Chanel Allure Homme

Chanel Allure Homme is the real designer fragrance, sold at most major retailers. When one of our partners carries it, a direct buy link shows up here. The "smells-like" alternatives below are for anyone who wants the profile for less.

Chanel Allure Homme reads as citrus, spicy, sweet, amber, woody, the coarse families Nordstrom (authorized Chanel retailer) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.
