What do reviewers say about Antaeus and Balafre Vert?
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
Balafre Vert doesn't shout. The opening is all crisp green and lavender, but the drydown leans into vetiver and leather, a slow, smoky reveal that rewards patience.Balafre Vert
