Jupiter's Lightning Extrait

Jupiter's Lightning Extrait by Argos is an unisex extrait de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with cardamom, juniper berry, lemon and bergamot, moves into clary sage, orris root, tea and saffron and dries down to cypress, atlas cedar, musk and narcissus. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
Tea Tea with no variety named. Dry, slightly tannic and calm.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.

Dry-down

Cypress Cool, green, resinous conifer. Sharp and clean.
Atlas Cedar Smoother, resinous cedar. Warmer than the Virginia type.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Narcissus Green, hay-like and slightly animalic. Strange and beautiful.
