I prefer Jaipur EdP.

Needless to say it would be Jaipur EDP, king of kings.

Also, Jaipur EDP has to be the best looking bottle out there.

Compared to current formulation of Egoiste which literally disappeared in 3 hrs. from my skin (tested twice, in different occasions), I found Jaipur EDP longer lasting and better projecting. Regarding the scent itself as a matter of own taste, I personally prefer the EDT version over the EDP (wish I remember better how original Egoiste fills in this ranking...probably between these two).

Egoiste is my choice.

I would go for Jaipur. A timeless classic both in EdP and EdT forms. Somehow I never could warm up to Egoiste.

Egoiste.

Egoiste. I didn't think this was even a contest, but maybe I need to give Jaipur another try.

Jaipur EDP.

In my experience, Jaipur EDP is the pick. Egoiste smells nice in the bottle, but does poorly on my skin. Jaipur EDP was a real fave of mine about 12 years ago.

Tough call.. I'm going to go with Egoiste on this one. Simply because Jaipur EDP is so strong I get sick of it and don't feel like wearing it for months on end.

From my experience, the latest formulation of Egoiste develops and projects and lasts longer in the cold weather.

I like both, but I'd eventually choose Jaipur.

Enjoy both, prefer Egoiste.

Dunno for vintage...
for now, Jaipur EDP by a long range

Regards, Odor.

Same here.

Jaipur was extremely unpleasant when I sprayed it, too old mannish, Egoiste while not exactly my favorite I think is a better fragrance
post #23 of 41
I prefer Egoiste by Chanel.
post #24 of 41
Jaipur for me. Love that vanilla dry down and it really is not old man ish. Any young guy can pull it off.
post #25 of 41
Egoiste by Chanel.

Can't believe Jaipur is actually winning this, I thought Egoiste was untouchable on this forum
post #27 of 41
My vote for the mighty Egoiste, my favourite fragrance still in production, just tied the scores at 13-all.
post #28 of 41
Dislike both.

You and me both. I thought it would be 100 to 3 or something.

Two different scents in a somewhat similar genre. You really need to smell both and decide for yourself. There is no "better" between the two IMO just different.

Egoisté

After reading through the posts it's clear my obsession with Jaipur EDP is valid.

Oh man, Jaipur EDP by a long shot for me. I only have the Platinum Egoiste but either way it would go to Jaipur EDP. Its my go to and almost signature fragrance. I have both the edt and etp and they're both great. EDT can be used year round but I usually bring it out for the warmer months. EDP inst as potent as some would make it out to be but I still pretty much use it as my winter fragrance.

I had a sample of Platinum Egoiste, and hated it and figured why bother with the original. What a mistake! i got a decant of Egoiste and want to wear it every day in the cool weather!

I have a decant of Jaipur Homme EDP on the way, so i cannot compare just yet!

I wore them side by side and something in the Platinum makes me sick, while the original is probably my favorite at the moment, and will be in my collection always.

Perhaps a bump to allow Jaipur Homme EDP to catch up

Wow, I'm surprised Jaipur even got close. Much prefer Egoiste myself but J is very nice.
