Mauboussin Homme vs Egoiste Platinum

Mauboussin Homme (referenced as Mauboussin Star for Men) is regarded as a solid budget fragrance option in the r/fragrance community, particularly valued by European shoppers who can access it through discounters. While specific performance details are limited in these comments, it's grouped with other well-regarded affordable alternatives and recommended as a worthwhile cheap blind-buy.

Chanel Egoiste Platinum is a respected classic aromatic fragrance with a devoted following who praise its clean, sophisticated barber shop character and timeless appeal. However, the community notes it's polarizing - some find it metallic or unpleasant, and it generally appeals more to older demographics than younger wearers, with mixed reception from women.
