Argos Midas Touch Extrait de Parfum is a radiant and opulent creation that captures the allure, desire and danger behind the legendary gift of King Midas. This extrait concentration offers a richer, softer and more golden interpretation of the story, with luminous citrus notes, lush florals, warm resins and precious woods creating a deeply luxurious and unforgettable fragrance experience.
Inspired by the works of Johann Georg Platzer, a rococo master known for his dramatic lighting and opulent depictions of mythological scenes, Midas Touch embodies the tension between beauty and consequence. Platzer often depicted scenes full of gold, decadence and theatrical emotion - in keeping with the myth of a king whose desire became his undoing.
According to legend, King Midas longed for the ability to turn everything he touched into gold. His wish was granted and transformed his world into glittering riches, but at the same time robbed him of all living things. Food became inedible metal, water solidified into cold hardness, and even his daughter turned into a statue in his arms. This fragrance captures both the dazzling beauty and the dark gravity of this myth - with notes that sparkle, deepen and evolve on the skin.
The composition opens with a radiant blend of bergamot, gurjun balsam and creamy tuberose that shines like light on polished gold. Lush rose, fruity-floral osmanthus, resinous cistus labdanum and supple leather unfold in the heart, embodying opulence and decadence. The base transitions into a powerful foundation of patchouli, earthy nagarmotha, golden benzoin siam and precious oud for an intense, unforgettable finish.
