I first recieved this fragrance as a gift about 5 years ago, and it has been a main stay in my bathroom cupboard ever since. This is a proper man's aftershave that oozes class, and sells itself. Once you try it you' ll know what i'm talking about. Women consistently comment when i'm wearing it (the true test) and it is not as widely used some other fragrances( probably because of the price), so it can appear unique! Having said all that, the price can be an issue, and as a result i only really use this for big or special occasions. Despite this, i regard 'chanel allure' as a must have fragrance, worth every penny, and taking everything into account, Value for money. Aftershaves are, after all, a matter of personal taste, and there are a number of scents on the market that (to YOU)smell just as good, probably for less money. But for ME this is the one. And by far the best. End of!
