The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1999, Allure Eau de Parfum by Chanel was crafted by Jacques Polge with a deliberate six-faceted structure — fresh, floral, fruity, woody, oriental, and spicy. This structural approach sets it apart as an unusual yet sophisticated composition for a mainstream Chanel release. The fragrance opens with sparkling mandarin and soft May rose before settling into the sensuality of vanilla and the warmth of passion fruit and peony. It is a multifaceted scent that resonates distinctively with each wearer, embodying both freshness and depth.
Allure Eau de Parfum has a long-lasting base that blooms over time. Apply it lightly to pulse points in the morning for a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day. The fruity top notes are brief, so let the woody and oriental facets take center stage as they develop.
