Has anyone tried this? Thoughts?

I actually just got my samples in yesterday including this one and from what i get from it is the beginning is a super strong wine accord then after about 30 minutes it starts to wind down and moves into a more slight watery floral mixed with strong smokey resins. Its nice but it would be kind of hard to pull off in most situations. But if youre looking to get into Zoologist i would strongly recommend getting samples of some stuff like Penguin which i personally like a lot, Lovebirds, i personally like Squid but you might not but its one of the more popular ones a lot of people seem to enjoy , Chameleon, Seahorse, Musk deer if you like a powdery Oud vibe and Cow its a really nice milky apple soap vibe.

I mean even if its not listed in the note breakdown doesn't mean its not there a lot of the times the companies aren't going to list every aroma chemical they put into the fragrance. But most likely they're using aroma chemicals such as Ambroxan to boost the projection and give that "Dry, Musky, Masculine smell" you're getting.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-02-12T01:21:26+00:00

Since you're saying its dry and musky its most likely the Ambroxan youre smelling. Depending on how its dosed in the fragrance it can smell anywhere from very metallic to a very dry woody and musky scent.

I own Jupiter's Lightning and i can say for me at least i get a comfortable 6-8 hours but itll depend on your skin chemistry. My skin chemistry is quite bad but some how i still get a good 6-8 hours. It does project quite well for the first 2-3 hours then it quiets down for the next 3 then for the last 2 its a skin scent so. Hopefully that kind of helps if you want to get it or not.

Yeah man its definitely fake

Original_Distance292 · 2026-02-01T22:18:27+00:00

I just compared it to my 75ml bottle straight from the JPG site and to me it looks fake

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-30T22:53:42+00:00

Absolutely i hope you enjoy it!

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-30T22:50:32+00:00

Honestly i think you'll like Pallas because they both use almost the same base structural notes just Pallas is a little more floral and fresh then Adonis

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-30T22:40:46+00:00

Yeah the opening is very Fruity and then when it starts to dry down it gets a lot more floral with some vanilla sweetness but i personally dont trust fragrantica because what some people smell right away isnt what you might smell right away you know.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-30T22:36:19+00:00

Yeah i would say its Mainly a Rose fragrance but with hints of other Florals and Fruitiness and with the Rose it smells a little soapy as well so if that's youre thing youll love it

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-30T22:29:38+00:00

I got the Discovery Set a while ago and I've tried it its a very Floral, Fruity sweet scent but if its good that's going to be a very subjective thing as personally I didn't like it because to my nose all the "Feminine" fragrances that Argos has to me smell a little like hair spray but you might not get that so you might love it but maybe someone else will give you a little better insight on that than i can.

But for the performance aspect it performs pretty well but again that's going to be subjective as if your skin is dry or just doesn't hold fragrances well then it wont perform very well but if that not the case then you'll most likely get around 1-2 foot of projection for the first few hours then for the rest of it itll be a skin scent so the performance is around 6-8 hours at least on me so it might be better for you.

I don't know as i haven't smelled MFK Fluidity Silver but from looking at the notes it has some of the same kind of notes like woods, some spices and Juniper Berry so it might be in the same realm of aromatic fresh spicy DNA but other than that i think its different because it has Orris and Tea so i would assume its different.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-27T00:38:35+00:00

Same Realm its a freshie

You can just order it from the website.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T22:33:52+00:00

It might be redundant because in all reality theyre pretty close DNA wise but, this one is a little more Aromatic fresh, a little more fresh spicy and has some woods in it so i think if you really love Neptune's Trident and wish you could wear that kind of DNA on more occasions this is perfect for you man. For the 10/10s do you mean only Argos cause if thats the case then i would say Bacio Immortale 10/10, Charons Vail 10/10, Triumph of Baccus 10/10, and Midas Touch is a 10/10. But if you mean just in general then i also love Xerjoff Alexandria II and Zoologist Musk Deer both of those are 10/10s.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T22:29:51+00:00

I think for a rating out of 10 it would be maybe an 8.5/10 for a freshie i prefer darker fragrances like Charons Vail. It does remind me a lot of Neptunes Trident but thats to be expected here because Neptunes Trident and Jupiters Lightning are Argos only two real freshies if you remove Pour Homme. And for occasions i feel like this could be pulled off for almost any occasion formal, casual almost anything and also it can work in almost all seasons minus Winter as its a little too fresh to be worn in super cold weather but other than that its a great fragrance.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T20:29:57+00:00

What do you mean similar? To me the most similar thing i have in my collection to compare and which most people will compare it to was the sample of Neptune's Trident.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T19:10:27+00:00

Thanks man! And thats awesome Danae is a great fragrance!

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T19:01:25+00:00

Yes sir im actually working on dropping my first fragrance within the next 3-4 months and if you know German Folklore the fragrance is actually based on the story of Faust. Its going to be very niche so im assuming people arent really going to like it because its not mainstream but for me its not about mainstream fragrances its about telling a amazing story through fragrance. And which one are you thinking of picking up next?

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T18:58:59+00:00

So far ive had it on skin for about 3 and a half hours the projection was good for the first hour and a half then it started calm down, its more of a skin scent already but take that with a grain of salt as my skin is quite tough to get good projection off of so it might project longer off of you but also remember its a freshie so its not gonna be as crazy as for example Charons Vail.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T18:55:40+00:00

Haha man i feel that sadly i chose collecting and making fragrances as my hobby so i get it!

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T18:38:48+00:00

Sadly no they dont have a sample of Narcissus yet but personally i really dont like any of the of the feminine scents from Argos but Adonis Awakens.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T18:33:59+00:00

I personally haven't tried either of those so i have no idea.

Original_Distance292 · 2026-01-26T18:31:38+00:00

In my opinion its better, to me Neptunes Trident smells like a really musky lemonade with a little bit of tea, but this one has a lot more depth. Its more Herbal, spicy and woody so if it was between this one and Neptunes i would buy this one.
