I just received my order this morning and it couldn’t be a more perfect cold rainy dark day to wear this delightful piece of art, so green, so creamy so healing and uplifting.
As i close my eyes and sniff I imagine myself sitting in a beautiful damp forest on an overcast day sitting on a fallen tree stump with mushrooms and moss growing on it, eating a warm custard desert lol.
I sprayed it on at 12pm and now its around 4:44 and it still smells great on my skin, im not one to have a signature scent but this could be it.

I wonder if I’m just not the target audience for John Biebel’s perfumes. Eiderantler, in particular, excited me from its description. And the juice color made me feel like I was in for a cool blast of fir, camphorous lavender, and green leaves. But what I get is powdery, soft, and smooth. Not forest by any means, but something more comfortable, more domestic. It’s a bit of a dusty fougère—slightly soapy, just a little pepper—but leans much more feminine than you’d expect.
As has been with each of these first four offerings from JSP (Smolderose, Vaporocindro, and Selperniku included), I get the vibe of a middle-aged woman—and not quite an elegant, Bergdorf-shopping, Upper East Side type, but rather your aunt in Maine who’s a ceramicist and picks this up and says “wow, this is different!” Because they really are interesting, but I just can’t personally click with them. They’re almost too friendly, too affable, and I keep looking for some sort of deeper edge.
I’m still very interested in what JSP offers next—I think each one of the perfumes so far has a unique perspective and is very well-made. I’m going to keep sniffing them from time to time to see if my opinion changes, but after a few tries of Eiderantler, I’m not quite sold. (6/10)

Eiderantler (love the name) is mostly a lavender fragrance on my skin. Unfortunately it seems to contain sweet vanilla and a kind of musk which I don’t really like. Thus it is not my kind of fragrance. However, try it out for yourself.

Sometimes you can tell the difference in which the perfumer is rushed to finish a project vs. taking his time to create something 100% unique and invigorating. This falls into the latter category. This is by no mistake a green scent but it has subtle nuances in which puts it in a different category. It has that spring forest element that captures most wearers but dries down with aspects of vetiver,elemi and pepper with a slightly boozy touch from the oak. It’s a green/woody/resinous delight that should have gotten more hype than it did. It is very wearable and not strange in which most niche houses fail to due. From my first sampling I got above average sillage and longevity. Priced at $125 for 100 ml is a better deal than Kerosene, Imaginary Authors and more noticeable US Indie/Niche houses.

Unique forest magic! Springs from pure perfume imagination and creativity. The balsam fir is very similar to the one used in Baccarat Rouge 540 – a sweet candied resin that weeps from the stems, as opposed to the sap. Combining it with other forest elements like moss and ivy brings out facets of green enchantment. Lavender and elemi are soft touches that add to the brightness. Eiderantler is a spring green, fresh aroma that reminds me of mossy glades dappled with mote filled sunlight. The realm of dryads and nymphs!

A wonderful perfume which reminds me of one of my favorite house Caron! Thanks John for creating such a wonderful perfume!

I really adore this fragrance. I got samples of the original three JSP fragrances plus the Smolderose oil back when it was ridiculously inexpensive to do so and Eiderantler has definitely become by favorite. Initially it just seemed like a fresher, lavender-based version of a fragrance I already had. Upon more wears and wearing it in springtime instead of winter weather, I fell in love.
This, to me, is spring in a bottle. It lasts well without being too loud or too quiet for my tastes. The main four notes I get are elemi, lavender, fir, and a less specific green.

Sparkling, light hearted, friendly, and fun. With just the right amount of vetiver and oakmoss to give it strength and resoluteness. A great balance of modern freshness and old school beefiness.

How have I not reviewed this yet? It is my newest love and I’ve been wearing a lot of it since I broke my arm and needed some comfy healing lavender.
When I ordered the January scent sampler I didn’t really have high hopes for this one. I figured fougere would mean muddy blend of fragrances that screams masculinity. That is not this scent. This scent is lavender brightened by hay and made creamy by elemi resting upon greens like ivy and pine. There are scents that are difficult to identify but nothing that could be described as muddy or perfumey.
This gets complements and has some silliage. It is wonderful.

This fragrance turned out to be a big surprise to me. When I received the material from January Scent Project and read the descriptions in the attached cards, I confess that I was worried about the “Ivy Fougère” classification given by the creator. Particularly, I like good fougères, especially those with the 80’s style. However, judging by the green color of the juice and the description, I thought it could be something I had already felt at some point in the past. To my surprise, Eiderantler proved to be extremely modern, as well as being the most versatile among the three Eaux de Parfum launched by the house.
It has notes of lavender, green leaves, moss, pink pepper, lavandin, champa leaf, ivy, elemi resin, fir, hay, oak wood, cashmere, vetiver and musk. So you, who are reading this review, might be imagining various combinations and nuances and I understand you perfectly. After all, a fragrance that has notes of fir, ivy and hay should be at least different.
Eiderantler is really different, but not as curious and potent as Selperniku, neither beautiful and smoky as Smolderose. It is green and sweet at the same time it is soft and woody. When sprayed on the skin, it has a strong lavender output, as if the lavender was not yet ready to be harvested. Then, floral nuances begin to appear in an aromatic and balsamic heart. Champa (or champaca) is a rarer type of magnolia with a stronger perfume. Its absolute has being explored by some perfumery houses. On my skin, it was the most ephemeral part of evolution, as if the perfume jumped from the top notes to the base notes. And this base is silky and slightly woody. On my skin, the highlight is the smell that results from the blend of the musk with the cashmeran, which gives a special touch of softness.
Eiderantler is a fougère that escapes from standards, because it does not bring bergamot, always explored. Here, the perfumer preferred to highlight the lavender and the moss in a green-colored perfume that behaves like one of those with amber color. At the same time that I consider it the most versatile of the three, it was the one that presented the lower projection. However, like everything that is comfortable, Eiderantler is the one that makes you want to continue wearing it all the time.

goes on slight citrus, herbal and massive vetiver; as it dries down, you get this ambery champaca and elemi with a musky animalic note. Very interesting. In the final drydown it is amber amber amber.

I’ll need to wear this again. My first impression is that there is some green here, but not nearly as much as the impression this green juice, the listed notes, and it’s medieval forest name would indicate. There’s a scent that reminds me of a hand lotion my mom used to wear. It makes me feel like this frag has a bit more of a feminine vibe than I tend to care for, BUT…as I mentioned, I need to wear it for another day to get a really good feel for it. The notes I could identify in my first wear were some lavender, cashmeran, some vetiver, and musk. I really love the presentation on this one, and want to love the fragrance as well, but it’s been slow to grow on me so far. In the immortal words of Bruce Dickinson, this fragrance needs more Fir Cone…A LOT MORE Fir Cone…or is it cowbell?

Absolutely gorgeous! I ordered a sample set based on a review of Smolderose I read, and from the listed notes I thought that would be the one I liked the most in the set. Smolderose is good, but Eiderantler is simply stunning. I’m not normally a lavender lover, but in this the lavender is summery and fresh. The spice note isn’t a sharp or bitter note, it adds a gentle warmth. It’s a natural outdoorsy scent. I hate to use the term ‘mossy’ as that has connotations of damp and dank undergrowth, but this fragrance reminds me of lying on my back in a meadow enjoying the spring sunshine. This is spring, new growth, flowers opening in the warmth and birds tweeting. The drydown is soft and gentle, a little powdery. Definitely full bottle worthy-I’m off shopping!

I got the sample set of all 4 scents from January Scent Project, and have tried this and Selperniku so far.
To me this smells very floral or if not floral, sweet, I’m assuming from the “hay” or coumarin note. It’s very refreshing to see a “green” fragrance that’s soft and unisex and doesn’t smell like the men’s deodorant section at the supermarket.
In general I think this is very pleasant and something you could wear to the office without freaking anyone out. Slightly more “user friendly” than Selperniku in my opinion.
Update: The drydown for this is really nice. It’s kind of like a velvety soft woodsiness.

Received my sample pack two days ago. Beautifully and carefully packaged, including a personal note of thanks from John.
Of the three included samples, Smolderose, Selpernika, and Eiderantler, this is by far my favorite. The dry down is a fright though. I can’t help smelling my wrist, but each time I just hope time passes quickly. After that it’s lovely and different from anything else I own. Other reviewers are better at the specifics, so I won’t even try.
The $5 sample pack is definitely worth a try.

In the home, there’s a master bathroom and then there’s the guest bathroom. When you’re potty training a 3 yr old boy, he may or may not miss the toilet. Most likely, little Timmy is honing his skills in the guest bathroom. Company sure finds the most inopportune time to show up. Now the guest bathroom has to be cleaned. The result is the opening of Eiderantler. The grimacing green stuff is effervescent, bright and full of fury. Don’t you dare expect a plant like realistic outdoors type of frag that will make your skin come alive. The only thing that will be alive is your nose hairs. Believe it or not, but Eiderantlers actually takes a much needed turn and shift towards a sweet powdery stage. This is when this Fougere becomes wearable but what’s the point when no one can detect the scent. This is a southpaw lavender only because of it’s labyrinthine nature. This is almost a scrubber. Let’s just call it a scru leaving the bber off for now. The longevity is worth the ridicule as well as the absence of fan favorite notes such as pink pepper and oak.

Potter fans rejoice! Eiderantler is the perfume world portal to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. In the magical world of Nifflers (mole x duck-billed platypus) and Bwotruckles (praying mantis x stick insect), our Eider duck-with-antlers fit right in. Or, as John Biebel rhymed in an interview: “buck and duck in sylvan frolic’.
Forest natives come alive in this Green-floral fougère. Exotic tea-and-spicy champaca entices with lavender and ivy accompaniment. Verdant foliage is soft-focused, never sharp or bitter in this harmonious blend. Warm musk balances cool lavender for a beautifully gender-neutral appeal. Moss, vetiver and woods crunch underfoot, for long lasting wear.
On my skin, the perfume wears linear and uplifting. Eiderantler encapsulates the energy of a bright woodland paradise.
