Regalien Antidote Extrait

Description

Antidote Extrait channels a smoky honey-and-tobacco warmth. Composed by dsm-firmenich and MG Gulcicek, it opens with nutmeg, geranium and rose leaf before a heart of honey, mimosa, sage and jasmine takes hold, then settles into a tobacco-vanilla-patchouli base that reads more intimate than showy.

Scent Character

• Floral: 34%
• Smoky & Resinous: 23%
• Spicy: 21%
• Sweet: 22%

Translation: a sweet, honeyed floral-amber with a smoky-resinous undertow rather than literal agarwood. There's no oud note in the pyramid, so the warmth comes from tobacco and patchouli instead.

FAQ

Is it men's or women's?
Unisex. The honey-tobacco base wears equally well on any skin.

What's the longevity?
Long. Extrait-strength wear in the 8–10+ hour range is typical, with the tobacco-patchouli base carrying furthest.

How does it compare to other honey-tobacco fragrances?
It sits in the honeyed-tobacco family, with a smoother, gentler character than the louder scents in that style.

Is the 'oud' accord literal agarwood?
No. Antidote doesn't contain an agarwood note. The smoky-resinous character comes from tobacco and patchouli.
