Review of Allure Sensuelle Eau de Parfum by aad de gids

this perfume immediately deviates from 'Allure'. of course it would be strange if spices, dried fruit, patchouli, iris, lavender, labdanum and two whopping roses wouldn't do that. again the brilliant concoction, alchimical mingling of the variousest of notes makes also 'Allure Sensuelle' a spectral perfume, which I saw to my pleasure documented in the photos depicting the perfume. there it is stated that the perfume unites the qualities: [intemporelle], boisée, oriental, fruité, frais and SOLAIRE. this has all been reached in my opinion. it is however lacking somewhat in the aspect of 'FLEURI'. I do smell roses and jasmine. those are not easy to neglect. it is again the mixing and maceration of all which veils somewhat the singular notes. this was also the goal of Allure in the first place. patchouli (my straight twinbrothers favorite) has a fatty, overtaking, herbal tone. it does add to this perfume. so I do like the perfume but to me 'Coco' will always be first. I am an incurable connaiseur of ultrastrong perfumes as Giorgio-Poison-Knowing-Oudh Infini-Montale Intense Black Aoudh-Gale Hayman Beverly Hills-Frédéric Malle Dominique Ropion Promise, Fleur de Cassie and Portrait of a Lady. yet this is the Chanel equivalent of such perfume. so it has indeed a timeless Allure and mystic Sophistication.
