Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper time capsule, polarizing opinion but cherished by old-school enthusiasts. Forget the modern gunk; if you want a classic aromatic powerhouse with barber shop vibes, get your hands on a vintage bottle.
This legendary classic is either a cherished emblem of unapologetic masculinity or a dated, urine-soaked relic of a bygone era. It's a divisive powerhouse: love it for its bold, animalic leather and complex herbal chypre, or hate it for its perceived 'old man' smell. One thing's for sure: Aramis isn't subtle.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Older formulations of Pour Lui have considerable projection and longevity, making it less suitable for a casual office environment. However, its sophisticated and clean-yet-complex profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights, where its powerful presence can be appreciated. Newer formulations are much weaker, making them more versatile for office or casual wear but sacrificing the 'powerhouse' aspect.
