The wannabe L'Humaniste by Chanel
It was not long ago that I rediscovered my former passion for fragrances and Parfumo has its share. It began, logically, with the question of which new fragrance it should be. Among others, Cartier Declaration and Bleu de Chanel came up, whose blind purchases I still don't regret. The first warm days of this year quickly brought me to the question of which fragrance it should be for the coming summer. During my research, I came across Frapin L'Humaniste, of which I promptly ordered a bottling. The "aha" effect was not long in coming and I just thought, that smells just like Allure Sport. Then there were the comparisons with Allure Homme Edition Blanche here at Parfumo and the difference of 40 EUR could be quite an argument to reach for it. So I ordered me without further ado also of it a filling.
CAHEB starts with a pretty intense trio of lemon, bergamot and pepper. For a brief moment, I think of an everyman load of bergamot / lemon hand soap from the dispenser. A little later, that impression subsides and other notes join in, such as the sweet-woody influence of sandalwood, which bridges to a combination of sweetness, freshness, spice and some green. Leather I can only guess at. Amber, musk and tonka bean later combine with ginger, cedar and vetiver to create an interesting scent.
Allure Homme Edition Blanche EdP definitely has its charm, especially if you know the opening of L'Humaniste. Personally, it takes me but a little too long until the fragrance on my hand shows its more pleasant sides for me. As a freshness kick in the hot midsummer, even after the evening workout in the gym from which it then goes directly to the barbecue with friends, I could imagine him. However, a good friend of mine, who is constantly raving about Bleu de Chanel, has nothing more to say about Edition Blanche than "cheap sports shower gel". With this, she exaggerates a little, but in direct comparison to L'Humaniste is there unfortunately what to it:
At the beginning, the bergamot / citrus bomb from the soap dispenser, even Bleu de Chanel comes in the first minutes with more pleasant freshness. Later, at least near the hand, more pleasing and slightly creamy. In the end, however, with a sillage, which unfortunately reminds something of the dusty residual freshness of laundry from long ago childhood days at Mutti.
What can I say, Frapin L'Humaniste goes in a different direction, simply has more character and more esprit, even if price, durability and sillage leave much to be desired. It is a little unfair to praise another fragrance here, but I mean it only well with you. ;-) I will buy it then maybe but ... the real L'Humaniste ;-)
