Neptune's Trident

Bright year-round daily driver. This is especially great for weather like I'm experiencing in Utah, with cold sunny mornings where the sun shines all day with heat under the light but cold breeze passing by that spins this back to the refreshing profile. Not, honestly, an exclusive summer/spring, even more so if yo are indoors most of the day. Imagination comparison is wild. This is much greener and floral even, with a comfortable tea approach with a soft iris backbone. Yes, the iris is very obvious to me, and I do not see many mentioning it. I do pick up, however, a parallel with Wulong Cha but I prefer Neptune's over it and it may be presentation and brand bias because the Nishane is just as good! First time I tested it I only got to enjoy it once it began drying down. However, this is not the case now and I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Wears presently for good 5-6h and I stretch the longevity a bit because of the on-skin detectability as a skin scent. It accompanies me easily for most of my commitments, which usually don't last over 3-4 hours so getting 7-8h on skin is certainly a plus. Sillage is better than the projection, but again, I have not worn this in the heat/dead of summer yet - it has more nuance that what I like to wear if I'm out and exposed to the sun. Wears more mature, too, which is good in my case, around 25yo and over. Price is okay, but I only really invested because I have other Argos and couldn't pass up on the opportunity when I found it for around $260. That's the price point I'm invested in for these Extraits, and Neptune's is one I'm growing to like more and more.

Edit: I've ran this scent for about a year now, I've gone through my 30ml bottle and am now getting a 100ml bottle. There's something special about Neptunes Trident that my nose loves. I've tried imagination, wulong cha, pomelo oolong and many many other tea scents. This one just does it for me and is my signature summer time scent right next to le sel d'issey. I absolutely love this scent. Neptunes Trident is a very fresh, smooth and calming fragrance. I don't really get much of an aquatic scent from this but I do however get the tea note heavily on me mixed with the musk and its amazing. The opening tends to be a little sharp with the citrus at first but the dry down is absolutely addicting to me. Despite it being an extrait, it only lasts for about 6-7hrs with about 1hour of strong projection before it dies down to moderate and after about 3hrs its a skin scent on me. The performance is unfortunately its biggest downfall but even still the scent profile is a 10/10 in my opinion. If you like fresh tea forward frags, I think you'll like this for sure, but as with most costly fragrances, get a decant first and live with it for a bit. Solid 10/10 summer fragrance from Argos that I will be keeping in my rotation.

Tea and citrus freshy. I dont think its similar to other tea smells on the market. Tried a decant and had to buy a bottle. Pricey, I wouldnt want to pay full retail. But I'd say that for ANY 100ml that's over £200. I get a decent performance, certainly not a poor performer. Sillage isn't fantastic but I've had several compliments early into a wear. Extraits sit closer to the skin, its not supposed to fill the room. I get 6 hour plus skin scent. I always carry a decant of what i wear and ill top this up at least once a day to get that pop and opening. I've got 100ml of the 2nd batch and didn't notice any difference from the 1st run. Spring and summer, day or night. Anytime, any event, for me. Fresh, Light, interesting and sexy. The blend is a spot on. Its bright all the way through. I find ALL the popular white floral, fruity scents too feminine. I dont find anything in this feminine, but, I'm pretty certain I'd like it on a women. Its not overly masculine while being a male scent. First experience of the House and I'm very impressed. The bottle is art. Hand painted plaque. Beautiful details. 9.6 Don't listen to influencer's. Always try before you buy

Neptune's Trident is a magnificent fragnance haunted by it's terrible performance. If you thought that Imagination by Louis Vuitton has tap water longevity, wait till you try Neptune's Trident. It's gone after 3 hours. DO NOT believe people who will tell you it has good performance because it doesn't. Even people who love this fragrance (like me) can wholeheartedly admit that the performance is unacceptable for the price point. The presentation of the box and the bottle is marvelous. Argos clearly knows how to present their product, yet they failed at making it last longer. Not every fragrance is meant to last long but asking a premium price tag for a fragrance with little to no sillage and longevity of tap water is beyond me. The scent profile is enchanting; it outdoes the Imagination by a MILE, unfortunately, it falls short at other departments. Spare yourself a disappointment, buy a decant and try it out, it is certainly worth that much but not a premium price point for a bottle.

It’s valid to critique the longevity and projection of this but the scent is one of the better tea fragrances on the market. Niche heads will say something like Wulong Cha or Neroli Outrenoir are better but those smell like an actual cup of brewed herbal tea. Which is a great smell but starts to get in that realm of being so artistic that it isn’t even a cologne anymore.. it’s an attempt at capturing photo realism in a bottle. I love Neptunes Trident! Because it incorporates the tea and other notes and still has that perfume aspect. Imagination does this too but differently. It’s bright and fresh with the citrus off the top. Almost has a sharpness like GFS. But then dries down into a very smooth citric tea. There’s a touch of fizzy sweetness to add some body to the smooth tea. It does turn into a soft skin scent by the 5-6th hour but during that times it’s so so good.. if the price is too high for the sub-par performance I get it, but scent alone is a 9/10.

Because it’s hard to get this perfume in Türkiye, I bought it blind and BOOOOM. Jackpot. Bullseye. Call it whatever you want, but this perfume is INCREDIBLE. From the very first spray, it sends a wave of happiness straight to your brain, and that joy takes over your entire body. I can’t compare it to Imagination. A more accurate comparison would be an orange-forward, enhanced version of Wulong Cha. It’s not a soapy or aquatic fragrance. I’d describe it as cardamom, bergamot, orange, and orange blossom locking arms with tea. As I spend more time with it, I’m sure it will reveal even more beautiful facets. A standing-ovation performance. For me, the throne of “best summer perfume” used to belong to Vibrato. “Hey Vibrato, get off the throne and salute the new King.” Neptune’s Trident — a masterpiece that fully deserves every last penny you pay for it.

Guess what the best thing about fragrances is? Everyone has a different nose. Personally I do not agree at all with the comments below me about “don’t believe the hype.” This fragrance opens with a citrus blast with a little bit of peppery-orange with slight tea in the background. Similar tea note you get from imagination and wulong cha. As it dries down I think the tea note becomes more prominent and thus turns into a fresh, clean scent, perfect for any occasions. You can dress this up, or dress it down. The main notes I get from this is orange citrus, pepper, tea, and vetiver which makes this a very clean and, imo, earthy fragrance. Wait until discounters for this one. Fragrance Neveah had told me that it would be on their site by end of July. This didn’t end up happening, but keep being patient if you are looking to buy this

Very enjoyable tea, citrus, musk fragrance. Christian does really good work with high quality ingredients that makes for a very nice end user experience. They put as much love into the juice as they do into the presentation. The owner of the house is also the creative director and a perfumer. That's a lot of money that can instead go towards presentation that otherwise wouldn't. In the end we as a consumer get more for our money than just a plain bottle that costs 15 cents to manufacture short of a magnetic cap. If we're going to spend anywhere north of ~$2-$3 per ml on a bottle, then I think that's nice touch that most houses can't afford. A lot of people are envious of other's passion because they are confused, ignore them.

Neptune's Trident is honestly one of the best-smelling fragrances I’ve ever tried. The citrus and green tea combo is super smooth, clean, and perfect for warm weather. It gives me a very similar vibe to Dior Homme Cologne — an incredible scent, but with really weak performance. It also reminds me of Wulong Cha and a few other fresh green tea niche fragrances, so it’s not the most original thing out there, but the quality is undeniable.(one of the best iv ever smelt) My only issue is the price with that performance. It smells amazing, but it sits close to the skin pretty quickly and doesn’t last much. For the price, I don’t think it’s really worth it, even though the scent itself is absolutely top 3 in whole collection

I really love this one. For me I get amazing, punchy citrus and powdery sandalwood, musk, and a little bit of that tea. I don't get any soapy notes from this at all. I'd have a bottle right now as my main summer fragrance if it didn't cost an arm and a leg. The only thing is that the performance isn't as good as I think it should for the price. I'd say it lasts around 4-6 hours on my skin but the projection is pretty weak starting around the 2 or 3 hour mark. That opening is heavenly though. I haven't smelled LV's Imagination yet but if that one has a better performance then I think I would favor LV because the scent profile is pretty much the same.

This scent for me is the perfect freshie. I am addicting to it. It gives off a calming fresh and aquatic, tea-like vibe. I stopped buying bottles for the most part, and out of hundreds of decants and samples, this is one of the only ones I immediately tore through. My singular complaint is that I wish this just lasted longer. The projection is mediocre, but it doesn’t even last too long as a skin scent. I have to make sure to apply it to clothes as well. If it weren’t for the poor longevity and sillage, this would be absolutely perfect. That said, I love the smell itself so much, I still bought the bottle and would give it a 10/10.

I don’t understand the hate on this perfume. It smells amazing! When I first tried it I got that it smelled a lot of vetiver and wasn’t so happy with it. After wearing it for months my opinion changed it evolved into a more sweet orange tea with hints of lavender drying down with lite vetiver. Overall, worth the purchase definitely a strong candidate for the summer heat and an office scent for sure. To truly enjoy this perfume I recommend spraying it on skin and not rubbing it or tapping it with your wrists.

I don’t understand the comparison to Wulong Cha or Imagination. This kind of feels like it own aquatic, tea fragrance. For me, this smells 10/10 - one of the best smelling freshies to date. The issue is the performance. It becomes a skin scent within 60-90 minutes. After a few more hours, I can barely smell in on my skin. It persists on clothes just fine, but the price point should at least mean some more performance. It’s unfortunate since I’m addicted to the way it smells.

This smells phenomenal--kinda like a cross between Nio and AdP Essenza--it's a great addition to the summery/citrusy/neroli/tea genre. Performance is amazing; lasts around 12 hours for me, and even the citrus notes last for several hours. Price, however, is insane ($214 for 30 mL/$355 for 100 mL), so don't pay retail if you can get away with it. This just hit discounters, so I scooped up a 100 mL FB for <$300.

I swear the people hating on this fragrance are competitors because anyone who says this is a skin scent are either liars who never tried this masterpiece or they have more chest hair than chewbacca. This stuff is beast mode on my skin & lasts for a better part of the day. All I can say is, get your nose on this. This is everything LV imagination tried to be.

first Argos i have ever tried and i love it! i understand the hype around this house. a beautiful spicy and grassy opening and then the drydown smells like a fancy and luxurious hotel soap. green tea is an underrated fragrance note. it smells fantastic in the fragrances i have smelt it in. a very nicely crafted frag. it's a banger!

This smells very familiar. This is like a fusion between Armani's The Yulong and Bvlgari Pour Homme EDP. Its a good scent for heat. doesnt project well in the cold weather. This might not be a safe blind buy but its def not that original. High quality scent tho for sure.

An absoulutely stunning scent. The opening is somewhat green, but that dry down gives you that refreshing and smooth base. Despite singing its praises, I will say that I do consider for it to be overpriced for what it is.

The first 2–3 hours, the citrus was drowning out everything else, but once it receeed, it left behind a really nice soft tea-centered perfume.

This is what Imagination wishes it was, for all the people who aren’t boring and the same as everyone else
