This is an absolute masterpiece in my humble opinion.. a perfect signature scent and is quite versatile.. I've ran through two 100ml bottles already and on my way to get my third.. Egoiste, Platinum Egoiste and Antaeus are my absolute favorites from this house..
Simply one of the best of all time and it is still a fantastic scent in 2023. Others may come and go, but Platinum Egoiste remains a timeless masterpiece. Seeing as this is the 30th anniversary of its release I wonder if Chanel might commemorate it with releasing something like a Parfum concentration. Anyway this is a wonderful review as usual good sir, love your appreciation, knowledge and enthusiasm for fragrances.
My best friend wore this in university 20 years ago and I was wearing the original Allure Homme at the time. Now he rocks Allure Homme as his is signature scent and I'm about to pull the trigger on Platinum Egoiste!
It just dawned on me that I have enjoyed many videos and had yet to subscribe. Well… no longer. I also feel compelled to say that there is not a single fragrance reviewer who delivers as much insight and engagement as you do. Well done AC. You have a gift and I’m glad you share it!
I was blown away by this scent when I first tried it in store... its still on my purchase list... but haven't gotten around to it. Waiting to finish a bottle in my collection before I add this one, got enough fragrances already
Subscribed 👍 a breath of fresh air in the UA-cam fragrance world. Excellent review. Platinum Egoist left a huge impression on me the first time I laid my nose on it, sadly I purchased Bleu De Chanel EDP and I cannot smell it after an hour or so. I hope Platinum Egoist lasts longer than Bleu De Chanel.
Another classy review AC, I never felt the similarities with GIT previously but now you've mentioned it I can. I love my fougere fragrances and this fits in with them nicely 👍
I bought this one because of you recommendation and I absolutely adore it. It has become one of my most favorite scents of all time over the past couple of weeks. It's elegant, classy, versatile, high quality, just as you said. We had between 29 and under 10 degrees over the past couple of weeks, sunny days and also rainy days and it always smelled amazing. Can't wait to see what it smells like in winter. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this review. I most probably would've never tried it if it wasn't for you. Keep up the great work AC!
Great observation AC! Was smelling Platinum Egoiste and GIT while watching your review and I 100% agree. Another big, common element is that both of these scents are timeless, while many other interpretations of GIT smell dated in today's age. Yet another fantastic review.
This man nose is very good, imho opinion I use all except armaf legesi clone for platinum egoiste. But Aspen, git and platinum egoiste are all the same
One of my all time favourites. I personally think you can rock this casual/smart casual with a crisp white tee. Great review as always and I never thought of it as Chanel’s GIT which is a good observation 👍🏼
One of my favourites. I can consider this to be my signature scent which can be worn on almost all occasions one can think of. But then again, this is true for most of the Chanel lineup. Please bring us something new Chanel 🙈
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews yeah, although, to be fair, they did in the last decade not only Bleu de Chanel EdT, EdP and Parfum but also Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme, Pour Monsieur EdP and Allure Homme Edition Blanche EdP. But then again, all are flankers or rereleases :/. When you compare that to the women's lineup, there is no comparison honestly in terms of volume...
Thanks for the review AC. I have Allure home extreme and Bleu de chanel which i love.. I also like my wife chanel chance 😊. Chanel is an exceptional designer perfume brand. Something about the DNA.
I think you are the first reviewer to say that this was created to compete with Green irish tweed .I have never smelled g.i.t but I've owned cool water and trees nuit. I intend to purchase g.i.t this year so I'll do the comparison. Platinum always gets me compliments when I wear it to work.
Hey AC. After your watching your review I bought Armaf Legesi. Damn that fragrance is literally beautiful. I mean it gives a feeling like standing out from the crowd. Because most of the people prefers spicy and oud type of fragnances. But Legesi does gives a powerful performance and create beautiful aroma around. It really mixes good with air. Thank you AC.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Same as me i never saw the connexion between them but now that you're talking about it makes a bit of sense but i really like my Chanel and GIT not at all, strange world!!!
Iconic fragrance, almost as satisfying as AC's "Fellaaaas" opening - they both put a smile on my face every time. I have PE on my on my left arm and GIT on my right. The only difference to me is PE is more bright/sharp, and GIT more leafy-earthy. I give a slight dry down edge to Creed. Wonderful insights, touché AC!
Hello AC.I purchased this when it first came out. It has changed a little over the years. But, my opinion has not. It is still one of my favorites. Every time I finish a bottle, I buy another. Thanks for the video. Be safe.
Great review! Platinum Egoiste 10/10 for sure! 😊 I have worn this fragrance to work, during the day almost everyday! I have had several compliments…”you always smell so good,” etc. 👍🏼 This fragrance AND the OG Egoiste are my favorites! Very different as you said, but BOTH are certainly masterpieces by Jacque Polge! I am actually wearing Egoiste now, but usually wear Platinum Egoiste. Your reviews are so detailed and thoughtful, AC! Great JOB 👏🏼 and here, here to Chanel’s 2 BEST! EGOISTE, an acquired taste…spicy, sophisticated, calming, an amazing fragrance! Platinum Egoiste, fresh, classy, clean and uplifting! THANK YOU, Mr. Polge, for these two wonderful fragrances!!!🎉
My bread and butter perfume since 2005. Its a strictly business scent for me. Business lunch, overseas meetings, days at the office? Platinum Egoiste will get you through any of them even the long monotonous ones in stride. Great review for the current day formulation of Platinum Egoiste. I do miss the earlier formulation which to my memory projected more and lasted longer. But the thing with memory, is that I can’t tell if its true because it just is or its just that I was not exposed to as much niche houses as I have now to compare it with.. But scent wise, I still smell the same Platinum Egoiste, though again here I couldn’t tell if my scent memory is adding on to the actual scent to make them smell the same or not 🤷🏻♂️. Oh well, best to just enjoy it! Edit: I came across a sample of Hasu No Hana by Grossmith London this week and I’m considering whether I should buy a bottle of it or not.. Have you tried Hasu No Hana and any thoughts if you have?
Overall, I think Chanel men’s fragrances are more well made and well constructed than the women’s ones, for the current version, I only own Chanel 19 and Chanel 19 Poudre, the other reformulated ones are lacking the “bite”.
Great review to a fantastic scent. You sir summarized that scent perfectly. I have a great memories with this fragrance, it was my first real/expensive fragrance. Previously I was using Adidas and some cheap fragrances but I needed something better when I started my career in the corporation. I smelled it on one guy, he smelled like successful man and I loved it from the very first scent. Of course I asked the guy what it was and then bought it. I would also call it "professional". If you want to smell elegant and be considered as a professional go for it.
My girlfriend in 1993 work at a high end department store. She got me this scent i loved it and you just reminded me im out to purchase this! I wore Chanel Antaeus, Balenciaga, habit rouge, and fahrenheit. I still use them today, can you recommend something to me?
Great video AC. I love the original Egoiste but not this one. I also have and love GIT and had never associated with this one. Next time I go to the mall I will revisit. Regards from Mexico.
Feeellllaaaaaaas this one is better than GIT. Better value, better performance, better scent. GIT has great opening which lasts 5 minutes, then just left a cheap synthetic sandalwood
Pour Monsieur to most noses today would smell outdated and would remind a lot of people of their granddad. PE so far has stood the test of time and is as elegant and wearable as it was 28 years ago.
I like it but for me its a linear fragrance that don't take me for a journey. It doesn't change like Beau de jour p.e so this is less interesting to me.
Sad that Chanel released Platinum Egoiste because the regular Egoiste didn't sell to, as they said "unsophisticated American men." Platinum Egoiste comes off with that typical "cologne guy" smell that American men seem to love.
This is an absolute masterpiece in my humble opinion.. a perfect signature scent and is quite versatile.. I've ran through two 100ml bottles already and on my way to get my third.. Egoiste, Platinum Egoiste and Antaeus are my absolute favorites from this house..

@sf2explus Trying to warm up to Antaeus - it's a bit strong for me!
@sf2explus I'll keep on wearing it and one day it should click!
It just dawned on me that I have enjoyed many videos and had yet to subscribe. Well… no longer. I also feel compelled to say that there is not a single fragrance reviewer who delivers as much insight and engagement as you do. Well done AC. You have a gift and I’m glad you share it!
That's the white shirt of a business man in a bottle.
well said :)
I was blown away by this scent when I first tried it in store... its still on my purchase list... but haven't gotten around to it. Waiting to finish a bottle in my collection before I add this one, got enough fragrances already
good strategy Faheem :)
Excellent review, AC! As always.
Agree this Chanel is timeless classy and chic. For elegant men.
With greetings from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Thank you , I am so happy to hear I am reaching Kazakhstan :)

Love Platinum all the way through, a masterpiece. Have a slightly older bottle, lasts all day. Will never be without it. 👍
Lovely to hear that :)
A fabulous review of my favourite fragrance of all time. Riveting watching as always, AC!
Thank you Anton, very kind of you.

Indeed, it just appeared to me recently :)
What's AC & GIT
Would it be redundant to own both or do they have their own character?
This man nose is very good, imho opinion I use all except armaf legesi clone for platinum egoiste. But Aspen, git and platinum egoiste are all the same

I hope they do something in addition to BdC flankers.

Yes I believe I am the first reviewer to see the similarities to GIT. I am to hear Platinum works well for you :)

I am so happy to hear that Anuj :) I will do a comparison between this and Legesi soon.
I purchased Legesi as well.
I think it's fantastic!
Hey brother where did you purchase legesi can you refer me, as I'm in the uk it's hard to find it.
@@uncleunique9053
Did you receive my post?
@@jasonbenford3427 which post?
My signature scent!!! Very nice review Sir
Thank you Jovi :)
Interesting, I'd never have thought of this as similar to GIT.
me too, it just appeared to me while I was testing GIT for review alongside lay a dry down of this and the penny dropped on me :)
Calvin Klein copied platinum egoiste with eternity
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Same as me i never saw the connexion between them but now that you're talking about it makes a bit of sense but i really like my Chanel and GIT not at all, strange world!!!
@@chrisscentsillage5321 yeah mate, I only discovered it recently too and was quite amused :)
As always... a great review! I appreciate your detail and depth of understanding of the fragrance.
I bought this because of your review and I was not disappointed. It is a stunning fragrance. Screams masculine confidence and success.
Great review AC! Also love Platinum Egoiste!
Two sprays to the neck does not hold up for more than 5 hours but wow the first couple hours are incredible. Fresh and professional
I like it very much and MDCI Le Barbier de Tanger is in the same vein imho, also great.
The best way I can describe it is that it smells Rich.
haha indeed :)
Had this as a 21st birthday present
Nice!

That Creed ambergris dry down is magical 🪄
Hello AC.I purchased this when it first came out. It has changed a little over the years. But, my opinion has not. It is still one of my favorites. Every time I finish a bottle, I buy another. Thanks for the video. Be safe.
I am so happy to hear that, and also glad to know that Chanel haven't played around with the composition.
Amazing review. I love Platinum Egoiste. Chanel is top notch.

Great classic men's frag, would like a new Chanel EDP platinum egoiste ❗👍
Arabian Oud has one called Gentleman Secret which is Platinum Egoiste on STEROIDS
Great review! I dig your brief and to the point style. PE is my favourite fragrance and I think you captured its spirit very well.
Thank you Stephen glad you enjoyed :)
I love your descriptions and wording
Thank Again For The Education 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾. Love This Fragrance

Thank you AC for the review! I’m attracted to Chanel men’s fragrances more than those for women, been loving Bleu de Chanel and this one.
Wow really? thats very interesting :)
Overall, I think Chanel men’s fragrances are more well made and well constructed than the women’s ones, for the current version, I only own Chanel 19 and Chanel 19 Poudre, the other reformulated ones are lacking the “bite”.
Just started wearing this again myself..to my nose it's very similar to CK Eternity

So good to hear your story and totally agree with you, this fragrance is quite professional smelling!

I wore Chanel Antaeus, Balenciaga, habit rouge, and fahrenheit. I still use them today, can you recommend something to me?
Looking at your taste I would highly recommend Luciano Pavarotti, that is a knock out Fragrance and L instant d Guerlain EDT.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews Thank you.
Awesome review as always ,I have 2 X10 ml decants with me ,but not tried yet .
Armaf Legici
Awesome! review, thanks for sharing
Pleasure mate, glad you enjoyed :)
Great video AC. I love the original Egoiste but not this one. I also have and love GIT and had never associated with this one. Next time I go to the mall I will revisit. Regards from Mexico.
Would love to know what you think , take care and enjoy :)
I haven't smelled it but i have bought Armaf Legesi after your review, and it is great.
Legesi isn't far off and at its price point quite an amazing fragrance.
No doubt about that. Luckily i got a 2019 batch with good performance. And as you said, dry down is soo lovely.
Awesome review... Just ordered a 100ml bottle
Thanks a lot. I need this review.
How about the longevity and projection? Thanks
Iconic Masterpiece 10/10
Feeellllaaaaaaas this one is better than GIT. Better value, better performance, better scent. GIT has great opening which lasts 5 minutes, then just left a cheap synthetic sandalwood
Yes, you could say that.
What about longevity,sillage,projection?
Awesome review…would love to hear how Platinum Egoiste compares to Pour Monsieur
Very different fragrances Marcus :)
Pour Monsieur to most noses today would smell outdated and would remind a lot of people of their granddad. PE so far has stood the test of time and is as elegant and wearable as it was 28 years ago.
Decided to wear PE today. I might just keep this and throw the rest away ..,
haha I know what you mean Paul :)
Better than green irish tweed imo
Great review and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 9 out of 10 also and have a blessed day
Thank you Michael.
I like it but for me its a linear fragrance that don't take me for a journey.
It doesn't change like Beau de jour p.e so this is less interesting to me.
Boscoso y cosmopolita? I love it

Finally mate! 💯
Great shirt 👍
Thank you Hassan :)
How does this one compare to armaf legesi btw ? They are often compared with each other
very close. I will do a comparison video very soon.
Is it true that the reformulation ruined it??
Hi AC, would you say the step up in price is worth it compared to the cheaper armaf legesi?
if budget is not a constraint then yes mate.
Prefer bdc edp to this one. Bit too herbal for me.

Well done Khurram.
Makes me wonder if Tom Ford's Fougere Platine is a related to the Chanel.
I am yet to try that TF Cole.
@@SmellsGoodfragrancereviews If you like TF I think you'd like it if you get the chance.
I didn't hear you talk about longevity...or is it my ears?
Prescient quotation.
