Egoiste Platinum

by Chanel

Where can I buy it!?
What's it like?...
This fragrance is very deceiving, don't be fooled!  It starts out like a plain citrus- fairly similar to Eternity, by Calvin Klein, but just wait!  Give it about three minutes and it completely reverses into a spice, with just a slight hint of the original citrus.  It truly is completely opposite of the initial impression.
When to wear it...
This one will stop people- so don't wear it if you're in a hurry to go anywhere!  The Platinum has a very wide versatility- you can dress it up and dress it down all in the same day.  It's so rich that there is no restaurant too expensive to go to, and yet it's casual enough to be worn for a day in the park!
How it lasted on me... 
All day- and my skin usually rips fragrance to shreds!  This is due to Chanel taking the time to use a large amount of the real fragrance oils.
The bottle...
The bottle is very similar to the original Egoiste- rectangular, clear glass- except that it has a silver top instead of black.
Miscellaneous details...
Don't confuse the Egoiste Platinum with Chanel's original Egoiste (the one with the annoying commercial).  They are the complete opposite of each other.  The original Egoiste is more of a light, vanilla & cinnamon spice.
In my opinion...
Like I've mentioned before, I have over 39 fragrances- and out of all of them, I tend to wear the Platinum the most often!  The quality and consistency are exactly what I look for in a fragrance.
