Wow, and to think I've avoided vintage Chanels for this long. Egoiste will be my introduction point to them. I finally cracked and bought a bottle recently. After years of holding off on a scent I thought was too rubbery, too sweet, too oriental for all but winter wear.....I finally got a good one. I feel foolish now for ever even thinking Platinum Egoiste (in it's non-rubbery, rich vintage formula) was ever better than the OG Egoiste.
I agree with Petrucci, Egoiste is a masterpiece.
