    Real talk

    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
    It's an inexpensive oriental bomb, and the people who love it aren't embarrassed to say so. The spicy-woody character isn't trying to reinvent anything.Sex Appeal
