THE RUSH

Argos – Love Triumphs Over War | Floral Oriental

💘 Venus freezes Mars with a single gaze. Love wins. Always. Love Triumphs Over War by Argos is inspired by Peter Paul Rubens’ breathtaking Flemish Baroque masterpiece — Venus, Mars, and Cupid (c. 1630s) — the companion painting to Fall of Phaeton. Where Phaeton falls in chaos and fire, here Venus stands triumphant: her fair skin and warm sensuality leaning into Mars’s embrace, freezing the god of war with her seductive yet tender gaze. Mischievous putti capering with his sword and shield. Love, as always, disarming everything in its path.

A beautifully complex, richly layered floral oriental that captures the full warmth, sensuality, and triumphant joy of Rubens’ vision.

Opening: Bright Bergamot, Orange, Lemon, Sweet Tuberose, Rose Petals, Raspberry, Seductive Blackcurrant — a luminous, fruit-floral explosion of extraordinary richness, where sparkling citrus meets the heady sweetness of tuberose and the dark allure of blackcurrant in an opening that is immediately captivating.

Heart: Violet, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Geranium, Gardenia, Iris, Ylang-Ylang — a lush, spiced-floral heart of remarkable complexity, where the warmth of clove and cinnamon weaves through a bouquet of violet, gardenia, and iris in a heart that is both romantic and deeply sensual.

Base: Warming Amber, White Musk, Cashmere Wood, Mysore Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla — a warm, enveloping foundation of rare Mysore sandalwood and cashmere wood that brings this beautifully captivating and disarming composition to its unforgettable conclusion.
