Description
12 LABORS OF HERCULES
NEMEAN is a fragrance that is inspired by the timeless tale of the cunning and invincible beast in Greek mythology. The Nemean lion, a formidable monster, unleashed havoc in Argos with its impervious golden fur and razor-sharp claws. Raised by Hera and sent to Nemea to punish worshippers of Zeus, the lion faced its inevitable demise at the hands of the legendary Heracles.
Despite arrows proving futile, Heracles, displaying both determination and cunning, skillfully cornered and ultimately strangled the lion. Utilizing its own claws, he claimed its invincible golden fur as body armor. This fragrance unfolds with scent notes that mirror the mythical creature's resilience and the triumphant ingenuity displayed by Heracles in the face of an apparently insurmountable challenge.
In gratitude for its unexpected role in attempting to kill Heracles, Hera immortalized the Nemean Lion as the constellation Leo—a celestial tribute, forever commemorating the cunning beast's place among the stars. Untamed yet boldly unique, Argos Nemean Lion is an opulent fragrance that commands attention. Nemean Lion opens with Subtle Bergamot, Raspberry, and Saffron. It then transitions into a powerful heart of Intense Elemi, Osmanthus, and Leather. Base notes of Warming Oud, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Nagarmota, and Vetiver produce a wildly unique and attractive aroma.
