This is the ONE. It really is, believe me. I have had a lot of perfumes (+100) designer, niche, cheap, rare and every kind of perfumes but this one have "something different". I don't want to say pheromones but ladies at my work always ALWAYS tell me they love how I smell. Clean, sexy, masculine, mysterious, different. Awesome. A brilliant f4cking underrated masterpiece from the 90's

How old are these ladies

@@iZUCAR707 hahaha I was going to ask the same thing and died laughing when I saw both the above comment + your reaction 😂😂😭😭 No doubt it is an amazing fragrance with a timeless scent profile, but there is no way that young girls (18-28 let’s say) are reacting to this with primal sexual instincts like they do to JPG Male line, Eros, YSL Y EDP, Givenchy, Terre D’Hermes, Spicebomb Extreme… you get the point haha. But Obama, thank you for that laugh 😂😂🤣🤣

[@ohmyrod6715]

Platinum Egoiste is one of those fragrances that will always have to be in my collection. For people newer to the community the bottle may put them off because of its simplistic packaging. I love that haha. I’ve actually never smelled anyone wearing this aside form myself. Great review Aaron.

[@JayTheRed8]

The nostalgia with this fragrance is off the scale for me. When I was in my early twenties and enjoying the club scene Notorious BIG released a song called "Nasty Girl" and one of the lyrics is "Platinum chanel cologe...ing, I stay... dressed to impress, spark this b*tches interest" and it was the biggest song at the time. I remember thinking what "aftershave" (thats what I called it then) is he talking about so I bought it and have forever loved it. This will never leave my collection.

[@w0251605]

Hey Jay Was that a biggie smalls song I’m curious because I think I just heard that song for the first time four days ago. Lol Either way this was my favorite dress up nighttime cologne or for any kind of work parties. My girlfriend another time and all of her friends loved it. That’s when I was in my early 20s as well.

[@tittsmcgee7004]

People rave about Blu de Chanel but I love this one more! Excellent spring/summer scent. Good longevity but not beast mode.

[@pinzytoto7698]

This used to be beastmode in the 90s to early 2000s, my go to scent. They reformulated it and sadly it's a shadow of its former self.

[@scent_jeannie]

They have taken the metallic note down and it’s not the same 😩

[@pinzytoto7698]

used to get stopped in packed clubs by people asking what I was wearing. projection and longevity was truely beastmode. Scent would remain on your clothes 24hrs. it was truely unrivaled in the 90s to early 2000s. No suprise Biggie mentioned it in a song.

[@sO_RoNerY]

@@scent_jeannie it happens to every fragrance. It's nothing new. Gotta respect it and continue to use it. No sense letting fragrances be put to a stop because people don't like the change.

[@royzevisionneur2045]

@@pinzytoto7698 maybe it's because it was eau de parfum? Now I only see eau de toilette

[@ChescoYT]

A true MASTERPIECE in men's fragrance! One of those fragrances that changed the game. Released in 1993, Notorious BIG's signature scent when he first started making money and shopping for luxury. Still smells good even after reformulation. The base of Egoiste is the base for Bleu de Chanel. Best clone is 'Hugo Boss - Green' for only $20 bucks!

[@griponreality9716]

Agreed. Also check out Eau De Passion by Frank Olivier it's simply fantastic especially being only 20 dollars makes it a steal

MB Legend (original EDT) also has a similar vibe but is much sweeter/fruitier and more synthetic.

[@augustinefaithdefender]

It is already affordable, why need the clone?

[@1Interloper]

@rheililin Yeah he rapped about it in a song

[@RobbieSwan]

Bleu Parfum you have a 10. Platinum Egoiste a 10 and Edition Blanche a 9. You know you’re dealing with a fantastic fragrance house with those scores from Aaron.

[@travisn346]

And I think Allure Homme Sport might even top those. Chanel does it right.

[@yunisazizli7737]

Finally someone appreciating this masterpiece. Forget Bleu de Chanel, Dior Sauvage, Prada Lhomme. This is the boss in the office.

Platinum Egoïste it's my love from the first sniff,still my number one.Lot of love for you Aaron from Poland.

[@farbrother123]

This used to be my go to scent during the late nineties early 2000s. At the time it was a unique smell that ladies and men loved. Thanks for the throwback memories x❤️

[@stevetrabajo4065]

What do you think about it's longevity?

How would it be if a 20 year old wore it today? Very unique? Out of place?

Definitely one of my favorites. Bought it this year and was blown away by the smell. Such a refined fragrance.

[@milosdjokovic8241]

Looking forward to get this one 😊

[@flightgravity7483]

This is my signature scent. Gorgeous and sophisticated. I can wear this with a tshirt and jeans and still feel elegant.

[@TonCon89]

One of my favourites of all time. A perfectly balanced masterpiece. Nice analysis!

[@he-man_]

I hope they release an elixir version of this frag… much needed 4 sure! This is a hidden gem from the time when fragrances were actually and virtually an indispensable extension of your personality into the world around you… good old times back…

[@ImSlowAndStupid]

A man can wish! This is easily one of my favourites, unfortunately doesnt last and doesnt project after 2-3 hours.

[@vukasinstanisavljevic4387]

I love this too! A classic 90's barbershop aromatic fougere made modern with massive ammounts of hedione and geraniol. You should also try the original Égoïste it's even better.

[@benjohnston3109]

I love this one also. I read a comment somewhere saying that this fragrance is beautiful at any time but becomes absolutely spiritual in the heat. I completely agree, having worn it for a while now. Lines up to buy a coffee a few weeks back and everyone in the line (6 or more people) gave me massive compliments... rather embarrassed :D I couple of extra sprays on skin and clothes makes the longevity go to 6+hrs for me. Thanks Aaron, I love your reviews even if I rarely disagree I always learn something.

[@jacobnoergaard]

Thumbs up Aaron, I wholly agree with you on this. It's a fragrance I've had previously and one I need to get again soon. Just a classic.

[@edgroves2051]

The amount of compliments I’ve had from women over the years with this one is ridiculous.

[@davids_d3246]

Young and old? great fragrance

[@anthonyo4346]

I have been wearing this fragrance for years. 3/4 through my 3rd bottle. Not strong a projection, but the fragrance clings to my skin for 6+ hours. Definitely a reapply through out the day option. I receive lots of compliments with this one. Great review, as always, Aaron.

[@EOTA564]

Pour Monsieur original EDT is a wonderful manly scent but performance is mild. I think that’s part of its character though. It’s not meant to be an in your face fragrance.

[@waynemorris4346]

This is one of the most important perfumes in my collection. It was my first serious perfume. I received my first bottle in 1995 on my 21st birthday and I still have roughly 20ml left. I use it only on special occasions. I have gone through a couple more bottles over the years. It was in fact, my wedding scent too. It was my signature scent until 1998 when my wife decided I needed to broaden my horizons 🤣 And that was truly the beginning of my love of perfumes 😁 I'm glad you enjoy it too Aaron ☺️ My original bottle does last a good 6-8 hrs.... Newer bottles are not as long lasting but maintain the scent profile IMO 🙂

[@JoraMoiSosed]

Platinum Egoist is my favorite fragrance, thanks Aaron!

[@tonyl5676]

Yes!!! Just started obsessing over fragrances 2 years ago, up to about 100 bottles, as soon as I smelled this I loved it and went out and bought my father a bottle.

Thanks for sharing!!

Gorgeus description, you described it perfectly. I also love this fragance.

[@stephenfuquay8919]

You should make a fragrance inspired off of this one. You mentioned at the end you wouldn’t mind seeing a few things. Make a Parfum inspired version of this! I would forsure buy.

[@theoleskau8822]

Love this one!! Such a good spring fragrance. Smells like fresh out of the barber shop

[@_Palmi]

I am a woman, i love it and find it to be a masterpiece, I imagine thats how Alain Delon smells, its one of the first perfumes on my perfume journey that intrigued me and i have been wanting to buy it for my collection but i keep investing into more feminine ones first and...your day will come, Platinum Egoiste... just don't get discontinued yet :)

[@Jindujun]

After watching a lot of reviews over the weeks I always come back to you Aaron because you just share your opinion about perfumes so uniquely and interesting. Always so much background information that you learn to love and understand those fragrances on another level.

[@Zetsumei88]

Brilliant! I love Platinum Egoiste and feel it's very underrated in the community. Especially with some people saying it makes you smell like Euro trash and I roll my eyes at those comments. If you can get your hands on the OG Egoiste Cologne Concentree that one is a treat. If I remember correctly, it has Mysore sandalwood in it. The modern EDT of the OG Egoiste is still nice, but nothing compared to the concentree. Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@flamboyant91]

This is my fav chanel. Normally I'm into dark, heavy or sweet fragrances, but this one just does it for me. It smells sophisticated but effortless at the same time.

[@kiandresmith2840]

When the wind blows while wearing this 🤯 gorgeous scent

[@lukeweeks3470]

I really think you should review Chanel's Antaeus. It's basically Kouros (which I know was one of your first fragrances you bought) but with the Chanel touch. Much smoother and absolutely beautiful. If I can easily summarise it, it's a citrusy Chypre with a woody, leathery undertone. Antaeus launched in 1981. I think your scent, "Deviant" is probably the closest to Antaeus, though I haven't smelled Deviant yet! Even though Platinum Égoïste was launched in 1993, it seems like a much more modern scent than its age would imply! It's so fresh and lovely.

[@christopher5040]

antaeus has nothing to do with kouros...at all !!

[@searcheroftruth7308]

@@christopher5040 agreed, totally different fragrance and and not as crude as Kouros either actually.

[@lukeweeks3470]

@@christopher5040They were both launched in 1981 and are considered some of the “powerhouse” fragrances of the 80s. Antaeus was basically Chanel’s answer to the musky, dark fragrances from the late 70s and early 80s. Like it or not, Kouros and Antaeus are incredibly similar. Not in their smell, but in their target audience.

[@christopher5040]

@@lukeweeks3470 thanks for your answer...I really admire CHANEL, I do not know another Maison capable of playing so gracefully with aldehydes, even in "Christalle" there are some in the top notes. Despite of everything, my very fav of mine is " pour monsieur" edp and edp...as I consider it being some kind of n°5 for men. best regards to you.

[@santeripe]

Could you do Xerjoff Nio in the future? It's a cult classic bergamot neroli, with great longevity and superb ingredient quality. Probably THE citrus for many citrus lovers

[@waltermodel6647]

Platinum Egoiste is my all time favorite and signature scent. A lot of people shit on it but I dont get that. Something so timeless can never be dated by definition.

[@mydaddonohoe2947]

Probably the most underrated Fragrance reviewer out there, excellent review 👏

[@jwray5583]

There’s just something about it’s smell. I’m in no way smart enough as Aaron is to pick up all the subtle characteristics…but when I tried it on my skin at Sephora, I walked out to my car, cranked it, cut it back off, walked back in, and bought it right then. It’s wonderful year round to me, but is spectacular in the Summer.

[@alexanders180]

This is my dad‘s favorite fragrance, i have a bottle but rarely ever wear it, only on special occasions. Absolutely stunning scent that is the one fragrance i would keep if i had to choose only one.

[@nealo814]

Had it 20 years ago. Lovely scent. Might have to grab a bottle. Frag nostalgia

Love at first sniff for me. Super nostalgic and shaving-creamy in the best way.

It's the #1 in the "Expensive shower gel fragrance genre". ;) A dumb reach with no unpleasant secrets. And I love it.

Thank you Aaron for your review...

[@shockalockabocka]

I had this in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and two, TWO, sprays was enough. My laundry always smelled like it, and I would always had ppl asking what I was wearing at the laundromat. I bought a new bottle recently and it doesn’t have as many phases/complexity as it used to have, but I still love it. The beginning used to be so dark and literally metallic. But then it would bloom and last on your clothes for days!

[@self-helpnathan6557]

Platinum Egoist is my early morning office scent. It’s one of those fragrances that does well in the office at 6am because it smells like an expensive luxury aftershave. It’s gone by lunch time though

Hi ATH, I am loyal fan, this is the video that introduced me to you, Platinum Egoiste has been go to signature for most if not all occasions since I was 25 years old, its still a favorite and in my current rotation today, problem is, it doesn't last - and seems to last less so now 20 years later - could you recommend another fugere with similar scent DNA that might last longer, perhaps in an EDP or Parfum concentration?
