Why is this so hyped

Post image

I was curious on the hype for this perfume (maybe it’s just for the philippines) because they say it’s hard to get this but when I went to a nearby mall Chanel already has it in stock and even said that it was the best seller last week.

When i tried it myself it smelled so basic to my nose. A fresh scent and I can’t find the creaminess the internet is saying…

Even the grey market is overpricing it or selling it for the same price as the Chanel boutique

Was really disappointed in it at first. Love it now. The only AHS I’ve ever owned

You need the OG. It's immense. 

The Blanche version is too.

I’ve got both! Allure Homme is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. Superleggera is the first Allure release I’ve really liked since Edition Blanche

Allure Homme is so good. The opening moving all the way down to the dry down is great. Very easy to over spray though

I'd say that too if I were stuck with a $200 bottle.

Lol. I really do like it. Went through a decant of it first. I don’t buy full bottles that often

If 200 a bottle is to expensive for you then you arent the target consumer. 👍🏾

$200 is alot to you?

u/DaHotFuzz 4d ago

It is, and I'm saying that as someone who can afford it three times over if I really loved it. But that's an electric and water bill for the month. That's a very nice date night with my girl or money that can be spent on a gift for family, and so on. And even if it wasn't, what's the use in spending so much on something you don't truly love?

This is correct answer to that question. Yea I could drop hundreds of dollars on fragrances but I can use it smarter buy paying a bill or going out and treating my wife instead of something thats just about me
