How Chanel Egoiste Platinum Smells: Notes & Development

Chanel Egoiste Platinum opens with Lavender, Rosemary, Neroli and Petitgrain — the first impression as it hits the skin.

The final act — the part that outlasts the working day — is Oakmoss, Vetiver, Cedar, Sandalwood and Amber.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Aromatic, Fresh Spicy — easy to place and easy to wear.
