Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Platinum Égoïste EDT
A timeless aromatic fougère with razor-sharp freshness and green, woody backbone. Platinum Égoïste is assertive yet polished, perfect for the man who prizes clarity and confidence.

Our Verdict - Old Story Egoiste Platinum By Chanel EDP
Old Story is Alexandria UK's take on Chanel Egoiste Platinum, leaning on the same lavender-geranium-oakmoss fougere skeleton. It opens louder and greener than the original's polished blend, with a shorter, simpler dry-down, but the fresh-herbal opening is a recognisable echo of the Chanel classic at a fraction of the cost.
