The Perfume Thread

[starlike]

recently bought bleu de chanel EDP and have to say the projection is very underwhelming to me. really like the smell but just too faint =s

You should have done ur research before buying, especially when its gonna cost so much, the edt is better in projection, but lose out in terms of longevity.

A newbie mistake is to think that EDP vs EDT is just same formula but differing concentrations... in fact when I started out I used to think that EDP will have stronger silage and longevity than EDT.

But in most cases they have different formulas and thus are different perfumes altogether, and it would (as usual) be best to just smell them and test them on your skin.

there are also instances where EDT outperforms EDP in all departments...

Haha perhaps. Just didnt expect the projection to be so discrete. Let it be a reminder to others who are keen to get this.

Sometimes the EDP may mean the concentration is higher but it stays closer to the skin longer. No performance or sillage. Women's perfume is EDP usually and theirs projects more from what I have seen.

I maybe wrong but Jasina may have the old Rive Gauche. Seen it floating around a few places.

Yes I've seen it there too... I remember the prices weren't good. Fragrancex is better.

There was a time, maybe 1 year or so back when fragrancex had it for ~20usd per bottle (tin-can version) and someone shared it in basenotes. I hesitated, missed it and I now regret.

Anyone here using the Chanel platinum egoistic? I finished my bottle so went to get new one, then found out it has changed packaging. Also, I feel the scent is slightly different too now, the first feel isn't as strong as the old one.

Used before the following
Issey Miyake

Need something that has a special scent along the above lines but cheap and lasting for use as a daily driver

hi.. i do use platinum egoiste.. i have both the old version and the new version.. the new reformulated is having the same performance as the old one.. not much change from my perspective.. slightly diluted though..

Smell wise does it differ alot to you? Maybe it's diluted as you mention, I find it not as potent. Maybe I give it a few more days usage see how...
