About this fragrance

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

Antaeus by Chanel, launched in 1981, is a Woody Chypre that opens with a brisk, herbaceous blend of Clary Sage, Coriander, Bergamot, Lime, Amalfi Lemon, and Myrtle. The citrus and spice top notes quickly give way to a floral and green heart of Rose, Thyme, Basil, and Jasmine, adding a refined complexity. The base is a powerhouse of Castoreum, Oakmoss, Patchouli, and French Labdanum, delivering a deep, leathery, and mossy foundation that lingers for hours.

This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate bold, traditional masculine scents with a strong character. Its dominant woody and aromatic accords, supported by leather, moss, earth, and smoke, make it ideal for evening wear or formal occasions, especially in cooler months. Antaeus is a classic example of vintage Chanel craftsmanship, and its discontinued status makes it a sought-after piece for those who value rich, uncompromising compositions.

中文簡介

Antaeus 由 Chanel 於 1981 年推出,屬木質西普調。前調以快樂鼠尾草、芫荽、佛手柑、青檸、阿瑪菲檸檬和桃金孃展開,清新中帶草本辛香。中調轉為玫瑰、百里香、羅勒和茉莉,花香與綠意交織。基調則以海狸香、橡苔、廣藿香和法國勞丹脂為主,散發深沉皮革、苔蘚與泥土煙燻感,餘韻悠長。

此香適合追求經典陽剛氣質的收藏家,木質與芳香主導,皮革、苔蘚、泥土和煙燻感突出。適合晚間或正式場合,秋冬季節尤佳。作為 Chanel 的經典之作,Antaeus 已停產,其濃郁而不妥協的風格,值得珍藏。

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.
