Old Story Egoiste Platinum By Chanel EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Myrrhe Mystère is a deeply divisive blend, attracting both lavish praise for its rich, mysterious depth and sharp criticism for its perceived mediocrity and exorbitant price. It's a myrrh-forward journey that polarises wearers between transcendental luxury and profound disappointment.
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.
