Chanel should learn

So i first heard about this from AC smells good.
I've owned PE 3 times and sold it three times, it's a love hate relationship for sure LOL

let's compare (L=legsi PE=Platinum Egoiste)

L is sweeter than PE in the sense that it is not as galbanum/geranium dominant. The lavender in both are of good quality but IMO PE's garlic like smell from geraniym and galbanum really makes it hard to swallow.

performance wise, L kills PE hands down.

I can't really say enough how surprised I am to find armaf to be able to produce this stuff.. I'm very impressed.

If you LOVE PE for what it is, you won't like this. But if you are like me, you like PE's scent profile but don't like geranium, go for L.

the only down side....please somebody work at armaf... do you purposefully design your bottle to be in such style?? man.. can't really relate to it is all I can say

Titanium Egoiste

If you've ever smelled Platinum Egoiste, you'll recognize the essentials in Legesi right from the first spray - the herbal rosemary, the smooth lavender, the green galbanum and subtley piney cedarwood. Strangely enough, it's an entirely different development on paper than it is on skin.

On paper, the opening is sans alcohol and gives off a distinct vibe of mint toothpaste. When the rosemary and sage finally kick in, it's a skip-to-my loo all the way to the public urinal. Add a dash of garlic in the mid and then wash it off with a sweet, yet herbal green lavender soap, and you've got it. Not the best development.

But on skin, Legesi bursts out of the gate with a heroic amount of alcohol and rosemary, to be quickly followed up by an equally strong soapy combo of lavender and petitgrain. Yowsa - very barbershop and incredibly reminiscent of Platinum Egoiste.

Give it a few minutes, and the soapy lavender continues to smooth out until it's joined by the sage and cedar with only a hint of florals. But those fade fast until what you're basically left with is a slightly sweet lavender body wash with that distinctly metallic PE greenness in the background. In essence, it's a modernised version of PE, very much in line with the current reformulations of classics like Azzaro Pour Homme and Drakkar Noir. Luckily, you won't hear ME complaining...

You see, I used to own PE but had difficulty getting over the sharp, almost sour metallic vibe in the mid, most likely due to the combination of clary sage and geranium. Legesi does away with both, in addition to the neroli, amber and vetiver, and simply smoothes out the composition from top to bottom, while adding a touch of sweetness to the base. But what I find most startling is the development.

From the opening spray to the drydown nearly 1 hour in, there is a distinct reshuffling of the notes. It starts off mostly bitter and green, and ends mostly smooth and sweet, with the soapiness enveloping the entire lifespan. But therein lies its greatness. Instead of drying down to some modern, sweet generic nonsense greatly favoured by this generation's compliment-seeking douchebag, it takes a turn toward the vintage soapiness of yesteryear's distinguished gentleman - the mature, yet still youthful husband, father and teacher.

And that's basically Legesi in a nutshell. No, I wouldn't say that it's a perfect copy of Platinum Egoiste, nor is it even a great one. Instead, it's simply a more contemporary one, poured into a strangely designed bottle that you can't grab by the top or you might break all of your other surrounding bottles....yeah. Already gave me a scare. But fear not - the hinged top IS magnetic and the atomizer they put in this thing is the best one yet from Armaf - smooth and consistent.

Overall, for the price this is currently going for, I'm genuinely amazed and delighted. Fantastic value, in a brown mirror plated bottle. The modern man's Platinum Egoiste. Titanium Egoiste.

Pleasant surprise

I used to have PE for many years, but stopped because of the awful performance. Being very sceptical, I tested Legesi, and it turns out to be a win!
I didn't compare side by side, but as an old owner of PE, i'm saying that if you love Chanel you can't go wrong with Armaf. Very similar, same vibes, fresh fougere sophisticated scent.

A classic scent with goofy bottle.

Legesi is a classic barbershop fougere that smells nearly identical to Chanel’s Platinum Egoiste. The first time I sprayed it I was hit with a good dose of lavender and petitgrain. The rosemary was only slightly perceptible. After about 30-45 minutes it transitions to a more rose, sage and oakmoss based fragrance. The fragrance lasted a solid 8 hours with about 2 hours of arms length projection.

In a nutshell, this is a great high quality barbershop for a ridiculously low price.

If you can get past the cheap flip cap and tacky presentation you are left with a winner.

Sweet egoist!

In my review, I will try to limit myself to aspects that add something new to what has been said so far:
It is obvious that Legesi is a dupe to Platinum Egoiste and comes quite close to it. Overall, a barbershop fragrance that also has similarities to others in the genre such as "At the Barbers". When applied, it is a time machine and catapults you straight back to the 90s.

If you want to keep it very concise, you could say: aftershave in the opening, shaving cream in the course and finish!
Aftershave is not meant disrespectfully here, because there are eternal classics, such as Hattric, which are well made, even among the low-priced ones. Of course, it has to be said that the fragrance is more complex than any shaving lotion or cream! Nevertheless, the label fits. It is more about describing an immediate fragrance impression.
In my opinion, the previous speakers are right that Legesi lacks the metallic quality of the original and is much creamier, more floral and sweeter. In this respect, I am surprised by the high ranking given to the oakmoss fragrance component. This would lead one to believe that Legesi comes across as an extremely tart, green oakmoss board. I don't get that at all! In fact, it becomes softer and softer in the drydown. Just like shaving cream!
This is actually quite a fruity-sweet shaving cream note. Don't laugh! In the drydown, I smell a fascette that reminds me of the strawberry aroma in food. I am puzzled as to how this impression comes about. I see the rose much more dominant here than other reviewers. I suspect that the rose together with woody and creamy notes create this impression. Long story short: for a fougere, Legesi is not unsweet!!! This is also where I see the biggest difference to the original.

How is Legesi made?
It is inexpensive, but not cheaply made. If it is synthetic in parts, I can't detect any of that.
I find the longevity to be good. The sillage is clear in parts. I understand the divided opinions on this, because once the fresh opening is over, you think you've lost the fragrance for a while. The next moment, however, it is back with a vengeance! Even though it becomes creamier and creamier as it progresses, the fresh aftershave of the opening is still there again and again! All in all, I think it is clearly perceptible! Also confirmed by the surroundings.
I think the bottle is bad. You can argue about the look. That is a matter of taste! However, the handling is annoying because the lid keeps closing. A good sprayer could be comforting, but for me it is merely acceptable.

Wearability: It is a fougere that conveys a certain timelessness, freshness and sophistication. In this respect, it is certainly not very offensive. However, the fragrance clearly harks back to the 90s. I was looking for such a fragrance and found it. A younger audience interested in certain fashions and trends may not recognize its qualities.
