    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 doing something that most flankers and flankers' flankers forgot how to do. The castoreum doesn't overwhelm, it anchors. Gives the green, the herbal, the citrus something to hold onto.Renato Balestra Pour Homme
