Lot - Chanel Allure Homme Sport aftershave
Chanel Allure Homme Sport aftershave - RRP £50
Jacques Polge has created ALLURE HOMME SPORT around the 4 facets - fresh, sensual, woody and spicy - that compose ALLURE HOMME. In this creation, the fresh facet deliberately takes precedence over the other facets and embraces a new sensuality.
A silver lacquered glass bottle, a black rubber cap encircled by a steel ring, and fine black lettering with a touch of red...
Jacques Helleu's design is subtly inspired by the codes of sport. Combined with the unique luxury and elegance of CHANEL, they make this packaging an original and resolutely masculine creation.
Sparkling and invigorating freshness, a natural and radiant sensuality, heightening the scent of a breeze against bare skin... to create an infinitely seductive allure.
