" or "like an old man". I can't agree with that - depending on what is considered "old" :) I'm probably a bit young for my early 30s, but I still really like it! The fragrance offers me a more serious alternative to Boss Bottled Eau de Toilette with a little more authority, which I also like to wear in the office.
For me personally, it's the perfect companion for important appointments or for occasions where I want a little confidence boost.

But I don't want to indulge too much and praise it, I enjoy it too much that it lives in an undeserved shadowy existence behind the Allure Homme Sport Eau Extrême and the Allure Homme Sport Eau de Toilette and is therefore worn comparatively rarely.

Important for my rating: I have rated the sillage at 10. This does not mean that you can still smell the fragrance in the cabin when I used the elevator 2 hours ago, but that it perfectly suits the occasion. In my use case "office": close to the body, not intrusive, pleasant.
