Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Amazon link to Aramis: amzn.to/2FfNF9P
Launched globally in 1966, Aramis has been a perennial fragrance favourite of men for over 50-years and understandably so - it is undeniably strong, classic and emits a musky, leathery scent that screams masculinity and ruggedness.
Here is my personal assessment of this classic mens fragrance.

I'd ordered a bottle of Aramis (original) and it arrived in my mailbox today. 'Couldn't wait until morning to check it out. I'm just loving the scent of it, 'truly loud in a way that only a vintage fragrance can be. Do you have any experience with the other versions that Aramis has released over the years? Such as 900 or Havana or others?

A very enjoyable review. Well done! Aramis was my first 'proper' fragrance in the late 1970s during my teenage years. My girlfriend of the time decided she'd had enough of my horrid cheapo fragrances (Denim, Hai Karate, Brut 33, etc) and so she upped my game considerably by purchasing a bottle of Aramis for my birthday. Thus began my lifelong love affair with perfume....

Wow Aramis for meus a fragrance that comes and goes in my life but is never forgotten or ignored.

It's something after seeing your excellent video that will soon be going back in my fragrance drawer.

It is, without doubt, one of the all time classics for chaps. There will always be a place for Aramis in my collection. And extremely modestly priced to boot!!
Absolute classic. My dad bought Aramis back in the 80s and he used it for years. A beautiful chypre.
Hello Chap’s Guide. I enjoyed your review of Aramis very much. Aramis has been my signature fragrance since the mid 70s. I remember a female classmate in high school was the first to compliment my Aramis fragrance so from that moment on it has been special to me. I have evolved over the years to prefer Aramis during the cooler months as you mentioned. In the warmer months I prefer Tabac by Maurer & Wirtz, a much lighter fragrance. I have recently added the Tom Ford fragrance “Blanking” Fabulous” as my third fragrance. It is for very special occasions and in my opinion it is fabulous!! Thank you for your videos.

I think Aramis has stood the test of time rather well - still quietly confident and slightly sophisticated!
I have used this in the past. Good stuff!
Just blind-bought this and sprayed it on myself. It is powerfully masculine. I would recommend two sprays of this at most to avoid overwhelming others. However I think this is a really nice and seductive smell. I still prefer Polo Green to fill the masculine throwback slot of my arsenal--it's fresher, just as masculine, and smells less like you're *trying* to smell masculine--but this would work in different contexts, especially dates and social gatherings, if you use it sparingly.
Aramis is pure male hormones in a bottle; I've been wearing Aramis for a very long time, it's so classic and manly, a powerful juice that radiates sophistication and pedigree in a high status, I just love this fragrance, and I also keep Aramis along with its cousin Quorum that together became my most beloved fragrances ever, for fall and winter nothing can suit better than Aramis and/or Quorum, and for the summer Agua Brava and Brummel .............. you cannot get more macho than this.

ARAMIS was found among Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s belongings - neatly packed in his overnight suitcase - on the day he was assassinated in April 1968. It was the quintessential mid-late sixties urbane masculine fragrance, and many celebrities of that time wore it, from MLK to Robert Kennedy, to the ‘Rat Pack’ (it was famously also Sammy Davis Jr’s signature fragrance, as well as Dean Martin’s and Peter Lawford’s - but Frank Sinatra reputedly detested it because it was so ubiquitous in Hollywood, Broadway, and the Las Vegas strip; he favoured lighter scents like 4711, Yardley’s English Lavender, and Puig’s Agua de Lavanda instead).

I purchased a bottle of Aramis recently. It's a wonderful scent. The first time I put it on, my wife said, "That's really nice."

It unfortunate though, like many classic fragrances, has been 'watered down' (due to restricted and substituted ingredients), their formulations are a shadow of what they used to be. However, unless anyone had experience of if back in the day, they'd appreciate Aramis now for what it is - an enduring classic.

You say that this is definitely not unisex, and I understand why, but you should try Cabochard by Gres for women . . . pretty similar smell and by the same perfumer.
after about 5 years of wearing lighter, aqua modern scents, I must say I’m a bit burnt out on them. Still good for warm weather, but I’m loving these older masculine scents. Aramis, Yatagan, even Davidoff Zino smell amazing. I’m even getting into fragrances with leather/musk notes. And yes, you must be mindful of the amount of sprays. The younger ladies seem to be more attracted to modern fruity scents, but I’d rather smell it on them than me.
Pacco Rabbane Pour Homme for summer, Aramis for winter.... Masculine set!
Just smelled it ladt week on a vacation in Gran Canaria, a bloke standing in line blew me away with it in that heat, i asked my wife if the liked it, and to my surprice sha said it was actualy realy good, smelled soapy clean, but she was werry shocked when i told her what frag it was.

I actually despise blue-faced watches, but that's as matter of preference. I also love smooth-bezel'd DJs on Oyster. But the classic dimensions are a must! I have my father's 16013 reference 2-tone, which I seldom wear owing to its being precious to me, but I'm definitely pulling the trigger on a contemporary DJ soon. They look so much nicer now than they used to. I did impulsively buy, when I first got into watches 4 yrs ago, a Sub (boring) & DJ 41 (big), which I immediatrely regretted & returned. I do wish Rolex would come out w/ the OysterQuartz line again, as I very much prefer battery to mechanical.

I have a Sub and a few other pieces, but to be honest the DJ keeps calling out to me over these other, so called more desirable watches. You should embrace your heirloom watch and wear it as often as possible - they bring such joy ( and memories) when worn against the skin. Best regards, Ash

I have a bottle and it will be coming up!!
I was wearing Aramis cologne in August 1978 when my girlfriend dumped me. I was devastated. So now I have mixed feelings about it!😀

Sorry to hear that, but it remains a favourite for millions and a true classic.

Eh, nevermind her. She didn’t appreciate you! 😎
Just got this 2 days ago. When first sprayed I got this blast of cinnamon, alot like Big Red gum, wife also thought the same. Then it dried down to just smelling really powdery, with that Big Red cinnamon gum smell still lurking in the background. Didn't get any woodsy or leather notes in this either, especially given the fact, that after sprayed on wrist scent is gone in 25 minutes. Expected a lot more with supposedly a classic fragrance. To me it's very weak, and will never repurchase again. I own Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Drakkar Noir, Hugo Boss Man, and Brut, to me all great fragrances that pack a serious punch. Aramis doesn't even have the strength and longevity that Brut splash on has.

That does not sound like Aramis. You may have a dud bottle.

It’s the OG of mens fragrances. Wear it and start a trend.
In the original paco rabanne vein.
It’s certainly not a square bottle!! Seriously though, I’m asking Santa for one this year 🎅🏼
Aramis is a true fragrance for a man and has no resemblence to the scent of a bouquet of flowers for grandma.
