Adonis Awakens by Argos is a romantic , opulent and timeless fragrance. It opens with a luminous explosion of bergamot, grapefruit and pink pepper, then transforms into an enveloping heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine sambac, creamy vanilla, chestnut and juicy raspberry. The rich and sensual base combines warm Mysore sandalwood, sophisticated cashmere wood and intense rose absolute, giving life to a surprisingly seductive and provocative scent.

John Waterhouse, a famous English painter, drew inspiration from Greek mythology and the Pre-Raphaelite style for his works.

According to legend, Adonis, the Greek god of beauty, desire and rebirth, died tragically during a hunting trip. Aphrodite, in despair, rushed to him, wounding herself on a thorn of a rose bush. That flower, symbol of the goddess, born pure and white, was dyed an intense crimson red, soaked in her blood. With a kiss, Aphrodite awakened Adonis, thus perpetuating the eternal cycle of life.
