Monsieur de Givenchy received notably negative feedback from the r/fragrance community. One user explicitly regretted blind-buying it and found it unpleasant, while another wore it to work with minimal commentary. The fragrance appears to be disliked by most who have sampled it.

The community has a strong positive regard for Antaeus as a legendary, distinctive fragrance with excellent longevity and a complex drydown, though it's acknowledged as a challenging, intense scent best suited for mature wearers and special occasions rather than daily wear. Most agree it's an 80s powerhouse that rewards patience and appreciation for non-mainstream fragrances, despite its polarizing animalic opening.
