Antonio Puig Sybaris is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1988, created by Alberto Morillas and Rosendo Mateu. Sybaris opens with Green Notes, Lemon, Mandarin, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Jasmine, Geranium, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Antonio Puig's Sybaris carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A lost 80s powerhouse that still commands respect, Sybaris is a complex, unapologetically masculine chypre. Prepare for a rich, spicy journey; it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, particularly due to its prominent cumin note. A true collector's gem.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with a rich, assertive chypre profile, make it less ideal for the office. However, its sophisticated and bold character is perfect for dates and evening wear, lending itself well to both smart casual and formal occasions, particularly in cooler weather.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Eugenol from Cinnamon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Sybaris opens with a vibrant, slightly sharp green burst, zesty lemon, and a distinctive aldehydic sparkle, quickly underpinned by an intriguing cumin warmth. The heart unfolds into a sophisticated blend of creamy sandalwood, spicy cloves and cinnamon, with touches of jasmine and juniper adding aromatic depth. As it settles, a rich, earthy base emerges, dominated by rugged leather, deep oakmoss, smoky incense, and warm amber, leaving a long-lasting, memorable trail.
