Rebel

7.5

Argentum

Spicy · Woody · Oriental

Argentum Rebel is a spicy, woody unisex fragrance with a dark, warm character built on resinous, smoky and leathery tones. Saffron and myrrh set a spicy, resinous base, while benzoin and styrax sweeten and soften it. Oud and papyrus bring out the woody, smoky side, with powdery and animalic touches adding depth in the background. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick evening and nights out, though leisure and business get a fair share too. Its heavy, oriental build suits cooler evenings.

Creator

7.0

Argentum

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Argentum Creator is a unisex fragrance that sets a floral, sweet core against spicy and leathery touches. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate: it neither fills the room nor disappears quickly. Voters pick it most for leisure and evening, with daily wear, business and nights out close behind. Cinnamon, cumin and bitter orange give it a spicy, faintly bitter edge. Osmanthus and iris add a soft, powdery floral side, benzoin deepens the sweetness with a resinous warmth, and suede supplies a leathery base. Davana feeds the fruity side.

Everyman

7.3

Argentum

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Argentum Everyman is a unisex perfume built around star anise, Argentinian lemon and French clary sage, with a fresh, spicy character. Citrus and fresh accords give it a bright start, while cassia and star anise add a spicy edge. Mimosa and narcissus bring a soft floral touch, and patchouli and cedarwood set a woody, earthy base underneath. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Voters place it mostly in leisure, daily and evening wear, and it also suits the office. On character, votes split between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't lean firmly either way.

Sage

7.4

Argentum

Fresh · Floral · Green

Argentum Sage is a fresh, floral unisex scent that sets green and powdery tones against a sweet, woody base. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so this is only a rough guide. As a unisex scent it doesn't lean towards either men or women. Egyptian violet leaf gives it a green, fresh feel, while ylang-ylang and heliotrope add a soft, powdery floral touch. Vanilla sweetens it and makes it creamy, and New Caledonian sandalwood supplies the woody ground. Armani Privé Vert Malachite and Dior New Look 1947 have a close profile.

Magician

7.6

Argentum

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Argentum Magician is a unisex scent that sets the resinous warmth of amber and labdanum against the bite of Indian black pepper and chili. The notes read as one blend: myrrh absolute and clove add a spiced depth, while Atlas cedar lays a woody base. The accords sit in a sweet, spicy and resinous register, with fougère and oriental touches keeping that warmth in balance. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on skin for hours without filling the room. Voters place it in leisure, evening and daily wear, with night outings and the office close behind. Givenchy Ambre Tigré and Xerjoff Layla have a close profile.

Become

6.9

Argentum

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Argentum Become is a fresh, green and woody unisex scent built around Italian bergamot, geranium leaf and Indian sandalwood. Bergamot brings a citrus lift and geranium leaf adds a green edge. Spices and rosewood pull it towards a dry, woody side, while Indian sandalwood and Indonesian patchouli give it an earthy base. The notes read as one blend rather than separate layers. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Most pick spring and summer, then fall, with winter chosen less often. Daily wear and leisure lead, and it is also considered fit for the office. Hermès Terre d'Hermès (Eau de Toilette) and Perfumer H Vetiver have a close profile.

Innocent

6.4

Argentum

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Argentum Innocent is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, green character, where citrus and fruity tones come forward. Its longevity and projection are both moderate, so it leaves a quiet trace rather than a heavy one. Voters place it most with business wear, then daily and leisure use, while sport and evening get fewer votes. Lemon and green apple give it a bright start, while basil and herbs carry the green side. Sandalwood forms a woody base, and bitter almond with ambrette seed softens it into something powdery, creamy and lightly sweet; clary sage adds a faint spicy edge.

Hero

7.6

Argentum

Citrus · Green · Fruity

Argentum Hero is a unisex fragrance with a spicy, woody character, where citrus freshness sits over smoky and earthy tones. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though these ratings rest on only a few votes. Most votes point to leisure and evening wear, with night out, daily use and business sharing the rest. It reads as sitting in the middle, comfortable on both men and women. Cardamom, basil, cumin and clove give a spicy start, while orange softens that edge with a fruity brightness. Patchouli, oud and vetiver add a resinous, earthy and smoky depth. The overall impression runs from green, citrusy liveliness to an oriental woodiness. Its profile is close to Ajmal Patchouli and Franck Boclet Oud.

Caregiver

6.6

Argentum

Fresh · Floral · Green

Argentum Caregiver is a unisex scent that softens a fresh, floral start with spicy, sweet and woody warmth, and it can be worn by anyone. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close rather than filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are not enough votes to say which season or occasion it suits. Sicilian bergamot and neroli give it a bright, floral side, while cinnamon and sesame add a spicy, lightly sweet warmth. Patchouli, Haitian vetiver and elemi resin build an earthy, woody, resinous base, and Venezuelan tonka bean rounds everything off with a powdery sweetness.

Lover

7.1

Argentum

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Argentum Lover is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, floral character with a sweet, fruity edge. Voters don't tie Lover to one setting: leisure, night out, business, evening and daily wear get nearly equal shares. As a unisex perfume, it is open to men and women alike. As a whole, it is built on the floral body of Persian rose and geranium. Raspberry brings a fruity sweetness, Madagascan pink pepper adds a light spice, and musk gives a powdery, creamy softness. The fresh side keeps the sweetness from turning heavy.

Ruler

6.7

Argentum

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Argentum Ruler is a unisex scent that pairs fresh citrus with a floral, spicy body, touched by woody and creamy notes. Argentinian lemon and juniper berry give it a bright, slightly sharp lift, while ginger and pink pepper add spice. Rose, jasmine and Indian tuberose form the floral core, and amber sweetens it and rounds it off with a creamy warmth. Green and woody tones stay in the background. Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are tentative. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits any skin. Xerjoff Torino23 and Tom Ford Venetian Bergamot have a close profile.

Explorer

7.6

Argentum

Sweet · Spicy · Woody

Argentum Explorer is a sweet, spicy unisex fragrance built around cardamom, Sichuan pepper and labdanum. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Cardamom and Sichuan pepper bring a spicy warmth, while Argentinean grapefruit adds a light freshness over it. Labdanum and frankincense give a resinous, oriental depth, and Indonesian patchouli sets an earthy, woody ground. Ambrette softens the blend, and a smoky edge stays in the background behind the sweetness. Its profile is close to Lubin Akkad and Atelier des Ors Larmes du Désert.

Jester

6.8

Argentum

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Argentum Jester is a fresh, citrusy unisex scent built around bergamot, green mandarin orange and Mexican blood orange. Kumquat joins the citrus notes for a bright, fruity feel, while berries and tamarind sweeten it and ginger adds a spicy warmth. White blossoms and Madagascan ylang-ylang bring a soft, creamy floral side. Sandalwood sets a woody, powdery base underneath. A green, fresh air runs through the whole composition. Perfumes with a close profile include Memo Paris Kedu and Guerlain Shalimar Souffle d'Oranger.
