And yes, they smell very Chanel. But so different from what they have on the mass market. I am not very happy about Chance and Coco M. I mean, they smell okay, but they're to many that are using them and peeps seems to over do it. Chanel's scents are very strong, even in the edt version. But I like that u still can get the classics like Bdl and CdR...I would be so dissapointed, if they woulsn't let us have them any more. I just wish they was more easy to buy. I have to have friends in Paris and Holland, to buy them for me, when they are only sold at Chanel's own boutiques. I really enjoy them very much. And yes, they smell very Chanel.

I find them distinctly different, although they both smell like "Chanel". I'm glad you enjoy them! Bois des Iles and Cuir de Russie are probably my favorite of the Chanels, too.

I was talking to a friend the other day, and he was so sure, that those to edts were so familiar. I think they are very different. I love the sandalwood is strong in BdI and the irish and leather notes are very well blended in CdR. I love to wear both scents, and have done it for years. The great thing about the Les Exclusifs de Chanel, is that they come in large bottles and u have it for a pretty long time. All though, they're expensive. I just wonder why they don't make them in edp versions. That would be amazing. Coz when u take the edt of BdI and the perfume version and sniff at them both, it would be great to mix them. But I think that Chanel are not in the mood for do an edp version of all the Les Exclusifs . I would love that more from that line was edp versions, coz they seems to fade quick, like 18 or Gardenia. But CdR and BdI still stands out and on me, the edt versions are strong enough , so I can still smell them, when I am off to bed.

But I wouldn't be surprised if it has. I hope you're able to recapture the Allure magic you remember, whether it's through the parfum or finding an old bottle.

But I have a question about the reformulations. Does anyone know or feel that Allure has changed? I first bought it early in 2003 as EDP. It was a dream, on me it was like a cross between gingerbread and Earl Grey tea. Spicy, slightly fruity but elusive. Now it's more like a sickly floral scent. The drydown is particularly bad. I even tried the EDT, slightly better but not as I know it. I know it's not question of changing body chemistry or taste. I also tried it in different types of climate. It just no longer works. Any chance the Parfum might work? There are usually no testers for that. I have a sample of it. But if it's a few years old, that might have changed too? I'd love to solve this, this scent was so special once. I must be strange, but Chance feels more masculine to me than any other Chanel. I love it for that (minus the pink packaging). I still hope to try this.

It's worth exploring different leathers to see what you like, just as you did. Daim Blond is very nice. It’s worth exploring different leathers to see what you like, just as you did.
