Perfumes Zag Zodiak 166 Chanel Allure Homme is an Eau de Parfum. 166 Chanel Allure Homme opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Anise, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Sandalwood. Perfumes Zag Zodiak's 166 Chanel Allure Homme carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

166 AL follows Chanel Allure Homme's amber-woody-citrus outline fairly closely, though the dupe's tonka-vanilla base is noticeably flatter and quieter than the original's rich, spicy drydown.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

166 AL takes after Chanel Allure Homme, opening with lemon, peach and bergamot before a cedar, patchouli and rose heart. The base settles into vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood. The dupe reproduces the original's warm, confident character reasonably well but with less richness and a shorter finish.
