Antaeus is the name of ancient Greek demigod. Strong, like a god, and gentle as a man, Antaeus belongs to those perfumes of expressed individuality and strong character which emphasize masculinity, what was a trend in 1980-ies. Myrtle and sage, lime and thyme have united to give the fragrance a special freshness and masculine character. The fragrance is warming up and becomes intensive at the end due to patchouli, sandal and labdanum in the base. Sharp animalistic nuance is brought in by the notes of castoreum and leather.

The top notes include lemon, lime, coriander, myrtle, clary sage, and bergamot. The heart is composed of thyme, basil, rose and jasmine, while the base of patchouli, castoreum, labdanum, and oak moss. The perfume was created by Jacques Polge in 1981.

I almost feel like I am basting myself with this herbal blast & I only put on a drop....wowzer!

Lovely & dry, stripping almost, with a peppery spice. The floral lift lightens the sunbleached wood & gently warms.

I love patchouli, leather, sage, thyme, & woody notes, so it is no suprise that it's got my full attention. But the best bit for me is the dryness....it is so, sooo dry. I'm almost imagining crunching those parched leaves in my hand.

I'm so intrigued I'm going to have to try this again tomorrow (& this is one that I really should leave to the boys...no, definitely MEN).

I am looking to purchase Antaeus Pour Homme Emulison Apres Pasage by Chanel. It is a vintage 1981 after shave emulusion.

To give a frame of reference, Antaeus starts off smelling like a lighter, sweeter, higher quality version of QUORUM. A spicy-leather.
About 3 hours later, the florals come out in a strong way! For the next 2 hours, you will smell like a real dandy.
Thankfully, the florals calm down a little and you are left with a really sweet base. Complex, very unpleasant, odd smelling, and outdated.
Reminds me of the 80's.
I imagine Hugh Hefner wearing this.

Antaeus was a Libyan giant, a son of Poseidon and Gaia. He was undeafeted when he was touching the Earth - his mother. When Hercules elevated him, Antaeus became weak as an ordinary mortal.
This dualism of a nature of this mythological character inspired the originators of the perfume. They wanted to create a fragrance that would be powerful like an antique god and delicate like a human.

The scent is woody-aromatic-leather ...
For men that keep their feet steady on the ground, but privately conceal uncontrollable fantasy and enormous sensibility. Absolutely unique!

I can describe this fragance with just one word: masculine. But i can add a few: classy, mysterious, sharp and dark. I bought it when i was 18 three years ago, and maybe i was too young for this scent, but now... i guess i have the right to use iy

Rich, darkly sweet, sparkling, and very different from the men's fragrances I encountered in the 80's. Masculine to the utmost. Looking back, it was far too mature for me. As others have pointed out, a powerhouse scent, requiring light application. A metal container bought in more recent times did not smell the same, though - has the formulation changed? Was the metal of the container (as opposed to the orginal glass) a factor? Very hard to come by in the States, but I will certainly add this to my wardrobe again in the near future.

I agree 101% with gerco!!! I love men wearing this... It shows remarkable poise and confidence in a man. Unfortunately men who have become accustomed to lathering themselves with cologne will find Antaeus overwhelming. It's a cologne that doesn't need to be hosed on guys!!! This gorgeous fragance only needs to grace your skin lightly. Out of all the mens colognes out there, this ranks in the top 3. It's a classic and one of the best from Chanel so far.

The first blast is quite manly. As it dried down, it changed drastically. I swear it smells much like Chanel No. 5. And I do not like Chanel No. 5. I started to get a headache, very similar to the averse reaction I have to Chanel No. 5. Looking above, I see no aldehydes, which are often implicated in headache-inducing fragrances. But surely, there is something that is similar in these two, and Antaeus is just the male-marketed version. So sad, cuz I'd heard so much about this fragrance. However, it is not something I can tolerate.
