Danaë
Danaë by Argos is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with bergamot, lemon and pink pepper, moves into guaiac wood, cedarwood and cashmere wood and dries down to labdanum, patchouli, mysore sandalwood and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Heart
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Cashmere Wood Soft, fuzzy, slightly musky wood. Adds a blurred warmth.
Dry-down
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Mysore Sandalwood The legendary Indian sandalwood. Richer and butterier than any substitute.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
