What do reviewers say about MEM and Antaeus?
The malt. That's the thing. That toasted, warm, bread-from-the-kitchen sweetness that runs through MEM's dark lavender, this is what people either love or can't get past.MEM
Antaeus does not ask permission. The castoreum and oakmoss drydown will dominate any room you enter. This is a fragrance for those who want to be remembered, not liked.Antaeus
