Antidote by Viktor&Rolf was launched in 2006 and created by perfumers Alienor Massenet and Pierre Wargnye. This composition is a harmonious blend of warm spices and aromatic woods, with a bold opening of Guatemalan cardamom that cuts through the brightness of citrus notes like bergamot and grapefruit. The heart evolves into a rich blend of lavender, jasmine, and orange blossom, while the base offers deep warmth from sandalwood, leather, and vanilla. Antidote is not just a fragrance but a sensorial journey that balances freshness with depth, making it a modern classic.

Application Tips
Antidote has a strong presence from the start but evolves over time. Apply two sprays to your pulse points in the morning for a full day of warmth and complexity. The leather and musk notes are best appreciated close to skin, so opt for lighter layers if you prefer a more subtle projection.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intensity of an apothecary's cabinet, where the air is thick with the scent of freshly ground cardamom and the promise of healing.
