Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Leighton Watson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
I received Egoiste as a gift back in 1990, and for 30 years I couldn't take it. Every once in a while I'd spray some throughout the time and it always gave me a headache. It was a heady experience. Now approaching 50 I have gotten around to accepting it and even loving it now.
I am wearing this beauty today, it's going to be my next purchase for sure. I find it extremely unisex. It's one of those sensual, elegant fragarnces that will enhance the appeal of all genders. It's a beauty on its own, but on a right person it's pure, irresistable magic. To me it's mainly sandalwood, cinamon, tobacco and rose, with this fresh aromatic undertone. It's dark, sensual, but never heavy. True, timeless masterpiece!
Love your review and this incredible fragrance, Egoiste!!! It is such high quality! Chanel at it's best!!! I also actually quite love Platinum Egoiste. Very different scents, but BOTH are masterpieces. Many other designer fragrances are actually hard to smell after considering the quality of both Egoistes!!! Thank you, Jacque Polge!!!I 👊🏼😊
For some reason, I've always enjoyed wearing this one over the winter holidays. Must be the association with formal events or something, but I just love it. The should've called it CinnaMan.
Egoïste is a must have in my Wardrobe. Previously its name was Bois Noir and it was a private perfume of Chanel owner, Mr. Wertheimer. Thanks my friiend for this review
I layer this with Jo Malone leather on the bottom for a base first w moisturizer. Then I spritz Egoiste over it. If I don’t I just smell like gingerbread. Egoiste in the 90’s was a powerhouse where u just needed a spray, but it’s been a little skinny’d out for the times.
In Egoiste and Antaeus Chanel has two niche quality fragrances. When I wear either of these I smell new nuances throughout the day. I just worked up a very mild sweat walking the dogs and now I’m sitting in bed at 10pm and the Egoiste I applied at 1pm after the gym has taken on a second life.
As an avid collector of all things "Egoiste" i own every iteration and formulation of this most iconic mens fragrance from the 1980s. I started my collection with a bottle of Bois Noir, then L'egoiste, then Egoiste and other versions. There is a huge write-up about this classic over at Reddit, if you want a long read and full grasp of what Egoiste brought into the American sense of what man's fragrance was to become. So loving this fragrance, I thought I'd seek out a new perspective of Egoiste here at YT, while I use the face balm, hair tonic, aftershave, deodorant, soap, etd, edc, edp, and concentree today so that I am redolent in the most layered person of Egoiste on this planet and yes, I guess I am bragging at this point so I'll shut up. However: the flankers of this spicy, debonaire man's fragrance beg much to consider as the way they were created and renamed a few times is a great story, as well to give the true afficando of this line a few pointers as to which flanker version is far more rare, and highly sought after, and not well known. Read the Reddit article. My collection of this line is more than …. well, a lot …. it should go to a museum when I'm dead, I suppose. lololol
I've had several bottles over the years. One thing that I noticed was that the nose of it changes depending on the year it was made. I got a bottle from a fragrance store and I returned it. Found it at the chanel store in Vegas and it had that perfect harmony of that signature nose. Been out of it for a couple years now and needed your video to talk me into ordering online straight from chanel.
I still have a few bottles of the 90s original bottles, the pour cologne concentrate. Kept them in the freezer all these years in their original boxes. I bought so many when a store was going out of business. I keep an eye on them as my son is looking to snatch a few and sell them on ebay. The original fragrance is so much better than the reformulation.
If Boss Unlimited was to stay longer with a better projection I would pick it even over Aventus..What a gorgeous scent this is..Unfortunetly flees like a prisoner..Almost 20 sprays I get max 2 hours longevity with 20 min projection..Boss should definetly work on an edp version..
Great review! Jacques Polge, Chanel’s MASTER PERFUMER and the creator of legendary classics, has said EGOISTE is his FAVORITE creation! If people are willing to go on the adventure of Egoiste, they will be rewarded! A MASTERPIECE! 🎉
Your review does this scent justice! A top 5 favorite for me-it’s just so classy, mature, and interesting. I get lots of carnation and spicy cinnamon up top, followed by a wonderful Coca-Cola vibe in the heart, ending in a sweet and creamy sandalwood. I can pickup rose but only when I seek it out (I think it’s similar to the carnation).
Very nice review. Egoiste is a wonderful fragrance. I bought it back in the very early 1990's when I was 15 years old on a trip to France. I guess I was a bit too young to appreciate it, and not many people in my class at school bought something like Egoiste on our trip, but I guess something must have drawn me towards it. Even though I don't own a bottle now but soon will, I still remember the spices in the fragrance.
I agree with you it is a more mature fragrance and the beginning is not easy to please but it is a classic and I love it. Another great review. Um abraço
Wow your reviews always hit the mark for me. I went into the department store and smelled this many times, but for some reason always came to it last when there was no more room on my arms or hands to spray lol. That being said, I always sprayed it into the air or on paper and the opening, just as you said, would always put me off.. Finally yesterday I made a point to spray on my skin because I discovered a fondness over the platinum version. After putting it on my skin, I must say I pretty much fell in love with it and it has become a must buy for my next store visit!
Hey man again a really nice review. I have been wearing the Egoistie Platinums version for many years now and I mean it's marvelous Fragrance you said it's best for fall and winter. But believe it or not I've been wearing year round and get just as many compliments during the spring and summer as I do in the cooler/cold season I have to put my nose on the Egoistie to see if there is a big difference between the two Or maybe you can tell me if there is a big difference??? Thanks
Agree with the opening being challenging, but it’s challenging on me in a diff way. On me, it gives me a weird powdery, dated, kind of 80’s feel upon first spray. Then that burns off and u get the aromatic rose w the warming spices and the creamy leather and sandalwood. You said u don’t smell rose, but if uve ever smelled Le Labo Rose 31, it’s the same accord - less fresh rose and more dusty, dried rose.
I just got this and it is excellent. I am 57 and my fragrance preference has gravitated to scents that fit my personality and maturity and this one definitely fits.! The dry down has a soothing creaminess to it I can attest that to the carnation but on my skin the vanilla came through really nice
Il mio profumo preferito dagli anni 90. Intramontabile, meraviglioso. Per me è il profumo da uomo. Un uomo forte, di carattere, elegante e affascinante. Il top del top dei Profumi.
A minha companheira usava este perfume de forma generosa quase todos os dias, em todas as épocas. Agora, por motivos de saúde, não usa (para já). Nela, nunca senti fragrância mais elegante e de profunda feminilidade, e mais adequada para a sua personalidade forte e intensa. Não lhe atrevo a roubar a sua aqui-fragrância assinatura, mas trará sempre para mim inesquecíveis memórias. Uma obra prima da perfumaria.
I just smelled Egoiste. In my opinion, it has a feminine scent over the Platinum Egoiste. Be honest, it smells exactly like Calvin Klein Obsession for women. It could be a clone for Obsession.
Chanel make great men's fragrances and egoiste is a masterpiece i love for colder weather seasons it does actually smell a dated now compared to a lot of modern releases but I'm 48 years old so i am dated myself and also for a edt this lasts long enough and has superior high quality compared to the current edt releases of the present day that mostly imitate each other, egoiste doesn't imitate anything its a unique high quality fragrance in its own right has depth galore and to me a feel good vibe wearing as an individual and decent performance on me
Egoiste is spicy, floral (carnation) and woody (sandalwood). Platinum Egoiste is fresh (lavander), slightly metallic, with a barbershop feel. Very different from each other
Hi João! I'm trying to find a bottle of Egoïste for a reasonable price at the moment. I've been trying it from testers in stores and I really love it. I'll keep on looking. 😊 Tem um bom dia.
Great review once again. I rarely reach for mine. It wasn't until I bought it that I realized it smells like a higher quality Curve. I think that's why I rarely wear it.
I completely disagree with you with this fragrance being a masterpiece. If Chanel were the NHL, the original Egoiste would be the Arizona Coyotes. Rofl
I'm strongly considering getting the Egoiste for Fall/Winter and Egoiste Platinum for Spring/Sommer. 2 classic fragrances to cover the entire year.
The edt?

Great review. I love Egoiste. Such a beautiful gentlemanly scent, love wearing this for work and evenings. Very versatile.
I received Egoiste as a gift back in 1990, and for 30 years I couldn't take it. Every once in a while I'd spray some throughout the time and it always gave me a headache. It was a heady experience. Now approaching 50 I have gotten around to accepting it and even loving it now.
it needs the winter air to work properly
A classic that I love since the first day I smelled. One of my all-time favorites. Great review my friend.

I feel so sophisticated when I wear it! A true classy one.
5/5 fragrance. Sheer quality. Great review as usual.

actually quite love Platinum Egoiste.
Very different scents, but BOTH are masterpieces. Many other designer fragrances are actually hard to smell after considering the quality of
both Egoistes!!! Thank you, Jacque Polge!!!I 👊🏼😊
This is refined done right imo , I prefer it to the platinum version. 👌
Great to get your take on it.
Just your opening description of Egoiste made me thumbs up your video. I absolutely luv this scent. Good selection for review 👍
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me 😄🙏🙏
For some reason, I've always enjoyed wearing this one over the winter holidays. Must be the association with formal events or something, but I just love it. The should've called it CinnaMan.
I love it now but I had to give him some time and wear on skin. It’s a daring fragrance. Great review 👍🏻😉
Egoïste is a must have in my Wardrobe. Previously its name was Bois Noir and it was a private perfume of Chanel owner, Mr. Wertheimer. Thanks my friiend for this review
I have just bought it and will have to wear it a few times to get it.
You're right about the opening.

I've never tried this one but due to your review I purchased a decant to give it a try. Happy Holidays!

Could you please comment on the current formulation. The one being reviewed here. Is it still good? Strong? Thanks.

Can I buy one
It was my first or second perfume. I just fell in love with it after couple tests in the mall! It's my favourite fragrance now
Bro from where do you get it .? And how is the longevity and performance?
If Boss Unlimited was to stay longer with a better projection I would pick it even over Aventus..What a gorgeous scent this is..Unfortunetly flees like a prisoner..Almost 20 sprays I get max 2 hours longevity with 20 min projection..Boss should definetly work on an edp version..
Very convincing review....nice one. Like the old bottle with the wider black wooden top and it's pity they don't do them this days.
I really want to smell this. Sadly most stores only carry two colognes by Chanel - Bleu and Alure. Can't wait to check this one out.
Wait until you smell les exclusifs de Chanel. Le Lion ,coromandel, sycomore
I honestly emptied a full bottle of this on my wrists trying to like it or understand it. I will keep trying.
I think you emptied brut instead
@@fearlesslegend2073 and I think you like this fragrance. And my guess is you like anything loud. Am I right?

Great stuff one of the best 👍
I use Egoiste only in hot summer days.
Question. If you could only pick Egoiste or Heritage, which one would you pick?
I have it in my collection too . To me it's more a fall fragrance than a winter one
Yes, this fragrance can be used during Fall and Winter time 😊
Great Classic Fragrance!
One of my Favorites!
Would u choose this over platinum Egoiste?
i love it. the smell is gorgeous. contrary to you i consider it a sweet fragrance
Great review, must give this a try

I just smelled Egoiste. In my opinion, it has a feminine scent over the Platinum Egoiste. Be
honest, it smells exactly like Calvin Klein Obsession for women. It could be a clone for Obsession.
I wore Égoïste a lot in the 1990s. I might need to find another bottle.
Sold it when downgrading. Wasn't getting lots of use over others, but a very iconic and unique fragrance. Reminds me of the early 90s.
Sometimes fragrances can lose their magic with us, but Egoiste will always be a timeless classic 😊
A true masterpiece
What’s the background music?thanks
Discontinued in Canada, how can i get this
Chanel make great men's fragrances and egoiste is a masterpiece i love for colder weather seasons it does actually smell a dated now compared to a lot of modern releases but I'm 48 years old so i am dated myself and also for a edt this lasts long enough and has superior high quality compared to the current edt releases of the present day that mostly imitate each other, egoiste doesn't imitate anything its a unique high quality fragrance in its own right has depth galore and to me a feel good vibe wearing as an individual and decent performance on me
it is not dated at all. It is timeless.
Just bought me 100 ml. bottle. Haven't worn it for more than 12 years.
What’s the difference between this and Platinum Egoiste?
Egoiste is spicy, floral (carnation) and woody (sandalwood). Platinum Egoiste is fresh (lavander), slightly metallic, with a barbershop feel. Very different from each other
Yes they’re not really similar at all. Platinum Egoiste is a great ‘dumb grab’ office scent for a 30+ man in the warmer months.
Anyone else find this similar to Costume National Homme?
It's a masterpiece
Christmas in a bottle
Hi João! I'm trying to find a bottle of Egoïste for a reasonable price at the moment. I've been trying it from testers in stores and I really love it. I'll keep on looking. 😊
Tem um bom dia.
Search for sandalwood by geo f trumper. Really good fragarance that lasts and resembles egoiste!
Great review once again. I rarely reach for mine. It wasn't until I bought it that I realized it smells like a higher quality Curve. I think that's why I rarely wear it.
I just received this from a family member I have to say it's very complex and I love it next in line to my Sauvage by Dior
Sauvage sucks
@@beavisbonce opinions vary
How long does it last ? I loved it when I tried it for the first time !
7-8 hrs at ease
@@Artem_Shipov thanks !
Hello guys! Does anyone know how much the 100ml black cap weigh? Thanks in advance, Sincerely!
Is it true it's not loved by women ?
A great, all time classic, manly, aromatic and "ηδονικό" ( a greek word, find it) perfume for real men!
I ❤️it
I love almost every fragrance with Rosewood and i love 1888 also. I don't have this one though
I love Platinum Egoiste! The original Egoiste is too old school, 1980’s power house smelling for me.
I completely disagree with you with this fragrance being a masterpiece. If Chanel were the NHL, the original Egoiste would be the Arizona Coyotes. Rofl
