* Somers starts sweet and woody – with licorice and cinnamon, sharpened by cedar.
* The cedar burns off quickly, leaving cinnamon and licorice as the focus.
Tag: edt
* Coromandel starts as a sweet and spicy patchouli with cherry and cinnamon in the mix.
* Coromandel is either named for the Chinese lacquered screens used in dressing rooms or for the Indian Coromandel coast where Chinese and Indian people traded goods.
* Antidote starts with a mint blast frothing over citrus, lavender, and cardamom. It’s refreshing and spicy at the same time.
* The top is kind of brisk, yet warms nicely. The scent seems to get stronger for the first two hours of wear.

Chanel Egoiste Fragrance Review
* Chanel Egoiste starts with an explosion of citrus and spicy wood. The citrus is hard to discern, as I think it’s a mix of neroli, bergamot, orange, and tangerine.
* Egoiste is a bit mischievious, as it has different characters. Sometime it goes a little soapy on me, with the spicy wood fighting to keep it manly. Other times the top goes very sweet on me – where the citrus turns more gourmand, like candied/sugared fruits rather than crisp citrus.
