Description
Inspired by Botticelli's most celebrated masterpiece — the divine fragrance of the goddess of beauty, bottled.
Launched in 2024, Birth of Venus is Argos at their most luminously feminine. Named after Botticelli's 1485 Renaissance painting depicting Venus rising from the sea, this fragrance captures the essence of divine beauty, love and radiance. Bergamot, juicy peach, grapefruit, orange blossom and sweet lavender open with a vibrant, sun-drenched warmth before a rich floral heart of narcissus, jasmine sambac, rose, iris, violet, raspberry and decadent chocolate blooms in extraordinary complexity. The base of amber, vetiver, Mysore sandalwood and cashmere wood with labdanum is warm, resinous and deeply sensual. A truly exceptional creation — perfumery as high art.

How does Birth of Venus compare to Adonis Awakens? Adonis is more citrus-forward and masculine-leaning. Birth of Venus is lusher, more complex and more feminine — the addition of chocolate, iris and labdanum push it into genuinely opulent territory. Both are exceptional — sampling both is the ultimate Argos experience.
