Nemean Lion from Argos Fragrances takes its name from the legendary beast of Greek mythology—slain by Hercules, its hide impenetrable, its roar unforgettable. True to its inspiration, this scent is bold, powerful, and unrelenting, blending fiery citrus, opulent florals, and commanding woods into a fragrance that feels both mythical and modern.
This isn’t just a fragrance—it’s armor for the ambitious.
Opening:
From the first spray, Nemean Lion bursts with energy—a fierce blend of bergamot, grapefruit, and pink pepper. Bright, zesty, and sparkling, the citrus hits like a flash of sunlight on gold. The pepper gives it bite, a reminder that this lion has claws.
Heart:
As it evolves, the composition deepens into a regal floral-amber core. Rose and jasmine sambac add elegance, while saffron and cardamom bring warmth and spice. The balance here is remarkable—fierce yet refined, fiery yet sophisticated.
It smells like power in control.
Dry Down:
The base is where Nemean Lion shows its true dominance. Oud, amber, sandalwood, and musk create a magnetic, long-lasting foundation. It’s smoky, woody, and sensual, with a resinous depth that clings to skin and clothing for hours. A touch of vanilla and tonka bean softens the edges, giving the dry down a smooth, addictive quality.
Performance:
As expected from Argos, this is beast mode. Nemean Lion projects boldly in the opening and settles into a potent, commanding aura that lasts 10–12+ hours. It’s a fragrance designed to leave an impression—and a trail.
