Chanel Platinum Egoiste Cologne/Fragrance Review

[antonrosa]

This is one of the best scents out there...I don't agree with all of the analogies you made on it but that is your opinion. To me it is one of the most sophistcated and top quality juices for the male sophisticate. I always get al ot of compliments on this one.

[daigle2007]

Douchebag? Seriously...I love this scent, I keep it in reserve, have to have this scent. Yes it's great for clubbing and you will get noticed. It's a sophisticated scent, classic, a must have. I have over 45 bottles of cologne and this is definitely in my top 5. Smell it for yourself, don't base it on a review, that's with anything. I love your videos but this one I definitely disagree with...

[cocoliso1287]

I love the smell, but it doesnt last on me at all like my other fragrances. I wonder why.

[whackyronu]

cool water is NOT better

[Laurie77110]

Holy FUCK you repeat yourself a lot in this video. I don't have the time to hear the same details on a circuit, repeatedly, and then said some more in a slightly different way. Gosh.

[XxGtPwnzxX]

Would both platinum egoiste and egoist be good for a teen?

[jessemseitif]

Excuse me if I sounded rude in my previous post. I just felt kinda insulted by your remark, as I enjoy this fragrance and prefer not to believe it's for d-bags and guidos. Hope I didn't come across as a jerk with the thoughts I've expressed. Thanks =)

[cformosa4]

@jessemseitif im sorry i have insulted you. I actually do wear this one my self and recommend this scent. Don't get me wrong, it's a great scent and people enjoy it - i just have smelled millions of scents similar to it.

It's not that only d-bags wear it, it just seems like its the type of scent a d-bag type of guy would choose for it's sexy/club appeal. I should have properly explained where i was coming from with that note.

[jessemseitif]

@cform I guess I slightly misinterpreted what you originaly were trying to get across. Thanks for the reply!

[jessemseitif]

Jersey Shore, are you serious? Do you know how many fragrance collectors and enthusiasts your insulting with those kind of thoughtless remarks? To each his own, but you don't have to equate those who wear pe as the d-bad, jersey shore types.

[TheBoss2288]

I find this to be a mature smell for like wearing suits. But for some reason the fragrance is so weak. They say its strong but not everyone notices it. :/

[1ov3rboy]

this stuff smells like a mixutue of blow bubbles solution & HOLY WATER !

[TRMDYLE666]

I did buy a bottle of this (100 Ml) as I collect fragrances but I'm just not seeing the smell itself justifying the price. It smells too similar too other cheaper brands in the market IMO.

[themachman19691]

the original egoiste is far superior than this,very hard to find though

[Beruzo30]

Amo o CHANEL EGOÍSTE,ele pra mim é suave esportivo,uso a toda hora manhã,tarde e muito pouco a noite,pois a noite gosto de usar aqueles bem calientes :fortes!!!!!!!!Ei eu amo Canadá e Celine Dion, BY Brasil.(Portuguese)

CHANEL Egoiste love, to me he is soft-sport, use all the time morning, noon and night very little since the night I like to use scent as well calientes: Strong !!!!!!!! Hey I love Canada and Celine Dion, BY Brazil, Kype.

[sf2explus]

i agree with you this has the GIT feel to it.

[jnthnnixon]

please someone let me know where i can buy this?I dont shop online so it will have 2 b a store i can go in and pick it up.Thanks...

[cformosa4]

@jnthnnixon any large department store. :)

[jnthnnixon]

@cformosa4 so macys then?

[Vazcular]

@jnthnnixon

Macy stores.

[benarddor]

i actually use to purchase this scent for $15 at my local walgreens pharmacy when it first hit the market. can't find it anywhere now.

[Patsc85]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos..I have to disagree with you on the "Jersey shore dbag" thing though. I am not going to lie, I kind of took personal offense to that. I really enjoy this scent and don't think everyone can pull it off. But I will agree that this is a VERY strong fragrance. I usually do the "Spray walk through" right after a shower with this.

But we all are entitled to our opinions, and thats why I came to watch the video to hear someone's opinion! Keep up the good work Cubby!

[cformosa4]

@Patsc85 Hi! Thanks for your comment :) I apologize if the dbag thing offended you. I don't mean to call those who wear this dbags, just the scent its self -- well, i wear this myself so haha yea :P i dont think im a dbag :P. I just pictured jersey shore guys wearing this scent a lot and loving it.

[cformosa4]

@Patsc85 LOL , i appreciate your nice comment even though i offended you! sorry about that and thank you for not being mean :P  I have noticed that whenever I mention ANYTHING negative .. even the slightest negative comment.. i get A LOT of flack for it. lol. I guess its just something i gotta deal with if im gonna be honest :) i did however mention in the end of the video that its not a dbag scent, just something i could see dbags wearing a lot. ahh im diggin my grave arent i? :P

[Patsc85]

@cformosa4 I enjoy the honesty, keeps things real! p.s. Im wearing it today...no ed hardy however =p

[coatlicue2012]

Cubby I strongly disagree on it not being a sexy scent. Every woman that smells this on me thinks it's absolutely sexy.

[shadow19br]

STOP SHAKING THE BOTTLE! Makes me nervous ._. AHuaHuhA

Great review, thanks.

[grangegoarman]

Fuck up and leave my favourite fragrance alone you queer. Just because it doesn't smell like Astroglide and jizz doesn't mean it's a bad fragrance. You don't have the requisite expertise to be a fragrance reviewer. Go back to queer town!

[mryuck206]

"if you like kind of like d-bag like kind of like jersey shore like kind of like" correct me if im wrong, did i not just quote you?

[martinaee]

Cool Water is better in your opinion? Score then (I have CW) because I'm assuming Egoiste is way more expensive being from Chanel.

[cformosa4]

@martinaee  haha yup! CW is better :D but Green Irish Tweed (the most expensive of them) is the BEST :D

[erik3579]

You might want to look up the correct pronunciations on the fragrances you mentioned in this review, too. It is challenging to take someone seriously about a fragrance review when they can't even pronounce the fragrance itself. Just a suggestion for the future.

[erik3579]

Wow! Really? Chanel is about the furthest thing from a d-bag or Jersey Shore one could get. The only reason one would make that reference is if they are a d-bag themselves. Chanel is a filter DOWN not a filter up. I'd definitely brush up on your Chanel background/history before you make statements like that. But if that's your opinion, I guess.....

[cformosa4]

@erik3579 i expect much much more from chanel.

[whackyronu]

@cformosa4 i own a lot of chanel allure homme sport and egoist are the best for me, makes u look a liitle dumb, cool water isn't that good. Green irish tweed is better though.

[cformosa4]

@erik3579 um, I know more of Chanel's history than you think. This scent doesn't really feel like it deserves the Chanel brand. I feel like they kind of sold out with it. Chanel's other fragrances are much more incredible. This one let me know because I have higher expectations for Chanel.

[vessc]

I tried this and for the first 4 hours I smelt like I got slapped in the face by a mint leaf. After a while I started to get a little "cool" feeling. I thought I was the only one that didn't like it. I will say it lasts very long and siliage is great.

[BigManWeave]

ooh! I wanna smell like a d-bag. thats my dream. thanks cubby. haha

[Ryanbassist]

Some people say this smells like Fierce ... Do you agree cuz I actually really like Fierce but until I bought it I didnt realize how many people wear this fragrance so that sux for me,lol. And also I have 2 other chanel fragrances and love em... But anyways do you think this would be a good alternative to Fierce ?

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

I'm just cracking up at how you're "selling" this! "People can smell it". Hahaha. Talk about damning with faint...not even praise.

[cformosa4]

@KatiePuckrikSmells hahah yeah! its just nothing special :P

[cformosa4]

just so strong -- should have been more specific and said they should be able to smell it from a distance :P

[KatiePuckrikSmells]

@cformosa4 No. It was perfect the way you said it.

[TheFashionbugs]

underwhelming? wah wah, ugh, oh really? douchebag? not sexy? funny? Jersey Shore? Cool Water is better? Egoiste is better?

And I thought I l.iked this. Guess i better stop wearing it.

[TheFashionbugs]

@TheFashionbugs I was only half serious when I wrote this BTW. I will continue to wear it.

[cformosa4]

@TheFashionbugs hehe! I still wear it.. you dont have to stop :) Its just not amazing :P but it still smells really nice :)

[sf2explus]

i dont know what people are smelling this is a few level higher than your aqua di gio and cool water this is on the same level as tere d hermes not the same smell but similar quality.

[dolcevalse9883]

Interesting review. It's the first review that I see not really complimenting CPE. I can't wait to test this one out. I am torn between this one and Terre d'Hermes. Once I test PE I will be able to tell...

[cformosa4]

@dolcevalse9883 Terre D'hermes is much nicer :) Let me know what you think once you been able to test them out.

[itmllc]

Love this stuff, the top is heavy but you get mad compliments!

[Ellionyx]

Thanks for the honest review! Thought about blind buying this cause the hype but perhaps not. Though i do love cedar.

[speedpenguin01]

This is definately not a scent for kids or boys, this is a real scent for men, preferably above 25. So obviously, younger people will despise this because their nose aren't trained for more masculine/elegant/classy scents, trust me I was young when I smelled this and didn't like it, but now I appreciate its beauty because it's a mature and fresh scent.

But hey, if less people get to wear, better for me.

[cformosa4]

@speedpenguin01 Hey! Thanks for your comment. I would actually see more younger guys wearing this stuff.. college aged, jersey shore types that club a lot. I wouldn't say this scent is mature at all. For a more mature or older guy i would recommend Egoist (not the platinum one) -- perhaps you're thinkin of the original egoist which i LOVE .. -- i wear must de cartier, opium, drakarr noir, etc. :) I love mature deeper scents. I wouldn't say you need to be trained to enjoy a "mature" scent.

[speedpenguin01]

@cformosa4

Yeah you may be right, I think I may have to try the original Egoiste, wondering how's that since I haven't seen a review of it. I know for sure that's a daring fragrance, or so I've heard.

But thanks for your response and suggestions!

[Guinea54]

Thanks for this review. I find strong fragrances have been more of a rare thing for me lately with a lot of stuff I have tried.  guido D bag lol.

[cformosa4]

@Guinea54 haha. I love the term "d-bag" it's so much more fun than Douche Bag :P

[Guinea54]

@cformosa4 its a shame the d bags on the jersey shore are now rich and famous. How fair is that? Bunch of morons making a fortune. 

[TheAngiejolie]

i like the way ure explaining the scent..

[razscott]

Quality vid Cubby!

I wish the original Egoiste was still around as its much better IMO,

Paco Rabanne should do a 1 Million Platinum special edition, it just reminded me of 1 Million when you were flashing the bottle around lol.

[cformosa4]

@razscott ohh ya! 1 Million should FOR SURELY do a platinum edition!

[flexwheelR]

OMFG...THANK YOU CUBBY FOR SAYING THAT!!!

this is truly a d-bag,guido, jersey shore boy scent.hahaha.

[cformosa4]

@flexwheelR lmao!

[josephga]

I have this but not a big fan

[r0bdigz]

Women seem to like this one. For myself, there was something that came off kind of harsh to my nose. I found myself avoiding my bottle so I sold it. Thanks for the review.

[omfggoogle]

I got this fragrance yesterday, I would say that its fresh and bold without being a try hard if you know what I mean. I would wear this to a club or on a date. Either way its good to switch up your fresh fragrances.

[grgfourtinas]

this one DOSNT last on me in the winter :/ but in the summer WOW works wonders !!

[FlyingPancake0390]

Lol, I love how the scent from a brand like Chanel that is supposed to be "classy" and "timeless" and all that turns out to be a clubbing, douchey, Jersey Shore cologne. Love it! Thanks for the review Cubby!

[Atmosphereification]

PE was actually one of my first fragrances that I ever bought. I don't own it today, don't really know why I have not gotten another bottle of it...

[kermit1]

i love this one. the top notes smell has a really fresh, peppermint scent(almost like old school shaving cream). the freshness goes away and eventually turns into a metallic, sour smell which isn't as good. but i still love it.

[Johnno3D]

I approached this scent with a lot of good reviews in mind, but It wasn't anything special actually, Egoiste was actually better, though too intensive for me.

[ElunesNightHunt]

Bottle is quite boring if I do say myself. Though at least it will blend nicely with most bottles.

[pigasus27]

Thanks for the review, Cubby. I completely understand what you mean when you say that this fragrance is underwhelming.

[cformosa4]

@pigasus27 yeah i know hey! you'd expect a little more from chanel :)

[timswetcoff]

@pigasus27 Nice ass
