Thanks but to be clear, I am still surprised and confused as to why Chanel would do a collab for a perfume in general since they never did such a thing before. They might be testing the waters for more of this sort of perfume collab directions in the future. Plus they made this version cost more than their other edp allure flankers which worries me. They are pushing the prices up again and testing to see how far they can take it in my opinion. Not cool imo.
I'm in the UK London and I sampled it in the chanel store it was okay, not bad fragrance from mr polge but i still ended purchaseing a bottle of pour monsieur for the heat wave we are having as i love pour monsieur and my bottle was down to less than 10ml
I tested this a few days ago. I thought the woody/patchouli dry down was quite beautiful, it had a “Italian leather but it’s not leather” accord I couldn’t put my finger on. It’s heartening to see the brand invest in a line which is already over 20 years old.
Ooooooh! I just got my younger brother Allure Homme Sport Extreme (he's one of those people who has one/maybe two fragrances), and he loved it...hoping this new one is released widely enough for me to grab a bottle!
No idea what the collaboration means but it feels very unisex with all that patchouli. I’ll certainly add this to my collection if it becomes available here. None of my male family members wear Allure (yet ;)) I have a few Chanel watches. I most frequently wear the larger men’s J12 but I do have the premiere watch which they have just relaunched along with a couple of others. Im glad that you mentioned repair as a couple need to go in for battery replacement. I’m kinda happy to see that this special edition is manual. That’s perfect for the occasional wearer. I’m surprised that there isn’t any gemstone decoration on a 45k watch (black diamond markers or somesuch would’ve been nice.)
I love the look of the bottle. Could do without the logo at the bottom. I’m hoping it will smell like a cross between AHS and Dior Homme Sport minus the lemon. The men’s Chanel watches give free gift with purchase so I don’t know why anyone would spend almost $50 k on it. Sporty watches shouldn’t be priced more than 5 k at most. IMO I like the elegance of a rectangle watch, particularly that of Cartiers tank watches which are still priced fairly for now.
I was surprised by how Italian this was. It reminded me a lot of K by D&G. It’s not bad but not amazing. It definitely wears more like an EDT than a EDP. I wouldn’t know if it was a Chanel perfume if I didn’t look at the bottle. The only thing that makes this Chanel to me are the aldehydes but other than that it has the least Chanel DNA within a Chanel perfume. With that being said I think it still has a place in the lineup. It’s probably the most modern mens Chanel perfume. It’s closest to Allure eau extreme but made cool fresh than creamy fresh. What I realized with Chanel’s men’s fragrances is that they don’t make playful perfumes for men. Theyre basically like you’re only going to get masculine fragrances and you’re going to like it. If I was the business type who exudes masculinity and has a six pack with slightly bulging but toned biceps then I would get this but I’m not. Also I wouldn’t pay more than $90 for this especially with that synthetic opening.
Thats some great points you bring to the table MMM! I think the most playful Chanel perfume marketed to men is Egoïste. I love it to bits. But Pour Monsieur and Antaeus are also favorites of mine. All the post y2k era chanel perfumes do not do it for me personally even though I recognize their material quality. As for superleggera… I will be reviewing it soon enough 😉💖
I’m not getting my hopes up that it will be much different than AHS Cologne. I agree with your opinion about people associating the perfume with the watch. So bizarre all around!
Hey friend 🤗 Olivier might be trying to tip toe in the male territory, it may be a masculine Gabrielle... like a new Chanel area for men's fragrances too. So, let's give it a try!😊 Love you ❤❤❤❤
I will most certainly get a bottle just not sure it will be full blown head over heels in love type of love but who knows… I am always open for it to happen haha 💖💖💖
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 Scheduled to arrive on the 7th will let you know 😄 From what ive heard it's close to Allure home sport but more creamy and musky
Actually,superleggiera was attached in that font on the hood of Conneryes aston db5,waaay back in the days....so it has a pretty long tradition and sport heritage....interestimg collab....
There's another new Maison Margiela Replica fragrance coming out soon. It's called Afternoon Delight, and it's a gourmand. I love those Replica fragrances, so I'm really excited about that!
Oh the whole "Collab" thing for Chanel is so cringe I think. What are they doing over there? 😢 Anyway, I smelled Gabrielle Leau yesterday, saturated myself with it. They had no samples.. Anyhow, I thought it was lovely as you said in your review. I sprayed a lot on my clothes, so lasted a while that way, and, suprisingly, on my wrists I could still smell that lovely drydown later into the evening on my skin. Thanks as always for your review of the "man" ( though we know frags know no gender) perfume. I really am not a fan of any of of the "Man" perfumes, except the fabulous Pour Monsieur! Such a masterpiece ❤❤❤❤
So glad you enjoyed Gabrielle L’Eau Patrice 🥰💖💫 As for the new “man”… I will give it a go and test it out to see where it takes me… so we shall see. I am however not expecting much to be hones but not expecting much does allow me to be less disappointed haha. As for their male offerings, I too put Pour Monsieur edt on first place followed by Egoiste edt and Antaeus and also Allure Homme edt (the original). 🥰
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 thanks for your reviews it’s so hard looking at everything online I’m in the country well out back in Australia, the boutiques are far away… so instead of taking a gamble I brought a perfume kit (proper chemistry set up) instead. Going to let you know how I got with the blends and if it’s a good kit. Thanks for your reviews
Thank you Thomas. 💖💫 The collaboration concept in perfumes is new to Chanel and it does come off as tacky to me too but who knows, maybe this is opening some new doors with more experimentations in the future? Probably not, but one can dream. Haha
There are a few different models. Yes. I just highlighted the one to make a point about this perfume. After all, this is a perfume channel and not a watch or car channel so I also wonder why Chanel would do a car ad on a perfume… haha
Except some of us respect the timings of the brands and do not reveal leaked intel that the brands do not want leaked. You should learn a thing or two about respect before you blabber away.
About the feminine form of the word; in many historic and ancient cultures respected and worthwhile things get feminine essence and form for example many countries and lands name have feminine form like America, Persia, frankia, Italia. However in this case chanel has designed and released it modern, which means they wanted to elevate identity of the brand superledgera with help of chanel the great reputation. I wish wouldn't downfall of chanel however I have no hope.
So you think Chanel was trying to do Superleggera a favor by making a perfume with their name on it? But why would they want to do that? Are they buying the company maybe?
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 It's difficult to say, we know they don't need to take money from these kinda brands or even they don't need to buy them. In this era being noble and origin is condemned unfortunately, people respect low quality copy cats and blame noble brands. Even brilliant brands try to lose their originality to be popular. I think chanel wants to be a pop brand by this decision, wants to grab attention of ordinary nonprofessional people. Chanel wants to adapt itself to this ridiculous era. You know. Most of great fashion and fragrance brands lose their heritage and persona sfter death of their founder and get confused to choose right and wrong.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 i think they aren't buying ut, when you want to buy something you try to buy it cheap. Actually they even don't need to buy it. it's difficult to say. But we know in this era novelty and originality is condemned unfortunately, people respect low quality copy cats and blame original brands. I think chanel wants to become a pop brand, wants to grab attention of ordinary nonprofessional people. Probably Chanel wants to adapt itself to this lost era. As many good brands did. It seems chanel wants to become similar to brands like Ferrari, popular, shiny and absurd. You know. Most of brilliant brands loses their heritage and persona after death of the founder and get culturally confused. Chanel did a great great job to last till this and unfortunately it seems its fall is coming. It was one of few last standing brands. Maybe we will have to prepare ourselves for a sad farewell to chanel.
Totally out of the blue… but you know Chanel the legacy better than me aspirational peasant. 😂 I was in shook when I clicked on your video. I guess that Chanel want to connect with the Italian market. I like the nuance that you gave about the surname of the perfume. …rewatch crew!! 🩶😃
8:24 I agree with you, it will create FoMo like crazy on the grey marked. Fingers crossed that the patchouli is ‘natural’ enough, deep (Aromatics Elixir style) and I look forward for the citruses & the Aldehydes🥰 thank you for telling us first hand about this [wonderfull] news. Take care of yourself, Dacob 💖
Bravo! You actually researched the Suoerlegerra logo instead of being so confused at to the name like other reviewers😂😊

Thanks so much for updating, Dacob ❤ I’m a female but big fan of Allure Homme Sport. I won’t miss out this and will let you know ka 😊 Happy weekend 🎉
Thank you Nathalie and happy weekend to you too 🥰💖

Yeah the price of that watch is insane in my opinion…
My SA told me she already have this fragrance this week. Hope to test it this weekend.
Fabulous! Let us know how you liked it once you have tested it 💖
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 im happy to report it wasnt as fresh as leau in pebble 😅 so i didnt buy it.
Hey there, Dacob. Is the Gardenia fragrance and the oil version new? I’m new to Chanel fragrances. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Patty, the Chanel Gardenia perfume is from the 1920’s. The Gardenia Oil is from 2024. Chanel now makes Gardenia edp, parfum and oil.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 thanks so much.

Watches in general just don’t do it for me at all. Haha. Except the whimsey of old-school swatch watches lol.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 I love watches. 😊

I am still having difficulties wrapping my head around is one because Chanel never made a perfume collaboration like this before… very bizarre…

Hello from India. Nice to see you. Allure superleggera - wanna have it. 🎉
Hey dear 💖

I absolutely adore the original Allure Homme. Allure Homme Sport is a bit basic for me... Maybe it's just me...
Allure Homme the original is indeed special to me too.
Great vid. Well researched & presented. 10/10
The frag will be a pass for me though. The whole thing just screams “tacky”
Thank you Thomas. 💖💫 The collaboration concept in perfumes is new to Chanel and it does come off as tacky to me too but who knows, maybe this is opening some new doors with more experimentations in the future? Probably not, but one can dream. Haha
Like in English, cars are female in Italian ( = machina). So, una machina superleggera would be a superlight car.
Sono molto conscio del fatto che la macchina sia femminile. Il mio punto era un altro. Il profumo è un sostantivo maschile, non femminile.
There are also J12 Superleggera watches.
There are a few different models. Yes. I just highlighted the one to make a point about this perfume. After all, this is a perfume channel and not a watch or car channel so I also wonder why Chanel would do a car ad on a perfume… haha
Available in Australia ❤
Just checked on the Australian CC website and its not a available for sale yet.
Breaking news that was announced a few months ago and that is already being reviewed lol
Except some of us respect the timings of the brands and do not reveal leaked intel that the brands do not want leaked. You should learn a thing or two about respect before you blabber away.
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 the fragrance was literally available for sale before you recorded this?
@@essence-tiallydacob9611 the level of narcissistic rage here instead of just accepting you’re late is crazy.
no not for me I love my swatch
I love my swatch too 🥰
❤
💖🎉💖
14:09 that watch is absolutely not worth 47,000.00$ - resale value will be superleggero and maybe 5,000.00 $ if lucky…
The price just feels so out of touch with reality to me…
