The review
Counterattack scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Antidote.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Antidote's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $78 per 100ml it costs 45% less than Antidote — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Viktor&Rolf Antidote is cardamom, coriander and bergamot at first, cinnamon, nutmeg and violet at its heart and sandalwood, amber and musk at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
