#300 - Triumph of Bacchus by Argos: A Female's Perspective

The Cologne Podcast

Ever smelled something that reminds you of food leftovers? We sure have, and on our 300th episode of the Cologne Podcast, returning guest Nikki joins us to revisit a fragrance that's as nostalgic as it is controversial. We find ourselves laughing over a review comparing it to Thanksgiving leftovers and fondly remember Nikki's kitchen skills. As we move on to our one-night stand review of M. Micallef's Red Colorado, we agree it's decent yet not a standout in their lineup, with Nikki taking us on a nostalgic journey to Estes Park, Colorado, adding a personal touch to the episode.
We then explore "Triumph of Bacchus," a scent that dances between sweet white peach, boozy rum, and creamy vanilla, and debate its daring bottle design. A fragrance that seems to have split opinions on its appeal, we liken it to a peach Jolly Rancher. Our conversation takes a fun turn discussing similar scents like Carlisle and Red Tobacco, and our evolving candy preferences. This exploration of "Triumphal Bacchus" wraps up with a hint of green apple and saffron, painting the full picture of this unique olfactory experience.
