+MrSmelly1977 Thank you for watching it and for subscribing :)

[@tedoneilclark4710]

Not neglected just too expensive 🤣

[@Canada-gs3jc]

Antaeus paired with attitude, Jeans and a leather jacket equal perfection. Rock star stuff!

[@tedoneilclark4710]

Movie star 🤣

[@jamesbradshaw9406]

I've been out and bought this fragrance and am not disappointed, starting uni soon so this will be a good scent to start wearing when meeting so many new people. Thanks a lot!

[@SuperDacob]

James Bradshaw Thank you for watching my video James :) Glad you like Antaeus! Wish you a lot of fun times with it!

[@tedoneilclark4710]

Have you successfully completed university and made a success of your life now.😀🤣🤣🤣

[@ggluuna]

My dad used to wear Antheus, he had such a good taste. I love the clargy sage and the review.

[@rogergraves8108]

I just got into fragrances almost two years ago and now really love vintage fragrances. I’m a man but I love them so much it dose matter if they are male or female targeted . I still haven’t tried this. But I love Kouros, Lapidus Yatagan,Aramis,Aramis 900, Cabochard, Elizabeth Taylor passion for women white Diamonds, Lauder for men, Rochas femme boss number one. Please keep doing retro and vintage fragrances

[@souzabox]

You absolutely nailed the complexity of Antaeus in your visual rich description. This masterpiece can be an untamed beast or a strong but charismatic and sofisticated gentleman. Either way, strenght and character are always present. Excellent review! Subscribed.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you for subscribing to my channel Sérgio and glad you also like Antaeus.

[@Alex-us2vw]

It’s not overpowering once it dries down. I find it gets better as the hours go by, but not something I would spray right before jumping in the car full of people. Once 30-40 minutes passes it’s good to go and by 3-4hrs it’s in its sweet spot. I remember when I first bought it me and my GF hated it when it was just sprayed on the tester. Then after looking at other options and back at the Chanel section smelt the test paper from 20-30min earlier and it was amazing. We both hated it when freshly sprayed but ended up being a fav once dried down.

[@SuperDacob]

This is when a perfume is well made! The dry down tells us if the fragrance is well made and of good quality. When only the head notes are great and the dry down disappointing then we should keep our fingers away from that perfume. Unfortunately nowadays people have no patience to try perfumes on the right way and give them time to develop on the skin. People want satisfaction fast and that leads the perfume companies to making perfumes that convince in the opening notes immediately but then are a mess in the dry down... perfume needs time to mix with our skin chemistry and time to settle down on our skin and that is something people just tend to forget when purchasing new fragrances... xoxo

[@Alex-us2vw]

It’s a sales tactic employed by lots of brands nowadays. They know most consumers spray and smell right away then quickly move on to the next one if it’s not initially appealing. So a fragrance that opens nice will by default sell better even if it dries down is terrible or has no staying power.

[@gilbertshouse5537]

i love Antaeus very much. it's remind me Chanel No.5.....i can't stop smell it. very mature and professional scent.

[@SuperDacob]

+gillbert gil I agree!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I love this perfume. For me, it is my absolute favourite, totally. After reading the list of ingredients, I know why. Those items have an ecclesiastic theme. Antaeus brings back my childhood memories of grand church services and incense. A brilliant perfume. I love it.

[@SuperDacob]

+Daniel Hammond I love it too! I do not wear it every day, but I definitely smell it at least once a week out of the bottle! It warms me up each time!

[@kafkakinder]

Such a poetic review. I love Anteus, I´ve been wearing since I was 15.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you! It is a great fragrance!

[@user-hn9cj6kh9j]

This is how a perfume review should be. Deep, poetic and informative. If this was the standard...

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you Hakim! Very kind words! I appreciate it!

[@nikhilkurmala4237]

God I don't know why you aren't so popular yet. Like not just the videos you make but the way you talk to us and the tone you have is so soothing I like to watch the videos when I'm also angry your voice is so soothing :3 keep it up man and always remain happy this way :))

[@davidelwin2874]

Love the content. Brilliant job. Bought my 2nd bottle today. Had to back it up. I have never had a signature sent, but with a decent collection I think I’ve found it in Antaeus.

[@Ricki_Snow]

Mate, love your reviews! Antaeus was my introduction to Chanel, Pour Monsieur EDT is incredible as well but Antaeus is my go to, incredible power house fragrance!Can't express how good it is, so I won't lol, I'll leave that to you. Btw...Can't stand the Allure crap, not Chanel. Platinum Ego and Egoiste are slightly above average IMHO. Congrats on your Chanel..I mean channel. Cheers.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you so much Ricardo! Very kind of you! You can place your Antaeus bottle close to a strong light bulb while its on and you can see where the level of liquid is ;) cheers

[@western-oud1898]

I bought a new bottle last week and it's still good..chanel don't mess around to much with its reformulations

[@JT-zm7kj]

Probably my favorite bottle design of any fragrance. Very nice, quality fragrance, masculine. However in my opinion it smells of a cologne from the past, very 80’s I can see this on someone in their 50’s. I personally couldn’t see myself wearing this at least not anytime soon.

[@nosphy]

I BLIND BUY IT ANTAEUS.....becouse i love Chanel(i own egoiste, platinum egoiste, blue, allure edition blanche).....it s strange, at the first puf it smells so familiar....i can t explain it, i never own antaeus, i love the smell but i can t imagine when i can ware it... it s a barbershop-masculine sent to me.... it s not overpowering for me at all, but i go easy on the sprayer.....another masterpiece from polge

[@joymonte5471]

If you want a stronger Antaeus you can go for Diva(Emanuel Ungaro),At the beggining it's aldehidic mossy but wait 10 min it transforms in a dark earthy rose and a beautiful little animalic honey.Diva in my skin turns really masculin and its formulatet also by Polge

[@aerotravelerNL]

I smelled the black one last week and I was quite impressed with it.

[@netbatchin35]

Dim Mih what do you mean black one?

[@frenchustube]

The bottle is black!

[@tedly6598]

Thank you for sharing this Dacob!! Amazing review, made me love this scent even more so than I already have!

[@SuperDacob]

Ted Ly Thank you Ted! Very happy you liked it! xoxo

[@PerAllwin1963]

Great video review. It’s definitely NOT a fragrance for young men under the age of 30. It’s a very mature, sophisticated, sexy classy fragrance. And super masculine, for mature men who are confident about their masculinity. It’s not a fresh or clean fragrance, being even a little dirty, animalic. Young guys are drawn to light, citrusy, fresh clean fragrances like Davidoff’s Cool Water or Bleu De Chanel. Me, like many men over the age of 40, like deep, heady scents that match their level-headedness and maturity. Antaeus for Men is definitely that.

[@izabelamaria1400]

I am a female and I love Anatheos on myself. It's like males version of another classic by Chanel - Coco which is not my favorite. I prefer Chanel No. 5.

[@alexatonement3389]

Ohh nice, that's Hella classy. Like it.

[@netbatchin35]

Izabela Maria nice chanel no•5 is best

[@merinoteflon1128]

Another subscriber garnered, super review, I gather from what you've said, that the best way to experience this mighty fragrance, is to have your feet planted firmly on the ground, and your head in the fourth dimension. No problem.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you fo rsubrsibing to my channel Merino :) Yes.. in a way feet planted firmly on the ground and the head in the fourth dimension ;) haha! Perfect! xoxo

[@jamhuman2499]

Hey dacob is all the body range discontinued except the deodorant because too be. Quite frank i would like to bathe in this but i cant find the bath gel anywhere ughhh shrieking in the annoyance of chanels monotonous love for discontinuing terrific products alas what can you do !

[@SuperDacob]

Yep, bath gel is gone. They still make the EDT, the deo stick, spray and after shave lotion in some countries.

Good, very informed review. I don't have infinite finances to try new colognes, so I rely on these reviews to guide me. Subscribed! Side note - I'm a confident heterosexual man, but you have to be one of the most beautiful people I've ever seen. Bravo!

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you for subscribing to my channel Kirk! Very kind of you! I am happy you liked my review!

[@m.burakozgul7945]

It's reformulated again. The new bottles have black sprayer instead of silver as like your one. Can you tell me how many hours last your bottle and how is the projection ?

[@SuperDacob]

+Burak Öz Mine lasts about 5 to 6 hours and projection is strong... more than an arm length away... needs to be dosed carefully and avoided on hot days...

[@m.burakozgul7945]

+Super Dacob thank you Dacob, I'll have a bottle immediately ☺️

[@manny44]

Lol...you do NOT give a kid Antaeus..I, however, am an Adult and love it.

The only cologne I have worn since 1984 I was 11.

[@Francisyrah]

Beautiful review. I got tempted and bought a bottle Antaeus today

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it :) xoxo

[@Polo-mt9rb]

Hi there. I have 50 ml bottle. The batch is 2020. I have seen the new bottles. 100 ml 2021 batches. Are 100 ml bottles weaker than 50 ml? More water down...? Or not Please what is your experiences with Chanel 50 & 100ml bottles? Cheers

[@SuperDacob]

They should not be different in terms of concentration and intensity from 100ml to 50ml within the same concentration. However, if the bottle is vintage, it could have aged differently or could have been influenced by light or humidity or heat differently and hence smells now more or less intense or even off in the top notes.

[@Polo-mt9rb]

I have vintage bottles of Polo and Drakkar Noir Cosmair editions. Vintage Quorum. They project better than new ones but they have problem with longevity. Maybe because the time or less synthetic ingredients. I don't know why is that. Anyway I will buy Chanel Anteaus 100 ml 2021 batch. I hope it's probably the same juice inside as my 50 ml bottle wich is from 2020. Anyway I have seen more than ten times your reviews about Pour Monsieur edt. I bought it few months ago. It's amazing earthy scent from the past. Much better than Eau Savage and Pinaud Clubman. Thank you man for helping me

[@smellslikejosh2406]

Wow you wove a great tapestry and I think kind of almost accidentally found your own perfect balance as the video ended so poetically! Great review! I’m wearing Antaeus for the first time as I watched.

[@SuperDacob]

Thank you! Yes, finding the right accidental balance to end a video is just like the accidental balance a perfume creates with our chemistry! If its meant to be, it happens! One should never force it :) xoxo

[@irmantasvisciunas1515]

Seems you've just been reviewing the old version of ANTAEUS, and not the reformulated version. The fact is that the vintage spray is silver. The reformulated version houses a black spray.

[@SuperDacob]

That is correct. Note that when I made my review, the silver sprayer was the only one in production. My review is from several years ago. xoxo

[@edgy8481]

I'm a little late coming to this review but now I'm intrigued. Nordstroms carries it and it's available nowhere else, I might check it out this weekend. By the way could you possibly do a review of Jules by Christian Dior?

[@SuperDacob]

Its been heavily reformulated but it still has Antaeus at its core. As for Jules... for now it is not on the list... mabe somewhere down the line though... xoxo

[@edgy8481]

Got the Antaeus from Nordstroms last Saturday--amazing! I think I can wear this to the office with only one spray to the chest. I'm picking up the rose note only after a few minutes. Between this and Pour Monsieur(of which I've used half the bottle already), I'm gravitating towards this one. For now, at least!

[@Scentapede]

Great fragrance reviews, especially the Chanel's and the Exclusif line, we share many of the same fragrances.

[@SuperDacob]

Scentapede I am very happy you like them! Thank you for the positive comment! xoxo

[@Ricki_Snow]

The only thing I hate about this is not being able to see the juice through the bottle.

[@tedoneilclark4710]

It was always described by the fashion industry magazines ect as a leathery fragrance. I was surprised that you didn't mention it.

[@SuperDacob]

Because its not leathery to me… at least not in the conventional way. But also, magazines just copy and paste any text the brand marketing teams churn out. Very little to no thought whatsoever goes into the articles written by those magazines. Xoxo

[@skinnywhalelegend]

Do you like Anteaus or Egoïste more?

[@SuperDacob]

I like both for different reasons. Couldn't choose really...

[@keelyleilani1326]

Antaeus is good but definitely smells dated. It's like a cross between Kouros and Drakkar Noir to me. Egoiste on the other hand is timeless and could easily pass for a modern niche fragrance. It is very expensive smelling. I'd say Egoiste is probably my favorite fragrance ever created for men.

[@klajdceka5473]

@@keelyleilani1326 you will have many people saying otherwise

[@charleywaynehinkle6358]

do you get a makeup compact vibe from this?

[@SuperDacob]

You mean in the scent intself? If it smells like makeup?... Perhaps a little bit in the far dry-down. I can see it blend the powdery touch with the metallic vibe and those two might give off a makeup compact vibe of sorts...

[@charleywaynehinkle6358]

i covered my arm today i get the same vibe but i also get a clean animal smell with it.

[@satbirbhullar7877]

Why my atomiser is black and urs is silver. Mine is also made in France

Silver was produced before CHANEL changed it and updated it to a full on black.

You cannot wear Antaeus and casual sport clothing. Tacky.

I do not judge. Each person is free to combine what they love the way they prefer.

[@dragannatricevic6634]

[@netbatchin35]

Do you think ANTAEUS would work for a 13 year old?

[@SuperDacob]

I wore it when I was 13... but its very ntense and might not be to everyone's liking... even in its modern version softened down reformulation...

Super Dacob ok but i agree it is really intense i think it is really similar to antonio puig quorum
