Argos Fragrances Birth of Venus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Birth of Venus opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Orange Blossom, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Dark Chocolate, Rose, Jasmine, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Amber, Mysore Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Argos Fragrances's Birth of Venus carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly polarising beast, Birth of Venus is either an intoxicating fruity-floral powerhouse or a synthetic, sickly mess. Love it or hate it, it's definitely a statement maker, not for the faint of heart.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and longevity, Birth of Venus is too 'loud' for most office environments but perfect for a date or special evening event. Its playful yet sophisticated character makes it versatile enough for more dressed up casual outings, however, it's certainly not suited for sport due to its rich, sweet profile.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood oil Santalum Album Oil from Mysore Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Birth of Venus opens with a juicy burst of peach and raspberry, brightened by a hint of citrus and the gentle caress of orange blossom and lavender. This fruity-floral core is then deepened by a rich, dark chocolate accord, intertwined with romantic rose and creamy jasmine. The dry-down settles into a luxurious embrace of Mysore sandalwood, vetiver, and cashmere wood, rounded off with warm amber, giving it a sophisticated, long-lasting finish.
