Antilope Weil for women

My newest! I'm wearing it troday and I'm impressed. Such a nice fresh floral scent. Not sweet at all, it's more soft and musky green.

I'm in the midle of that wonderful smell bublle and I love it soooo much. I think I could eat it!

I don't know the old version of this stuff and as I can see from reviews it differs a lot from the new one. Obviously the one I have is the reformulated one - but nevertheless, believe me it is fantastic.

Strongly recommend it!

I agree with CaraMia. I loved the original, but the remake is sickly and bears no relation to the beautiful subtle scent I remember. And it's not just that the years have passed either! How sad to have lost something so unique.

Just got a decant of the vintage, which is a rounded aldehydic chypre - if that makes any sense at all. The current - reformulated - cologne is still adlehydic, with chamomile and leather. Carla describes it better than I do. Weil is the greatest perfume house; if only its current owners could hew closer to the origninal. Still, 2nd rate Weil beats a lot of 1st rate other stuff.

I'm getting heartily sick of people who refer to classic, vintage perfumes as so-called "old lady" scents!!!! It's such a cliche.

When you're older, like me, Britney Spears "Curious" will possibly be referred to as an "old lady" scent!!!!!

Weil is actually a perfume house I would qualify as a true 'expert'-house. Their perfumes are not for the people looking for highly modern perfumes, more the vintage addicts like myself. Antilope vintage is like very expensive jewelry to me. It is a counterpart to Zibeline. I wish I had Zibeline in big...
Thankgod I have Antilope in big...
Would hate to miss them both..

One of my favourite parfums.

floral woodsy aldehydic chypreish

tangerine, neroli, galbanum, acacia, farnesiana, narcisssus, hyacinth, ylang ylang, may rose, lily of the valley, oakmoss, civet, sandalwood and musk

Weil ANTILOPE reformulated edc reminds me a bit of CABOCHARD meets MADAME ROCHAS. The opening definitely carries that "old lady" or "my friend who wore perfume back in grade school and drank milk from a saucer like a cat" smell.

I'm personally all for "old lady" perfumes: give me aldehydes, dried flowers, and dark chypres any day! In fact, I have a ton of them! This one is not as nice as some, but better than others and certainly wearable. I think that ANTILOPE, even this "weak, insipid, blasphemous" reformulation, could really grow on me, if I gave it some time, especially since the drydown is sufficiently appealing and complex.

The question is: will I reach for ANTILOPE so long as I have so many other time-tested old lady perfumes in my armoire? We shall see...

I experienced an animalic type of leather scent. It was soft, but only leather. I couldn't detect any other notes. It was not powdery. It was not sparkling. It was not herbal. It was only leather.

it reminds me little bit of John Galliano edp.They have similar notes

My review is for the vintage 'Extrait' with reference to the re-formulated version of this 1946 floral / aldehydic masterpiece by Weil.
Gorgeous opening with top notes of Tangerine, Neroli & Clary sage followed closely by a powerful interplay of exquisite floral absolutes comprising Rose, Jasmine, Mimosa (Acacia), Iris & Jonquil. All of these elements rest on a supporting base of cool Vetyver, Sandalwood, Musk, Amber & Civet. Beautifully blended parfum with extraordinary sillage and longevity on skin.
These earlier Weil formulas contained high concentrations of natural animal fixatives and are rarely used in present day commercial perfumery, if at all ! These included tinctures of Deer musk, Civet, Ambergris, Castoreum & Musk Ambrette as well as the now obsolete Nitro musks and their associated synthetic analogues & ketones.
This is where I find similarities with other vintage perfumes, such as Chanel No.5, L'Origin & L'Aimant by Coty, Arpege de Lanvin & Dana's 'Tabu'.
'Antilope' in the re-formulated version also contains Chamomile, this astringent/herbal element creates a more austere/arid feel in the eventual dry-down and is absent in the original version.
Alas,
One more fragrant jewel lost to the ether !

You know this is a very nice scent but for the fact it is so watered down that it should be in the ninety nine cent store! I was so infuriated at what was sent to me that I sent it back for a full refund and I was not going to take "NO" for an answer! I imagine at one time this was a real classic beauty but what you get now is a mere shadow of its existence before things got out of hand with selling pure garbage for money!

This one came out during the craze for aldehydes where the rage and this hapends to have aldehydes this one has more of an exotic tinge to it chanel no 5 has more of a sparkling bergamot and lemon weil's antilope more is a musky
leather of a perfume.

The word Antilope more you think of a african serengeti and i'm thinking of a
exculsive hunters country club in narobi
kenya where hauty british colonial aristrocrats sipping on their champagne
or watching a stampead of zebra elephant lion all the animals of the plains of africa. or the sunset on the african horizon.

Vintage Weil De Antilope is the bomb! If Chanel No.5 isn't your thing and you are a floral-aldehyde lover and enjoy soft leathery undertones, try this. The House of Weil, way back when, got it right with this original concoction, it's steals No.5's thunder big time.
Weil's selection of top notes with neroli and bergamot mixed with "just enough" aldehyde that gets you off to a pleasing beginning. Nice and slow enter the floral ensemble with the equality of each one perfectly blended. Hold on there's more! You become enticed with the amber-y, soft leathery warmth while vetiver makes a climatic appearance in the final sequence. What can I say? It was iconic in the 40's and 50's (so they say) a smash hit in the 60's & 70"s( I can attest to this) re-surged in popularity in the 80's and 90's and for me, continues to work wonders in the moment.
Antilope, It's Addicting & Awesome!

Post Note: This review is based on the original vintage formulation.
The current formulation is like, what is this potion? An extremely poor representation of what it was meant to be, so don't bother. Go for the gold and invest in Weil's original.

I purchased a vintage micro-mini of Antilope because the notes, the category and the age of the perfume gave every indication that I would find the scent agreeable. I love those heavy-duty old school florals and dark orientals (aka "old lady scents"). On paper, it looked like a smorgasbord of my favorite aromas.

Alas, I have met my match in vintage Antilope.

I don't know if the volatile top notes have burned off due to age, or if the character of this fragrance is just too dark and dense for me to wear. It is a murky soup of musk, amber and oakmoss on my skin.

I passed this on to another member and may she wear it in good health!

Having been some younger I weared Antilope and Weil de Weil - but then both fragrances got lost. Two years ago my son brought me Antilope and Weil the Weil from US. To be frank I was very disappointed by the Antilope - I remember another type of scent and also the wrapping was strange to me. Weil de Weil was okay - I enjoyed it really. Now I am seeking for the original Antilope - the noble very fine delicate feminine fragrance - as I remember it from the time of my university studies in 70s.

I was first given this perfume at the tender age of 13 just before my first trip to Italy. Well it stuck in my head (or should I say my nostrils)and had been searching for it for years later. My childhood friend had been listening to me for years about how I had been looking for it and being an avid perfume wearer herself (albeit more knowledgeable than I ever could hope to be)happended to come across it whilst holidaying in Sydney Australia in a perfumery store. You can imagine my excitedness when she returned bearing my much-searched-for ANTELOPE perfume. The moment I sprayed it, it opended up the memory floodgates for me. I absolutely love it as for me it is a link back to my childhood (perfumes have a way of doing that). I am now in my late 40s and still have the bottle tucked away in my bathroom cabinet. LOVELY............

The original is stunning, the remake is a no-go for me bearing no relation to the original's rich musky spendor.
