About
Egoiste by Chanel is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. Egoiste was launched in 1990. The nose behind this fragrance is Jacques Polge. Top notes are Brazilian Rosewood, Coriander, Mahogany and Sicilian Mandarin; middle notes are Cinnamon, Damask Rose and Carnation; base notes are Sandalwood, Tobacco, Vanilla, Leather, Amber and Ambrette (Musk Mallow). Egoïste is a very conservative masculine fragrance composed of spice, wood and vanilla notes. The top notes, intensive and fresh, include rosewood and coriander. Later on, the fragrance character becomes warmer and mysterious due to Bulgarian rose, carnation and warm cinnamon in its heart. The main theme of the composition (long and intensive woodsy trace) reaches its full expression in the lingering base composed of sandalwood, intensive vanilla and ambrette seeds. The perfume was created in 1990.
