(100 ml Eau de Parfum)
Argos Adonis Awakens is a romantic and timeless Eau de Parfum inspired by John William Waterhouse's iconic painting. It blends zesty citrus notes, delicate florals, creamy woods, and sensual rose absolute into a provocative and emotionally moving fragrance. Part of the Argos Fragrances Artist Series II, Adonis Awakens draws its inspiration from John William Waterhouse, the celebrated English painter known for his Pre-Raphaelite style and his fascination with Greek mythology. His artwork, "The Awakening of Adonis," beautifully captures the moment when love, loss, and rebirth intertwine. According to an ancient legend, Adonis, the god of beauty, desire, and renewal, met a tragic end while hunting. As he lay dying, Aphrodite rushed to his side but pricked herself on a thorn. Her blood transformed the once white rose, symbol of purity and love, into a crimson bloom. A kiss from the goddess awakened Adonis, creating a cycle of eternal life and passion that has inspired poets and artists for centuries. Argos Adonis Awakens embodies this myth with a fragrance that is both poetic and irresistible. It opens with fresh bergamot, grapefruit, and pink peppercorns. The heart unfolds into a romantic bouquet of Bulgarian rose, sambac jasmine, vanilla, raspberry, and chestnut. The base notes of Mysore sandalwood, cashmere wood, and rose absolute convey depth, warmth, and sensuality.
