(#175830390997)-i_love_fast_cars (235) ✅WHY PURCHASE THROUGH GUARDIAN OF THE FRAGRANCES & NOT OTHER VINTAGE VENDORS…✓ Gold standard serviceHighly praised vintage fragrance vendor & longtime eBay member since 2004! Over 20 years of reliable gold standard service with satisfied customers leaving literal paragraphs on their positive feedback ratings. Your positive experience with me comes before the profit I make in my shop - & my enthusiastic service & money back guarantee surely reflects that. There's a deep sense of accomplishment that comes with being of purpose for your community. Allow me the opportunity to provide this to you & be your lifelong fragrance vendor.✓ FREE extra goodies with purchaseOther sellers send you the item you paid for with a sad invoice slip - feels so cold & impersonal. I go beyond that with sending you a goodie bag with purchase to make your fragrance investment more worthwhile. YOU even chose the goodies! Extra fragrance of your choice will come in a 5 ml. travel vial, with a handwritten thank you note for supporting my shop. All items in my shop are accurately & fairly priced to reflect the value of the vintage fragrance. Special goodie bag/bonus gift are never factored into the pricing. It's truly a thank you gift.✓ One-category shopI’m not selling a mess of random various thrift items that I know nothing about. At Guardianofthefragrances; you are shopping at a niche market that specializes solely on discontinued perfumery formulations. ‘One category shops’ like mine provide customers with a unique shopping experience that is backed with knowledge & experience within that category as well as shows I have a deep passion in what I am selling. Buying from fine-tuned one category shops like mine makes all the difference in a rewarding shopping experience. That seller who has listed some sneakers, baseball cards, hoodies, & that cologne you want - he may know its authentic & well preserved, OR he may not. ✓ Counterfeit Investigation processWith over a decade of professional Revenue Protection expertise investigating fraud & theft for my state of WI utility provider; all vintage fragrances in my shop are expertly ran through a process of deep research which involves but is not limited to; batch runs, bottle dating, differentiating formula differences, production quirk studies, bottle & cap weighing, taking atomizer off to investigate inner hardware, fragrance strength & quality testing - how long it lasts on skin and the quality of that experience, ect. Anything that falls into my hands that doesn't pass this process never reaches my shop.✓ Quality appraisal processI am college board certified in the state of WI in Sales & Design with over 20+ years of professional practice in appraising personal property & merchandise. At guardianofthefragrances; rest assured I am expertly skilled in determining whether your vintage formula has been well preserved by previous handlers. I find the counterfeit investigation process & quality appraisal the most 2 important things in my shop to gain customer trust & I am on a mission to not let you down.✓ Mutual perfumery hobbyist & collectorMost importantly, I myself am a vintage fragrance hobbyist & collector. In fact, many listings come from my own personal collection after years of collecting back-up bottles as a hobby. As a hobbyist myself, I know exactly what my shoppers are looking for & what is sorely lacking in this sector. Studying & shopping for rare fragrances for my own collection has taught me the majority of the population are NOT experts in fragrances. Its a language many don't speak like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. In fact; the fragrance industry is the only billion dollar industry where the customer knows the least about what they are buying. Just that it 'smells good'. You even go on a forum discussion with hobbyist's & there's more questions than answers. This phenomenon is truly astonishing to me - as I am a personality type that demands answers. At guardianofthefragrances - I have those answers for you. It’s a passion of mine to go above and beyond the ‘indifferent’ lazy fragrance knowledge on vlogger videos & forums to give you real common-sense truths that Designer houses & retails hold back from us. In fact it was poor aloof information provided to the public about fragrances that gave me the drive to launch my business in the first place.Why should you spend SO much on a fragrance?(I know you are asking yourself this if you are new to all this). ✅UNLOCKS STORED MEMORIES IN THE BRAINS HIPPOCAMPUSFragrances have an olfactory fingerprint. The brain is so intelligently designed - that it stores a fragrance DNA's composition precisely to the very last ingredient used at that time. Try to smell a modern formula and see what happens - it's almost as if your brain gets confused, offended, and low key upset. Only that special formula composed 10-20-30-40 years ago is the key to unlock vivid feelings of nostalgia. ✅BETTER QUALITY, INGREDIENTS, PERFORMANCE, & ARTISTRYMade in times prior to cancel culture regulations, production politics, corporate greed, & making man made chemicals for profit; you get the authentic formula(s) the perfumery artist(s) intended from that time resulting in more naturals, less synthetic/cheap aroma chemical alternatives, richer compositions, bolder presence, more layers/less linear, and made in times where smoking was indoors- you get NUCLEAR performance.✅SMELL BETTER AND OR HIGHER QUALITY THEN OTHER MEN AROUND YOU.In a mass society unaware of vintage fragrances - you will absolutely without a doubt outshine whatever they are wearing. Gain respect, stand out, be the most attractive smelling in the room. In general this is what makes the male gender so enthralled with colognes but vintage amplifies this to the next level. Stop endless YouTube searches seeing if something modern performs - just buy vintage.✅INVEST MORE TO OVERALL SPEND LESSVintage fragrances are stronger and need less sprays due to concentration; 72% vol of alcohol (28% oils) in 1995 vs. 88% vol of alcohol (12% oils) in 2023. It's not a coincidence they are removing vol %'s on colognes nowadays - they don't want us to know how weakened they are. Many collectors go niche and get into strange off-putting DNAs not realizing they can simply go designer vintage. Beautiful mass pleasing DNA's in the best quality and strength possible. The best way to go forward in perfumery is to go backwards.If you buy a vintage- You will realize a bottle that would have lasted you a year is now lasting you over 2+ years. Think about it- you are going from essentially a modern day 'body spray' (Modern edt) to a powerful parfum strength niche like juice. Once you go vintage it's illogical to go back.✅VINTAGE FRAGRANCES ARE AN INVESTMENT THAT *INCREASE* IN VALUEBecause of the mass, devoted, & awakening population of the vintage fragrance community; vintage fragrances are a collectible commodity matching similar value in precious paintings, antiques, jewelry, gemstones, diamonds, and gold! Unlike most things you 'drive' off the lot; this fragrance will likely be MORE in 2-5-10-15 years. This is my favorite part about being a collector; my purchase investments lack buyers remorse on as I am buying an investment for the future/ and or discreet savings to liquidate as needed. It's as easy to trade fragrances for cash as it is to liquidate your cash for gold.✅OVERALL BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN VINTAGE PERFUMERY AND AVOIDING MODERN FORMULAS ✓ Confidence booster ✓ Smell unlike anyone else & one of a kind ✓ Vividly triggers locked memories ✓ Spiritual enhancements ✓ Concentrated Aromatherapy ✓ Makes you more attractive ✓ Greater impressions ✓ Hidden equity – the modern ‘bars of gold’ ✓ Describe your personality better ✓ Impress other people more ✓ Positive moods further enhanced ✓ Supporting the artistry and original vision of the DNA ✓ Better connection to nature experiencing naturals (Reformulation talk...) Unfortunately, In a modern era's effort to make the small allergen pool of the population safe for the bigger masses (essentially a 'Safe than sorry' approach for everyone);Harsh fragrance regulations came into effect within the last 20 years in the EU (United Nations) where nearly all fragrances are still composed. The SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety), IFRA (International Fragrance Association) & the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency) banded together to axe many precious naturals, and unique aroma chemicals in perfumery that have irritants to a small pool of the population. To this day every year it seems another ingredient is banned as these chemical giants are auditing Chemistry materials on what seems like an unnecessary 'Woke movement' cancel parade. To play nice and to still get credibility for selling 'Safe' fragrances; all Designer perfumery houses have played with these giants to get full EU support of their product(s). Between 2010-2022;The EU has now banned over 2,000 chemicals in the body, skin, hair, & fragrance industry.This massive chemical ban in body products is more than any other world region in history!In comparison, the United States has banned only 17 ingredients from body products made in the USA.Unfortunately for fragrance enthusiasts, a VERY small percentage of designers make their fragrances in America.By 2030; the EEB (European Environmental Bureau) anticipates over 5,000-7,000 ingredients to be banned in total. Rules, reformulations, synthetic ingredients, cost-cutting, & keeping up with modern scent trends have altered, & reduced the performance of many popular favorites from the past. This is not a theory or paranoia, this is becoming more evident & informative in the fragrance community since the rise of fragrance communities and fragrance Vloggers. Since this rise; vintage formulas are hunted and highly sought after by hobby-ists. Many are so used to newer compositions they have no idea what they are missing.vintage EDT formulas are well known to perform more like intense concentrated essential oil strength NICHE EDP's.Newer formulations of the modern age are said to perform like a end body spray with average performance but no character development. DET Vs. DPG:A chemist in Germany did a gas chromatogram composition breakdown on a vintage & modern day version. It was found that companies used to use a solvent Diethyl Phthalate (DET) on vintage versions which was known to have a stronger bonding fixative effect on the skin. Modern day fragrances are replaced with Dipropylene Glycol (DPG).DPG is commonly used in lightly fragranced shampoos and DET is in home candles. Candle companies don't use DPG as the fragrance would immediately leave the base. Makes you think. The death of Oakmoss:By far one of the most controversial and damaging IFRA regulations was the ban/limitations in natural Oakmoss. This popular ingredient is in near every legendary cologne; Davidoff Cool Water (Also reformulated), Aqua Di Gio (Also reformulated) Versace Eros (Also reformulated). Many are filled with weaker synthetics. Since Oakmoss rests in the base and has fixative effects fragrances also don't perform as well without it. 2022 Lilial ban:And if you thought your top / mid notes were safe. You're wrong. In 2021 The Scientific committee on consumer safety (SCCS) & the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) banned the note of lilial due to its reaction to sensitive skin (That's it?). They simply stated "It can sometimes act as an allergen." SOMETIMES? Lilial was a common note in modern perfumery. Lilial being a synthetic aromatic soapy aldehyde; it gave the self titled signature Versace Pour Homme it's sweet yet refreshing intense floral green odor.I don't understand this obsession with making sure the skin doesn't react to materials. Practically every face mask on the market 'Reacts' to your skin and in the long run - improves it's appearance. Doesn't skin strength train like muscles do? Fragrance shelf life scam:Reformulations are one thing, it's something that just can't be avoided. One of the biggest gaslighting scams on the otherhand that can easily be avoided is the myth fragrances naturally 'Expire/go bad' due to time alone.Fragrances are not your local produce guys, they are a balanced chemist composition of naturals and fragrant chemical aromas full of preservatives. If that alone wasn't enough; that recipe is then preserved in a percentage average of 80% ALCOHOL. resulting in 'maybe' 10% natural ingredients to think 10% natural ingredients are up against and a threat against 90% chemical aromas, preservatives, and alcohol is a HUGE stretch. Alcohol based fragrances should be compared to 50-100 year old bottles of preserved and cherished wine. Like wine, fragrances in fact get better with age from the process of maceration; when naturals soak in chemicals for extended periods of time making the juice richer and full of character. Fragrances are not fresh hand made cosmetics with no preservatives - quite the opposite. Fragrances were even recovered from the 1912 Titanic wreck with no sign of expiring.A perfumer perished in the wreck resulting in a sachet left behind on the BOTTOM of the ocean for over 100 years. This sachet contained mini corked bottles of fragrant oils and perfumery. In an artifact examination room upon recovery, amongst the death, muck, tragedy, and solemn sorrow of decomposing materials the perfumery was opened up and by surprise brought the room to LIFE again, aromas of beautiful fruits, florals, resins, and woods sourced from so long ago. The experience was so powerful to the scientist- it made a grown man cry. Fragrances can be mishandled, left in sunlight, heat, and other neglectful extremes...but most certainly don't go bad from just the passing of time.I guess any myth works for these fragrance industries that want you coming in to buy their 'fresh' bottles. The modern day scent:I say all that to say; modern day fragrances as a whole - are complete and utter trash...whether that be a brand new composed scent or a reformulation of a classic. The modern recipe:Fake citrusy candy-like tops to lock you in, aromatic-mids to give you masculinity and bare minimal classic nostalgia, then a base gob-smacked with scratchy ambroxan / synthetic molecules completed with nauseating sweetness to ultimately gaslight you so don't notice how 'fake' the entire composition smells. It's truly depressing what they release nowadays.You might as well wear your household cleaner. fortunately, In every generation......A guardian is born.A guardian to make the world a better place.Now, our memories are under siege.You may wonder..."What is happening to my cologne, and why?""Is it all in my head?"...It's not. Designer brands are gaslighting you.Retail associates are lying to you.They don't want you to know about me...the Guardian of the Fragrances.Vintage formulas taking asylum and preserved under my guardianship.The awakening is growing, don't be left out.Be a part of the fragrance safehouse and house a bottled refugee today. (All about CHANEL ANTAEUS) Wardrobe category is!; CEO of the company, in BOSS mode tux attire at the annual holiday cotillion. Up for buy it now is the nostalgic vintage CHANEL Antaeus cologne. The mystique of this 42 year old fragrance still mystifies the fragrance community. The nostalgia it brings to many is just one of those classic masculine fragrances that will never be forgotten. History was made in the early 80's with what is known as one of the most masculine colognes ever created.After owning, testing, and selling 300+ fragrances - even I was taken back by the unapologetic masculinity & intensity of this dark polarizing DNA. Nothing on the shelves today compares to the vintage formulations; no flankers, inspired scents, or even the modern day version compares. This has without a doubt have to be the KING of the masculine DNA'S. It's not just A powerhouse; it is THE powerhouse. Launch year:1981 Perfumer:Jacques Polge(Other notable works; Chanel Allure Homme 1999, Allure Homme Sport, Allure Homme Edition Blanche, Bleu De Chanel 2010, Egoiste 1990, YSL Rive Gauche 1970, Tiffany for men 1989) Fragrance inspiration:In Greek mythology; Antaeus was the name of an invincible half-giant & the son of Poseidon & Gaia. Bottle Designer: Jacques Helleu Scent style: Dark floral animalic Color family / chakra:Auburn black / Root chakra(Grounded & secure connection to the physical 'Earth plane'). Mood/Season/Time/Occasion: Dark, polarizing, romantic, playful /cold weather/ all day, night-time/ signature elegant gentleman's scent Key buzz words:Elegant, night time, casual,Unisex, upper crust, wealthy, aristocratic, daring, experimental, darker, niche. Note breakdown:Top: Myrrh, clary sage, coriander, bergamot, lime, Amalfi lemonMid: Rose, thyme, basil, jasmineBase: Castoreum (leathery musk), oakmoss, patchouli, French labdanum *Guardian nose critique: This is a unique one. I'm not sure if I've smelled anything else that does what this does.Dusty dark rose oil, modestly sweet myrrh resins, gothic earthy mosses, and a leathery musky castoreum. Not any citrus to my nose. Not fresh & aromatic. Goes into a dense Chypre direction with unique facets. Very polarizing, gothic, powerful, wise, and elegant. Everlasting resins and musk. Absolute and utter next level niche vintage Chanel quality. It's so lifelike to my senses that it's like it's 3D. My artistic vision is seeing a man wearing a tuxedo at midnight placing a single thorny rose on his wife's gravestone. Beautifully spooky, emotional, and elegant.Bravo Chanel!*(I've been told I have a talented nose, artistic vision, critical mind, & articulate verbal delivery. I have included this personal critique in the factual section due to the confidence in my skills to verbalize the olfactory world.Before I present an argument - I value structure & evidence - resulting in a gold standard of perfumery journalism.Please note: the formula, your personal experiences, memory, and taste may contradict my critique). (SPECIFIC LISTING DETAILS - WHAT YOU ARE BUYING) THE TRUTH ABOUT BATCH RUN WEBSITES - THEY GAS LIGHT YOU:Vintage fragrances are well known to give errors on batch code sites to place the year. Vintage batch codes are either missing, will commonly not work on batch check websites, OR repeat every 8-10 years and mislabel the timeline. (In Chanel's case; their batch codes repeat every 8 years. Unique to the typical 10 year batch timeline.)As a counterfeit investigator & quality appraiser for 10 years in my career of Revenue Protection; these quirks are what drew me to research bottles by means bottle features, distributer history, zip codes, juice color, overall label information, and lastly the scent itself for accurate transparency - at least far more accurate than a shifty batch site. For this listing,I can place this as early as early as 1984 & as late as 1992 (and no later) due to the 8 YEAR repeating 0511 batch code, silver cap, silver atomizer, bottle details, box and history of Chanel production. From experience I'm fairly certain this is 90's vs. 80's due to no alc % mentioned on the bottle nor New York mentioned on the front - however seeing as its a bottle with different production quirks and Chanel had some limited New York releases - this could very well be an early 80's.This is CHANEL and over 2 decades prior to IFRA bans - so tbh - shouldn't matter to the nose! But please be weary of my personal non-conclusion about its exact year (this is rare for me!).Rest assured I AM confident on its era and that this is no later than 1992. Send me an email if you have more questions about my dating process. Tested one spray on my wrist for testing purposes.This juice is rich and beastly! Smells & performs like it should.That myrrh & gritty dark musk just simmers on your skin for 10-12-24-48+ hours. This is CHANEL anything vintage from this brand is basically Niche when its NEW - now throw 32 years macerating during pre IFRA regulations and you have next level perfumery. This 32 year old bottle is in excellent like new condition.No dent in the fill line- backlit tested - filled to the brim!Not listing as mint as there are brush marks against the plastic cap from being inside tester box for 3 decades- otherwise mint. Working vintage sprayer, no leakage. Cap snaps into place. Please note:-100 ml. bottle is a public review release, full, and tested once for quality assurance.-Deep vintage Antaeus bottle is exceptional from the box but has not properly macerated as I was the first to spray it and introduce air - expect this to get richer and deeper with time.-Bottle includes a batch code on the box, and matching code inside the neck under the atomizer - '05' '11'. Demonstration bottles hid the batch code for some reason.-Chanel batch codes repeat every 8 years - bottle details, and scent places this as late as early as 1984 & as late as 1992 and no later.-Box does not include cellophane. Just holding this observing it you can feel its vintage charm.Bottle looks as if it just left the factory in 1992 so it is a time capsule from 32 years ago.Great collector's piece! This historic vintage formula is a long-lasting investment in your personal grooming arsenal, ensuring that you'll always be prepared to make a lasting impression.

About me: My name is Nathan, I'm a mid-western Wisconsinite living in downtown Milwaukee. In the Midwest comes all four seasons in their highest concentrations; from Arctic temps in to heat-waves. These extremes have helped me properly test & explore a range of fragrance DNA's. I have been a 'frag-head' my entire life; from 'Mr. Sketch' 12- pack scented markers as a child, Bath & Body products in my teens, & discovering LUSH handmade body products in my 20's. Now in my 30's; I Collect fragrance formulas from all houses & timelines to master my olfactive memory. I have a particular passion for vintage designer fragrances due to their ability to remember our past. They are time capsules; from societal pop culture to the memories of our relatives; vintage designer fragrances are the closest humanity has came to immortality. Designer are not only more mass pleasing in general. In a world so based in science- can't think of anything more magical. Along with this touch of magic- comes what I like to call 'pseudo-science' perfumery; the opposite of magic and time travel. There is nothing more disheartening than when our magic potions get distorted and reformulated with cheap alternatives & synthetics. This distorts our scent memory and leaves us confused and questioning our memories. It's fascinating to me how the IFRA (International fragrance association) is allowed to influence fragrance houses to alter their compositions yet governments & administrations allow tobacco products and junk food to be sold to the public and slowly kill us. What is even more shocking; these fragrance houses and companies not only 'obeying' these IFRA recommendations, but they are training their retail sales floors & Customer service phone reps to downright lie about such changes and misinform the public and gaslight you. This is UNACEPTABLE! As a private investigator in Revenue Protection for over 10 years; I efficiently investigate/ validate facts, debunk fraud and confirm authenticity of the incoming product. I use this while searching and validating vintage fragrances! These scattered lost remains are a calling to me- something to rescue, revive, and guard which is where I self discovered the 'Fragrance Guardian' name. Perfumers are artists and their compositions are works of art in their true original forms. I feel its my legacy to not only inform the fragrance community about such formulations; but keep them alive and well by providing them to the retail market & sell them to appreciative homes. I feel my unique combination of my sales degree from the state of Wisconsin (class of 2010), 10 years of investigative experience in Revenue Protection, and a deep passion of fragrances give me an efficient, special, & trusted service in the fragrance vendor market. As your fragrance guardian- I give your memories eternal youth. "Buy this vintage fragrance; and your memories will never grow even one day older. Don't buy it, and continue to watch the past fade. Siempre viva - Live forever!" (KEY BULLET DISCLAIMERS) •I am NOT an authorized dealer by the brand, I am a private fragrance vendor and eBay seller for over 20 years selling fragrances as a hobby and personal passion. I am your 1 and only seller with guardianofthefragrances. •All listings are tested, authentic, properly stored, well preserved, & suited to personal taste/ memory. •Being a vintage based fragrance shop; all vintage listings are in 'as-is' condition with possible quirks such as used fills, no original boxes, bottle blemishes, ect. All these features are charming features of collecting vintage bottles. I do NOT sell bottles with severely damaged foundations such as cracked glass or broken atomizers. Rest assured your item should work upon delivery and last until its empty. •I do NOT sell fake, 'sour', or poorly cared for fragrances, nor do I buy my stock from shifty sources such as the Russian Federation. I am a collector with keen smarts and would never make such rookie mistakes in my own personal collection nor in my passionately run business. •I have been a revenue protection investigator at my main job for over a decade; everything in my shop is inspected and tested to determine authenticity, preservation, and era of manufacture. Your final satisfaction is the ending goal while listing these fragrances. Not to make a quick buck. Anything questionable after my inspection doesn't make the cut. •The POA (Period after opening) symbol is simply a suggestion that went into effect in 2005. Fragrances last for decades with proper storage and care. •Due to some fragrances containing more than one vintage formula & recent IFRA regulations dramatically altering modern fragrances, fragrance formulas from my shop may not match your exact memory. Properly educating yourself is a part of this fragrance hobby, jumping to accusations of my wrong doing just delays reuniting with your beloved formula desired. •Your item WILL be video packaged at my post office - from showing what's being shipped to then taken into the hands of USPS without filming cuts - I will have video proof of what I mailed to you. No funny business or return scams. •For your protection from package theft/loss, ALL fragrances from my shop purchased within the USA will require a signature upon delivery with USPS. This is not a purchased errand, this is good revenue protection paid for from my OWN pocket. If waiting at home to sign for your package is an inconvenience, you may schedule ahead to pickup the item from your local post office or arrange a digital signature online with USPS. See your local USPS location or visit the website for further info regarding signatures. •International VAT taxes may or may NOT be automatically added to your final check out at my shop. This all depends on the country. If VAT taxes are not on your checkout order, then they will likely be billed within your local customs agency and will require you to pay it before they deliver your item to you. These are all 3rd party fees I do not collect on and are outside my control, please contact your local customs within your country for further info. (End of listing).
