Aramis 900 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1973, created by Bernard Chant. 900 opens with Green, Bergamot, Lemon, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Aramis's 900 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a seriously divisive piece of kit. You'll either get a gorgeous, potent blast of old-school class, or it'll smell like an elderly relative's bathroom. Love-it-or-hate-it, but if you love it, you'll love it hard for its unique character.

Its bold, long-lasting projection makes it a bit much for the office. However, the rich, sophisticated notes and animalic undertones make it fantastic for dates and formal events, though some find it a bit too old-school for everyday casual wear.

About

It kicks off with a sharp, green, and citrusy punch, quickly joined by a dominant, sometimes 'aggressive' rose. This rich floral heart, featuring geranium and carnation, is underpinned by deep, earthy oakmoss and vetiver. As it settles, a distinctive animalic civet note emerges, mingling with warm amber and patchouli, creating a complex, mossy, and woody drydown that's both elegant and a bit wild.
