About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Antaeus Pour Homme is a 1981 woody chypre that opens with a bracing blend of clary sage, coriander, bergamot, lime, Amalfi lemon, and myrtle. This citrus-herbal top quickly gives way to a heart of rose, thyme, basil, and jasmine, adding a floral-aromatic depth. The base is a powerhouse of castoreum, oakmoss, patchouli, and French labdanum, delivering a leathery, mossy, and smoky finish that lingers for hours. Collectors prize Antaeus for its uncompromising structure and rich, animalic character, a hallmark of early 1980s masculines. It suits those who appreciate bold, traditional chypres with a leathery edge, ideal for evening wear or formal occasions. The drydown is earthy and resinous, with the castoreum and oakmoss taking center stage. This is not a shy fragrance; it demands confidence and is best for cooler weather. A true classic for aficionados of vintage powerhouses.

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
