Chanel Allure Eau de Parfum

I’ve never been much of a Chanel fan – I think their range of perfumes is very unique to the point where you can tell a Chanel scent straight away – whichever fragrance it is. However, when I was bought a bottle of Allure a while back I discovered how there is probably something in the Chanel range for everybody and having done some research on it for this op – discovered why this one was probably the most suited to me.

Perfume to me is a must have, I just love the way a perfume can say so much about it's wearer and there's the associated feel good factor as well. Chanel Allure rapidly made it onto my dressing table after I smelt it on a work mate. Now my ex work mate was a very sophisticated no nonsense Danish nurse who had a certain air about her, she turned heads as she strood around the department, wafting the most beautiful smell but was so totally oblivious to the effect she was ... more
