Argos Pallas Athene is a bold, radiant, and empowering Eau de Parfum inspired by Gustav Klimt’s iconic portrayal of the goddess Athena, blending sparkling citrus, elegant florals, powdery iris, Mysore sandalwood, and warm amber to create a truly commanding feminine aura.

Pallas Athene stands among the inaugural creations in the Argos Artist Series I, inspired by the 1898 masterpiece painted by Gustav Klimt. In this artwork, the Greek goddess of wisdom, justice, art, and courageous strength is immortalized with striking symbolism and regal presence.

Klimt, the founder and president of the revolutionary Wiener Secession, chose Athena as the emblem of the movement. According to myth, Athena emerged fully armed from the mind of Zeus, her battle cry resonating across Olympus. On her aegis rests the golden head of Medusa, a powerful emblem of protection. In her hand she holds Nuda Veritas, meaning naked truth, while the backdrop reveals Hercules locked in battle with Triton.

This fragrance captures Athena’s essence in scent form, offering a balance of strength, elegance, and irresistible femininity. It opens with the brightness of Bergamot, Grapefruit, Red Berry, and Pink Peppercorn. The heart transitions into a floral bouquet of Peony, Hyacinth, Violet, and Rose Petals. The base reveals an alluring blend of Iris, Mysore Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Vanilla which creates a seductive and radiant finish.

The 30ml suits any occasion. The 100ml is for those who wear it as armor.
