About this fragrance

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

Antaeus (1981) is a woody chypre that opens with a bracing blend of clary sage, coriander, bergamot, lime, Amalfi lemon, and myrtle. This citrus-herbal burst quickly gives way to a heart of rose, thyme, basil, and jasmine, adding a floral-aromatic complexity. The base is a dense, animalic tapestry of castoreum, oakmoss, patchouli, and French labdanum, creating a leathery, mossy, and smoky foundation that lingers for hours.

Collectors prize Antaeus for its uncompromising, old-school character—bold, earthy, and unapologetically masculine. It suits those who appreciate vintage chypres with a strong animalic streak, ideal for evening wear or cooler months. The 100% woody and 97% aromatic accords ensure a robust, textured experience that evolves slowly on skin. If you seek a classic powerhouse that embodies the opulence of 1980s French perfumery, Antaeus remains a benchmark.

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.
