Argos Birth Of Venus opens with bright citrus and stone fruit, combining peach, bergamot, and grapefruit with a floral lift from orange blossom and lavender. The heart shifts into something richer and more indulgent, layering chocolate and raspberry over a classic floral base of rose, jasmine sambac, and narcissus. The base settles into warm amber and sandalwood with vetiver and cashmere wood providing a creamy, woody finish that anchors the sweetness above.

This is a floral oriental that leans gourmand without becoming a dessert fragrance. The chocolate-raspberry combination sits at the center, giving it a distinctly fruity-sweet character, while the woody base keeps things grounded and masculine. It's not a simple fruity or floral scent, but rather a complex blend where each element gets its moment.

Birth Of Venus works best as an evening or cooler weather fragrance for someone who wants florals with real depth. It suits those drawn to The Homesteader, The Sensualist, and The Romantic archetypes, offering an elegant sweetness that doesn't sacrifice sophistication.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.
Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom
Sweeter and more honeyed than neroli (both come from the same tree), orange blossom is a floral note with a warm, almost edible quality. It floats between citrus and floral families, adding richness without weight. A signature note of classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern perfumery.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit
Bittersweet and juicy with a faintly metallic zing that sets it apart from sweeter citrus notes. Grapefruit is uniquely energising, it reads as clean and modern rather than traditionally 'citrusy.' It pairs effortlessly with musks, making it a staple of office-safe, all-day fragrances.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Lavender
Lavender
One of perfumery's most essential and beloved notes, clean, herbal, and slightly sweet with a calming, familiar quality that works in almost any context. Lavender is simultaneously the most versatile and the most human of ingredients: it appears in barbershop colognes, romantic florals, and sophisticated orientals alike. A note that simply works.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Raspberry
Raspberry
Bright, tart, and slightly jammy, raspberry adds a vivid fruity pop that is harder and more energetic than peach or apricot. It's a signature note of modern fruity florals and adds an accessible sweetness that broadens a fragrance's appeal. Best used with restraint unless you're deliberately going for big and fun.
Chocolate
Chocolate
Dark, rich, and slightly bitter, cacao in perfumery ranges from milky sweet to raw and earthy depending on how it's sourced and used. It adds depth and indulgence to oriental fragrances and pairs beautifully with florals in a way that feels more romantic than foodie. A note that divides opinion but never bores.
Rose
Rose
The queen of floral notes and the most-used ingredient in fine perfumery. Real rose is simultaneously velvety, honeyed, and slightly spicy, nothing like the synthetic candy version. Depending on the variety used, it can anchor a composition or drift through it like a ghost, adding warmth without dominating.
Jasmine Sambac
Jasmine Sambac
The smaller-flowered Asian variety of jasmine used to scent traditional jasmine tea, with a sweeter, more honeyed, and slightly fruity character compared to Jasminum grandiflorum. Jasmine sambac has a lighter, more transparent quality with a tea-like freshness alongside its floral richness. It is the defining jasmine of South and Southeast Asian perfumery.
Narcissus
Narcissus
Green, honeyed, and slightly rubbery, narcissus (daffodil) is one of perfumery's most complex and difficult white florals. It has an almost animalic indolic quality alongside its sweetness, giving it a raw, living-flower character that synthetic white musks can't match. Used carefully it adds extraordinary depth.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Mysore Sandalwood
Mysore Sandalwood
The most revered sandalwood in the world, grown in the Mysore region of Karnataka, India, and now strictly regulated due to over-harvesting. Mysore sandalwood has an extraordinary creaminess, milky depth, and skin-like warmth that no synthetic or other regional variety fully replicates. A single drop in a formula signals luxury without compromise.
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
