Phaedon Paris Antigua is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Pierre Guillaume. Antigua opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lime, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Rose, Fig Leaf, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Phaedon Paris's Antigua carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

A divisive summer fruity chypre that's either a joyful, sparkling tropical cocktail or a challenging mentholated fruit syrup that smells like BO to some. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's pure summer in a bottle.

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.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Antigua opens with a vibrant, sparkling burst of grapefruit and lime, brightened by juicy guava and apricot. As it settles, a lush heart of peach and rose emerges, nestled amongst green fig leaves. The base grounds the fruity exuberance with an earthy blend of vetiver, patchouli, and oakmoss, softened by a hint of vanilla and a clean musk.
