* 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.
