2013: the world took its first breath of Antigua Phaedon. A unisex fragrance from the chypre and fruit families. The talent of Pierre Guillaume is written all over this bottle. A fragrance from the Eaux de Parfum Concentrees collection, in eau de parfum.
It stays on the skin for a good while — longevity is firmly in the moderate range. Brand country — France. Antigua Phaedon unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Antigua is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Phaedon is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.
As soon as the fragrance opens you meet invigorating sunny top notes: Apricot, Bergamot, Grapefruit and Guava.
In the heart you notice Fig Leaf, Peach and Rose carrying a aromatic green direction. At drydown level the line is anchored through Oak moss, Patchouli, Vanilla, Vetiver and musk, reinforcing a earthy woody-resinous trail.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Fruit, Citrus, Green and Floral. The palette also extends to Earthy / Mossy, Wood, Gourmet and Musk. At family level the fragrance belongs to Chypre and Fruit.
Overall Antigua sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged in wear.
