The irrational
As a true millennial, I felt like I had been transported back to my childhood when I had just freed the packaging of this fragrance from its plastic wrap, full of anticipation. This passion for collecting, this high-quality looking cardboard box with the logos that are so familiar and well-known, the slightly guilty conscience that mixes with the anticipation, as it is clear that I have paid a little too much for what I am unpacking - that's when it clicked! Are perfumes the Pokemon cards of yesteryear for us millennials?
That was more or less the thought that went through my head as I set about examining the simple but stylish bottle. (Does anyone else feel the same? :D)
Anyway! Here we are, 33 years old and still not tired of it. The Allure Homme Édition Blanche Eau de Parfum is a flanker to the Allure Eau de Parfum and is therefore suitable for collectors alone. Chanel always works!
Back in time: As I like to use what I buy, I had to test it first. And what can I say? All the reviews, regardless of the platform, are right! This thing doesn't hold! After less than an hour, the scent of the sample was gone. No fragrance residue close to the skin for more intimate moments, no remaining fragrance molecules that have matured further due to the sprayed-on fragrance - it's simply gone.
Why should you buy something like this? Especially as it's not necessarily the cheapest fragrance.
Because it's so good! So fresh, creamy, sweet and delicious! It's not overpowering, but shines with understatement. Perfect for spring through to warm July days. I have often read the comparison to a lemon tart and yes, it smells like a freshly baked lemon tart with meringue. Simply too good to justify rationally. After a while, the freshness fades into the background and the soft creaminess becomes a little more dominant.
I kept the sample in my cupboard for a long time, taking it out from time to time and applying it. I gave it so many chances, but it never wanted to stay for long.
The search for dupes or alternatives was unfortunately unsuccessful. So what to do?
Then it was the end of April - my birthday was coming up and I wanted to give myself a present. I wanted to wear a special fragrance on my day - after all, boozy birthdays don't come around every year. So I took heart and bought the piece via Chanel's online store. And now I'm standing there, a little proud despite the irrational purchase, spraying it on. And what can I say? It was still worth it. I even think the fragrance from the original bottle lasts a little longer and smells "richer" than the one in the tester.
The main thing is: I like it and I wear it! Even if it's not always rationally justifiable - it wasn't a bad purchase.
I like it very much :)

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) | Chanel", which I found even better in the fragrance at the first...
