# Puredistance — Antonia No. 02

> Antonia is Puredistance's green floral portrait of elegance: Annie Buzantian's 2010 parfum extrait, named for founder Jan Ewoud Vos's mother and built around galbanum, flowers, powder and warm softnes

## Essence
Antonia is Puredistance's green floral portrait of elegance: Annie Buzantian's 2010 parfum extrait, named for founder Jan Ewoud Vos's mother and built around galbanum, flowers, powder and warm softness.
## Scent Profile
It opens green, aldehydic and luminous, with galbanum and ivy softened by a soapy sparkle. Jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose and orris form the floral heart, while vetiver, vanilla and musk give the drydown root, powder and comfort. The balance is classical but gentle rather than severe.
## Performance
As a 25% extrait, Antonia has strong longevity with moderate, close sillage. It is not a projection monster; the effect is tenacious, polished and comfortable.
## Wearing Context
Antonia suits spring, summer, transitional weather, professional settings and formal daytime wear. It reads feminine in most accounts, but its green-soapy refinement can work for anyone who enjoys classical florals.
## Comparisons & DNA
The obvious references are Chanel No. 19, Vent Vert and other great green florals or floral chypres. Within Puredistance, it stands apart from the more ethereal Puredistance I and the more romantic Opardu.
## Reception
The consensus is highly admiring among green-floral lovers. Praise centers on balance, elegance and technical polish. The main caveats are price and a soapy-powdery facet that some wearers find too clean or too restrained.
## Versions & Reformulation
Antonia launched in 2010 and remains a single extrait composition. Its listed notes vary slightly across sources, but the identity is stable: green floral, powdery, warm and elegant.
## Acquisition Notes
It is expensive but still obtainable through the brand and authorized stockists. Sample first, especially if aldehydic soapiness or powder can become tiring on your skin.
## Notable Facts & Lore
- The fragrance is named for Frieda Antonia, founder Jan Ewoud Vos's mother and a ballet teacher.
- Its green-floral style is a deliberate classical counterpoint to more overtly modern niche perfumes.
- Buzantian's personal connection to the formula gives the release an unusually intimate backstory.
