Argos Sacred Flame EDP

Description

Sacred Flame is a glowing spiced floral that changes several times on the skin, from fruit and spice to a deep amber. Argos released it in 2024, inspired by Prometheus and the fire he gave to humankind. The opening is busy and bright: bergamot, grapefruit, peach, tangerine, ginger, pink pepper tree and clove. The heart blooms with rose, tuberose, violet, jasmine and orris, warmed by cinnamon bark and patchouli. It burns down into amber, vetiver, cashmere wood, Mysore sandalwood, benzoin, opoponax, tonka and vanilla. Reviewers note how much it evolves, and it wears unisex.

Scent Character

Translation: floral and sweet in equal measure, with a clear spice line from clove, ginger and cinnamon. Sandalwood and cashmere wood give it body, citrus lifts the top, and the resinous warmth comes from amber, benzoin and opoponax, not from oud.
