Antidoto Reattivo

Antidoto was released in 2014 and its name means, in English, "Antidote". I believe that many of you already knew this for obvious reasons. On the bottle, however, there is a word (in parentheses) that says: reattivo, from Italian language. The translation means reactive, which in pharmacology would be the process of determining a reaction-causing element. It has everything to do with the creative concept of the company and tries to personify a powerful antidote against the poisoning of the individual Daimon (divinity). For that, it was built with notes of Sicilian lemon, grapefruit, yellow mandarin, petitgrain of Paraguay, hedione (a synthetic compound that gives a luminous and floral scent - like jasmine under the sun), thistle flower and cardamom. The body of the fragrance was built with notes of mate and green accord, while the base has notes of rum and musk. On the skin, Antidoto reveals itself as a floral-green perfume full of musky nuances, of those that we usually say that resemble clothes softener. The output is slightly citric, but nothing too acidic, as many may think while reading the olfactory pyramid. Basically, we have a mix of mandarin and hedione. The nuance of mate is delicious but very ephemeral. It could last longer! From the base, the rum imparts a slightly aromatic and warm tone, but it is the musk that stands out, no doubt. Antidoto is a unisex perfume, with excellent projection and high durability. By the way, taking into consideration the style of the fragrance, the result on my skin is surprising: more than 10 hours with just one spray at each specific spot. It is proof that a synthetic compound also has its value in perfumery. Since we speak about reactive formula, it is worth saying that the skin reacts very well to the fragrance (pun intended).

Antidoto is a really nice and light citrus that smells great on the hottest summer day. The mate' tea note in the mid and rum in this fragrance make it really special. I can see why this doesn't have many reviews. The bottle looks cheap, the sprayer is subpar, although the juice can be worn on the warmest summer day. Definitely one of the best citrus fragrances, but you will never hear of it due to poor marketing and a bottle that does not resemble the beautiful fragrance inside.

Starts off with bright lemon and grapefruit and a shot of green. Minutes later, the green recedes somewhat on my skin, and the citrus is sweetened by the jasmine-like hedione, and softened by the clean musk and the petitgrain. I don't detect the rum as a distinct note, but suspect that it is part of the sweetened aspect in the drydown. A light, clean, quiet, and easy fragrance to wear, especially in the heat of summer.

it's very light. not in that 'no sillage' or 'no staying power', it's quite a light scent. i mean, me personally, i use perfume to either be noticed or because it smells like nothing else. this perfume has an 'incidental' smell to it. like deoderant. or hand cream. or washing. it smells like something that you don't expect to have a smell. it's gentle, delicate and kinda forgettable. look, it smells nice, just not perfumey...

A HUGE lemon splash as of the top note but fades in seconds and the petitgrain raises up high with greeny dew but the citrus blends are there but sits as the background. No trace of cardamom, musc, and rum. the mate might be there to dirtify the scene although it's a very fresh clean blend. Well... i guess i need to give it time cause i kind of liked the blend in a weirdly way.

It’s interesting to me that this comes from an Italian house. Because of the spices used in this particular fragrance reminds me of something I’ve encountered in Spain. What a rather interesting fragrance... Worth sampling.
