How it unfolds
-
Citrus and raspberry
Bergamot and lemon open bright, and raspberry and pepper follow quickly, fruit and spice in the same breath. It is a lively start with a tart edge, and the contrast with what comes later is large, because the rest of the perfume is far darker.
-
Violet over leather
Violet and jasmine form the floral heart, but leather and pink peppercorn are already running through it, so the flowers never stand alone. The cool powder of violet and the warmth of jasmine are held in place by the first leather accent.
-
Oud, birch, vanilla
The base is dark and dry: leather again, with oud, birch and musk, and vanilla softening the edges. The brand describes the oud as smoky, and the birch adds to that impression. The vanilla keeps the finish from turning harsh; it sits quietly underneath.
Wearing it
When, who and why
Evenings and colder months
This is a perfume for the evening or for colder months, because a leather and oud base needs space. Apply it to the chest or the back of the neck. With a base this heavy, two sprays are a good place to start, and a third is rarely needed.
Who will enjoy it
Unisex, says the brand, and meant for people who like leather, oud and birch but want citrus, raspberry and violet at the front rather than a purely dark scent. If you prefer soft, powdery or sweet perfumes, the base will probably feel too dry and smoky.
Why choose Argos Bacio Immortale
The brand names Christian Petrovich, who founded Argos in 2014, as the perfumer of Bacio Immortale. The 100 ml bottle carries the newer formulation and a colourful artwork plate, which the brand says exist only in this size.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does Bacio Immortale mean?
The name means 'immortal kiss'. Argos links it to the myth of Eros and Psyche, whose love survived trials as far as the underworld and ended with Psyche being made immortal.
Is this the original formulation?
The brand says the 100 ml bottle carries the newer formulation and a colourful artwork plate. The 30 ml size keeps the original, so the two sizes differ.
Is oud the main note?
It is one of several dark base notes, alongside leather, birch and musk. Citrus, raspberry and violet also shape the scent, so it is not a pure oud perfume.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
