The daily lemming

Well sure, I'll take two: "The unique, elegant fragrance of ALLURE HOMME ÉDITION BLANCHE in a gently cleansing shower gel." $40 for 200 ml at Chanel.

    I have this! It’s really nice (as you would expect) and I especially enjoy it for a shower in the summer. The scent lingers on the skin for awhile as well.

        Wait. Robin, this is your favorite modern Chanel for anybody? Wow. I don’t know why, but I would have guessed that you preferred one of the Exclusifs!

        I guess that I need to try this!

          Oh, ok — I meant it’s my favorite mainstream / easily available Chanel! I do prefer some of the Exclusifs. I’m sorry for not speaking more carefully!

            And, to now be VERY careful, by modern I mean something like the last 20 years? Because I’d also pick the original 1974 Cristalle over AHEB.

            I just basically don’t like anything much that Chanel has issued as a mainstream / non-niche fragrance since I’ve started blogging. I am not a huge fan of what Jacques Polge has done other than this one and the original Egoiste (and everything has been reformulated so Egoiste and Cristalle are not the same anyway).

            I get why Chanel works so hard to safeguard the brand, but at the same time, I think it stifles their creativity in fragrance — they cannot feel free to do what they like. I don’t think it’s a surprise that the best they’ve done in recent memory are flankers, where perhaps they felt a more able to be a bit creative — AHEB & Coco Mad.

    I’ve never heard the love for this one until last week but now I’m excited to try it!

    This scent gets a lot of love among the male basenoters, need to give it a sniff.
