Any lucky winner from here?

Lol mai.. interesting to enter.. no luck for me..
Anyone from this community?

Hey guys, I bought my perfume yesterday. Didn't settle for Chanel de Bleu, got the Chanel Allure Homme Edition instead, anyone care to share some reviews? I got it because I like how light the scent was after a period of time..

Photo attached with the post. Feel free to share your thoughts. I kinda felt Chanel de Bleu was too strong for me..

Nice haul bro..
Nv tried this scent.. However,I like Chanel Allure Homme Sport ( Regular Version ).

Congratulation on your new purchase. I own a bottle of it and I love it. Compared to Bleu de Chanel (which is a little synthetic), this one IMHO, is the most natural lemon cream pie scent one can get. It's rumored to be discontinued two years ago, it's still widely available in Malaysia today. I wear this when I'm the best man or to a wedding ceremony.

My recent hauls. Bought APlS with Isetan gift vouchers (RM50+RM50) and the book from MPH with 15% off (store-wide promotion).

Wow.. Impressive and nice haul bro..
More and more fragrance added in ur collection.
And share with us fraghead how the scent after test-drive.
Curious what the book about fragrance..

> Decoding a century of provocative perfume...

Nice purchase u got there.... well BdC was my 1st chanel blind buy which i like it and even got compliments from young married ladies incense and grapefruit make it very safe office scent... Allure series... i prefer this one :-



Pure Citrus juice heaven... so natural and it comes in 150ml bottle... it is a cheaper version of Chanel Eau de Cologne Les Exclusif... i also like AHS and EB just that they are a tad too sweet for my likings...

Once again bro... your haul is the vouchers really help save alot le.... APLS is the most unique scent from MFK... but then i am still not good enuf to wear it...

Im curious with the content of the book... what is it abt? do a brief summary review can ar hehe

Oh, I had a tester for that. It was too strong for me :/.

Thanks . Why the discontinuation? It's actually 20bucks pricier than Chanel de Bleu. This was the closest thing to the kind of scent I'd want to find. Seeing as how this bottle is so darn expensive, I wonder if I should use this on a daily basis. I'm not a perfume person so I usually just buy one and use the it daily until it finishes. Shall I just save this for important occasions and go perfume-free on normal days?

Hello there, can you please comment on the sillage and longevity of the perfume?
I'm still torn between getting either the Allure Homme Sport or this beauty right here, thanks mate!

I had a tester for the Homme Sport, I guess maybe I didn't wait around long enough to truly judge for Homme Sport, the high note of the perfume turned me off so I didn't bother waiting for the base note to settle in :/... I'll bear in mind to look for Homme Sport next time.

Eh.. according to the girl I bought from, she mentioned it can last for all day. I'm not sure. scent-wise.. I can't believe you're asking me to describe it LOL. I am the worst person you can possibly ask about perfumes.. To me, it doesn't smell lemony, it just has a refreshing, subtle smell. I'm sure if the word "soap" would appeal to you, but that's what the scent is, except much fragrant and not overpowering. If someone passed me by with that scent, the first word that comes in to my mind would probably be refreshing and just really fresh. Reason why I didn't get Bleu de Chanel was only because it smelled too much like the perfume that my brother used and I wanted to avoid confusion.

Eh no, I just wanted to know the projection and how long the perfume will last.
It'll last all day?, hurm I'll take the salesgirl's word for it then hehe thanks mate

Never trust the sales girl...

Just try it on your skin.. Performance varies by individual..

I think Allure Homme Blanche Edition is more of a sillage than projection. That's just my personal opinion.

But, but, why would she lie, lol jk
The thing is I usually blind buy my frags based on recommendations and reviews, without even trying them on my skin (yeah I know, please don't flame me ahaha),
thankfully I'm happy with all my purchases so far.

But maybe this time I'll give it a try

guys... where do you ppl buy perfume from??
any cheap and authentic seller/onlineshop???

Test drive today- tobacco vanille...
kinda remind me of herod..but less sweet.

The book "Scent and Subversion" is all about classic/vintage fragrances made from year 1882 to 2000. It's a good reference book for those curious about it and classic/vintage amateur alike. It's basically printed copy of author's blog, yesterdaysperfume.com with added chapters on animalic notes (which you can also find at perfumeshrine.com), future of scent and some tips. With that said, like the book "Cult Perfumes", it makes a nice coffee table book and for personal preference, I still prefer to read from a book. If you wish to take a sneak peek, Amazon provides preview pages at :-

👍👍👍

It's a little pricier because it's a concentree (or EdP). Not sure why the rumored discontinuation. The folks in US started it. Probably it's no longer commonly available there but I still see it listed on chanel.com :-

Here are some of the threads that started the discontinuation :-

AHEB has moderate projection for the first couple of hours on my skin then turns into skin scent after 4th hour and disappears after 6 hours. I'll save it for special occasions if it's expensive.
