Chanel "Allure" Perfume:  If there is one item where you actually get what you pay for, it is perfume.  Don't bother with the 'eau de toilette' version of your favorite smell.  It will never measure up to the real deal that is perfume.  Chanel hit it out of the park with its fragrance "Allure."  It is a yummy, sexy scent that lasts for days.  It actually smells better as the day goes on and it interacts with your pH.  Chanel has also released "Chance" which is in the same family as "Allure" if you like to change it up.
