Antares
A dark and opulent study of fruit, tobacco and rare oud.
The fragrance opens with rum-soaked red fruits, tart blackberry and caramel, illuminated by saffron, frankincense and the electric spice of zanthoxylum. The initial sweetness is rich but unsettled—a vivid fruit accord edged with smoke, spice and resin.
At the heart, rose and lily of the valley emerge through rhubarb, davana and Egyptian geranium. Coffee, golden tobacco leaf and sweet clover create a deeper, more textured character, evoking dried petals, cured leaves and dark fruit slowly steeped in liquor.
The base brings together five distinctive oud distillations from Cambodia, Kalakassi, Bormi, Trat and Assam. These are layered with labdanum, cypriol, patchouli and vetiver, then darkened with suede, Peru balsam, cedar tar and cade. Vanilla bean, tonka and coumarin provide a final warmth beneath the woods and smoke.
Dark fruit. Golden tobacco. Smouldering resins. Rare oud.
