Guaiac wood, cedar, cashmere wood and pink pepper form a woody, slightly spicy heart, set on patchouli, sandalwood and an enveloping musk. A sensual citrus woody, to wear from spring to autumn.

Danaë in detail
Argos tells an ancient legend in each fragrance, often through a great painting. Danaë takes its inspiration from Zeus's shower of gold as painted by Klimt: a luminous woody fragrance in which bright citrus meets warm woods and soft musk.
The official pyramid opens on bergamot and lemon, a lively, golden start. The heart brings together smoky guaiac wood, cedarwood, cashmere wood and pink pepper, which adds a spicy note. The base pairs patchouli, sandalwood and musk, a warm, clean foundation.
Danaë can be worn from spring to autumn, by day or by night: at the office, at a dinner, or every day for those who love luminous woody fragrances.
