Allure Sensuelle

Chanel · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2006

≈ $145 · 100ml · approx. retail

A softer, more enveloping flanker to Allure, weaving powdery iris and dewy rose over a glowing bed of amber, vanilla and patchouli. Spicy pink pepper and candied fruit lend warmth and a quiet sensuality that lingers close to the skin.
