Which Should You Buy?
Aramis Havana is a bold, untamed classic that's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's a proper man's fragrance, eschewing modern trends for a blast of spicy tobacco and earthy green that certain types absolutely adore. Don't blind buy unless you're ready for an unapologetically vintage vibe.
This is a seriously polarising scent - some love its quirky, herbal take on barbershop freshness, while others find it a "nauseating" headache. If you like something a bit weird and wonderful, worth a sniff, but avoid if you're sensitive to synthetics or want a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and distinct, retro character make it less suitable for a typical office. However, it's a solid choice for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated. It's a bit too bold for casual daytime wear unless you aim to make a statement.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and fresh, green character make it a decent casual or sport option, though some find it can be strong initially. However, the strong cannabis note might be too controversial for formal settings or the office, despite its eventual 'after shower' clean dry down.
