Agonist
Three Agonist fragrances offer different introductions to the collection. The Infidel pairs blackcurrant, cumin, and bergamot with lavender, labdanum, and amber. Liquid Crystal is built around wormwood, spice, incense, vetiver, and cedar. Vanilla Marble develops vanilla, tiare, almond, fig, and benzoin.
About the brand
Agonist
Choose The Infidel to explore the spicy amber side of Agonist. Blackcurrant and bergamot create a bright opening, cumin adds dry spice, and lavender, tonka, and magnolia lead to patchouli, labdanum, and amber.
Liquid Crystal is drier and woodier. Bergamot, wormwood, and clove move into lavender, incense, and patchouli. Vetiver, labdanum, tonka, white amber, and cedar create a dense resinous drydown.
Vanilla Marble follows a softer route. Vanilla, tiare, and almond lead to fig, orchid, amber, and patchouli; vanilla returns in the base with tonka, benzoin, and sandalwood. Compare the three on skin, paying particular attention to the density of their drydowns: The Infidel settles into amber and labdanum, Liquid Crystal into vetiver and cedar, and Vanilla Marble into benzoin, tonka, and sandalwood.
