Luxurious, chic and as captivating as a stroll through Paris in spring, yes, I’m talking about the Chanel Allure perfume collection. This lineup promises aromas as timeless as Chanel’s little black dress.
Created for Chanel by perfumer Jacques Polge, Chanel Allure represents an elegant range of fragrances crafted by the iconic Chanel brand, known for its seamless blend of tradition and innovation.
From your tentative first spritz, Allure will bathe you in vibrant, zesty top notes, a romantic floral heart, and a warm, inviting base. Each memorable scent in the collection has a distinct vibe.

Prepare for good times and good vibes. Chanel Allure Eau de Toilette is an elegant, feel-good blend of citrus and pretty flowers.

The heart unfolds into a white floral bouquet, mostly honeysuckle and jasmine, which gracefully transitions to a comforting close of vanilla and wood.

Mandarin, Peach, Lemon, Bergamot
Mid Notes:
Rose, Magnolia, Honeysuckle, Water Lily, Jasmine, Orange Blossom
Base Notes:
Vanilla, Sandalwood, Vetiver

I wear this scent mostly during spring and summer, and I find it ideal for casual daytime outings and office-wear, too.
Overall longevity is around 6+ hours, holding its own from morning coffee through to afternoon strolls.

Chanel Allure Eau de Parfum cranks up the vanilla by a few notches to deliver a head-turning and elegant zesty floral scent.

Although only using a handful of notes, Allure Extrait has a lot going on and evolves beautifully over time.
Simpler yet profoundly elegant, this extract starts with an uplifting mandarin note that subtly segues into the luxurious aroma of Rose de Mai.
This classy experience rounds off with a soft, powdery vanilla base, offering a classic, understated finish with a touch of sparkle.

The scent concludes with an earthy patchouli base supported by amber and woody notes, creating a mysterious, mature, sensual aura.
