Antaeus

Mostly cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on myrhh, clary sage and coriander, moves through rose, thyme and basil, and settles on castoreum, oakmoss and patchouli.

• clary sage: a warm, slightly boozy herb with a hay-like sweetness. Softer and less medicinal than ordinary sage
• coriander: green seedy spice, faintly soapy with a citrus edge

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
