Do you think Chanel Platinum Egoiste and Mont Blanc Legend are different enough to buy both?

I bought Mont Blanc Legend recently and love it. Especially for the price. It's good stuff. Havent been able to find Platinum Egoiste to test though...

For me owning both would be redundant, they're just too similar. Don't forget about A&F Fierce, I put it in that group as well.

Edit: Ed Hardy Skulls and Roses is another one that is quite similar.

I think they are different enough to own both. PE is less refined, louder and metallic. I prefer fragrances that project but this time Mont Blanc trumps Channel.

I also didn't find them to be all that close. I love Legend...wasn't all that impressed with PE. It was okay, but nothing stood out. I liked original Egoiste better. I'd say go ahead and try PE for yourself so you can compare them. Enjoy your Legend, though. Good stuff.

They both share the same opening that is found in zillions of blends. Of all of them, PE is the best, due to complexity, longevity and sillage, IMHO.

I am another to think that they are different as well.... I have received alot of compliments from wearing Platinum the only thing I dislike about this fragrance is that I have to spray a ton on for people to notice. This is one fragrance my skin eats up for some reason. I don't think you can go wrong owning both. Enjoy
