DryScent

This is by far the most challenging Argos fragrance released to date and definitely different than TOB, Danaë, and Adonis Awakens. The opening to me was very off putting with a sharp, camphorous, resinous, animalistic, medicinal top notes of labdanum and oakmoss. As it reaches the heart notes it begins to tone down a bit but still doesn't doesn't offer much to be desired. This could be Parfums de Marly Hamdani's first cousin and there are parallels in smell between the two as both aren't crowd pleasers or compliment magnets. Both are totally different than other offerings in their houses lineups. They are both very linear throughout the dry down which for this scent is not a redeeming characteristic for a fragrance. Better sample before buying or you may get disappointed.

Only people who love dark foreboding leather type fragrances will like this one and only suitable for very cold weather. If you like these fragrances you may try Zaharoff Leather Tabac as it is less offensive. Once it reaches the base notes and starts to fade away does it offer anything of interest for me. In conclusion, I love this brand and the attention to details from the packaging to the wonderful bottles that are a work of art but sadly this fragrance did not move the needle for me. A pity as this one could have been better...

I don't know what I was expecting here but damn...this smells like a cross between singed hair and singed skunk. I guess the name was correct but I had taken it as a joke so I guess the joke is on me. What a stench this stuff puts off and a total waste of money except for the novelty of saying you own this fragrance. A total waste of money so that's on me for getting this one. I really don't see anyone actually liking this mess.

The only thing I like is the bottle and nothing else.

I have been trying the Zaharoff house for about a year now and was really excited about this release. This one was a bit underwhelming in my opinion as it reminded me of a toned down version of Parfums de Marly Hamdani which was an over the top beast mode leather/tobacco offering that was a little too overpowering. I wasn't a huge fan of Hamdani and maybe that's what turns me off on this one. You really need to sample this one before buying.

I rate this one a 7 overall.

I didn't have an issue with this fragrance scent wise because it is nice while it lasts but there lies the issue... longevity and sillage. You could spray half a bottle on you in and 30 minutes later it be undetectable. Pitiful projection with this one. Do yourself a favor and avoid wasting your money on this one.

I love the nostalgia of fragrances from the 80's & 90's and was very curious about this scent since it had such a good rating and the price was very affordable. I decided to blind purchase this scent and was excited when I received it today. After spraying it on my wrist I immediately regretted the purchase as the smell definitely wasn't for me. This has a strong pungent presence that I was not prepared for and quickly elevated to an assault to my senses. There is nothing I can smell that would in my mind project favorably to the fairer sex and may be a deterrent. Matter of fact my dogs wouldn't even get near me to be petted. This may be a good scent if you deliberately wanted to turn somebody off or if you intended on breaking up with someone. I guess this is either a love or hate kind of fragrance and I would fall in the latter category and not my cup of tea. Now to figure out what I am going to do with 5 ounces of this mess and may just throw it away since I am not going to wear it. I gave the scent a 1 and that was being generous.
