    I laughed uncontrollably for about five minutes the first time I saw the title of this new fragrance… Am I the only one?

      Sport + Extreme is funny, although unless you know that “sport” usually means watered down and “extreme” usually means stronger, it probably doesn’t seem so funny!

        ‘Sport’ and ‘Extreme’ made me giggle, but I lost it with the addition of the ‘Eau’ :)

    It’s ridiculous. But some poor schmucks must be buying all these Allure Homme flankers or the company would stop churning them out. Chanel really should just give it a rest already.

      Allure Homme Blanche or whatever it was called was excellent, so you never know!

        Keen nose you have there and agreed! Me thinks the flanker, in this instance, was MUCH better than the original! Still not my style of scent but Edition Blanche was pretty alright. How’s that for a half-a%# compliment?

    Chanel need to give up on the men’s market altogether.

    Bleu de Chanel was an uninspiring mush of ideas.

    And now this, ANOTHER Allure flanker.

    I won’t be rushing out to buy this one.

      I’m sure they don’t see it that way — Bleu is a huge seller! But I didn’t love it either.

      Bleu De Chanel Uninspiring Mush of Ideas? I must be on some other planet… I ADORE Bleu De Chanel and more than ANY Fragrance i wear (perhaps except Fahrenheit 32) i get the most compliments of people asking what is it i am wearing and how awesome the scent is… I Just have no idea what it takes to impress some people out there… but Chanel Bleu Impresses me AN IMMENSE Amount… Sheesh…

    Wouldn’t it be nice if Women’s scents were advertised this way for a change? Adventurous, rather than sexy (although I’m sure he’s a beautiful fella, but they aren’t focusing on it). When was the last time you saw a women’s product just about achieving something wonderful, like gracefully riding a wave?

    For sure Majorie..would be nice..don’t think it will happen anytime soon. We do have “women” lol, that are gracefully swinging on tree swings..urgh.

    I need to try that Allure Blanche, haven’t smelled that one.

    As for the Bleu..still mixed on that one. Sometimes it smells unisex to me? Like a little on the feminine side..I think I even smelled a Coco accord in there. Other times, it’s masculine. Something about the citrus notes in there turns me off a bit. I did like it a lot a first but then I really smelled it..like I said, the citrus. Might be the citrus/ginger combo..sometimes when ginger is in a scent..it can be a little off-putting for me I notice.
