Chanel Allure Homme Sport Superleggera EDP
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Superleggera Eau de Parfum is a premium, limited-edition release from the house of Chanel. Crafted by in-house perfumer Olivier Polge, the fragrance takes its name from the famous Italian automotive term Superleggera ("super-light")—referencing the historic technique of wrapping a lightweight aluminum body over a structural frame.
True to its concept, this flanker re-engineers the classic Allure Homme Sport DNA by stripping away the heavy, creamy vanilla facets and replacing them with a lighter, highly precise, and revitalized woody-musky core.

Profile & Performance
Superleggera opens with an immediate, high-concentration blast of grapefruit and mandarin that carries an almost metallic, razor-sharp zing. Olivier Polge rebalanced the traditional mid-notes by dialing up a clean, airy cedarwood and introducing a very specific, purified patchouli note that is entirely absent from the original formulation.
The dry-down pulls away from the dense, powdery sweetness of Eau Extrême, instead settling into an incredibly sophisticated, sporty blend of velvety sandalwood and a dominant, skin-like white musk.
