Adonis Awakens

• Romantic

Inspired by John William Waterhouse's painting The Awakening of Adonis, Adonis Awakens by Argos turns into perfume a myth in which love, loss and rebirth intertwine. This creation from the Artist Series II celebrates a romantic beauty, both delicate and passionate.

The opening pairs bright bergamot, grapefruit and pink pepper, bringing freshness and sparkle to the composition. The heart then reveals an unusual bouquet where Bulgarian rose and jasmine sambac meet the sweetness of raspberry, the softness of vanilla and the warm nuances of chestnut.

In the base, Mysore sandalwood, cashmere wood and rose absolute give the fragrance a woody, velvety depth. The rose, the thread running through this composition, speaks of the bond between passion and rebirth, while the creamy woods wrap the skin in an elegant, sensual sillage.

At the crossroads of floral, fruity and woody accords, Adonis Awakens will appeal to lovers of romantic, sophisticated perfumes carried by a mythological and artistic story.
