Antonia Puredistance for women

This is certainly not a women-only scent. It's a beautiful, rich green floral that is as perfectly balanced and articulated as its peers from the line. It opens with a real brightness that neither shrieks nor whimpers, but instead announces its presence with dignity and confidence. Navigating the space between classical and new, there's a true sophistication in the construction that would lend itself to a variety of moods and wearings. It smells like spring, and could probably recreate springtime in the midst of winter. Furthermore, this is a scent that would lend itself well to blending with other scents, even as a juxtaposition to a scent such as M—it's own inherent juxtapositions aside.

Great stuff from a company that's at the forefront of modern perfumery, and deservedly so.

There is a perfume with my name?? Right, its only logical I find this.

The only thing I can add to all this wonderful reviews here is that this perfume is going very well for men also.

L'unica cosa che posso aggiungere ai tutti le recensioni meravigliosi è che questo profumo va benissimo anche per uomo.

the best scent i have ever tried

the negative point that its not that powerful sillage other than this its the best really

last for long time

2nd nigative point its so expansive

i see this perfume needs little adjusment then will be in the top of the perfume industry

I happened to try "Antonia" and I believe that this is truly a masterpiece for all the possible qualities a product of really high perfumery can have: composition, ingredients, sillage, and originality; not to mention "beauty" a quality - sometimes - omitted, especially in (sorry) niche perfumery in the name of an originality probably too constrained, sometimes.

Unfortunately - though I've got a penchant for 'quality' niche perfumery - I find A. and the others really expensive. Nothing to say about the quantity you can use which is really homeopathic and persistency is about 12 or even more hours. Mainly designed for 'faithful' and mature investors: people sure to wear only a frag and this one would be a superior choice, after all if you really buy just one perfume you could easily aspire to to biggest bottle (instead of buying one hundred a year!) whereas I'm a sort of 'libertine' who over-buyes good frags (as many other here in the 'clan'!) therefore I couldn't do him (for me perfumes are only male!) any justice seeing it - after a while - as just another bottle in the cupboard only there to increase my every-morning perplexity: "and now what frag can I wear?!"

An èlite fragrance, no doubt!

Excellent: 10/10

p.s. I really recommend to try it just for a question of "general knowledge" and also to increase your culture about 'fragrance' ; )

Sounds so nice, cant wait to get my tester.. but really it's just a tease, because perhaps I can buy a tiny bottle ....but it could never be my signature (which is what I'm looking for) ... i could never afford it. But if this were in the affordable range, I think I might be all about it! lol

I think the model is gorgeous ... a natural beauty..love the pics.. and concept.. again, just not realistic for me :/ and I'm not one bit happy about this

It's like you havn't eaten for days... and there's a room full of people with all kinds of the best food, they let you see in there, maybe take a little wiff, but never let you in to really fill your tummy..... of course I'm not happy :/ lol

The model in the ad has an expression on her face like she is posing with a dead thing that she was somewhat familiar with but knows everyone else is depressed for having lost, yet wants to express how pleasurable it was to those who knew it. ??? so ODD! i guess it makes sense cause its so exclusive but i almost feel like i am a bored little kid in church again. On a different note:: i am DYING to try this, i really like green florals and it has my name!!

In a nutshell, this was a strong green floral. I mainly smelled the orris and galbanum. There was only a hint of vanilla, the jasmine was light(I was okay with that) and it reminded me of Pleasures a bit. It was okay but I won't need a decant or bottle.

Wow, the other reviewers got something entirely different. I guess everyone should try this just because it seems to react very differently on each person. I got an oily, vintage style floral with creamy base notes and a peppery green edge that added dimension without being abrasive. But definitely an old style heavy floral.

NOtes wise this should be a slam dunk for me, and it's not, which means I have to figure out what happened.

Ever go to Home Despot for a new interior door, the kind you paint yourself? Keep that smell in mind.

Now zip on over to Wally World for a plastic bucket, a pair of rain boots, and some paint cleaner. Put it all on top of the door. There it is. Doesn't smell nice, does it?

The problem with high concentrated parfums is that they can really bitch slap your nose. I"m wondering if Antonia needs to sit on the shelf and age for a while. It has that 'just plucked from the vine' sharpness going on and isn't smooth to me at all.

So alright, not my choice of a fixture, but it seems to be a hot new line so I do encourage you to try it.

Combination of classy notes at the beginning of the composition ( like as it is in Sisley Soir de Lune), with fine and gentle powdery notes (as in Teint de Neige but smoother), followed by Organza (warm flowers - nutty) base notes. One of the most beautiful scents I've tried in Cannes this year, and that goes for the whole year of testing too.

Precious nuances of head and heart notes with calm dry down gives you the feeling of wearing three scents of the same feminine story.

If you like aldehydes at the top of fragrances, you will like this one very much. My skin is not in love with aldehydes, except those in Chanel No5 Elixir Sensuel, but Antonia ones are so precious on it. (The same aldehydes as in Sisley Soir de Lune).

The beginning of the fragrance is bold, green, sparkling and crisp. The heart calms all notes with fine powder, which acts like a warming and cuddling gentle cover. When I mentioned Organza, I was thinking of warmth and floral nuances mixed with nuts, which I can detect in Antonia too. If I have to choose a color of the dry down it would be dark yellow, warm as the sunset.

In fact, nothing is too aggressive or intense; it is skillfully rounded by the base free from aldehydes and powdery trace, representing the core of the whole story. Warm floral notes remain close to the skin and call you to constantly sniff and enjoy in it. The scent stay attached to the skin without wide aura per hours.

Masterpiece - I love it!
