Being James Dean
Once you woke up and you were James Dean, with a myrrhic look and motorcycle clothes, those soft ones with the saffron seams that shone with leather grease and smelled like shoe polish. You fell out of the old photographs, the ones in brownish tones with deckle edges that had become crumbly and mulchy, as if they could be planted in the ground so that mirror images grew out of them like suede hair on rotten tree bark.

The British house Argentum (Latin for silver), which has a boutique in Notting Hill, combines skin care products containing microsilver with a holistic approach in which external care is supported by the inner balance of various traits. Based on a tarot card game, the house therefore depicts twelve archetypes in fragrances, which are intended to represent these different attributes: "In honour of these energies, les parfums infinis, a collection of long-lasting natural fragrances was introduced in 2022. Formulated in Grasse, they symbolize the ethos of 12 Become 1, which begins and ends with the much-loved ARgENTUM signature scent, No.0 Become." it says on the homepage. With Delphine Thierry, a renowned nose has been engaged for this. Based on the motto, what do I feel like today, you can then wear the corresponding fragrance, for example, and reflect on this character trait. The "rebel" is a reminder to face one's own revolutionary approaches with humility.
Olfactorily, Delphine Thierry has placed a leather accord at the heart of the fragrance, which combines subtle, animalic, mulchy, leathery oud with a hint of spicy, rather red saffron and various resins. In fact, the balsamic benzoin, the cinnamon-like sweet styrax and the slightly rubbery, spicy-warm myrrh unfold typical shoe polish aromas in this combination, which have a very pleasantly soft and raw effect on me with the rotten, wild-leathery oud. For me, the only development of the fragrance can be found in the underlying papyrus, which seems to shift from dry-woody to earthy-spicy. The fragrance, the consistency of which resembles a milky lotion in keeping with the label, projects throughout in a moderate to restrained manner but lasts longer than average on my skin.
