Triumph of Bacchus Argos 2019 Eau de Parfum

Triumph of Bacchus is one of those very special fragrances. Let's say you hypothetically sampled 100 different fragrances, then I would bet that you would get stuck with Triumph of Bacchus. At least that's how it is for me whenever I invite guests. EVERYONE stops and says something (usually positive). Simply a fragrance that stands out from the crowd.

The red color of the liquid already gives us a first impression. I come from the Moselle and here we grow vineyard peaches - the winegrowers make vineyard peach liqueur from them. That's roughly what the Triumph of Bacchus smells like. Very fruity and boozy, sweet and "loud". Especially when the perfume is freshly sprayed on, it is very strong and takes off at full power. It stays like this for quite a while until it becomes calmer after what feels like 2 hours and other, heavier notes such as tobacco. Overall, an absolutely great fragrance experience, which I consider more for leisure use - dates, clubbing etc. The fragrance is described here as unisex, but I don't see it on a woman at all.

Well my friends, now the question of all questions: Should you run out and get it right away? No man, I think that as good as Triumph of Bacchus is, it's not a perfume for everyone. It's too sweet, too fruity, too alcoholic and too loud for that. So what to do? My tip: go to your nearest Douglas / Müller and check out the Tom Ford Lost Cherry. The Lost Cherry is of course different but goes in a similar direction - fruity, sweet, loud etc. If you could imagine wearing the Lost Cherry but are looking for something more masculine with an alcoholic note, then you should try the Triumph of Bacchus.
