A carbon copy twin of Égoïste platinum by Chanel. Like a carbon copy… It isn’t exact and lacks depth. This seems lighter and more feminine than égoïste platinum (which itself seems lighter than it used to be). Also, it is synthetic and I smelled a strange muted wintergreen note in the opening and middle.
It is a pleasant fragrance and frankly a great deal at around $18. If you can sample égoïste platinum somewhere, you have a pretty good idea of what eau de passion smells like.
It has one of the most useless caps in all of perfumery.

Yup,Platinum Egoiste’s brother. Warn you,it is synthetic-smelling to a trained nose.Though projection is awesome and longevity up to 6 hours.But,it is lacking the character.

Eau de Passion by Franck Olivier is an absolute bargain masterpiece. And it’s not hyperbole to say it’s just about a 90% match to Platinum Egoiste – unless you smell them side by side, I doubt all but the most obsessed PE fans could ever tell the difference – and even most wouldn’t know them side by side, for that matter.
Other than that, what does this remind me of? A very successful melding of two very different styles – on one end, you have a dominant accord (80-90%) consisting of the herbaceous green and floral notes of a classic barbershop scent – think somewhere between GIT and F Black for reference. On the other end, you have the hint (10-20%) of a warmly spiced sweetness of The One or Villain (which is basically a sweeter version of The One). It makes little sense that the two styles should work together, but they absolutely do in this work of alchemy. And in so doing, they make up a complex but fairly linear scent that really does it right.
Does it shout out and announce its presence in a room? No. It rewards those who come close with an aura of integrity and confidence. Does it last for days on end? No, but it does seem to last a good work day, where you can at least enjoy it up close.
This stuff is the scent of a gentleman, young, old or anywhere in between. Clean and worldly, civilized and confident. Safe and friendly, neither polarizing or too sweet. And it can be had for an absolute song. Go get it now!

This smells absolutely amazing. Frank Olivier has managed to reproduce the scent of Chanel’s Platinum Egoiste but for $20. It literally smells identical to Platinum Egoiste to my nose. It opens with the same very cooling barbershop accord of neroli, vetiver, geranium, lavender, mint, and rosemary, and dries down into the lavender-geranium-mint scent of Platinum Egoiste. Platinum Egoiste is my favourite barbershop cologne of all time and I’m happy that Eau de Passion Men performs well enough that I don’t even need to buy the actual thing (which I might add is very overpriced by Chanel). Sillage and longevity are similar to the actual Platinum Egoiste on my skin, projecting well for 4-5 hours and then quiet for many hours more after that. Overall it’s a really great rendition of Platinum Egoiste for a fraction of the price; I also love how the bottle looks.
4.5/5

I’ve waited for 2 hours+ after spraying this on to write this review! I 100% agree with the previous reviews, this fragrance is a Dead Ringer for Platinum Egoiste! I sacrificed a spray of my dwindling bottle P.E. to do a wrist comparison and I’ll be damned I can’t tell them apart! Curious thing, P.E. always gives me sneeze or two whenever I spray it on and did so again today, but Eau de Passion skipped right over that part!I’m literally giddy, the smell of P.E. for under $20 AND FREE SHIPPING? I’d call myself a liar if I wasn’t wearing it! This might be my all-time favorite blind buy! Thank You to all you folks who gave your honest impressions!I’ve already ordered a second bottle just before settling down to type this rave! And speaking of bottles the bottle this comes in is very nice indeed! What originally brought me here was that I was looking thru reviews of Oud Touch which also is heading my way, but I’m damn glad I read the reviews for Franck Olivier’s other offerings! Franck Olivier Kudos, Well Done, Bravo and Hat Tips to you! I 100% approve of and recommend this fragrance! Sorry about all the gushing!

I have a bad habit of blind-buying perfumes on regular basis. 90% of the perfumes I bought was based on blind buy. I even did this with some Tom Ford perfumes and ended up paying the full amount and the result wasn’t as pleasant as I imagined. So, lately I’ve been thinking to get Chanel Platinum Egoiste and as usual I visit my favorite site Fragrantica and enjoy reading the reviews. It seems a very nice perfume from the reviews. And I found that it is similar to Eau de Passion Franck Olivier according to the suggestion. This EdP Franck Olivier costs around $15 so hey, even if I don’t like it, its better to lose $15 rather than losing $100.
Well, this thing rocks. its really a nice perfume for this money. And now I can only imagine, if EdP Franck Olivier smells this nice, how will Chanel Platinum Egoiste smell.
Thank you EdP Franck Olivier for being inexpensive nice perfume, and (hopefully) be on the same level of Chanel Platinum Egoiste. Chanel PE, you are next in my blind buy list.

I purchased this one based off of the reviews saying it is a dead ringer for Chanel’s Platinum Egoiste. It’s very, very close! I agree with @Joey79
The only difference I see is the performance category being the major one. It doesn’t project as much as Platinum Egoiste and it certainly doesn’t last as long. Very good imitation, but the overall performance is lacking.
I will certainly buy another of these bottles to have as a backup, but I would prefer my original PE compared to this. 6/10 for me! Cheers!

I do get the likeness with egoiste platinum, it’s actually a nice summery scent. I get not much sillage or longevity. Perhaps it doesn’t work well with my skin. For the price I guess I cannot complain.
max66klon – :
That is totally a synthetic fragrance with spicy and woody scent. I can smell citrus scent too, Although it is not as much as spicy and woody scent.
Both longevity and silage is good. I can say the longevity is 6 to 7 hours and the projection is a bit more that arm length.
To be frank, for such a cheap perfume, I don’t expect brilliant scent. In terms of projection and longevity, the results are great.
All in all I recommend buying better quality perfumes. It is not something special. By spending a bit more money, It would be possible to purchase better perfume with natural scent instead of chemical one.

smells like chemicals, just disgusting

I’ve searching for an Egoiste Platinum alternative for a while now since Chanel keeps increasing the price. I finally found it with Franck Olivier Eau de Passion.
I did a side by side with Franck Olivier EdP and Chanel PE. The first hour or so they are the similar with the EdP being a little sharper and slightly sweeter. The lavender is apparent in the Franck Olivier EdP (Similar to Curve/Eternity). After an hour the two colognes become more alike. The sweetness of the EdP starts to subside. 3.5 hours later, they are still the same strength in regards to longevity.
Chanel PE has slight more of a pepper smell to it while EdP has maybe a citrus edge to it. If you were to wear Franck Olivier EdP around people without telling them what it was, they would definitely think it’s Chanel PE. The geranium and sage are apparent in the Franck Olivier EdP which I think is the signature notes in Chanel PE(in my opinion).
I am impressed that they almost nailed it! To be quite honest, EdP isn’t as harsh to the nose as Chanel PE after a few hours. It’s a little softer which can be good to many people. To each their own though. For a quarter of the price, it’s definitely a steal if you are into lavender/geranium colognes. This will suffice as an alternative to Chanel Platinum Egoiste and will be buying another bottle.

Indeed – very similar to Egoiste Platinum by Chanel. Very nice and inexpensive surprise
prihno – :
It smells like a cheap cologne , nothing special very disgusting
maik-tema – :
Smells like Platinum Egoiste. It’s a little stronger in my opinion. Would recommend to try. For 20 bucks you can’t go wrong.
bartender – :
Good point to the previous poster, after testing I immediately said this is Egoiste Platinum but much cheaper and good quality. Not bad at all, people could never tell the difference.
koluchii_nv – :
In short- CHANEL EGOISTE PLATINUM in different bottle, and for the fraction of the price of the original. Despite not frightening price tag, it does not smell synthetic, irritating or cheap. Elegant, fresh, crisp.Woody and aromatic.Very enjoyable scent. If Platinum Egoiste does float Your boat, go ahead and try this one:)
Basarabeanu – :
Definitely woody. Smelled good at the store, nice sweet citrus top notes, that’s why I bought it. But drys down pretty quickly. Pretty generic, dry, woody middle; cheap smell. Smelled good the next day though, can’t explain that. Wife didn’t like it. Inexpensive, but I hate having cologne that I don’t wear. I keep trying it to see if it grows on me. It doesn’t. I was wrong. Shouldn’t have bought it. Kept the box. Going to make a nice gift..
Uriahis – :
Eau de Passion Men is a strong fragrance by Franck Olivier. It opens with a fresh and clean scent, then settles into what can best be described as a citrusy-spice. The underlying florals bring a sweetness that might be a bit too feminine for me.
