    What do reviewers say about Antaeus and Tsar?

    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
    This is old-world masculine. Not old-fashioned, old-world. The kind of fragrance that smells like decisiveness, like someone who's never had to explain themselves twice.Tsar
