Bacchus, Venus, Neptune, Adonis: at Argos, every perfume brings a figure from Greco-Roman mythology back to life. All seven of the house's creations are at Sayhar, to try on rue de Marignan or to order online.
About Argos
Argos was born in 2014 from the imagination of Christian Petrovich, a self-taught perfumer who came from modelling and film, shaped by his travels and by the stories of Antiquity. His method always starts from a legend: the triumph of the god of wine, Venus rising from the waves, the love of Eros and Psyche, the fall of Phaeton hurled from the chariot of the Sun. The juices are blended and macerated in Nice, then produced in a private laboratory in Grasse. The result is theatrical, opulent perfumery that plays on saffron, rum, smoky leather, ambergris and Mysore sandalwood.
The Argos collection at Sayhar
Adonis Awakens: the awakening of Adonis, with pink pepper, Bulgarian rose, raspberry and creamy sandalwood.
Bacio Immortale: the kiss of Eros and Psyche, violet and raspberry laid over smoky oud and leather.
Birth of Venus: Botticelli as a fragrance, peach and orange blossom drifting towards amber and vetiver.
Fall of Phaeton: a sun-scorched leather, softened with tonka, vanilla and musk.
Neptune’s Trident: the power of the ocean, lavender, cardamom and green tea over a base of salty ambergris.
Triumph of Bacchus: a Dionysian feast, saffron, rum and white peach, with tobacco and vanilla in the base.
Triumph of Bacchus Extrait: the same intoxication, as a denser, longer-lasting extrait.
Where to start with Argos
For freshness, Neptune’s Trident. For a luminous floral, Birth of Venus or Adonis Awakens. For leather and dark woods, Bacio Immortale or Fall of Phaeton. For a spicy amber that never goes unnoticed, Triumph of Bacchus, and its Extrait if you want even more staying power. Each creation comes in a 100 ml bottle.
