Triumph of Bacchus Argos 2019 Eau de Parfum

I bought Triumph of Bacchus completely blind because the notes appealed to me right away. In general, you really shouldn't do that, especially at this price point, but Argos had been on my radar for a while, not least because of the beautiful bottles. But when the fragrance arrived and I sprayed it for the first time, it was immediately clear: THIS is exactly my kind of scent. Probably my best blind buy in a long time.

It opens very fruity, delicious, and clearly of apple and peach. Peach is usually a tricky note for me, as it can quickly become overwhelming, but here the balance is perfect.

As it develops, the fragrance becomes quite creamy on my skin, while the fruit stays pleasantly in the background. I can detect the tobacco ever so slightly, but nowhere near as prominently as some people often claim.

The longevity is truly out of this world. It lasts all day without any trouble, and even the room where you spray it still smells of it days later. Luckily, I got the version with the dark red liquid. I was also able to test the newer batch with the lighter liquid in a store, and it is noticeably weaker. A real shame.

All in all, an absolutely brilliant fragrance, perfect for colder days or cooler summer evenings.

EDIT
Since I've been asked several times now: I bought the fragrance online from Breuninger. They apparently still have the darker version. In the store itself (at least in Düsseldorf), however, they only sell the lighter version.
