Introduction

Argos, the niche fragrance house renowned for its mythological inspirations, returns in 2025 with Neptune's Trident. Created by perfumer Christian Petrovich, this unisex extrait de parfum plunges into the realm of the sea god, but instead of a briny aquatic, it delivers a surprising twist: a citrus-and-tea opening over a woody, ambergris-laced base.

The fragrance is positioned in Argos' growing portfolio as a fresh yet sophisticated offering. With notes of bergamot, green tea, jasmine sambac, and a rich foundation of iris, sandalwood, and labdanum, Neptune's Trident aims for versatility while maintaining the house's signature complexity. Priced between $200 and $300, it enters a competitive segment of the market, but early impressions suggest it offers solid value for an extrait concentration.

In this review, we break down the scent's evolution, performance, and where it fits in your collection. Based on verified data from Argos, we present a factual assessment of this eagerly awaited release.
