Argos Fragrances Midas Touch is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Christian Petrovich. Midas Touch opens with Gurjun Balsam, Bergamot, and Tuberose, settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, Osmanthus, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Oud, Patchouli, and Benzoin. Argos Fragrances's Midas Touch carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet magnetic, Midas Touch is either a masterclass in modern opulence or an abrasive mess of rubber and bubblegum. It's certainly not a safe blind buy, but if you want to make a statement, this is it.

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.

Its potent projection and longevity, combined with its unique, bold character, make it entirely unsuitable for office wear. However, its intensity and sophisticated aura are perfectly suited for special evenings out and dates, commanding attention without being overwhelming in the right setting.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

Midas Touch opens with an unusual and intriguing blend of balsamic warmth from Gurjun Balsam, brightened by a hint of Bergamot, with Tuberose adding a touch of creamy floral intrigue. The heart reveals a rich, complex core where supple Leather intertwines with the classic elegance of Rose and the apricot-like sweetness of Osmanthus. As it settles, a deep, earthy foundation of Oud, Cypriol, and Patchouli emerges, softened by the resinous sweetness of Benzoin, creating a powerful and long-lasting trail.
