The story behind the bottle.
Egoiste Cologne Concentree by Chanel, launched in 1992 and crafted by Jacques Polge, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that stands out with its rich and opulent character. This composition opens with warm spicy notes like cinnamon, balanced by the powdery and balsamic elements of vanilla and leather. The scent is described as intense, emotional, and irresistible — designed for those who stand apart from the ordinary.
Apply this fragrance directly to pulse points for the best effect. The warm spicy notes are immediate but fade within an hour; the powdery and balsamic base develops over time, so give it ample room to breathe on your skin.
