900

Name: 900 Eau de Parfum
Brand: Aramis

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

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Citral Geranial from Lemon
Geraniol from Rose
Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

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.
