Bast

8.3

ānti · 2025

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

ānti Bast is a sweet, spicy and resinous unisex scent that leans towards fall and winter evenings. Frankincense and cardamom come first; the heart holds frankincense absolute, Greek saffron and cypriol, and myrrh and amber settle underneath. The overall impression is sweet, creamy and smoky, with a woody, oriental thread running through it. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading the occasions. Both longevity and sillage are rated good. Votes for masculine and feminine sit close together, so it reads comfortably either way. Moresque Soul Batik and Profumum Roma Ambra Aurea have a close profile.

Nashi Toro

7.7

ānti · 2025

Fresh · Floral · Green

ānti Nashi Toro is a fresh, green and woody unisex scent that opens on Hinoki cypress, black pepper and Nashi pear. Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level: it neither fades quickly on the skin nor fills the room. It stays close and easy for everyday wear, and it reads equally well on anyone. The opening pairs the cool woodiness of the cypress with a light bite of pepper and the fruity freshness of the pear. In the heart, ambrette, orris butter and Somalian frankincense add a creamy, resinous softness. The base of rice bran absolute, musk, moss and soil settles into a calm, earthy finish.

Le Jardinier

8.1

ānti · 2025

Fresh · Floral · Green

ānti Le Jardinier is a fresh, green unisex fragrance that opens on grass and lentisk and settles into a floral heart of honeysuckle, magnolia and lily. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are only a rough guide. It is unisex and does not lean towards one gender. The opening of grass and lentisk feels cool and green. In the heart, honeysuckle, magnolia and lily bring a soft floral side. In the base, nettle absolute and galbanum keep the green line going, so the scent stays fresh and garden-like from start to finish.

Rosa Antiqua

7.0

ānti · 2025

Fresh · Floral · Green

ānti Rosa Antiqua is a fresh, green floral that balances fruity sweetness against a woody base, and it is unisex in character. Longevity is good and sillage moderate, though the low number of votes means those figures should be read with caution. No clear season or occasion stands out, so it suits quiet everyday wear close to the skin. It opens with blackcurrant, which brings the fruity, sweet side forward. The heart pairs Damask rose absolute with cashmeran, the rose softened by the fresh and green accords. Olive oil and birch in the base leave a woody finish. Miller Harris Rose Silence and Jo Malone Wild Fig & Cassis have a close profile.

Antinoüs

6.5

ānti · 2025

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

ānti Antinoüs is a unisex scent that opens fresh and green, then deepens into spicy, earthy wood. The top holds common sage and clary sage, the heart cumin, white pepper and salty skin. The aquatic, green side doesn't overpower that spicy heart; it sits alongside it. In the base, vetiver, wheat absolute and sandalwood settle the scent onto a powdery, creamy, woody ground. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though only a small number of votes stand behind those ratings. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and wears easily on anyone. Aēsop Karst and Hendley Perfumes Untitled have a close profile.

Dukes Carpet

7.7

ānti · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity

Dukes Carpet is rated moderate for both strength and longevity, though the small number of votes means these ratings are still tentative. It is written for men and women alike, without a gendered lean. The top is citrus and spice: cardamom, lemon, ginger and cedar leaf give it a fresh start. In the heart, gin, juniper and red berries add a fruity, lightly sweet note. The base of cedarwood and aged wood settles into a creamy woodiness. Chanel Allure Homme Édition Blanche and Xerjoff P.33 have a close profile.
