Poll: Egoiste vs. Platinum Egoiste , which do you prefer

[afraafra]

Which do you prefer?

[Stereotomy]

They're two entirely different scents, there's nothing to compare but the name.

[afraafra]

They're two entirely different scents, there's nothing to compare but the name.

Granted, but most people buy one or the other, being dissimilar is beside the point IMHO.

[ToughCool]

PE, without a doubt. Wearing it right now.

[petruccijc]

I prefer Egoiste Concentree

[jaba]

I prefer and really got to like egoiste. Using the egoiste concentree though.

[irish]

PE is good but I say Egoiste is far better,

[Mudassir]

Egoiste it is.

[bbBD]

There's something about the dominant spice note in Egoiste - nutmegish - that doesn't mesh with me.

Thus, Platinum gets my vote.

[Stereotomy]

No, that's exactly the point. They are so different, that besides the name, there's no reason not do have both. Simply because they are different.

[Kevin Guyer]

I love the original. Rosewood, spices and a lovely oriental base. IMO, the Platinum version has nothing to do with the original; it's way too mainstream.

[jrd4t]

Agreed.

[moltening]

They're two totally different beasts.
I'd take Egoiste.

[KiatBkk]

I voted for Platinum Egoiste.

[distortech]

My vote is for Egoiste.

My feelings exactly!

[Suppressor]

They both get sour and sweaty on me.

I don't understand why people like this so much...
Because when I smell it on other people, it also smells sweaty.

212 Men by Caroline Herrera does the same thing to me.

[KMF]

Egoiste is the better / more interesting scent... Platinum Egoiste is more versatile though...

[deck89]

Platinum Egoiste for me.. The other is too stuffy

[P-Natra]

I got both, but Egoiste would be my choice, if I only can choose one. Chanel is a great house!

[Circa1905]

Égoïste, by far.

As far as I'm concerned, however, Jacques Polge could piss in a bottle, and I'd probably wear it. Well, not quite, but you get the idea...

[Dimitrios]

I agree with stereotomy .
Did you use the search functions frafra ?

Platinum Egoiste by far! It is my main scent I wear and the amount of compliments I get is just unreal.

Egoiste smells like Christmas in Candyland or something, it's a heavy scent that reminds me of gingerbread cookies.

[globetrekker]

Although both are nice scents to me, Egoiste is the clear winner.

[frank06]

I`ve got both but if i had to choose one it would be Egoiste.

[Big_Scooter]

Only tried PE so far, and that was only off a paper strip. I wasn't blown away, but I rarely am when smelling something that isn't on me.

[HDS1963]

I wear both, but Platinum Egoiste is my preferred fragrance by a country mile. As someone else said, it's more versatile - and woman always remark on it when I wear it, which they have never done when I've worn Egoiste.

[heythatslife]

Except for the sweetness and the name, there's nothing in common between the two - as many others have pointed before me.

PE is more versatile, I agree, but the original is so much more interesting. I owned PE for a while but I got bored with it and swapped it away - instead I got myself a bottle of Egoiste, which I think is a keeper.

[samplermike]

PE because I draw the line at smelling like flowers.

[Bovine21]

Egoiste is the scent for me......absolutely adore it. Platinum is totally different to the original. I think Chanel should remove Egoiste Platinum from the bottle and market it as Platinum. The two scents are not similar at all.

[alfarom]

Egoiste hands down

[hednic]

Egoiste

[Bonoanimoes]

The Fact that both perfumes share "Egoiste"on their name, does not mean at all, that they will smell alike.
This is like comparing Caviar and Chocolate.
Egoiste is a Fantastic Fragrance and Rumor has it, that its mother was the Chanel's Iconic Classic Bois des Îsles
Egoiste Platinum is a Fougére - What does that mean? Fougére - The class of fragrances have the basic accord with a top-note of lavender and base-notes of oakmoss and coumarin.

[Ken_Russell]

Both

[sillypants]

I find Egoiste beautiful and PE vile.

[LOST!]

By far Egoiste over PE, any day. Platinum Egoiste is ok, but just ok (too much like furniture polish for my liking)... Egoiste is simply wonderful!!

[YEAHBUDDY]

Platinum Egoiste, Schmatinum Egoiste.

OG Egoiste all day.
