THE GREEK HERO OF CHANEL
Antaeus by Chanel is an "Eau de Toilette" for a man belonging to the woody chypre family. This is a classic from the prestigious Chanel house, as it was their second men's fragrance, has been on sale for over three decades, and remains among the most exclusive men's fragrances par excellence.
This fragrance was created in 1981 by perfumer Jacques Polge. He describes the story of a Greek demigod, Antaeus, strong and intense, who has the ability to combine the extra natural powers of Greek mythology with the delicacy and sensitivity of a real man. Thus, Antaeus is a flesh-and-blood hero, versatile and with an immense personality, full of contrasts that make him a unique and charming kind.
Your intense presence begins with a sensory explosion, caused by the citrus freshness of bergamot, Amalfi lemon, and lime, which make the earthy and resinous notes of coriander, galbanum, and myrrh vibrate. Then, a more delicate heart opens, perhaps this is the key to the success of this fragrance, a perfect combination of opposite extremes, formed by jasmine, thyme, rose, and basil. In its final state, we find intertwined oakmoss, French labdanum, patchouli, and castoreum, woody accords that give it a very masculine tone.
