Our verdict on Antidote: Acquired

This discontinued gem divides opinion yet commands cult status for its unique, multi-layered complexity. Antidote is either an intoxicating masterpiece or an unwearable scrubber, but rarely anything in between. Track it down for a sniff, if you dare.

About

Antidote opens with a vibrant, fresh burst of mint and citrus, quickly spiced by cardamom before settling into a warm heart of lavender, violet, and cinnamon. The dry down is a rich, complex tapestry of incense, leather, sandalwood, and amber, all underpinned by a subtly sweet vanilla and deep woody notes. It's an intriguing dance between fresh and warm, floral and earthy.
