Which Should You Buy?
A divisive classic that splits opinion between an artful, unique aquatic and a dated, harsh mess. The original 80s trailblazer, New West, is still turning heads, for better or worse, with its powerful green and woody marine vibe.
A budget clone of Aramis New West for Him, the first-ever aquatic. The soapy herbal pine-and-ocean-mist character lands recognisably, though Perfume Parlour renders the vintage original's distinctive calone freshness simpler and shorter-lived.
