  Rich aroma; almost makes me want to devour the person wearing it. Very intense and long-lasting. Ideally, apply it in small doses.

  I love that this fragrance outperforms both Aramis Devin and JHL, although to be honest, it doesn’t quite take my fancy. It smells clean and nothing unpleasant, but there’s something that doesn’t quite sit right. The first thing that came to mind was the Menem baby cologne. It’s dry, but less rancid than the two Aramis I mentioned. Like them, almost everyone on the English version of Fragrantica compares it to Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir, so it could pass as a women’s perfume. It leaves me a bit indifferent, but I’ll give it a second chance (unlike Devin and JHL, which I’ve already ruled out).

  It surpasses the Devin and JHL from Aramis, yet I still don’t like it. It smells clean, not unpleasant, but… something’s off. The first thing I recall is the Menem baby cologne. It’s dry, less musty than the other two Aramis. Almost everyone on Fragrantica compares it to Clinique’s Aromatics Elixir, so it passes off as a women’s fragrance. It leaves me indifferent, but I’ll give it a second chance (not the other two).

  An interesting and, watch out, a bit unusual blend. I love that exotic touch that makes you want to keep smelling it to discover it. It’s not for day or night; it suits any moment. It’s potent and leaves a long trail, in my opinion. The trick is to use a little, so you add mystery.

  A curious and fascinating blend. That exoticism hooks me; I want to keep smelling it to decipher it. It’s neither day nor night wear; it works at any time. It’s potent with a strong trail. The trick is to use a small amount to add mystery.

  I’ve been wearing this for a month and I’m afraid they’ve diluted it. Yesterday, after five sprays post-shower, barely anything was detectable after 90 minutes. Has anyone with a fresh bottle noticed this? I forgot to mention the sulfurous opening: it starts like alcohol on a wound, a rare aldehydic note, akin to boiling water. The scent itself is lovely—a classic, wearable woody floral—but the longevity and projection are disappointing for Lauder; perhaps too mild for today’s standards.

  After using it on several occasions over a month, I’ve reached a conclusion… and I’m much afraid this perfume has been diluted. My last test was last night; I already suspected something. Freshly showered, I applied five sprays, three on the neck and one on each wrist. After an hour and a half, I could barely smell it… Has any Aramis 900 user had the chance to try a recently purchased bottle? In my previous review, I forgot to note the sulfurous touch of Aramis 900; the first thing you feel upon spraying is something like pouring alcohol on a minor wound or abrasion, a peculiar almost-aldehydic sensation, like water at the very instant it begins to boil. This perfume has been a great disappointment regarding longevity and projection, which has surprised me greatly coming from Lauder… the scent is wonderful, a classic-cut woody floral chypre but very wearable today… perhaps too wearable given current fragrance durability standards.

  Twin brother of Clinique’s Aromatic Elixir, just different presentation and year of creation. It is of a well-structured beauty and excellent durability, with an elegant, sensual, and supreme bearing. A powerful woody-sweet-earthly tone that, although for men, women can use it just as well. Simply divine, divine. A long time ago, I kept half of this Aramis and half of an Aromatic Elixir, mixed them in the Aramis bottle (which is not a spray but a screw cap), and now imagine the bomb of oil and power that is there; with a little bit, I have enough to smell all day long.

  Well, this is another of the perfumes with which I find it difficult to be objective, mostly because it proposes an aroma from other eras. It must be highlighted that it will not please those who only live in the world of modern perfumes. I think I was born in the wrong era because what I like is this type of aromas that have to do with other decades and other ways of understanding life. Very floral and penetrating opening, ideal for those who do not know what they are exposing themselves to, which later, however, relaxes and shows a beautiful, very talcum-powdery rose among subtle woods and green notes. The diffuse and soapy, very white tone reminds me a lot of other colognes like Tabac. It is elegant, sixties masculinity in one of its purest stages. Created in 1973 in cologne concentration, its spirit and strength are identical to those of the creations of this era: things like the colognes of YSL Pour Homme and other creations heir to old-school men’s perfumery: subtle aroma and discreet trail; the idea that a man could smell heavily of perfume did not arrive until the late 70s. On my skin, it has quite a hold; of course, I must say that I overapply with joy. It certainly does not possess an expansive atmosphere, but it provides for hours that intimate touch of good smell and cleanliness thought for short distances when a gust of wind blows or when you adjust your scarf. A class detail like wearing cufflinks or a handkerchief in the breast pocket of the jacket.

  ARAMIS 900 is sold as an Eau de Cologne but it is not true that it is one. It is, at the very least, a proper Eau de Toilette. I am convinced that they baptised it as cologne because in 1973 men had to talk about colognes and never about perfumes, a term reserved exclusively for women. Not even the denomination Eau de Toilette was considered masculine enough to use. To this day, this denomination has remained as it is with TABAC and a few others, but without that corresponding to the concentration of the essence within the preparation. As for the olfactory family, it is true that the line separating chypres from fougères is sometimes very imprecise, but in the case of ARAMIS 900, I believe the olfactory family is a proper Fougère. On the other hand, I feel that its strength has been reduced compared to the 1973 version, as the current version is quite bearable. And I say quite, taking into account that its aromatic accord has nothing to do with what is successful with the public and sales today. ARAMIS 900 is a green, bitter perfume with sharp citrus and forest flowers. Since I have the luck of knowing other perfumes from the Aramis line, I can make a very succinct summary of all of them. ARAMIS ORIGINAL is a beautiful aldehydic chypre and for me is the favourite of this entire Aramis line. ARAMIS HAVANA is a fairly typical leather with spicy notes. ARAMIS NEW WEST FOR HIM is an aromatic balsamic with an intense thyme smell and camphorated notes. It was a surprise for me; it was the one I least expected and from which I got the most in proportion, both for its attractive aroma and its performance. ARAMIS 900 is the most difficult of them all and the one I like the least. To start with, ARAMIS 900 has a faecal-herbal or florhalitotic note that is not my cup of tea, although I clarify its presence because there are many people who adore this type of note. It is not that I am fussy about scatological notes, as I like oud, leather, or tobacco, all notes that are also somewhat ‘immoral’, but it is clear that each of us has our tastes and our cup of tea. And besides, this note so problematic for me remains imperturbable and with all its pride and vitality for quite some time. It is a type of note very much in the style of KOUROS and other perfumes of this wave. It is also true that when this note that I find unpleasant gradually dissipates, a beautiful classic barbershop perfume appears with its citrus, its herbs, its delicate flowers, and its woods, turning it into a clean, noble, and refreshing aroma. At this moment, everything is balance and moderation. ARAMIS 900 begins as a perfume I do not like to end as a fragrance I love, and this happens because it is a complex work of several facets and elaborate evolution. The basket of citrus based on a refreshing lemon and a crisp bergamot; the herd of selected herbs of lavender and vetiver; the bouquet of roses, jasmine, and lily of the valley. A base of sweet notes of sandalwood, amber, and patchouli, and rough notes of galbanum and moss round off the previous aromatic accord, reaching a very classic and very elegant ending. I cannot recommend it to people addicted to current perfumes without knowledge of aromas from the past because it will shock and disgust them. But I would recommend that they gradually get used to these aromas because otherwise they would lose great works of perfumery and the possibility of maturing and expanding their horizons. In the same way, I would recommend that apart from reading manga comics and listening to Latin techno, they gradually read García Márquez and listen to at least soul or blues, because staying only in the current and labelling everything else as old is as absurd and brainless as getting stuck in the Beatles or Mecano or flower-power. I think it is better to know everything, respect everything, and then choose, but open to future changes.

  This fragrance is like a labyrinth with a treasure at the centre. It’s like a telenovela. Yes! A good Mexican telenovela 🙂 where at the beginning there is suffering, but at the end comes the reward, the prize, the joy. The opening might put back the less experienced in the world of old-school perfumes. To me, it seems more of a floral chypre than a woody chypre, but in fine, those are trifles compared to the magnificence of this cologne that opens with a bouquet of flowers: roses and carnations, and an animalic whiff like the sweat of a horse that has rubbed its body on a flower meadow, plus that very Aramisian note, something like camphorated-aldehydic woods that impregnate a characteristic DNA in all the Aramis I have tried. Ah! But if you can endure that opening with stoicism, with fortitude… in less than half an hour you will start to notice that a fresh, green, masculine, exquisite, slightly bitter but charming aroma emerges with increasing strength. More minutes and that transformation starts to draw a smile on your face. More minutes and you start wanting to smell and smell the arm, the shirt where the fragrance is sprayed. An addictive, evocative country aroma; it is a time machine that will make your heart tremble with joy for taking you back to the happy days of childhood where you could roll in the grass and eat wildflowers and hug and kiss your dog and your horse (for those who had or cared for horses in primary school). Although it is true that the trail and longevity are not what I imagine they were in the original formula, when you smell the opening of the current version, you will be glad it has stayed as it is. The dry-down is no longer scandalous; it is tender, forming an aura around you; it does not invade, it does not overwhelm anyone. Do not be afraid to overapply; pull a lot of air before doing it and quickly, quickly put on 8 or 10 sprays. You will want to run out of that room to find oxygen elsewhere, but the reward will come as the sweet climax of a beautiful song, the lullaby of a gentle rain that started with thunder and lightning.

  It’s a labyrinth with a treasure at the centre, like a good Mexican telenovela: there’s suffering at first, but eventually the reward arrives. The opening might scare novices; it’s more of a floral chypre than a woody scent. It opens with roses, carnations, and an animalic touch, like horse sweat in a meadow, plus those typical camphorated woods of Aramis. If you can bear the opening with patience, within half an hour a green, fresh, herbal, and charming scent emerges, slightly bitter. The more minutes pass, the more you want to smell your arm and shirt. It’s addictive, evoking the countryside and transporting you back to childhood playing with flowers and animals. Although the current longevity isn’t the original, if you smell the dry-down you’ll be glad it is. The dry-down is no longer aggressive; it forms a tender aura without being overwhelming. Don’t be afraid to apply 8 or 10 sprays quickly; you’ll want to step outside for air, but the reward will arrive like the sweet climax of a song after the storm.

  These types of aromas are simply wonderful. Nothing to do with those of today. They make you think of people from before, when friendship was sacred and a handshake was more valuable than a signed letter in front of a notary. Those people in whom you could always trust and who were there for you at any hour. It is not an aroma for everyone; it is a bit difficult to assimilate, especially the opening. It is well-structured and transforms over time, revealing its true soul: elegant, sophisticated, and versatile. I think it is an excellent and underrated proposal that deserves more attention. Longevity and trail are acceptable on my skin; the dry-down is grandiose, seriously. Thanks, Bofifa.

  A beautiful and very complex fragrance; I define it as a woody-floral, a very pleasant combination. It has the strength of classic wood perfumes but combined with the elegance of the rose scent. It is very complex, certainly, and confuses many because its opening is citrusy but fleeting; the dry-down evolves into wood and ends with a smell like rose or flowers. This complexity is what confuses many; the opening is not the best, but the dry-down is incredible. Preferred age range: over 25 years. An old-school perfume and very good, but not as strong; longevity and trail are moderate, four hours. Here the strong man shows a little sweetness and charm. I repeat, it is necessary to overcome the opening and give the dry-down a chance; let the perfume evolve in its cycle. Highly recommended for collectors who love old-school perfumes and complex fragrances where the main thing is not the pretty opening that disappears in thirty minutes, but the evolution of the fragrance over the hours, as these perfumes know how to do.

  A precious and very complex fragrance; I’d define it as a woody floral, a super-pleasant blend. It has the power of classic wood scents but with the elegance of a rose. It is complex, yes, and confuses some: the opening is citrusy but fades quickly, then evolves into wood and finally smells of rose or flowers. That complexity is what confuses many; the opening isn’t the best, but the dry-down is incredible. Recommended age: over 25. It’s an old-school fragrance, very good, but not overly strong; longevity and projection are moderate, around four hours. Here, the strong man shows a bit of sweetness and charm. I repeat: you must endure the opening and let the perfume evolve through its cycle. Highly recommended for collectors, lovers of old-school and complex fragrances, where the important thing isn’t a pretty opening that vanishes in thirty minutes, but the evolution of the fragrance over hours, something these perfumes know how to do.

  Scent: very good. Projection: very good. Longevity: good. Quality: very good. Blind buy: yes, if you like classics. 8/10. They might tell you it smells like grandma; it’s a classic, not for everyone, with that rose base making it more feminine but old-fashioned. However, those who know how to appreciate it sense that class and elegance. To wear with certain dresses and occasions.

  AROMA: VERY GOOD. PROJECTION: VERY GOOD. LONGEVITY: GOOD. QUALITY: VERY GOOD. BLIND BUY: YES IF YOU LIKE THE OLDIES. 8/10. THEY MIGHT TELL YOU YOU SMELL LIKE A GRANDMOTHER. IT IS A CLASSIC NOT FOR EVERYONE; IT HAS THAT ROSE BASE THAT MAKES IT MORE FEMININE BUT ANCIENT. HOWEVER, HE WHO KNOWS CAN APPRECIATE THAT CLASS AND ELEGANCE. TO BE WORN WITH CERTAIN OUTFITS AND OCCASIONS.

  It brought me a scent/memory that took me back to the 70s. The moment I smelled the atomiser, before even testing it, I was immediately reminded of typical feminine fragrances from those years. My mother used an infinite variety of scents identical or very similar to this: floral and talcum-powdered, with a dominant note in this case of rose, giving a sensation of dampness and freshness in an enclosed space. Only at the end, after a few hours, is a herbal and green base perceived, which I really like, but it’s at the end. It’s curious how it starts with a classic feminine aroma and ends with a dry-down that is also classically masculine. But for most of the time, the rose predominates. I could wear Youth Dew without hesitation, but not this.

  It brought me an aroma/memory that took me back to the 70s. The moment I smelled the atomiser before trying it, it immediately reminded me of typical feminine fragrances from those years. My mother used scents identical or very similar to this one on countless occasions: floral and talcum-powdery with a dominant note that, in this case, is the rose, giving a sensation of dampness and freshness in a closed room. Only at the end, after a few hours, is a herbal and green base perceived, which is very much to my liking, but it’s at the end. It’s curious how it starts with a classic feminine aroma and ends with a dry-down that is also classically masculine. But for the majority of the time, the rose predominates. I could wear ‘Youth Dew’ without hesitation, but this is not it.

  Its opening is very powerful and of great quality, although that force might put some people off a bit. That strong beginning reminds me of many things… something akin to Aromatic Elixir, a breeze of Giorgio Beverly Hills For Men, slightly citrusy and a bit chaotic at the start. Then, once it calms down, it has reminded me of the deep rose and chypre of Paloma Picasso, perhaps not with the same intensity, but it is present. What a wonderful dry-down! Without being as long-lasting or potent as its opening, it has a duration of about four hours on the skin. Everything is worth it in this fragrance. Its legacy, the history of this type of aroma, its quality, the mastery in the use of its components, its superb dry-down: aromatic, slightly herbaceous, and floral. What quality! You must know it, yes or no.

  A woody rose for the romantic gentleman. It’s a pity that the Aramis line in general gets so little press (save for the Original or the Havana). They have a product with a brutal price-to-quality ratio, and let’s talk about the current formula; I don’t even want to think about the old ones. Do you have to like rose? Without a doubt, it’s the heart of the fragrance. Is it similar to Aromatic Elixir? Yes, but less earthy and not quite as dramatic; here the patchouli has to share its presence with the woods, and the chamomile is swapped for rose. They are brothers made by the same nose. Is it feminine or masculine? To me, it’s unisex, and who cares? It smells wonderful, and you can have a myriad of women trapped around you wondering what you’re wearing. Is the civet pronounced? Yes, it’s animalic, but it doesn’t smell like indole or sweat or anything weird; in fact, I think it gives the floral bouquet a certain personality. In terms of performance: Aramis opens powerfully with a dry, pricking rosewood note that is sharp to the nose, but don’t worry, this dissipates little by little to reveal a spicy woody side with citrus notes in the distance. The geranium/clove combo rises quickly, blending with a fine dose of white florals. The great star is about to debut: ‘The Rose’. A rose with woody traces left over from the beginning and with the dampness of the moss starting to emerge in front of it. The patchouli serves as escort; it has presence but doesn’t want to overshadow the others. The best part: when it settles on the skin, the woods calm down, the animalic side ignites the rose, and the amber side makes it creamier. The green notes that were difficult for me to perceive before now make sense. After half an hour, I smell: soft rose, woods, semi-spicy tones, civet, patchouli/moss, green notes. The trail is high-moderate for the first hour, then it stays close to the skin (it’s not a fragrance that projects wildly in its entirety). The longevity reaches six hours on my skin. Afterwards, a very subtle hint of moss and flowers remains. I think mixing the green forest of Devin and adding the woody rose of the 900 must be glory. I loved the dry-down immensely; the fragrance gets better and better as it develops.
