Classic Fragrance for the Modern Gentleman

After a very negative experience with Egoiste yesterday, today am VERY positive with Platinum Egoiste. Really masculine class act with this one. Fresh and clean fragrance that strikes me as very versatile - could be used year round, and appropriate either for dressing up or casual. Old school type scent yet modern at the same time. And, of course, Chanel quality.

Longevity is about 7 to 8 hours with moderate sillage for a couple of hours.

While Egoiste struck me as way too floral to be appealing to me, Egoiste Platinum, despite all the top and heart floral notes, is more of a green/herbal type of scent with the eventual woody base notes. The woody base dominates toward the tail end of its longevity, when it's down to a skin scent. Mr. Polge really put this one together well. Can highly recommend.

Great signature scent

First, the review below mine is mistaking this for Egoiste, which is an entirely different fragrance than Platinum Egoiste.

This is a fresh, aromatic fougere. It took me time and experience to know, this is how I want to smell.

Not dated, but different - you won’t smell like everyone else, no Sauvage or Blue type of scent detected.
It smells classy, refined, elegant, clean. It says about the wearer, “I’m well put together”. This is versatile for any occasion and season. Love it!

The scent of a reliable man

This fragrance is and always will be firmly etched into my olfactory memory. My father has been using this fragrance my whole life, and he still renounces any futile naive attempt made by my mother, me or any friend or family to introduce him to a new scent.

Some may say this stubbornness is annoying, but I commend it... For this proves to me two undoubtedly obvious things:

1. This fragrance is as reliable as it can get, it has accompanied my father through the best and the worst of times, through weddings, funerals, long work-days and joy-filled weekends. It has been there, accompanying this man on his journey through life. It has given him the comfort and self esteem when he had to take risks or make tough decisions, but it has also given him the edge to be a fun-loving playful father that he is to me.

2. This is how a man that embodies everything my father is to me smells like, and I would not wish my dad to smell any other way than this.

Platinum Egoiste has been the sole fragrance that sparked my interest in perfumery, it is a scent that symbolises everything a reliable, well-put together, well-mannered, elegant, sophisticated and, nonetheless, loving masculine figure is supposed to be like.

I have always had a mental image of myself as that kind of man, because that´s the man my dad is for me and my family. When I spray Platinum Egoiste, I feel like I am that man. I feel sure of my abilities, I feel sure that I can handle everything that comes my way, and I feel like my dad is there to give me advice if that is needed.

Platinum Egoiste, according to my beautiful girlfriend, smells like someone you can trust, the man that will hug you and tell you that everything is going to be ok, and that is exactly the man I want to be.

Something Chanel can proud of

Egoiste Platinum is one of those fragrances where you have to wait it out in order to understand its brilliance and appeal.

When I first sprayed it, I thought it was yet another sharp citrusy scent combined with lavender, but the more it developed the more amazing it became. I'm almost to the point where I would call this fragrance a major turn-on.

It's refreshing, a little spicy, slightly dry, clean and edgy. It's everything I enjoy in a masculine Summer scent, however due to this fragrance being so versatile, I'd say wear it all year round.

In the heart, I find this fragrance quite zesty, almost like a rich, pulpy orange with a sexy and heady geranium note. This fragrance is actually quite distinctive and unique despite it being so popular.

Egoiste Platinum reeks confidence, charm and comfort. I like the way guest_pippi (Fragrantica member) put it, I too could 'eat a man' wearing this. The drydown is a spectacular blend of woods and aromatic herbs.

The longevity and sillage are equally fabulous, everything that I'd expect from Chanel. It was a pity that the store in which I tested this fragrance didn't have the original Egoiste too, which I've been longing to try since discovering Egoiste Platinum.

CPE ~ Polge Masterpiece!

To me this is the "Quintessential Men's Fragrance!" Everything from the strong tasteful name itself to the simple elegance of the bottle design. And what's inside is pure class in glass with it's very fresh and floral notes. Grouped as a Woody Floral Musk to my nose this is better labeled as an Aromatic Fougere. Mr. Polge definitely found his western target market with his revised Egoiste formula from Chanel. After all it is still routinely recommended and reviewed even now twenty years later as one of the most versatile all season Signature scent's a man can reach for. In today's world of endless aquatics and candy sweet gourmand's CPE is still the strong fresh and clean fighting man left standing!
