About This Fragrance
CHANEL ANTAEUS is an eau de toilette introduced in 1981. It pairs warm leather with fresh aromatic herbs, expressing strength together with sensitivity. Its name comes from the Greek mythological figure whose strength depended on contact with the earth.
Scent Profile
Fresh lavender blends with a complex leather accord, accompanied by woody and spicy accents. Listed notes include clary sage and citrus, rose with herbs, and patchouli and labdanum. The combination gives substantial leather a cooler aromatic character.
Who It's For
A candidate for someone who enjoys both leather and fresh herbs, especially on cool autumn and winter evenings, with chilly spring days as another option. Hot, humid weather is less suitable. Reports of persistence and noticeable projection suggest starting with a small amount and observing its development on skin over several hours.
