Allure Homme Sport was created by Jacques Polge, Chanel's house perfumer, and launched in 2004. Chanel's history describes it as a new interpretation of masculine allure, evoking movement and freedom, and echoing the sporty style that Gabrielle Chanel adopted for herself.

The bottle was designed by Jacques Helleu, the house's longtime artistic director, who also designed the Première and J12 watches. The house notes it is a simple, wide bottle with a chiselled profile, made possible by a new technology.

Wikipedia notes that it was Chanel's most recent men's fragrance before Bleu de Chanel arrived in 2010. Polge also created the original Allure fragrances, according to the house.
