I tried it in a blower, brought it close to my nose, then they tried it on my wrist again… fascinating. Love at first sniff. Exquisite, extremely fresh and airy. Sparkling lemon and lime, notable pepper. I’ve read that it has the lemon tree wood as a Chanel exclusive. Fascinating. It’s light, tonic and persistent, ideal for summer. I find a certain similarity or style to Moschino Uomo (only this one is sweeter) and Natura Humor 3 as well.
A rich, fascinating scent. I invite you to try it. It’s not very well known because few men use sport colognes, and this one IS a ‘sport’ cologne suitable for the gym or outdoors. It suits almost all sports, including water sports; it doesn’t smell bad with sweat, a great success. With it, people have told me I smell good. Several compliments received.
The first time I smelled it, I picked it at random from the Chanel island without knowing it and applied it to my neck. Result: love at first sight. It’s the freshest cologne I’ve ever smelled; it smells like a handful of fresh lemons. I didn’t hesitate to buy it for the size and price. It has a good trail and astonishing longevity for an EDC: about five hours with good projection and another two close to the skin, but still clearly distinguishable. The quality is undeniable; it’s Chanel. It’s rare to find something perfect for me, and this has it all. Perfect for sunny days, nothing heavy. You can apply it whenever you like and it never feels strong or changes. Although it’s a cologne with low concentration, it surpasses many EDTs. One of the best sport colognes and total relaxation. Simply perfect.
I tried it a while ago but was distracted by others at the time. It’s from the Allure family for men; I own three and need four more, and this is one of them. The scent is addictive… I’m already thinking of buying it just to open it occasionally and smell it over and over again. It reminded me a lot of the citrus notes in Dior’s ‘Homme Sport’. A hit for Chanel fans who can’t stop liking it, despite the bad reviews. Love at second sniff, but love nonetheless.
I spotted it in duty free and didn’t hesitate for a second. Beyond the good reviews, this cologne gives me a unique sense of peace and harmony. I’m not sure if it’s suggestion, but it’s real. It projects well for three hours, and in the heat, its trail is enormous, around six feet. Ideal for windy coastal summers, which give it great strength without it shrinking against more potent perfumes. A must-have for summer.
The concentration degree is what determines a perfume in terms of its denomination, the pure perfume can be in cologne, eau de toilette or eau de parfum. The original pure is very strong and would be almost impossible to carry, but that doesn’t mean it smells stronger or softer, normally eau de toiletes tend to have more sillage and pyramidal development than an eau de parfum which being more concentrated turns more around itself.
Allure Homme Sport Cologne is a very good citrus fragrance. The notes are felt to be of good quality, and slightly natural, basically it is a very musky citrus fragrance with a touch of tonka. As a Sport type fragrance this is much better than its sister Allure Sport, since this one does give the sensation of being for more sporting or relaxed activities, although due to its price I would use it better in events requiring casual dress. Ideal for summer and spring, maybe it will last until autumn, but not for cold climates. For a wide age range from very young to mature. Its longevity is very good, still after 10 hours of application it is felt although already skin-close. Although by the comments I have seen this depends a lot on each person’s skin, as many talk of little duration of Chanel fragrances. In my case all the ones I have used from this house have had very good longevity.
Of the versions I have tried of Allure pour homme, this is the one that reminds me most of its parent fragrance. I feel it carries that Allure DNA, even perceiving it as slightly soft oriental, like many fragrances from the Chanel house. In the beginning I perceived the union of citrus, somewhat mixed, creating a somewhat ‘creamy’ citrus impression, sweetish, that is, they were not sharp or acidic citrus. After three hours the citrus continue but there is a somewhat spicy or prickly impression given by the spices, the soft fir resin and even I feel something of the pepper already. After seven and a half hours of application the tonka bean note begins, not cloying nor too synthetic, the vetiver, and the musk. At 12 hours of application the tonka bean continues less strong along with the musky sensation and the soft cedar. The sillage is moderate (although being generous or rather over-applying, hehe) a heavy compact sillage can be achieved for about two or three hours, dropping to moderate for several more hours and even now, with 14 hours of application I feel it well, beyond the surface of the skin. Said that, of the Allures I have tried it is the one I have liked most along with its parent fragrance. Despite being aromatic citrus, I find it has that Allure DNA or even Chanel, which pulls it to the oriental side but softly. It is a fragrance oriented for almost all seasons, except a very cold winter, it is casual use, daytime, but I wouldn’t lose it using it for running or sweating, the fragrance demonstrates more potential, even due to the dry-down, for a special night, romantic (those who have that luck, hehe), it would come well and invites to smell closer.
Allure Homme Sport Cologne is a good citrus fragrance. High-quality notes are felt, slightly natural; basically it’s very musky citrus with a touch of tonka. As a sport scent, it’s much better than its sister Allure Sport, since this one does give a sensation of sporting or relaxed activities, although for the price I’d use it better for casual events. Ideal for summer and spring, maybe even autumn, but not for cold. Suitable for a wide age range, from young to mature. Very good longevity; after 10 hours it’s still felt, although close to the skin. Although comments say Chanel doesn’t last long, in my case all I’ve used have had very good longevity.
When analysing the evolution of this work I thought to myself that I was turning into the black sheep of reviewers of these two works so appreciated by the vast majority, until the dry-down of this Allure Cologne swept away all the negative judgment (or most of it) that was about to be dictated to it. What a notable dry-down this work has! It made me feel the same emotion I felt when I met my favourite perfumes and hadn’t made me feel a fragrance for a long time. I never thought this cologne would present one of the finest, exquisite, sensual and addictive dry-downs! Now, I said that not all negative criticism was swept away. This great work has two things that let it down: the opening, although many love it for being very natural and fresh, it saturated me to such an extent that it was responsible for me being about to give it a thumbs down to the whole work without waiting for the end. Too citrusy for my taste. And this citrus phase lasts quite a while. And it is that there are too many citrus which on top of that I think are enhanced by the spices of the middle phase. Only at the hour does the delight of the dry-down aroma begin to emerge, which retains notes from the previous phases (the lemony tone of the initial phase and the spicy tone of the middle phase never cease to be felt in totality), but between the cedar, the musk and the tonka bean, which here has indeed remained better than ever to balance so much previous acidity, they make this work one of the most exquisite, versatile, romantic, sensual and sexual that exist. As Prieth said, it has much more potential than just being a daytime sporty little perfume, it has great romantic potential. The second thing I didn’t like was the performance, as it was below average. Scent: opening 4.5/10, middle phase 5.5/10, dry-down 9/10 Sillage: 4/10 Longevity: 4.5/10 Versatility: 10/10
On analysing the evolution, I thought I was becoming the black sheep among reviewers of these highly appreciated works, as with Édition Blanche. Then the dry-down of this Allure Cologne arrived and it swept away all negative judgment. What a notable dry-down; it made me feel the same emotion as with my favourite perfumes. I never thought this cologne would have one of the finest, exquisite, sensual and addictive dry-downs. However, not all criticism was unfounded: the opening, although many love it for being natural and fresh, saturated me so much that I almost gave it a thumbs down. Too citrusy and quite harsh, with spices that accentuate that acidity. Only an hour later does the delight of the dry-down emerge, which retains notes from previous phases (the initial lemony tone and the spicy middle never disappear completely), but between the cedar, myrrh and tonka bean (which works better than ever here to balance the acidity), it makes this work one of the most exquisite, versatile, romantic, sensual and sexual. As Prieth said, it has more potential than being a little sporty perfume; it has great romantic potential. What I didn’t like was the performance, below average. Scent: opening 4.5/10, mid 5.5/10, dry-down 9/10. Trail: 4/10. Longevity: 4.5/10. Versatility: 10/10.
“The ghost of the reformulation attacks again” Try to acquire the old version, it’s phenomenal, and if you live in the Caribbean or go on holiday, don’t forget to pack it, it works better in temperatures over 85°F (30°C) and squanders all its splendour when feeling the sea breeze. It is a fragrance with a wonderful citrus combo and a creamy dry-down that creates an unhealthy addiction, extremely sensual, sexy, seductive, and mixes very well with our body sweat. The bottle image we see on Fragrantica is from the 2016 reformulation, the one from 2007 at the bottom of the bottle says ‘cologne Sport’ this one just says ‘cologne’ and this is the one I own. Here are its notes: Opening: Sicilian mandarin. Heart: Lovage (leek), elemi resin. Base: cedarwood, amber, white musk. You will imagine that they have ruined the original formula, this is another perfume, it keeps the smell like natural lemon practically from the opening to the dry-down. I perceive much less the creaminess of one of the most beautiful dry-downs I have ever felt as well as my esteemed @ Tami Franco expresses it, I imagine he wrote the review of the 2007 edition. Needless to say, as you must already suspect, that the sillage and longevity were affected. How angry I am with this reformulation business and I repeat what former Uruguayan President Jose Mujica expressed regarding his anger with companies, ‘they can do it better but it doesn’t suit the market.’ Update: here is what a concerned user asked Chanel, he comments… I translate… ‘After several chats directly online with Chanel, apparently the only ‘New’ thing about this product is the bottle size of 1.7. The fragrance is the same 2007 version. Same name, same fragrance, additional bottle size.’ Chanel defends itself, but like that user I maintain my doubts that it is the same.
“The ghost of the reformulation attacks again”. Try to get the old version, it’s phenomenal. If you live in the Caribbean or are on holiday, don’t forget to stock up; it works better above 85°F (30°C) and splashes with brilliance with the sea breeze. It’s an excellent citrus combo with a creamy dry-down that creates an unhealthy, sensual, sexy and seductive addiction, and mixes well with sweat. The Fragrantica image is of the 2016 reformulation; the one at the bottom from 2007 says ‘cologne Sport’, this one just ‘cologne’, and that’s the one I have.

You can imagine they ruined the original formula; it’s another perfume, the natural lemon scent remains from opening to dry-down. But I perceive much less creaminess from one of the most beautiful dry-downs I’ve ever felt (as @Tami Franco rightly said, I imagine she reviewed the 2007 edition). As you can guess, it affected the trail and longevity. I’m very angry with the reformulations and repeat what former Uruguayan president Mujica said: ‘they can do it better but it doesn’t suit the market’.

I have had the opportunity to try Dior Homme Sport and the two Chanel Allure colognes (Homme Sport Cologne Sport and Homme Sport Cologne). Since here on Fragrantica both colognes appear under the same name I will describe both. AHSCS maintains a greater number of the base notes of the parent fragrance Allure pour homme and is a complex fragrance. The opening is fruity-floral (softly warm) with a sparkling citrus twist. After half an hour I began to perceive the musk more uniformly and little by little it starts to become mainly resinous and floral. Between 2 and 3 hours the spices and green notes arrive to stay, standing out alternately and very consistently for brief moments. It is not a linear fragrance, on the contrary, it is a parade of very interesting notes; it’s like a multifaceted actor. The spark of citrus is present from start to finish until it fades after 5 hours. For people living in hot, humid climates with average summer temperatures of 35°C it is not recommended to use it due to its woody and spicy aspects which far from making it refreshing make it seem warm and resinous, perhaps it will be good from early autumn. It is more thought for the summers of temperate climates and dry heat. On the contrary, AHSC takes the citrus twist of AHSCS, and makes it uniform, consistent and linear from start to finish but in a very fresh, sparkling, jovial and elegant way. Everything is around Sicilian lemon. This one is more suitable for tropical climates and that is already saying a lot. In these latitudes the ginger and iris of DHS result in being very heavy and using it projects a stately image. Chanel has made this a easy fragrance (it reminds me of Sauvage in this aspect) maintaining the sensual and seductive line, valid for day and night to be used in all occasions. It is linear, true, but it is very pleasant to use it, with moderate longevity and projection which can increase the more you sweat. I am ready to receive 50°C!. They are two absolutely different fragrances.
This Allure Homme Sport cologne is the synthesis of all those definitions when referring to a ‘lemon water, fresh or harmless’. And indeed its performance is abysmal. Finally it is that, a cologne, very expensive by the way, that I had to apply 30 sprays for it to be barely noticeable in my office. What a shame Chanel! You didn’t measure up. Sometimes I regret spending $120 on this cologne, but typical that the opening hooked me, it promised a lot of freshness and well, the quality of the notes is undeniable, all very excellent and delicious. Pity they last a breath and everything is very skin-close. I thought it would have a performance similar to its father Allure Homme Sport, but nothing to do with it, here we are talking about a cologne for intimacy, for staying at home on a hot day, in light clothes, receiving visitors or for a boat ride where no one is going to suffer from seasickness due to your perfume, and generally situations where you will be close to many people like the cinema, or a small restaurant. Perfectly unisex, daytime and summery.
This cologne is a scam, almost bought it, lucky I didn’t. A 7-dollar perfume lasted longer than this. It smells exquisite but doesn’t project, stays close to the skin and doesn’t last at all. The previous version was a spectacle; now I don’t know what’s happening with Chanel, it’s gone tiny with the reformulations. All their perfumes are imperceptible; I went to buy Bleu de Chanel and its quality was lowered too, Dior the same, Hermès, Guerlain, Givenchy, Lacoste, JPG, CK, etc. The only two (massive and current) exceptional brands in performance are Paco Rabanne and Carolina Herrera; the rest are very low. I think it’s a matter of the multinationals that bought the perfume industry; I don’t give them any more profit to those rats. All perfumes smell the same these days; I tried Armani and they smell the same as Givenchy. The new Paco Rabanne XS smells like Gentleman 2017, like Zara perfumes. I’m really indignant.

The most underrated fragrance from Chanel… it passes as the poor relation of the Allure Homme line, perhaps because of its ‘cologne’ name and simple ingredients like citrus, pepper and woods… it doesn’t make a fuss, even it seems they want to take it off the market, changing its 150ml format to a standard 100ml… and when you apply it… wow! Surprise! An intense and I emphasise INTENSE explosion of pure lemon (lemon zests, plus other citrus) and it’s so intense that it has nothing to do with a cologne! It’s at least an EDT… I would say it’s an Eau de Parfum for citrus. A monstrous citrus opening, which leaves a sillage so powerful it’s noticeable from metres away; after a few minutes you feel the pepper and woods, even spices, but with the citrus base still very persistent. The dry-down is the main flaw… weak, even with lemon as the star, but very skin-close. In summary, it’s not a Sport cologne for the gym, but a citrus fragrance with a lot of presence and personality, timeless and which stands out better in heat. Highly recommended, although the price is steep and the final phase isn’t of the quality one expects from Chanel products.
Totally reformulated. The fairly natural lemon of the first bottles has disappeared completely, giving way to a more artificial lemony scent, like a ‘lemon dessert’, similar to the opening of AHS Édition Blanche. I suppose they use the same molecule and throw miles at it. The scent is good, fresh and pleasant, performs decently with a good trail in the first 30 minutes and interesting longevity, although for me it has lost some of its grace for the aforementioned reasons. Notable drop in quality.

Allure Homme Sport Cologne arrived via exchange; it’s the 2013 version. AHSC has an intense and loose opening with bright citrus and a creamy base from its mother, which is more contracted and contained. It’s far from the current version with the ‘sport cologne’ legend, which is something else, lighter and with a short life. This first formula is the most citrusy in the family, omitting the ‘Blanche’ which is denser and creamier. AHSC is rounded; it’s used even on sunny winters. Highly recommended to have it if you like the Allure series; it’s still to be found in perfumeries (not department stores). Go for the last bottles of this balanced and well-executed first formula; there are a few left around.
Well, it’s worth noting: Allure Homme Sport (Cologne Sport version) is simply cologne. It opens with power and leaves a tremendous trail at the start with sharp aldehydic citrus (they can be suffocating in the cold). But it doesn’t project equally all day because it’s not an EDP or EDT; it’s an EDC where the alcohol stands out. I don’t know about recent reformulations; my bottle is from 2009. In that version, it projects well for the first two hours, the trail drops from potent to moderate in an hour and a half. After that, the projection is discreet. But it has good longevity, which speaks of quality. It remains on the skin for 10 to 12 hours. It reacts to sweat or water. It lasts weeks or months on clothes. Be careful with shaving; the strong alcohol can irritate the skin. It’s mostly citrus at the start, then as it dries down, the citrus fades and a warm spiced phase emerges with vetiver, pepper, and resins. An unexpected and pleasant result, warmer. To enjoy it, you need a calm environment. As the projection is discreet, in crowded places it’s barely felt unless people come close. If you’re looking to stand out at parties or pubs, it’s not for that. It’s for refreshing yourself, beaches, or the gym. It smells delicious, is fine, and has caché. Is it expensive? It depends. It cost me $110, but if you understand it’s worth it, go ahead. It won’t disappoint you.
Very rich, much better than Allure Extreme.
I know I’m going to be honest. It would have been excellent if they had promoted it better or launched an EDT or EDP version. I think they made a hit because it smells very good, has potential, and dries down beautifully. The aroma isn’t static; it goes through stages: upon application, you notice aldehydic citrus, then more regal phases that I like very much. It’s a pity such a beautiful scent is left only in cologne concentration. So many grotesque fragrances with poor projection and AHSC (notably fine) have good longevity but fade quickly. It’s not fair to waste such a beautiful scent like this.
In my opinion, alongside Edition Blanche, it’s the best Allure. In terms of performance, it’s number one. On my skin, it lasts a long time for its concentration (easily 8 hours) and projects more than its ‘sisters’ for the first three hours. It’s a high-quality citrus; I don’t see any similarity in the opening with Edition Blanche, unlike someone who pointed out. But well, I still find people who think Opus by Armaf is a clone of Edition Blanche, haha. A great fragrance of high quality; whenever I wear it, I receive compliments. Another success by the former Chanel perfumer, Jacques Polge.
Exquisite, sparkling, with a very well-executed lemon and citrus scent. Special for summer. It lasts a long time, projects well, and is loved by many; buy blind, totally recommended.
It was reformulated years ago by Olivier Polgue; I believe there were changes, swapping woody notes for sweeter mandarin. It fulfils its purpose: it refreshes, gives positive energy, and evolves into something musky with soft woods. It’s Mediterranean; I use it all year round, even in the cold with sportswear or at work. It’s elegant, performs well, and has distinction. The 2007 version or the reformulated one? Both. I’ve worn it for years and received nothing but compliments; everyone likes it. A bit pricey, but the projection and sillage are luxurious.
Returning to this fragrance, I tried a 2015 bottle that didn’t last at all. Today I tried a 100ml bottle and they’ve improved it significantly. It keeps its DNA but has boosted the citrus and neroli notes. It smells fantastic, perfect for daily wear or even at home. It’s relaxing and very well made.
Don’t spend money on this Chanel if you’re looking for something similar; buy Ferrari Light Essence instead. It’s cheaper, lasts longer, and smells the same. Of course, the Chanel ingredients feel more refined, but the Ferrari is synthetic and costs $15 compared to the Chanel’s $120.
I loved this back in 2008; I used to wear it to football matches. It’s super citrusy, lasts all day, and by night it attracts looks and compliments. I don’t know what the new version is like, but if they’ve made it more synthetic, there are better options available at half the price.
This has been my substitute for Édition Blanche this summer because finding the other at an acceptable price has been a mission impossible 😅. Do they resemble each other? Well, slightly, because both are citrusy and have the Chanel seal, but they are quite different. This Sport Cologne is one of those perfumes I put on when I need an energy boost on a hot day; it’s like having a cup of coffee ☕. It’s the king of citrus (contains 5: lemon, orange, bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin), which together with the aldehydes, fir resin, white musk, and cedar make this perfume a delight for summer, where with a white t-shirt you look very well dressed. It has very good longevity for a citrus, about 6 hours on skin and much longer on clothes, with a wide trail that becomes moderate in an hour. ⚠️ Apply generously. ⚠️
A citrus explosion accompanied by spices and that aldehyde sensation. It lasts longer than it seems (6-7 hours), magnificent for warm climates, with a white shirt and you’re good to go. Refreshing and very energetic.
A citrus explosion. Yes, so much that at first it seems like a generic, vulgar, and common perfume. It even reminded me of smells like armpit with some supermarket deodorant. Yes, clearly it also smells like those basic nenuco-type fragrances, those basic citrus ones. Clearly it’s Chanel and has that brand touch that differentiates it greatly; it has quality. By the dry-down it’s the Allure Homme Sport but toned down. It’s not a bad fragrance, but it’s not my style. It might be because it reminds me a lot of the typical cheap colognes that are very mass-produced here in Spain. It smells very prim and ‘gentlemanly’ at the same time. This isn’t for me.
The name Sport is superfluous here, as it can definitely be used as a daytime cutting scent on hot days. As the name suggests, it’s an EDT similar to a cologne, but quite green and very citrusy throughout. The mandarin note is somewhat acidic and spicy, not warm or sweet, which makes me think it’s made with green fruit peels. The aromatic, sweet, and spicy citrus tone of the opening and the dry, spicy elemi resin of the heart form a beautiful and peculiar contrast; I seem to notice ginger and basil, though they aren’t listed. In the end, it becomes more woody because you can smell the cedar, giving it a warmer touch. The musk also adds a slight sweetness. Longevity and trail aren’t outstanding in a cologne, but after 2 or 3 hours you get quite good performance and smell clean and well-cared-for. It’s an adult-cut perfume, certainly annoying for some due to that penetrating green-resinous phase that takes time to assimilate. The duration is acceptable, about 3-4 hours with good performance and a clean scent. PS: Dior Homme Cologne is much creamier.
The great underrated gem of the Allure line, where Extreme is the queen. Here we have an EDT concentration that is simply sublime. If I could only have one fragrance for summer, it would be this. Don’t let YouTubers fool you by saying it doesn’t last or isn’t on any summer top lists. It has moderate projection and lasts about five hours to leave you with that typical personal bubble; on clothes, it lasts days. When summer arrives and I put this on, it gives me an energy boost that few fragrances achieve. It’s daytime, but has that special touch that means it doesn’t clash at night.
Sharp, citrusy, and lemony opening. Woody and slightly floral dry-down. Very rich and safe for the warm season. Many compare it to Dior Homme Cologne, but it immediately brought to mind the Eau Sauvage Cologne from the same house, as it has a more ‘natural’ and juicy profile rather than a creamy one.
The most elegant fragrance for summer. A citrusy resinous aroma that refreshes and looks very good in the heat. Ideal for spring, summer, and hot autumn days (it also smells great at night). It has become one of my favourites in the collection.
It reminds me a lot of the normal Allure Homme Sport (I have both versions), but fresher. Having both is a bit redundant, but for summer it’s a hit.
Excellent fragrance, super fresh and citrusy. Very similar to Dior Homme Cologne at the start, but then it evolves and becomes different. The performance is very good for its type. Recommended for summer or spring days when it’s a bit warmer, though it’s better for daytime; no problem wearing it on a summer night. A gem I wasn’t looking for, but luckily it came my way.
It’s a hyper-realistic citrus scent, smelling super natural and, watch out, it smells expensive (and yes, it is), but I’ve tried other Chanaels and this one didn’t last as long. Still, for two hours it makes a big impression and has a nice trail, though it fades quickly. To my nose, it’s the closest thing to Dior Homme Cologne, and in fact, I like this one a little more. It has a touch of those 70s colognes, like Eau Sauvage, but only slightly; I’m saying this to describe that classic style, though they aren’t identical. You can detect the mandarin, neroli, and lemon with a touch of musk; it’s fresh and very clean. If you’re going to buy it, go for the 150ml, but don’t expect it to last all night. Pablo Perfumes’ review shows he lacks the criteria to distinguish aromatic quality and believes a Y EDP or Tommy Impact are on par with this, which is far from the truth. Even if it’s ‘simple’, it’s a luxury; no one will think you’re wearing something cheap if they smell this on you. It’s fresher than the Sport version, without those annoying synthetic aldehydes. In its dry-down, you can notice the original Chanel Allure Homme, another perfume worth trying. Edit: according to @Pabloufum, I’m not the only one this reminds them of the Eau Sauvage line.
