@@MzHeather-904 it’s nice but it smells like a lot of other things that are less expensive and of the AHS line it’s the one people will flock to the least because of the drydown. The opening is amazing tho. But after this video a few other people you know in the review game I spoke to it seems to be the consensus across the board it’s good but will leave many wanting more
I got it in its smells like allure homme sport dried down but a little lighter and just refresh the page if it says coming soon just keep refreshing that's all but it's still a very pleasant fragrance
Randy, I ALMOST ordered this 10 days ago but have held off. I subsequently ordered a 2ml decant, which I have now tested twice. I STILL can't make my mind up about it. For me it's a musky take on the Sport. So instead of a sharp citrus, I get a cloud of musk, which takes away the bright citrus zing. The thing is, I generally prefer sharp citrus over musk, my exception being Narcisco Rodriguez Bleu Noir EDT and EDP. So, I'm not particularly moved by it. It's just nice. I might get it, but only to complete the line up....but is that a rational reason? Probably not.
@FragranceDOUD I would have to agree, Randy. It definitely loses the Allure Homme dna in the drydown. It smells the least like the others, so much so, that you wouldn't recognise it as an Allure flanker. My favourite from the line is actually the Cologne.
I completely agree with you. I blind bought this at the Chanel boutique in NYC (even though they had a tester) just because of the name. I am very disappointed. It’s definitely not a bad scent but it certainly doesn’t live up to the name. To me it smells like a $60 D&G Light Blue flanker.
I got so lucky I got it this past weekend. Went to Nordstrom and the rep said nope until September. Went to Macy boom they had it and I got it for 154 cause I got a discount. It’s not bad, good freshie for summer
I haven’t been this disappointed in a scent in a while. I wasn’t expecting anything groundbreaking, but I also wasn’t expecting Chanel to release something that could have come from any other brand over the last 10-12 years. If I were smelling this blindly my first thought would be “L’Oréal strikes again”
Nice for collection's sake I guess I can’t knock it until I try it but man I wish they made something more different for the line then again it’s a Chanel I’m sure it’s going to smell great nonetheless
Sounds like it's just going to be good but not amazing (imo). Kinda funny how this was deemed fake but all of the sudden HEY I AM HERE lol. Do you recall any other times that this has happened with past releases for designer fragrances? Just curious for your input I know I can just google it lol
I still need to try this. I def won’t buy it. Sounds good just maybe not for the price or for the long ass wait. But Chanel did that to themselves for failing to put anything relatively new out.
@@UNSCR1PTED well versace pour Homme was always compared to be the identical twin of the original allure homme sport and Missoni wave so while I agree (in the opening) I don’t feel it’s worth mentioning when I already compared AHS. With that said the drydown is nothing like either of them
I think it smells like greener aventus cologne without the birtch then turns to a musk fragrance. almost cheap smelling. not worth $200 but worth $120.
@@scottkamp8026 hmm I don’t get the Aventus Cologne piece but I did hear one other person say something similar but not Aventus cologne a similar style fragrance
@@flightgravity7483 yes exactly it just smells more higher quality. But thats what i get invictus/ hawas dna . I don’t think its worth the price but it does smell good tho
I’m getting it regardless. It must be part of my Chanel collection. ❤
Thanks for the review!!! Much appreciated! 👍🏼
@@shaunleonard3878 that was basically my thoughts as well
i like this fragrance on me. It's really good

10k is getting close 🙌🏻. I enjoy this one, even for the price. Hoping Chanel is coming with an actual new release soon!
@@THE_Newt I doubt it but here’s hoping
Great review

I got mines on last Friday at my local Dillards. Amazing office scent🔥
Say less im getting a bottle how many sprays do u use?
Glad to hear your thoughts on this Randy, good review. I'm gonna have to sample it. Thank you.

@@sandymcconnell1969 I can see that to in the opening but the drydown I get so little AHS of any sort it completely changes for me

Its my favorite AHS because i generally dont like the line 😂

Is it similar to the Allure homme sport EDT
@@humbertogutierrez9300 like I said in the video it’s closer to edition blanche but once it dries it’s not similar to any of them
I need to get my nose on this asap! Thanks for the review, Randy!

@@Killakamikaze ya that’s basically the reason I got it knowing even if it’s not good it’s a good collection addition
Thanks Dude your trick worked, genius 😂
@@Grinchy1230 lol right
Nice first impressions. Looking forward to getting my nose on it
@@FragranceFraternity def nice just the Drydown will lead people wanting

@@turboshazed7370 it happens all the time on Facebook but usually doesn’t make it to reviewing. Like recently with a new parfums de Marly
I like it I don't care what people say. Been since 2018 why would they do a limited edition
@@jts4248 it’s more of a collaboration that’s why I hope it leads to a full release at some point soon
@FragranceDOUD Right on I hope they surprise our ass lol
I still need to try this. I def won’t buy it. Sounds good just maybe not for the price or for the long ass wait. But Chanel did that to themselves for failing to put anything relatively new out.
Randy with the schemes lol…imma do the glitch and ask for a $25 fee to buy it for them 🤣
It's Versace Pour Homme with a bit of Mandarin/Patchouli.

This smells like Acqua di gio Absolut in the dry down
Is It me or does this smell exactly like Rasasi Hawas? It literally smells the same, and hawas is only $60 bucks
Yeah, it’s definitely in that Invictus scent profile. I’m shocked this is from Chanel.
@@flightgravity7483 yes exactly it just smells more higher quality. But thats what i get invictus/ hawas dna . I don’t think its worth the price but it does smell good tho
Dude that intro music is just waaay too loud 🥲
