(100 ml Eau de Parfum)
“Argos Fall of Phaeton” is a bold and powerful Eau de Parfum, inspired by the dramatic mythology as depicted in the works of Peter Paul Rubens. This fragrance blends zesty citrus notes, fiery spices, smoldering woods, and deep resins to tell the story of Phaeton’s rise and fall, creating an intense and unforgettable olfactory experience. “Fall of Phaeton” draws on the dynamic Flemish Baroque style of Rubens, whose paintings emphasized movement, emotion, and divine spectacle. In ancient mythology, Phaeton, determined to prove his divine lineage, persuaded his father Helios to let him drive the sun god’s chariot across the sky. When he lost control of the fiery steeds, he scorched the earth in some places and froze it in others. To restore balance, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt, sending him hurtling to Earth in a firework display of tragic beauty. Rubens vividly depicted this moment of chaos, showing Phaethon falling from his chariot as the seasons and celestial beings react in horror. The scene reflects courage, recklessness, and the price paid for daring to transcend the limits of mortal life. This fragrance captures the heat, drama, and emotional power of this myth. It opens with radiant notes of bergamot and lemon, paired with cardamom, pink peppercorns, and fresh ginger. The heart reveals smoldering notes of labdanum, lavender, and agarwood, reminiscent of the burning chariot and the swirling sky. The base notes unfold with rich musk, animalic leather, warm tonka bean, and vanilla for a deep and intoxicating finish.
