What do reviewers say about Antaeus and African Gold?
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
Sweetness that means business. Most fragrances flirt; African Gold commits. The honey-vanilla-cacao base doesn't whisper, it stays. Worth it for anyone tired of smelling like everyone else.African Gold
