Antidote, from the Dutch house Viktor&Rolf, is a masculine fragrance composed by Pierre Wargnye and Alienor Massenet and released in 2006. Flowers lead, with a strong woody side and spice and citrus each about half as strong.

Mandarin and mint give a bright, fresh opening, with Guatemalan cardamom adding a cool spice. The heart is floral and spiced: violet and lavender soft and clean, cinnamon warm. The base is rich, with iris and incense giving a powdery, smoky elegance, tonka bean a creamy sweetness, and leather a supple, smoky depth that anchors the composition.

Most wearers report that it lasts long, and about half find its projection moderate. It is voted mainly for winter and autumn, worn by day and at night almost equally. That suggests cold-weather office days and evenings, for someone who likes powdery, spiced florals in a masculine style.

Antidote — for men fragrance by Viktor&Rolf (released 2006). Top notes: Guatemalan Cardamom, Mint, Grapefruit, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot.

Base notes: Incense, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Amber, Leather, Iris, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Guaiac Wood, Cedar, White Musk, Oakmoss. — Parfica open fragrance database
