Aramis New West is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1988, created by Harry Frémont. New West opens with Caraway, Sea Water, Bergamot, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Pine, Jasmine, Geranium, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Cedar. Aramis's New West carries a Statement verdict, a green-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.

Scent Profile

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.

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.
