Midas Touch, ExDP, Argos

Midas Touch by ARGOS is an Extrait de Parfum with an opulent, golden and luxuriously warm aura. The fragrance feels rich, smooth and intense, with an air of abundance, seduction and precious depth. The bottle carries this mood further, too: the front plaque depicts King Midas and takes up the myth of the golden blessing that became both wish and curse. ARGOS itself describes Midas Touch as radiant and opulent and as a fragrance about allure, desire and danger.

What does Midas Touch smell like?
Warm, floral, resinous, leathery and oudy. Bergamot and gurjum open the fragrance bright and luminous, while tuberose immediately brings in a creamy, lush softness. Rose and osmanthus make the heart supple, sensual and luxurious, while cistus labdanum and leather create more depth and a golden, slightly balsamic warmth. In the dry-down, patchouli, nagarmotha, benzoin Siam and oud deliver dark elegance, smoke, resinousness and a very rich, long-lasting impression. Overall, Midas Touch feels opulent, confident and exceptionally luxurious.

When is Midas Touch at its best?
It is especially beautiful in autumn and winter, for evening hours, formal occasions, celebrations, gala moments or whenever a fragrance should feel rich, elegant and unforgettable. ARGOS officially lists it as an Extrait for fall, winter, evenings and signature luxury moments.

What makes Midas Touch special?
What makes it special is the combination of a luminous opening, a lush tuberose-rose structure and a dark, golden base of benzoin Siam, nagarmotha and oud. Added to this is the strong mythological and artistic charge: ARGOS links the fragrance directly to King Midas and officially references the Rococo painter Johann Georg Platzer, whose visual language of gold, decadence and dramatic theatricality helps shape the creation.
