Have sampled all three and some thoughts:
Bois de Iles is too feminine and old lady. Even tho it dries down to something similar to Egoiste, the road there is feminine, flowery. Not a fan but only wore it once so far.
Sycomore: I could see how people would love this. It is a nice smoky vetiver. BUT....it to me isn't wearable in many occasions. I see others review this and say it's a formal black tie scent. I say no way. Too earthy for that. Had my SWMBO try it -- she still prefers Red Vetyver by Montale over this. A bit too smoky for me.
Coromandel: LOVE this. It's Serge Lutens takes over the Chanel lab -- with Sheldrake and Polge combining their strengths. To some it may be a bit sweet (it is technically geared as a women's scent as are the two above), but I find it unisex. It is complex, elegant, and easily wearable. I think it's amazing. On paper it did not smell good to me but when I put it on my skin it was fantastic. I'm not good at notes but I recommend this one if you like Chanel, Lutens, and are ok with a sweet scent. Come comparisons have been made to Borneo 1834 and even the sweetness of Musc Ravageur, but I find this one very wearable especially in cold weather.
