|  I've never cared for Egoiste since its inception in 1990. It has an unusual smell to it that to this day I find medicinal and reminds me of something called Robutussin cough syrup. I would never wear this or recommend it to anyone else but do understand that everyone is different and feels differently about fragrance. Whatever floats your boat. 13 May 2008 |

|  This is truly the worst scent I have ever bought. Its so damn SWEET!!!. My wife says it smells like "OFF" bug spray and I tend to agree. Awful, horrible and disgusting come to mind when I smell this. Why are there so many positive reviews here?!?! Is something wrong with me and my wife or did we get a bad bottle? Its EDT BTW. 22 December 2007 |

|  Once again with Chanel men's line, I'm disappointed... All I get in this one is a sweet rose-coriander accord. I was really expecting something more. They could make this better by INCREASING the dosages of jasmine, carnation, neroli, clove, cinnamon, ambrette seed and moss, and DECREASING the dosages of rose, vanilla, coriander and tangerine. Its too sweet and too christmas-y! Not impressed! 11 June 2007 |

|  Now then, have you ever heard the saying 'if it ain't broke don't fix it?' Glad they brought out the 'Platinum' version of this. It's like sherry and Christmas cake. A winter smell full of spice and candied dried fruits, it's Oriental in too sweet a way for a man. 24 February 2007 |

|  This would be a nice fragrance if you could actually smell it. I put it on at 3 PM, and I’m liking it. I smell a bit of rose, then some honey, and then some nice vanilla. Very pleasant. The only problem is that the scent progression happens in about 20 minutes, and after that, it’s gone. By 5:20 PM, I can hardly even detect it anymore. I thrust my head back, trying to generate some kind—any kind—of fragrance waft from my neck. I get nothing. I run my finger down my neck and smell it. Nothing. What a ripoff. No more Chanel for me. 22 January 2007 |

|  I just wish it had stayed a limited edition. Egoiste has a very medicinal smell to it that I find unpleasant. I'll pass thanks. 09 December 2002 |
