Argos - Adonis Awakens

Adonis Awakens opens bright and fruity, bergamot, grapefruit and pink pepper, before blooming into Bulgarian rose and jasmine sambac sweetened with raspberry, vanilla and chestnut, then resting on creamy Mysore sandalwood, cashmere wood and rose absolute.

The Story

Argos casts Adonis as youthful beauty stirring to life: a luminous rose-and-fruit floral wrapped in soft, creamy woods, polished, romantic and easy to love.

The Nose

Composed by Christian Petrovich, founder of Argos, also behind Triumph of Bacchus, Birth of Venus and Bacio Immortale.

Fragrance Character

Citrus and pepper sparkle at the top; the heart is a juicy rose, raspberry and vanilla rounding its edges, chestnut adding nutty warmth. Mysore sandalwood and cashmere woods give a creamy, smooth drydown.

Best Worn

Spring and mild weather, evening or casual, a romantic rose-woody for those who like their florals creamy and bright.

Why the Adonis Awakens Decant

A polished rose-sandalwood, a decant is a low-commitment way to see how its creamy woods wear on you.
