THE RUSH:

Midas Touch – Oriental Woody

Midas Touch by Argos is inspired by Johann Georg Platzer’s Rococo masterpiece depicting the myth of King Midas — the king whose greedy wish for gold became his most devastating curse. Platzer captures the moment of overindulgence with lavish, decadent brushstrokes, light dancing across golden surfaces and flesh alike. This fragrance captures that same opulent, theatrical energy: glowing, rich, and impossible to resist. Desire meets downfall. Gold meets grief. And somewhere in between, one of the most extraordinary fragrances in the Argos Artist Series.

The opening radiates with the sparkling brightness of bergamot, the warm balsamic richness of gurjum balsam, and the heady creaminess of tuberose — glowing like sunlight on newly forged gold. The heart is intoxicating and opulent: the velvety sweetness of osmanthus and rose meets the sticky warmth of cistus labdanum and the dark sensuality of leather — evoking the opulent weight of desire. The base is powerful and enduring: rare nagarmota and prized oud form a deep resinous foundation, warmed by golden benzoin siam and grounded by patchouli — divine, lasting, and impossible to forget.
