Gentlemen Only vs Egoiste Platinum

Gentlemen Only Absolute is viewed as an underrated and underappreciated designer fragrance, particularly praised for winter wear with its sophisticated gourmand-spicy profile. The main criticism is its weak longevity, and opinions on the scent profile itself are divided, with some finding it unpleasant while others consider it one of Givenchy's best creations.

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.
