Aramis Aramis is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1966, created by Bernard Chant. Aramis opens with Clover, Bergamot, Gardenia, and Myrrh, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Jasmine, Orris, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Sandalwood. Aramis's Aramis carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

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.

About

Aramis kicks off with a sharp, aldehydic burst, laced with green, herbal notes like thyme and artemisia. Soon, a rich tapestry of earthy patchouli and moss emerges, underpinned by a prominent, rugged leather accord. Hints of spice and subtle sweetness from amber and coconut round out this deeply aromatic and woody chypre, leaving a lasting, commanding presence.
