Royal English Leather לעומת Antaeus

Royal English Leather receives mixed reviews from the community, with limited recent experiences shared. While it successfully evokes a refined British character with a gentle, somewhat floral leather profile on the dry-down, some find the opening off-putting and feel it's a softer interpretation of leather compared to more robust alternatives like Tuscan Leather or Memo's leather collection.

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.
