Athena Fragrances launched Midas in 2022 — and it was a brilliant move. A masculine fragrance rooted in the spicy, wood, and balsamic families. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Brand country — Egypt, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Midas Athena Fragrances unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Midas unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Athena Fragrances is clear from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.
The stylistic positioning is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a architectural woody mood: Ambergris, Cedar, Coriander, Cumin, Jasmine, Labdanum and Tar. In this case 7 notes work as one integrated frame, creating clear woody framework that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The middle and base stages are read as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Ambery, Wood, Spicy and Whiteflower. It also reaches into Balsamic. At family level the scent maps to Balsamic, Spicy and Wood.
In summary Midas holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
