Chanel recently launched Eau Extreme, a direct offshoot of Allure Homme Sport, but with a decidedly more aromatic personality.
Mint kicks things off from the very first scent, along with a refreshing pulsation upheld by Sicilian mandarin rind and Moroccan cypress. Discreet but present, Clary Sage adds a touch of warmth, an almost amber plant-like sensuality.
While not as spicy as the Allure Homme Sport Eau de Toilette, the composition nevertheless calls upon black pepper from Madagascar.
Behind the rustic array lies a white musk accord selected by Jacques Polge for its cottony soft and subtly animal intonations.
The fragrance also features an almondy note of the tonka bean, cedar and milky sandalwood. The Eau Extreme eau de toilette concentrée gives a fresh boost to the skin. Available in a 50ml and 100mlspray format.
