{"product_id":"argos-adonis-awakens-eau-de-parfum-sample","title":"Argos Adonis Awakens Eau de Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdonis Awakens belongs to Argos' Artist Series, which pairs a perfume with a painting: here The Awakening of Adonis by John William Waterhouse. The brand retells the myth of Adonis and Aphrodite and puts rose at the centre of this Eau de Parfum. A rose with fruit and vanilla can go either way on a given skin, which is a good reason to try a 10 ml decant first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Bergamot, Grapefruit, Pink Peppercorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Bulgarian Rose, Sambac Jasmine, Vanilla, Raspberry, Chestnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysore Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood, Rose Absolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBright citrus and pink pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scent starts with bergamot, grapefruit and pink peppercorn, a clear, slightly spiky lift before the flowers arrive. It is a short first act, and on a sample it tells you quickly whether the freshness suits you or you would rather skip to the rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA heart built around rose\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulgarian rose leads, with Sambac jasmine, vanilla, raspberry and chestnut around it. The brand tells the myth of a white rose turned crimson, and the heart follows it: a floral centre with a red-fruit sweetness and a soft, nutty roundness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSandalwood, cashmere wood and rose absolute\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drydown brings Mysore sandalwood, cashmere wood and rose absolute. Rose does not disappear at the end, it settles into the woods. This is the stage that decides whether the whole perfume feels romantic, as the brand intends, or simply too sweet for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear the sample on a calm day and put it on skin rather than a paper strip, since rose and vanilla change with body warmth. Spring and autumn suit it well. Note how the raspberry sits against the rose in the first stretch, then check the woody finish later in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone drawn to rose who wants more than a plain floral: citrus on top, fruit and vanilla in the middle, wood underneath. The perfume is listed as unisex. It suits daily wear and evenings, and it is a good fit for people who enjoy a perfume with a story behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Argos Adonis Awakens as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose, raspberry and vanilla together is a combination that tastes differ on, and the bottle is 100 ml. A decant filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle lets you live with it for a few days first. It is labelled by us, it is not a brand sample, and Argos is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in an Adonis Awakens sample?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant in a glass spray vial, filled by FragranceGems from the original Argos bottle and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample, and Argos is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a sweet perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has sweet parts, namely vanilla and raspberry, but bergamot, grapefruit and pink pepper open it freshly and the woods dry it down. A sample shows how those balance on you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is the Artist Series?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA line from Argos in which each perfume is tied to a painting and its story. Adonis Awakens takes its cue from Waterhouse's The Awakening of Adonis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it for men or women?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand sells it as unisex. Rose is the centre, but the woods and spice keep it from reading as strictly feminine, and a sample lets you judge that yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Argos","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693353271450,"sku":"DG-ARG-ADONIS-AWAKENS-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693353304218,"sku":"DG-ARG-ADONIS-AWAKENS-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693320700058,"sku":"DG-ARG-ADONIS-AWAKENS-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/argos-adonis-awakens-eau-de-parfum-sample.jpg?v=1791395649","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/argos-adonis-awakens-eau-de-parfum-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
