LeatheryWhat does Égoïste (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, though it also finds a place at work and in daily wear. It reads masculine and classic.
It opens with mahogany, rosewood, mandarin orange and coriander, then turns floral and spicy in the heart with carnation, cinnamon and rose. Tobacco, sandalwood, leather, amber and vanilla dominate the base, and the scent settles into a woody, oriental sweetness. Ishtara Assyria and Gucci Envy for Men have a close profile.
