Description Antidote Extrait channels a smoky honey-and-tobacco warmth that reviewers consistently place alongside Xerjoff Naxos — several call it a smoother, more wearable take on that comparison. Composed by dsm-firmenich and MG Gulcicek, it opens with nutmeg, geranium and rose leaf before a heart of honey, mimosa, sage and jasmine takes hold, then settles into a tobacco-vanilla-patchouli base that reads more intimate than showy. Scent Character Floral — 34% Smoky & Resinous — 23% Spicy — 21% Sweet — 22% Translation: a sweet, honeyed floral-oriental with a smoky-resinous undertow rather than literal agarwood — there's no oud note in the pyramid, so the warmth comes from tobacco and patchouli instead.
