Midas Touch

Starts with a combination of bergamot and flowers, but then turns into a very dominant rose, which is finally followed by oud. Anyone who loves exactly this combination will find what they're looking for here; however, it's not my thing at all.

Midas Touch opens directly with a fresh citrus and a slightly metallic-resinous note. The sweet, delicate flowers are already appearing. As it progresses, the floral notes further balance out with the warm resins. These resins give the fragrance a rough, medicinal balsamic quality that creates a strong contrast to the floral opulence. A clean, soft leather blends in and provides warmth, but does not drift into the animalic. In the base, patchouli and its distinct earthy notes provide a pleasant darkness and coziness. The lush blooms remain until the end, but never become too sweet or powdery. With good longevity and sillage, Midas Touch is an excellently constructed floral fragrance that shows character through its rough edges and never seems too pleasing.

Argos – Midas Touch is a fragrance that polarizes, right from the very first second. Anyone looking for a classic, pleasing niche fragrance here will be surprised. This scent is unique – but in a fascinating, masterfully crafted way. It is not a blind crowd-pleaser, but a true olfactory adventure.
