Platinum Égoïste Chanel 1993 Eau de Toilette

It must have been around 2004 when I consciously came into contact with this fragrance for the first time. A colleague at the time recommended it to me and as I like aquatic fragrances, among other things, I bought my first "expensive" fragrance. That's when I discovered my love for Chanel. As I didn't know exactly what I wanted from life in my 20s, I didn't just focus on this fragrance and tested various other fragrances, although CPE was somewhat forgotten.

At the end of last year, I ventured back into the world of fragrances and smelled CPE in passing. I was immediately catapulted back to the time when I got to know and love this unmistakable fragrance. And the first question I asked myself was, how on earth could I have forgotten this wonderful fragrance? I still don't have an answer to that question, but what I do have is a bottle of this fragrance.

For me, it always feels like I've just stepped out of the shower and that feeling lasts all day. And it smells anything but cheap. It's a spicy, cool freshness that suits both summer and winter. And although it is "only" an Ed, it smells as intense as an EdP. I receive compliments from both Mars and Venus, which confirms to me that I have done everything right with this fragrance. From now on, CPE has a permanent place in my bathroom cabinet and won't be moving out any time soon.
