Viktor&Rolf Antidote is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Pierre Wargnye and Aliénor Massenet. Antidote opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Mandarin, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Violet, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Viktor&Rolf's Antidote carries an Acquired verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

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.
