The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Explorer by ARgENTUM is a captivating Oriental Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumer Delphine Thierry. The composition opens with the bright zest of grapefruit and bergamot, creating an immediate freshness that cuts through its more complex layers. As it settles, labdanum and ambrette (musk mallow) add warmth and depth, while sichuan pepper and thyme introduce a subtle spicy herbal tension. Olibanum rounds out the base with woody musk notes, grounding the fragrance in a rich, enveloping embrace.
Apply Explorer in thin layers to allow its complexity to unfold gradually. The bright citrus notes will fade within a couple of hours, making way for the rich spiciness and warmth of the base. Ideal for cooler evenings when you want something both fresh and enveloping.
