by Viktor&Rolf
Antidote by Viktor&Rolf is a highly complex, layered fragrance that evolves subtly over time, making it a polarizing yet deeply admired scent. It opens with a crisp burst of citrus, mint, and cardamom, offering a fresh, green quality that quickly softens into a warm, powdery floral heart dominated by lavender, jasmine, and violet. The dry down anchors the scent with rich, lingering notes of vanilla, ambers, sandalwood, and incense, creating a mysterious, slightly smoky aura. While some find it overly sweet or synthetic, many praise its refined elegance, sophistication, and ability to transform with mood and temperature. The scent is best suited for cooler seasons, formal settings, or nights when a bold, charismatic statement is desired. Longevity is moderate to excellent, with projections ranging from moderate to strong depending on application and skin chemistry.
