Alexandria UK Old Story Egoiste Platinum By Chanel is an Eau de Parfum. Old Story Egoiste Platinum By Chanel opens with Lavender, Geranium, Rosemary, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Amber and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Alexandria UK's Old Story Egoiste Platinum By Chanel carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

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.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Old Story bursts open with a herbal rush of lavender, geranium and rosemary that mirrors Egoiste Platinum's sharp fougere opening, though the individual notes feel more separated and less fused than Chanel's original blend. Clary Sage adds a spicy green edge before a light amber-jasmine heart briefly softens the composition. The dry-down settles into oakmoss and vetiver with sandalwood and cedar providing a woody backbone, though it lacks the original's silky polish and fades to a soft skin scent within a few hours. As an aftershave-style fougere for the office or a smart-casual evening it captures the spirit of the classic, just without the same longevity or refinement.
