Platinum Égoïste

The first masculine perfume Pour Monsieur was born in 1955. Discreet and appealing, this first masculine juice won over many men… In 1990, Chanel unveiled Egoïste. The latter managed to defy the conservative scents of the time and established itself through its strong personality. Along the same lines, in 1993, Egoïste Platinum was presented with a more floral side, perhaps easier to wear.

Égoïste, yet unique

In 1990, Egoïste appeared as THE perfume for dandy men. Its woody-spicy-amber composition was unique and unprecedented. At a time when the trend was for fresh scents, Egoïste, going against the current, appealed through its assertive and elusive character. Egoïste Platinum also underscores the unique side of the Chanel man. Here, balance combines with power to offer an uncommon composition. The Egoïste Platinum man is extroverted, and knows how to assert himself. Brilliant, Egoïste Platinum revolves around energy and light, and lends a very virile aspect to the egoïste man. One says of an eloquent and brilliant man that he has platinum, and that is exactly what Chanel conveys olfactively with Egoïste Platinum, a man full of boldness with a temperament as assertive as it is brilliant.

Égoïste Platinum's green-fougère accord

Égoïste Platinum relies on a perfect green-fougère accord, with the aromatic freshness of lavender and rosemary. Egoïste Platinum opens on the aromatic and very fresh notes of lavender and rosemary. These are paired with neroli and enhanced by petitgrain from Paraguay. The heart is green, herbaceous, aromatic to the utmost thanks to the combination of clary sage, galbanum and geranium. The base is woody and unfolds all its virility with the presence of vetiver, cedar and labdanum. Sandalwood wraps everything in an exotic warmth. Its bottle remains similar to that of its predecessor, imposing. Its frank and generous structure is meant to be the image of a strong, self-assured man. The cap, meanwhile, brings a touch of modernity. Understated and elegant, Égoïste Platinum is without question the perfume of an eloquent man.

While the trend at the time favored fresh scents for men, Jacques Polge, then the house of Chanel's perfumer, created Egoïste in 1990. With its strong character, Egoïste found its place in men's wardrobes. In 1993, Egoïste Platinum came to complete this fine collection. While it still possesses an imposing and independent temperament, Egoïste Platinum is intended to be more floral than its elder. Just as unique, Egoïste Platinum reflects a brilliant man.
