Antigua, from Phaedon was released in 2013. The perfumer behind this creation is Pierre Guillaume. It has the top notes of Apricot, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Guava, and Lime, middle notes of Fig Leaf, Peach, and Rose, and base notes of Musk, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
Bergamot and Guava bursting forth from this juice what a tropical opening. I greatly anticipated this fragrance and it hasn't disappointed one bit. An exotic cocktail, Antigua feels like wearing bermuda shorts and the loudest hawaiian shirt complete with a lei around your neck! As such may not be to everyones taste but this just screams me all over and a recent addition to my collection was an oud perfume with a guava top note and that is incredible. Patchouli, vetiver and a musky base... simple really. As perfect for summer as something like Creed's Virgin Island Water but with better longevity & projection also crucially, much better value for money. I love Antigua and as I suspected Phaedon is turning out to be a real quality house offering awesome fragrances at competitive prices.
