Antaeus was my first Chanel, 1986. It gave me the feeling that there was a sophisticated life somewhere that I needed to find. I remember how a half spritz would fill the room! No one got it, but I did.
I know exactly what you mean by the impression of a sophisticated life somewhere. That’s what I’m after. This is part of the reason I wear fragrance at all.
Love Platinum Egoiste! My favourite scent of all time. I love how cold and aloof it is. It’s a quality you don’t get very often in fragrances. What with most fragrances leaning cosy and sweet these days.
Platinum Egoiste is intriguing to me because it's an old school barbershop that women love. I wore it in the mall today and women were coming up and being friendly
I purchased Boy after watching your previous exclusif review, it is AMAZING. I am 21 years old, female, for me it seems a perfect unisex summer fragrance for me. Amazing, so clean, any gender could pull it out.
Edition Blanche is unmistakably unique Homme Sport incredibly refreshing and Homme a classic for all occasions. Allure Homme Sport Cologne is one I love wearing in summer or a warm climate like Thailand too! Best wishes from Australia.
I have 3 bottles from Chanel house and my ranking is: 3) Allure Sport Colone 2) Blue the Ch perfume 1) Platinum egoist - my new in the collection and it's superb
I tried to make my dad try other Chanel fragrances other than his fragrance favorite Bleu de Chanel. I took him to the boutique, and he didn’t like any of the others. I thought he would go for Sycamore, but he was astonished at the price tag lol.
My dad had the original Allure Homme.. he had a bottle from 2001 and would wear it to work, it would fill the room and he’d come back and still smell like it, I would steal a spray or two from time to time. The first Chanel I ever bought was Allure homme sport, I absolutely love it… then Bleu de Chanel, and just got the original Allure homme. Chanel just does it well, as classy as anything.
I have 24 different bottles of Chanel including vintage ones and I’m in love with everything they do. Ten years passed since last major release for men and I believe something new should be released this year, but virus broke everything. I hope they will release it in 2021.
You are so right !!! We absolutely need an allure homme parfum version. This was my 1 st fragrance from my late Father. It's one of the things that make me remembering my father. Thanks for the review.
My Top 5: Egoiste (my love), Boy, Sycomore, Antaeus, Platinum Egoiste. All last pretty well, with Egoiste being the best, 10+ hours and if I dont shower in the evening I can smell the fragrance the next day when the shower steams up. Sandalwood loves my skin and I love sandalwood.
I feel like Eau Extrême is very light at first and then becomes a bit mature or darker on the dry down, it doesn’t last long but I consider it an everyday (including office) for Texas climate. I use Edition Blanche for hot days (which has been lately), and then Chanel Bleu Parfum during winter. I use those as everyday, then I play with others like JPG-LeMale-Parfum and some FDM scents for special occasions. I also have 100 others that I play around with but I have my Chanel safety-net set up lol.
Love Pour Monsieur and agree the EdT gets the slight edge. I feel like TH-camrs sleep on this one in general.. easily my favorite from Chanel as a classy daily wear.
Great video!! I personally love the BdC EDP along with Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, I feel like they r both so versatile and can be worn any occasion any season any time!!
Undoubtedly my favourite fragrances are the entire Bleu De Chanel line, great for clean deep sweet blue scents. Platinum Egoiste is just my success fragrance always puts me in a positive mindset and a go getter vibe. Chanel Egoiste is just the most exotic concoction of all, amazingly blended, a unique & mature scent for a working man in the winter. Chanel has high quality scents.
Yay I love to see a Chanel list! I think my top Chanel at the moment is Pour Monsieur EDP so smooth and classy. I can't wait until I can acquire a bottle of Boy, I had a decant that I absolutely loved. I can see similarities between Egoist and No18 but Egoist always reminds me of Bois Des Iles little brother. Just my two cents. Great video thank you :)
My favourite Chanel fragrances are: Antaeus, Egoiste, Allure Homme (without that silver band on the cap), Pour Monsieur EDP and Sycomore, Thanks a lot for the sharing your thoughts,Sir
They’ll probably have something new next year. In thirty years, they have only released three fragrances, Egoiste - 1990, Allure -1999, Bleu - 2010. A new fragrance every ten years. For me, Egoiste would be top followed by the EDT of Coromandel and then Allure Eau Extreme just for its great flexibility.
Smelled Egoiste recently and reminded me quite quickly of Caron´s Le 3e Homme. From Chanel I have Blue de Chanel EDP, and Allure Homme. Just added Boy and Paris Biarritz to my wish list after this video, also need to check out Sycomore.
I'm in love with Pour Monsieur edt, Egoiste and Antaeus. Bleu is solid. The rest of the designer male selection is nothing I care about. All in all the female targeted Chanel designers are better imho. The quality is undoubtedly top notch correlate to other brands, even Dior or Hermes.
Hi Sebastian great Chanel picks. I thing that will be good idea to make a frag battle Dior vs Chanel vs Guerlain, top 10 or 20 list but separated designer list and les exclusive.
I was this week at the airport of gran canaria spain and bought the allure sport extreme, the egoiste and the blue edp. They had an offer buy 2, get three. I am very curious about the Paris Biaritz- The exclusives i don't know, are not so available as samples. So at the moment my top 5 is. 1. Pour Monsieur EDT, 2 egoiste, 3 Allure edition Blanche, 4 Allure eau extreme, 5 Blue EDP. Today I also received some samples and an amber I ordered at JOVOy in Paris. Amber 114 histoires, de parfum, than a sample I wore today and immediately i got compliments: Amazing Rouge saray from telier des ors, man this is awesome. But 220 euros a bottle pfff. Than i had samples from perfumes i know i am going to like. Ambre Loupe and Montobacco. very very nice
Hi, I owned both and I actually sold Platinum Egoiste as initially I liked that slightly metallic scent but got bored of it, performance wasn't very good on my skin either. I still own Pour Monsieur and although performance still isn't great, is classier and fresher and has more depth imo.
Boy is great! This or another fragrance from the Les Exclusifs line May be my next purchase. What do you think of Coromandel and Le Lion - recently launched? Coromandel is on the masculine side to me.
I thought 1957 was going to break in here. And Coromandel, though I suppose you were trying to focus on the more male marketed fragrances. It's a good list. I've been wearing Boy more and more and have started to really enjoy it, how it develops and dries down. Regarding AHSee, it is funny how compliments come in the form of "Something smells good." It is hard for people to put their finger on it. Whereas other Chanels people can point out what smells so good. I think the exclusives are just great though, heavy on natural elements and so perfectly blended and elegantly packaged.
Maybe it's nostalgia playing tricks on me, but you're right, the current Antaeus is but a shadow of its former self. The same can be said of Chanel Pour Monsieur. I struck gold a few years ago and scored a vintage Chanel for Men De Luxe case: 4 oz. each of the cologne and aftershave. Other than some loss of the opening notes, it smells just as great as ever. I also love Allure Homme Sport and its Extreme sibling, but I'd trade them both for an original bottle of Antaeus.
Love your list but using spots for edt and edp's of the same frag.takes away from other possibilities from their line which could have been highlighted especially when you have them all and I am selfishly looking for my first Chanel. sorry my opinion .
There is something 'heavy' about almost all Chanel fragrances...no matter how 'light' the notes may be. It may be the physical components of the juice itself or maybe chemical characteristics of the aldehydes...not sure...but even the Sport and Bleu fragrances have that heaviness. In some of their fragrances it takes on a creamy feel and others its just a heaviness which is difficult to describe. Ultimately its the same result...they are not that easy to wear and can be cloying and headache inducing. I do not experience that with Dior fragrances.
The original Égoïste recipe was unbeatable, sadly some of the composants have become illegal and the smell is very different, they also had an Égoïste concentrated EdP that was limited edition, sadly they emphasized the wrong components and few people liked it. I wore Cuir de Russie and that was quite androgynous!!!
Alure, the original, used to be my absolute favorite back in the early 2000s. But, as you said, it has no power theese days. A concentrated version would sell like mad.
Seb seb seb I was finally expecting Chanel Eau de Cologne les exclusifs would appear in this list but it's not the case ☹️. But I guess you might not own it. Shame it's such a great classy cologne
I would definitely like to see a new designer release by Chanel. Perhaps their next release will usher in a new era of men’s fragrance, away from the current ‘Blue wave’ trend. Btw...OG Allure is a my favorite Chanel, extreme is a close second.
1. Sycomore, a masterpiece 2. Égoïste, a incredible sandalwood fragrance 3. Eau de cologne, best eau de cologne ever 4. Paris Deauville 5. Coromandel (I’m surprised it’s not here, it’s clearly unisex to me, as Boy is)

Egoiste is the BOMB on a guy. Always loved it.
This is my FAVORITE house, and today is my birthday! Perfect timing! Love the video - thanks, as always!
M. O. Chanel plays no games... as far as designer fragrances...to me so far there is no better house... designer wise.
I have 3 bottles from Chanel house and my ranking is:
3) Allure Sport Colone
2) Blue the Ch perfume

Yes! Allure Homme is a great fragrance!
Antaeus is my favourite from chanel but it's not a house that generally works for me. So it's great to hear your thoughts on these :)
Fair enough!

EdT is a great scent but very fleeting. 1 hour on me and it's gone. Shame. Is EdP longer lasting?
Can you do a Top 15 Hermes. Which ones do you recommend from the Un Jardin line. Thanks, Sebastian
Trying to compile my Hermes list to do one yes!! Sooner than later! 😄
Can’t wait.

And that’s fine. They don’t have to rush their fragrances with filler flankers.
I love this video. Its nice one General. One of best houses. I love BDC edt.
I owned a bottle of Antaeus Sport back in the day.... Wish I still had it.

While I disagree with some of what you said I really appreciate this video being such a huge Chanel fan boy myself. Great work!
Oh and my top 5 sycomore, BDC EDT, AHEB, Boy, Pour Monsieur EDP
Great list! Hope you rank the house of Acqua di Parma
Love Platinum Egoiste..
Thanx for working overtime to provide these quality content videos
Chanel Bleu de Parfum it works good on me 🤷🏻♀️ but I won’t wear it often or I would layer something to tone down the masculine side
Paris Biaritz sounds awesome. Never heard of this one and definitely going to try. Thanks. 👍
Sebastian what do you make of Allure Homme Sport Cologne?
I was this week at the airport of gran canaria spain and bought the allure sport extreme, the egoiste and the blue edp. They had an offer buy 2, get three.

Wow! Great reviews! Very helpful thank you!
Brilliant review. Best one on Chanel mens fragrance
What would be best to get platinum Egoiste or Pour Monsieur for everyday business feel.
Hi, I owned both and I actually sold Platinum Egoiste as initially I liked that slightly metallic scent but got bored of it, performance wasn't very good on my skin either. I still own Pour Monsieur and although performance still isn't great, is classier and fresher and has more depth imo.
I agree 100% about the OG allure.. i feel like it was ahead of it's time... but damn it performs worse than a virgin on prom night.
LOL!
Oh yeah, Boy is great. I get a very powdery experience from it and that typical aldehyde DNA. smells very clean for me. Nice one 👍
I really enjoy your videos. Just got Gentleman Givenchy EDP. I love it.
Glad you like them!
Have you tried 1957 from the Les Exclusifs line? Smelt it on card pre COVID and I really liked it. Would love to know your thoughts on it.
Hello there
1957 is my favorite, can’t wait for Le Lion!
Keep or get Coromandel instead of Le Lion
What do you think about Cologne Sport?
Great video as always. Thanks Sebastian. Chanel = Class.
Wow- no Coromandel this time! Nevermind- I see you have answered many here about that one. Tell me is Paris-Biaritz good for women? Sounds great..
does the current formulation of egoiste use alcohol or alcohol denat.?
شكراً لوضعك الترجمة العربية ولمجهودك في الفيديو 🌹🌹
Interesting, Chanel denies using cinnamon in Egoiste.
What about coromandel? Just wondering why it didn't make a list. Any thoughts?
Platinum Egoiste gives me good longevity 6+. Allure Homme is on the weak side and BDC Parfum moderate.
Sebastian, have you tried any of the Roger & Gallet L'Homme fragrances? I'm curious about the line.
Boy is great! This or another fragrance from the Les Exclusifs line May be my next purchase. What do you think of Coromandel and Le Lion - recently launched? Coromandel is on the masculine side to me.
Coromandel I love but I left it off cause it’s more femme leaning. Le Lion I have not tried it yet!
Another solid list, and my top 5 of the ones that I’ve tried are.
1) Coromandel
2) Boy
3) 1957
4) Paris-Venise and
5) Platinum Egoiste
great video and topic
Boy is a very modern fougere, I love it!
Even reformulated Égoïste will always have a special place in my collection
Do u know how different the reformulated version is from the OG?
It‘s maybe less rich and mysterious than it used to be. Maybe they tried to modernize it, too. But, to me, it‘s still a great scent
Hello. Please could you give me any info on Chanel “A Gentleman’s Stray Aftershave”. Is it called anything else.
I thought 1957 was going to break in here. And Coromandel, though I suppose you were trying to focus on the more male marketed fragrances. It's a good list. I've been wearing Boy more and more and have started to really enjoy it, how it develops and dries down. Regarding AHSee, it is funny how compliments come in the form of "Something smells good." It is hard for people to put their finger on it. Whereas other Chanels people can point out what smells so good. I think the exclusives are just great though, heavy on natural elements and so perfectly blended and elegantly packaged.
I saved all the very unisex and femme targeted ones for another video!!
Thanks for this great overview.
Maybe it's nostalgia playing tricks on me, but you're right, the current Antaeus is but a shadow of its former self. The same can be said of Chanel Pour Monsieur. I struck gold a few years ago and scored a vintage Chanel for Men De Luxe case: 4 oz. each of the cologne and aftershave. Other than some loss of the opening notes, it smells just as great as ever.

They also sell the POUR MONSIEUR EDT in Mexico
Great video Sabastian, thank you.
Oh, yeah.... Jersey?
I think Jersey was featured in this video: th-cam.com/video/tz2DocSHH6o/w-d-xo.html
@@ThePerfumeGuy just remembered, you also mentioned Jersey in your Lavender list. 👍🏻

True
I loved egoiste now I have Allure homme Ed. Blanche very good, fresh for the country I'm in
Nice list.
No Chanel No. 19 in this list?
I have Deauville and Venise. Would have loved to hear how you feel about them and to see how similar we feel about them
I speak about the first three in this video btw: th-cam.com/video/VDgU4c_DeAA/w-d-xo.html
@@ThePerfumeGuy ohhhhhh yeah. But my 5 favorites are Boy, Venise, Platinum egoiste, deauville and edition blanche. Have to get sycomore
Deauville is almost tied with Biarritz, I love them both! :)
Chanel Allure Homme is my go to.
Excellent!!
The original Égoïste recipe was unbeatable, sadly some of the composants have become illegal and the smell is very different, they also had an Égoïste concentrated EdP that was limited edition, sadly they emphasized the wrong components and few people liked it. I wore Cuir de Russie and that was quite androgynous!!!
Please, tell me who is the best
Guerlain L, instant edt or edp??
Greetings from Romanian
EDP 👌
I find eau extreme soooo similar with Le Male from jpg... I don't know, I really don't find it so unique.
Thank you for the reviews!!
Hello there
Sycomore… yes but BOY? Its so "flat" to my nose and not that masculin as Sycomore.
Love your Videos, love Platin Egoist.
Sycomore is simply the best vetiver scent available.
What about Cuir de Russie?
Great video 🤩
Absolutely love Sycomore. Probably my favorite in the entire house.
Have you done Le Lion?
You should do a review on all of JEAN PAUL GAUILTIER men perfumes! how long they last & ranking etc.....I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks
Alure, the original, used to be my absolute favorite back in the early 2000s. But, as you said, it has no power theese days. A concentrated version would sell like mad.
Get the eu exteme then
Seb seb seb I was finally expecting Chanel Eau de Cologne les exclusifs would appear in this list but it's not the case ☹️.
But I guess you might not own it. Shame it's such a great classy cologne
I don’t own it! Maybe soon! You know?
@@ThePerfumeGuy I'm definitely hoping you'll get it
Is still Boy your favourite Chnel fragrance?
Didnt hear the allure home sport cologne
Haven't watched yet but i do hope you do a Chanel list for women/unisex leaning towards women. I trust this channel so much hahaha🙏😁👍
As mentioned in this video: th-cam.com/video/kBzDWr6coLQ/w-d-xo.html I plan on doing it for sure!! :)
unisex frags are a big Y?
I would definitely like to see a new designer release by Chanel. Perhaps their next release will usher in a new era of men’s fragrance, away from the current ‘Blue wave’ trend. Btw...OG Allure is a my favorite Chanel, extreme is a close second.
I lovr 1957 and Sycomore the most!
1. Sycomore, a masterpiece 2. Égoïste, a incredible sandalwood fragrance 3. Eau de cologne, best eau de cologne ever 4. Paris Deauville 5. Coromandel (I’m surprised it’s not here, it’s clearly unisex to me, as Boy is)
Eau Fraiche?
The best Coromandel
Surprised not seeing coromandel in the list 🤔
You forgot Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne. Stunningly good in summer. Surprised it is not here.
I don't own everything! :)
Allure Homme extreme sport would be the greatest if it had better longitivtiy.
I repurchased AHSEE in December and it has 8-9h longevity.
Whats the difference between EDT and EDP?
Watch this: th-cam.com/video/miVNbdTvbm0/w-d-xo.html
No Coromandel? 😀
