What wearers say
“A very good interpretation, but for the price per millilitre you might as well buy the original.04/10/2026 - Edit: Chanel's prices are through the roof now, so this is actually a more affordable alternative.”
“This is Egoiste Platinum, but better. It's greener with less lemon. It projects better & is overall superior to EP. I wish I had known about this before I bought a bottle of EP.This works all seasons, all times, all occasions. It's signature scent worthy.”
“Gets in the general direction and main profile of PE, there's no doubt when you smell it. However its a 4/5 for me because it misses a little bit of the nuance of the fragrance specifically the herbal notes and the feel. OS is denser while PE is airier, which changes the feel of the fragrance. People here saying it greener, I disagree, I think it's more metallic. Don't get me wrong OS is a good alternative if you want a cheaper alternative, but is not a 1 to 1.”
