THE RUSH

Argos – Nemean Lion | Leather Aromatic

🦁 The first labor of Heracles. The beast that could not be killed by mortal weapons. This is its scent. Nemean Lion by Argos is inspired by the legend of Heracles’ first and most fearsome labor — the slaying of the Nemean Lion, a creature of divine origin whose golden fur was impervious to all mortal weapons. Heracles defeated it with his bare hands, then wore its pelt as his most iconic symbol of strength and invincibility.

Bold, raw, and deeply masculine, Nemean Lion is a leather-aromatic of extraordinary character — opening with the wild freshness of Scottish pine and citrus before descending into a complex aromatic heart and settling into a powerful base of Mysore sandalwood, leather, and oud. Cruelty-free and made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or mineral oil.

Opening: Citrus, Scottish Pine, Labdanum, Oak Moss — a wild, forest-fresh entry where the brightness of citrus meets the resinous depth of Scottish pine and the earthy, mossy richness of labdanum and oak moss — raw, untamed, and immediately commanding.

Heart: Coriander, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Pink Peppercorn, Juniper Berry — a complex, aromatic-spiced heart where the warmth of coriander and pink peppercorn weaves through the herbal clarity of clary sage and juniper berry, softened by the unexpected elegance of jasmine.

Base: Amber, Mysore Sandalwood, Leather, Oud, Musk — a powerful, animalic foundation of rare Mysore sandalwood and oud, anchored by rich leather and warm amber, that delivers the strength and invincibility of the legend itself.
