Thread Starter 
I am 34. I`ve got Antaeus and Pour Monsieur in my collection.. Sometimes i get the feeling that Antaeus is to "oldish" to me, and that Pour Monseiur is to formal. The longevity and sillage on PM is no so god on me..(unfortunately). I have only tried Dior Eau Savage once, and liked it. In which order would you rank these scents? And which of them are most suitable to my age?

It depends, I wore Antaeus several times along the years and I currently have Eau Savage. I like Eau Savage better, it is more versatile, fresher and, in my humble opinion, the more juvenile of the two.
My ranking based on your age and your own comments would be.
1- Eau Savage
2- Antaeus ( is old buy yet still does the trick, it was a visionary fragrance for its time)
3- Pour Monsieur . Too serious.

Pour Monsieur is far superior to the other two, they ain't even on the same level, in my opinion

I personally do not think Eau Sauvage has great longevity (if that is a concern) - so make sure you try it several times on your skin to determine how it works for you.

Chanel Pour Monsieur the original formulation is heads and shoulders above the other two, in my opinion. I'm not a fan of the Concentre version, however.

They're all great and I wear them, but you will feel mature if you wear any. I understand your concern.

If you want a more contemporary smell, simply don't wear those classic chypres. Go for lighter stuff, with no regrets.

It's true that they all have a mature complexity and heft to them. I'd rank them this way:
1. Antaeus
2. Eau Sauvage
3. Chanel Pour Monsieur
