Hercules, Hercules, Hercules!
Nemean lion is a tale of two tapes. It takes you on a journey throughout its wearing, visiting ups and downs with ups coming on the dry down. This fragrance starts off very barnyard animalistic smelling. It’s a scent similar to very heavy ouds that resonate with middle eastern fragrances. It’s pungent, in your face, and very strong, but it has an addictive factor that had me coming back to it, where every 5 minutes, it started to tame itself, and reveal a desirable dry down worth being patient for.

To me the dry down settles down as a dark woody sweetness with hints of caramel on a sandalwood. It’s really nice. It last long too with a great and comfortable sillage. The dry down is wonderful.

Is this a 10/10? No, unfortunately not, and it’s fine, it doesn’t have to be. I’d rate this a solid 8/10. The opening is harsh, but it’s addictive, I can go through the opening over and over again because I know that dry down is rewarding.

Sample it if you can, and be patient with this one. Give it a full wearing and then make your assessment

Not Going to be Everyone's Cup of Tea
This is by far the most challenging Argos fragrance released to date and definitely different than TOB, Danaë, and Adonis Awakens. The opening to me was very off putting with a sharp, camphorous, resinous, animalistic, medicinal top notes of labdanum and oakmoss. As it reaches the heart notes it begins to tone down a bit but still doesn't doesn't offer much to be desired. This could be Parfums de Marly Hamdani's first cousin and there are parallels in smell between the two as both aren't crowd pleasers or compliment magnets. Both are totally different than other offerings in their houses lineups. They are both very linear throughout the dry down which for this scent is not a redeeming characteristic for a fragrance. Better sample before buying or you may get disappointed.

Only people who love dark foreboding leather type fragrances will like this one and only suitable for very cold weather. If you like these fragrances you may try Zaharoff Leather Tabac as it is less offensive. Once it reaches the base notes and starts to fade away does it offer anything of interest for me. In conclusion, I love this brand and the attention to details from the packaging to the wonderful bottles that are a work of art but sadly this fragrance did not move the needle for me. A pity as this one could have been better...

Sweat dripping off of Hercules after defeating a worthy adversary, he breathes heavily, omitting an aroma worthy of a Victorious God
