An Aromatic Woody Interpretation: The New Extrait de Parfum "Jupiter's Lightning" by Argos

The American niche label Argos presents "Jupiter's Lightning," an aromatic, woody unisex fragrance inspired by Zeus.

Argos Jupiter's Lightning Extrait de Parfum is a powerful and imposing composition inspired by the divine authority and heavenly power of Zeus, king of the gods. This extrait concentration delivers a radiant, aromatic, and deeply refined interpretation of Olympian grandeur, capturing the brilliance and untamed power of lightning in a bottle.

"Jupiter's Lightning" opens with fresh, aromatic notes of bergamot and lemon. Cardamom and juniper berries lend the opening dry, spicy nuances. The heart features powdery iris root, accompanied by clary sage, subtle tea nuances, and a leathery saffron note. The base has a woody and slightly resinous finish. Atlas cedar and cypress provide structure, while musk lends the fragrance a clean, skin-close warmth.

The painting Jupiter Enthroned by Heinrich Friedrich Füger, which depicts Zeus/Jupiter enthroned with his thunderbolt, served as the inspiration for the creation. The aim of the fragrance is to interpret this motif olfactorily, with the lightning bolt symbolizing strength and power.

"Jupiter's Lightning" was composed by Christian Petrovich.
