Here is another decant that turned into a full bottle. Whilst its nothing that will blow you away, its a solid performer in the edt range. For anyone whom hasnt crossed paths with this one its a nice spicey/woody/leather fragrance. Comes in that classic gold bar bottle design. The opening is a fresh, spicy, citrusy mix. You'll immediately notice the bright, juicy notes of blood mandarin, grapefruit, with just a hint of sharp peppermint. This initial burst is what gives the fragrance a vibrant, almost effervescent quality. As the scent develops, it moves into that warm & spicier territory. Cinnamon is a dominant note here, providing a sweet, spicy warmth. This is balanced with a subtle floral touch of rose, which adds a touch of depth. The dry-down is where the fragrance gets its signature richness & longevity. The base is composed of a distinctive leather accord, which is both smooth & masculine. This is complemented by notes of amber & patchouli, which add an earthy long-lasting finish. One of the defining characteristics of 1 Million EDT is its impressive performance. It has excellent staying power, lasting a good 6 hours on the skin. The projection, is also very strong. It's designed to be a "power frag" that can be detected from a distance, making it ideal for situations where you want to be noticed. However, this powerful sillage is also a reason it can be considered overwhelming in certain settings, like an office. I guess the amount of flankers it has produce attest to its popularity. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity:2 Sillage:2 Y/N:1

So I knew this morning was not going to be a typical day at the office for me. Today I had an appointment with five (FIVE!) Federal agents, all sporting badges, guns and fancy law degrees. Two came to the office personally, while three joined our little meeting virtually. And they were all there to talk to me. How flattering!🫤 Well, I know my brothers (and sisters) here at the BoS. You want to know what was my fragrance of choice! As luck would have it, I was watching a YouTube video last night and it mentioned Egoiste Platinum. It's classy, balanced, etc etc. And according to the YouTuber, "It's the kind of scent that gives off the impression that the wearer has his life together!" I'm thinking it's a classic, rather quiet, modern fougere that was made for professional settings... Perfect! 9:00 AM - the initial spray was crisp and herbal. You can't miss the lavender and rosemary which gives it a clean, almost soapy scent. 10:00 AM - Company arrives and the Chanel is pumping off a cool, yet earthy vibe from the vetiver and patchouli. 12:00PM - The party is starting to break up, but this work of art is still there, cool as can be. Another successful outing provided by the gang at Chanel! In the fougere realm, I gotta give it a 10.0 /10.0. 1:00PM - I run home, take off the suit and tie, and put on a golf shirt and blue jeans. 1:07PM - Wash off the remaining Chanel, give myself about 5 sprays of my recently acquired Amouage Overture and take the dog for a walk.
