New West

by Harry Frémont

Aramis New West is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988, created by Harry Frémont. New West opens with Lavender, Caraway, Mint, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Bay Leaf, Jasmine, Juniper, and Watermelon, and dries down to a base of Leather, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Aramis's New West carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A divisive classic that splits opinion between an artful, unique aquatic and a dated, harsh mess. The original 80s trailblazer, New West, is still turning heads, for better or worse, with its powerful green and woody marine vibe.

Date

Its robust projection and longevity, combined with a prominent green and woody profile, make it less suitable for enclosed office spaces. However, its fresh and outdoorsy character is well-suited for casual wear and can even work for dates, though it might be too strong for formal events.

About

Imagine a cool, crisp sea breeze sweeping through a pine forest, with hints of fresh mint and the ghost of a juicy watermelon. This scent opens with invigorating marine notes and aldehydes, quickly joining a heart of juniper and pine that’s grounded by an earthy base of oakmoss, leather, and cedar. It's a complex interplay of rough outdoorsy freshness and classic masculine depth.
