The review

Worth a try. That is where Royal Path lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Égoïste Platinum.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Égoïste Platinum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $64 per 100ml it costs 44% less than Égoïste Platinum — the 3rd cheapest of 5 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: lavender, rosemary and neroli up top, clary sage, jasmine and galbanum in the middle, amber, vetiver and cedar underneath — the shape of Chanel Égoïste Platinum.

Top

  • lavender
  • rosemary
  • neroli

Heart

  • clary sage

Sharp lavender and rosemary over amber, crisp and slightly metallic in the best way.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
