What do reviewers say about Davidoff and Antaeus?
Davidoff came before Cool Water made the brand unavoidable. Leather, castoreum, and oakmoss don't play safe. They reward the man who wears them without apology.Davidoff
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
