Seeking an honest opinion about Chanel Antaeus pour Homme.

[Andrè Moreau]

I found a 50ml mint and sealed bottle batched "8812" for 50 euros (65 $), it should be produced around year 2007 according to Cosmetic Check.

Well, since I have read so many reviews about at least TWO reformulations, about "Antaeus is not a good frag anymore", about "ruining a great scent" and blah blah blah..... I'd like to know your HONEST opinion: if a 2007 bottle is worth of a blind buy.
I remember it in the beginning of '90, and It was really a strong and masculine scent. More than 20 years ( and some reformulation ) ago.
What's your opinion? To buy or to wait again for a vintage bottle?

Fair deal

[Thematt202]

I've only tried the recent formulation but I like it. Kinda harsh and a little pissy!

[Le Grand Duc]

Yep! Fair deal. I have both vintage and modern,
and I actually prefer the modern one.
It has sharper and longerlasting top notes. And
it's the top notes I love the most in Antaeus.

[Jack Hunter]

I liked it but had to get rid of it has I got so many negative reactions from people wearing it.

[barclaydetolly]

The price seems fair; the only issue is whether you like it. I never had the privilege of trying the vintage, but hate the current version. I think more people like Antaeus than dislike it, but there are lots who think it smells bad.

Really, your question doesn't have an answer. You need to try it yourself.

[LiveJazz]

I like it, and yes that is a good price. I had no idea it was such a divisive scent; to me it's very soft and was immediately likeable. Not sure if I have the vintage or the modern version though.

[southerngardens]

The consensus is that most people like Antaeus, in both formulations, than not; myself included. So I would take the deal.

I'd like to know your HONEST opinion: if a 2007 bottle is worth of a blind buy.

In my opinion - Yes.

[noirdrakkar]

i tried the modern bottle. it was good - not great. the fact that it weakened wasn't its biggest flaw. its subtlety in fact was one of its greatest strengths

[nonsisa]

Have you already tried it, or are you planning to blind buy?

[reinhard5490]

its a good deal. anyway, if its slightly weaker than the old ones, I believe that would be... better? I dont think I want to strongly smells of castoreum when I walk to a party

[ChuckW]

I think it's an outdated scent. It was great in its day. Not so much for the current times. That's just my two cents. That said, I would choose it over 1 Million any day!

[Oslo-Fjord]

I like it, but with todays version I don't get that "power" vibe everybody talks about. After 30min I can almost not smell it on my skin anymore. Can it be nose-fatigue?

[Ken_Russell]

Constantly enjoyed this fragrance in any formulation.

[DanHD]

I really enjoy it - great woods. But about 8 hours in, it just overtakes me and I have to scrub it off. That said, I'm going to order another decant so I can experience the beginning again.
