Aramis Aramis Special Blend is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Aramis Special Blend opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha and Whisky, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Tonka Bean, Cashmeran, and Ambertonic™ (IFF). Aramis's Aramis Special Blend carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive one. Fans of the original Aramis will either love this modern, boozy take or feel it strays too far from its roots. For those seeking a warm, masculine scent with a whisky kick, it's a solid choice.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for evenings and formal events where it won't overwhelm. The boozy and warm notes lend themselves well to date nights and casual autumn wear, but it's a bit too heavy for the office or sport.

About

Opening with a lively pop of bergamot and the warm spice of cinnamon, Aramis Special Blend quickly introduces a rich, boozy heart of whisky, softened by the earthy undertones of cypriol. As it settles, a comforting blend of cashmeran and tonka bean emerges, creating a smooth, almost creamy warmth. Cedarwood anchors the scent, providing a classic, refined masculinity with a touch of ambertonic adding a modern depth.
