ARE008 EAU DE PARFUM

//

[Ares]

A fragrant expression of Ares - the battle-stiffened God of War, Brawling, Fighting, Violence and Brutality.

Bloodthirsty Ares of the Golden Reigns is trouble.

A savage brut who [in every moment other than in bed with APHRODITE] lives only for clashes and quarrels, wreaking havoc on and beyond Olympus.

The fragrance is a clash of notes from the battlefield - each fighting for top spot.

A surprising [but fleeting] opening of raspberry [the tart red juicy note, a nod to bloodshed and the sweet spoils of victory] quickly gives way to a coppery, metallic and leathery heart - a sword pulled from its sheath.

The accord is strengthened by the base of oakmoss, patchouli and amber - all forces to be reckoned with in their own right.
