As a woman I love Egoiste! Love wearing it & believe it is perfect unisex! Can’t wait to wear it!
A real classic ! Thank you for spotlighting it !
A pleasure my friend.
Fellaaas, Egoiste has been on my buy wish list for years. Maybe 2020 is finally the year. A classic
make it so, you will not regret it :)
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews is the newer formulation still good /long lasting? Im looking at both this and platinum
@@harisarif did you ever buy it?
I still have my stash of Egoiste from the 1990s. Bought 20 bottles from a store that was going out of business in New York City. I remember paying $20 for each. I thought I was crazy when I got home realizing I spent $400. Now I am looking back and realize it was the best buy I ever made. I have always kept them in my freezer door in their boxes. Lately, my sister has been eyeing them to sell on ebay for a lot of money since they still smell the same, having never been exposed to heat or light. I watch her like a hawk when she is near my refrigerator. When I do use one bottle, I get compliments galore. I heard the formula changed and was curious so I took my bottle to Saks Fifth Avenue to the Chanel counter to compare smells. When they realized I had an original from the 90s, all the salespeople had to have a whiff and they confirmed that indeed the scent has changed and not for the better. I explained to them how I store all my bottles and they agreed it was the best method. I also said that my uncle, who worked in the perfume industry in France, gave me another tip if you have a pour bottle, which I had. Since oxygen is a killer, to keep the level of the liquid up to the top, put in the tiny gravel that is used in fish tanks to settle in the bottom as you use up the fragrance. This will bring up the liquid to the top and eliminate the air in the bottle. I have been using that method for over 30 years along with keeping my bottles in total darkness ( I wrap them up in aluminum foil once I take them out of the box) and keep them in the freezer.
Wow! fantastic comment, enjoyed reading it. How much do you think the difference is between the 90s vintage and the current formulation is?
Wonderful comment
I am moving to NYC in a couple of months
Would you be willing to sell a bottle?
That’s a great method thanks
and you're insane also.
Ahhh one of my all-time favorites and my SOTD. As always, a pleasure to hear your thoughts on this gentlemanly classic.
Thank you Peter and delighted you love it as much as I do. Great to see you after a long time :) Have a great weekend.
Listening to your videos is one thing, but when I received my égoïste bottle (and many others) and followed along with your review to understand the scent, is just another level. Thank You
I like that you take the time give a little history behind the fragrance.
Thank you my friend, I am glad you enjoy the format :)
Great review AC 👌 Egoiste is one of my big loves ❤ Your description gives me the same impression in my mind, how you actually do that is amazing 👏
Hahaah Steve, I am glad I can actually articulate an impression that resonates with you mate :)
You describe fragrances so well and do a great job at it.
Thank you my friend, glad you enjoyed it :)
Fellaaas! Nicely done. Wore this, Pour Monsieur and Antaeus back in the day...still in the rotation! For some reason I always get a smoky note/accord in this classic.
Nice one Dan, I am yet to try Anteus but I will. Sandalwood does have a smoky accord but I don't get the smokiness here for some reason.
When I smelled in the shop, I was getting a slight tropical, coconut, suntan oil vibe. Loved it
My favourite scent and lately my signature scent, everytime I put it on I fall in love❤️❤️
Wow, delighted to know :)
Good to hear you changed your mind, AC. I love Egoiste too, will take it over Platinum Egoiste any day:)
I just bought it! wow, this indeed smells like old mahogany furniture. I'm glad the projection is lacking as such scent profile is very challenging for people around me who are not into fragrances. Amazing scent.
Thanks for the review. Egoiste was my first fragrance love and is still one of my favorites :)
Wonderful mate, so you started your journey with an absolute stunner :)
AC!
Hello my friend!
I love your stories as much as I do your reviews.
Chanel Égoïste is wonderful. Such a classy fragrance. Don't know when Chanel will come out with a new fragrance but I wait in anxious anticipation.
Nice flowers! Ciao!
Thank you Lamar, and so nice to see you mate:) I did a bit of research to make it more interesting ;) glad you enjoyed mate :)
Have to agree with you there, sir, Egoiste is amazing
Great review sir. You describe scents in words really well which is a difficult task.
Thank you my friend, I am glad I add value to your time :)
I'm on this one to offer prompt thanks for the review. My modern Egoiste is my fav coldest weather office / daytime casual frag - in part owing to the modest performance you describe. Great review treatment to a Chanel with lots of quality Chanel-ness. That G F Trumper is on my sniff list along with Paisley. Respect for quality review content.
Thank you Michael, glad you enjoy this classy scent so much.
My mother bought me a bottle of Egoiste in 1993, I was 18 yrso and I remember the sweet smelling of sour- sweet candies....girls were in love with this fragrance from heaven.... great review ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome review
Top class scent, and Top class gent. Another great video, bro.
Thank you William, most appreciate your kind words mate :)
Classic Chanel on Classic Channel . Thank you Sir for the shout out. Yes this fragrance doesn't work in summer ,smells weird . great review 😍🙏
Absolute pleasure Rohit and yes for summer months I think Sandalwood Cologne by Trumper is a better option :)
Hello my friend 😊 I've been 'addicted' to Trumpers sandalwood for close to 10 years now. All-though I add new ones to my collection rather frequently, I always have Trumpers as a secure choice for many occasions. I also, have said to myself I don't need the Chanel Egoiste - However, sir - You have convinced me, and I tried it at the shop - it is not the same, and a lovely fragrance it is, indeed. I love them both and can certainly say that I will use them both 👌🏼
All the best and a big Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰👍🏼
Wow Renaud, I am with you. I enjoy both and really like wearing them :)
Love at first sniff in a mall shop last year, ordered a 100ml bottle tonight based on your review backing up it's classy reputation....just beautiful. I couldn't stop smelling the test strip
Truly Fantastic Fragrance and really needs a classy nose to appreciate it. Well done my friend :)
Your reviews are top notch
Thank you my friend, very kind of you :)
The classiest reviewer reviews one of the most opulent fragrances. Been waiting on this review for a while! Thank you sir! Would love to get your take on Frederick Malle Musc Ravageur
Thank you Marcus, very kind of you. I am delighted you find this useful.
I have reviewed Musc Ravageur, but in case you are keen to keen to get Musc Ravageur, I suggest you also test Guerlain Shalimar, which its highly inspired by.
I wear Bois des iles and my husband wears egoist. They are both beautiful. Great review.
Thats very logical. Egoiste was inspired by Bois de Iles. I must say you two have very refined taste :)
Classy reviewer and classy review! 😊
Hahaha thank you Vincent, very kind of you mate :)
Fellas, great take as always 👍
Thank you Abid :)
Ah, Egoiste, one of the great masculine releases from CHANEL. While my favorite is ANTAEUS, this one is probably Number 2. Great video, Master!
hahah thank you, you are very kind, glad you enjoyed the video :)
Salutations, my friend! Your knowledge of perfumery is commendable. Keep up the good work.
thank you Rui, very kind of you.
Love it mate, so elegant yet masculine .Bought this and Platinum a few weeks ago. Own more bottles from this house than any other. Appreciate how much description you manage to squeeze from an analysis of a fragrance. - I’m reading ‘ The secret of Chanel No 5 ‘ by Mazzeo, it’s very interesting and well worth a read. Well done pal.
Brilliant buys Paul, I will review platinum soon. That book is an amazing read, I have it in my collection :)
Smells Good I would love to get your thoughts on Platinum! Thank you.
Fab...I was put off after trying platinum egoiste which was too mettalic to my taste... this one sounds so different.. definitely need to check out..Cheers 😊 😊
Please do check it out, you will like it :)
I'm obsessed with vintage Egoiste at the moment! It evokes both sensuality and spirituality to my nose. I love it. The sandalwood is outstanding. I found the newer formulation drier and brisk and lacking a certain warmth though.
You nailed it mate, this is one of a kind fragrance :)
where can i get the old classic egoiste
Great review and I enjoyed it and i like this fragrance I give it a nine out of ten
Thank you Michael, so you love it a lot :)
You welcome keep up the good work and i do its a upscale fragrance
I love my Egoiste but your right it doesn’t project. My bottle is from 2021 I believe.
#1 favourite Chanel for me. With today's flanker trend running the game, I can't see that ever changing. Totally understand the old wooden cabinet vibe too. I used to fiddle around with modifying acoustic guitar bodies and it somehow reminds me of the smell you get when you stick your nose into the sound hole of a freshly minted guitar. Don't know why, but I'm guessing it's the rosewood from the fretboard combining with the dustiness of the interior. Another great review AC.
Wow truly surprised mate. BTW how did you manage to get it in Canada, I understand its not sold there, only Platinum Egoiste.
Your point on the Guitar bodies is spot on, could be rose wood.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Got it in a trade in 2011. Had to give up a vintage Boss No.6 for it, but I still think I came out on top. Think you're right - I've never seen it here in stores.
@@justaddlight Chanel's marketing is quite strange isn't it, albeit that was a great trade in your favor.
Loved it to bits, an absolute class in a bottle. As you always say “THIS KIND OF PERFUMERY IS DEAD AND BURIED” Despite I’m in early 30’s I can’t stand any of the modern sweet frags. This is a LEGACY...Even if people don’t like it, they should buy at least to show the next gen what perfumery was in olden days.....👌👌👌👌👌
well said Arun, I am glad you are enjoying it.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews
I adore it sir.... I was wondering you hardly speak about ANTAEUS though. Is there any specific reason or is it coz u love Guerlain’s DERBY (which I’m quite sure)
MAY I KNOW SIR?
@@ArunKumar-mw6ld I never got fascinated by Antaeus Arun. I might someday, but as of now I am not much impressed by it.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews
Thanks for your reply sir....
@@ArunKumar-mw6ld anytime buddy :)
This is an amazing perfume and so individual . But it’s a personal perfume just for you to enjoy it and your life
As a woman, I love to wear this. It's just so good. Has anyone ever smelled Le Labo Rose 31? It's been a while since I sampled it, but I think they are in the same family. What do you guys think?
Wow, I am seriously delighted to learn that you like Egoiste so much as a woman :)
You the man🤔🤗
Thank you my friend :)
plz do review for ACQUA DI GIO EDT and how long can store any perfume after open or without open bottle
Hello,what s the difference between this bottle and the bottle with square cap?
Sir your reviews on perfumes are excellent. Really appreciate.
After seeing your review I really put money on buying a Chanel perfume (men perfume). Can you pls suggest me which is the best Chanel perfume which I can put my money on? (specially for dating purpose 😃)
And from where I get an original Chanel perfumes because I heard there are duplicates. Guide me pls.
I would buy it directly from Chanel online and if you are looking for a date night scent I would highly recommend Allure homme Sport eau Extreme or Bleu de Chanel Parfum, both of which I have reviewed.
My favourite man's fragrance at the moment is guerlain vetiver. My fave man fragrance of all time is kouros. What are your thoughts on kouros AC? It is an absolute stunning fragrance with the civet and honey.
I haven't tried Kouros yet my friend, but I will.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews how is that possible ac?? 😉 Imo you must run right now! To the store, and spray some Kouros. Granted, It will be the current formulation, but still..
Just ordered it today
what do you think ?
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews got it yesterday and I love it.it opens spicier that I thought it would but the dry down had a creaminess to it I really like
@@bagley232 I am glad you are liking it mate, its seriously classy isn't it.
If you get a chance try Houbigant Fougere Royal.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews it fits my personality to a T very classy scent
Fellaaaaaaassss mohooeghany
Please, Can u do a video about difference between egoist and egoist platinum.
sure, great idea.
Dude looks like a Boss.
hahah thank you :)
To me, and I know that I'm not the only one, Egoiste smells like a freshly made Rakija or should I say a nice Šljivovica. :)
hahaha too bad I have never tried Rakija :) you made me google my friend :)
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews If you even decide to visit Croatia on holidays, it would be a pleasure to treat you with Rakija. :) Love your channel. :)
Even it's a review for classic fregrance the review is better than the fregrance
Hahaha Tarek, you are way too kind to me :)
Man of the Week.
haha thank you very kind of you :)
you and J.C. should do a vid together, you guys have the best voices
Good idea. I respect JC a lot.
Theres a lot of made up rumors with Egoiste but truth is Chanel was after Calvin Kleins Obsessions massive success. Later again Calvin Klein scored another massive success with Eternity and Chanel once again tried the same with Platinum Egoiste yet did not achieve the mainstream success they wanted.
Theres a lot of stories and rumors behind Egoiste and its background.
I have owned all versions including Bois Noir.
To me personally the only true and much better composed Egoiste is Spicebomb created by Olivier Polge which Im sure him and his Dad had Egoiste in mind but they finally perfected the recipe.
Another great composition in the same territory is the original one million.
Theres many niche houses selling “ sandalwood “ dominant fragrances in the $500-700 range yet they dont have the talent to blend perfumery right. Its not always the ultra expensive ingredients what creates a masterpiece thats pure marketing hype. Its the talent behind the perfumier.
I couldn't agree more , its the talent of the perfumer that makes a great fragrance. Look at Youth Dew by Este Lauder, it costs nothing and yet it has the feel of a complex niche fragrance.
Comparing Egoiste with the ultra synthetic syropy mesh called spicebomb is a BLASPHEMY my friend !
@@dinamiena6186They were both created by the same DNA running in the family. And they also share same notes.
Besides Geo F Trumper Sandalwood, is there another fragrance that is similar to Egoiste?
Sandalwood Cologne is the only one I know of my friend.
Unfortunately, no.
New sub
AC! Do you think this one is similar to Habit Rouge edt?
Not one bit my friend, atleast if my nose isn't lying to me :)
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Good to know!! I checked the notes breakdown and saw some similarities. I may get this one in the future. Thank you for your review sir!
This or Chanel Bleu De Chanel EDP?
Depends on the purpose buddy, this is very professional bdC is an attention grabber.
Egoiste vs The One EDP?
no similarities
They dont really sell this in Canada chanel only sells platinum up here unfortunately. I still really want this tho I have bois des iles and geo f trumper sandalwood they are both magnificent. Thanks for the review 🙏
Same in Australia, Platinum only.
@@alexfranchuk9608 pain in the arse eh mate 🤷♂️🤣
Wow thats strange , so you cant get Egoiste at all I wonder why.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews well not from chanel anyway, I could try ebay not a fan of doing that tho 🤷♂️ trust issues lol. Chanels distribution is strange with that one and not sure why.
@@jeremyhinze8837 Man ebay is quite oko trust me, I do most of my fragrance purchases there.
Your chanel is in my opinion from 2012-2013. Bottom not engraved. Batch code should start with 5--6 or 7. Tester.
