I’m feeling exceptionally happy because it’s a sunny and warm day, which are two of my favorite things. These two fragrances always make me feel great. On a warmer day, I would love to hear my brother’s/Sisters favorite scent that brings joy to them on a warmer days.

Think I may have just found my favourite old school scent. This is also first Chanel to break into my top five. It's name comes from the Greek demigod who drew his strength from the Earth. It was one of the first major creations by Jacques Polge, who had recently become Chanel’s in-house master perfumer a role he held for over 30 years.It arrived in 1981 at a time when men's fragrances were moving away from the fresh & light and toward the bold beastly. This is a an edt, but a powerhouse of a woody Chypre. It's loud & long lasting. It opens with a herbaceous punch.Unlike modern scents that use blue or watery notes, Antaeus hits with a dry, herbal blast. Clary Sage & Myrtle: give a fuzzy, tea like, camphoraceous start. A citrus blend Bergamot, Lemon & Lime are present, but they aren't juicy & act more like a cleaning agent to cut through the heavy base notes that sit underneath. It finishes of with a Spicey/woody coriander which bridges the gap between the fresh top the floral heart. As the herbs settle, the fragrance reveals a surprising gentlemanly core. Damask Rose, the secret weapon of Antaeus. It’s not a sweet or femine, but a dark, spicy, thorn" rose with a velvety texture. The Jasmine adds a touch of slightly fleshy sweetness. With a savoury combo of Thyme & Basil to balanc the floral notes & keep the rugged, earthy vibe. The base is the beasts lair. You get Oakmoss for that bitter, damp, forest-floor aroma. Patchouli & Vetiver which add a dry, woody, dirty root like smell. Cistus Labdanum is a sticky resin that provides a balsamic, amber like warmth, tying the animalic notes to the woods. Then the secret weapon that gives Antaeus it's growl, Castoreum, is a synthetic, originally derived from beavers, it smells like oily leather, smoke & warm skin. While the modern formulation is slightly cleaner & less aggressive than the 1981 original, due to the Restrictions of certain ingredients, it remains one of the few true 80s survivors that still rocks. Despite it's edt designation, this juice packs a mighty punch, even after wasking I can still pick it up on my skin, easily an 8 to 9 hr scent. Protection is also a big hitter, with a heavy scent bubble for the first 3 hrs and a trail to match. I'm still experimenting with this one spray wise. Less seems to be more. This is Alfa male in a bottle. More of an older guys fragrance. But I would recommend all gents to at least try this one.
