    It took me a while, but I've finally warmed up to Egoiste. When I first started wearing cologne, I went through a little tester and didn't find anything special (not sure what I was looking for back then), but a few months ago tried it again. Now it's one of my favorites. Luca Turin says it smells like candied fruit, and I do get that; it also has a spicy, creamy sandalwood base that comes out over time. I think it's a wonderful fragrance, and I would even say it's in my top five right now. This doesn't smell "trendy" at all, but good smells are timeless.

    This is a great woody and spicy fragrance.
    Great woody notes mixed with beautiful aroma of cinnamon and some floral notes. yummy! :)
    Some say this fragrance smell dated but it's not. I'm around 29 and I love this scent on my skin.
    Very good projection and longevity.

    This is such a great scent for me, after all these years. Now that I'm older it seems to last much longer than when I was younger. Love it!

    I was introduced to this fragrance by a German girlfriend. The only difference being that she gave me the Cologne Concentree rather than the EDT. I have had little luck in locating the CC in the last few years and am down to my last half bottle. If anyone has a source they would share, I would greatly appreciate it.

    This was the first bottle i started my collection with, i bought it blind based on the positive reviews it had gotten.. was really excited, got home took a sniff and i really didnt know if i could wear this. it smelled kinda like those weird wooden fans and stuff u often find in asian houses.. i really hated it tbh.. but i kept wearing it wearing it, i cant really stand the opening if i put my wrist close to my nose, but just letting it do its thing without oversniffing myself i got a very pleasant woody florally spicey sweet scent which would actually be the drydown later.. longevity is good i actually just sprayed myself 2hours before going to bed woke up in morning put on la nuit de l'homme and now that la nuit is gone, i still catch whiffs of egoiste from time to time, projection is moderate could smell myself for 4 hours when applied to chest.

    Egoiste opens up with a heavy wood aspect accompanied by a spicy aroma which trough time enters into agreement with rose, but not a pure rose, in here we have a semi-sweet one, thanks to the appearance of a light vanilla.

    A rich fragrance, dense with a woody chord mixed with spices in a wonderful combination which makes me think about the edible aspect of Ambre Narguilè. Egoiste does not remembers at all his younger brother Platinum Egoiste which I also love. Do not blind buy it just because you enjoy platinum and they share the same name.
