New fragrance release
Argos released La Dolce Vita Di Bacchus on November 5, 2026. The Extrait de Parfum is the fifteenth entry in the house’s Artist Series, which links each fragrance with a work of visual art. This edition refers to La Jeunesse de Bacchus, the large 1884 painting by French academic painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau.
The fragrance carries the painting’s Bacchic subject into a boozy coffee structure. Rum and coffee share the top level with juniper, cistus labdanum, and pink pepper. Davana, fenugreek, and jasmine form the heart. Styrax, benzoin, nagarmotha, sandalwood, and musk compose the base.

Rum, coffee, and juniper
Rum supplies the alcoholic reference associated with the perfume’s Bacchic theme. Coffee contributes roasted bitterness and gourmand associations. Juniper adds a dry aromatic quality connected with distilled spirits.
Cistus labdanum combines warm resinous qualities with ambery and leathery facets. This profile connects with the balsamic materials in the base. Pink pepper contributes a fresh spicy accent to the coffee and resin accord.
Davana, fenugreek, and jasmine
Davana has a fruity, herbal aroma with a wine-like aspect. Fenugreek carries associations with toasted seeds, nuts, and maple syrup. Jasmine provides a floral element among the aromatic and gourmand notes.
These materials develop the fragrance’s botanical and culinary character. Davana’s wine-like associations connect with rum, while fenugreek’s toasted qualities relate to coffee. Jasmine supplies the floral component of this part of the pyramid.
Resins, nagarmotha, and sandalwood
Styrax is associated with a balsamic, smoky aroma and leathery, vanillic facets. Benzoin contributes a sweet balsamic character. Both resins support the amber direction of the base.
Nagarmotha, also called cypriol, has an earthy, woody profile with dry smoky facets. Sandalwood contributes a creamy wood character. Musk completes the listed base with a soft accord.
Bouguereau’s Bacchus joins the Argos Artist Series
Bouguereau completed La Jeunesse de Bacchus in 1884. The painting depicts Bacchus among dancers, satyrs, nymphs, and musicians. Argos uses this scene as the artistic reference for Artist Series XV.
The Bacchus theme already appears in the Argos catalog through Triumph of Bacchus. La Dolce Vita Di Bacchus has its own pyramid of rum, coffee, aromatic herbs, and a resinous wood base. Its connection with Bouguereau’s painting establishes the artistic setting for this release.
