They don’t do them like that any more – it is no coincidence that this classic Chant has survived so long – there aren’t too many other bitter leather chypres out there these days and we are in luck that this one is available here to demystify. The formula is full of big chunks of a few important material and then a lot of smaller quantities that round the composition off beautifully! To wear it, you almost need to be clad in leather but a thick woolen suit will also do (pipe is optional). Overall, a true masterpiece!
Greenstreet (verified owner) –
The original Aramis was an unmistakably masculine beast that exuded power and class, and smelled of old money. This is not a timid fragrance.
Like most of the old powerhouses, Aramis has suffered considerably through repeated reformulations, becoming a hollow shell of what it once was. Although this formula is missing the Musk Ambrette (banned by IFRA) that gave the original Aramis much of its character, it’s not at all timid with ingredients like birch tar, castoreum, cade, oakmoss, and cumin.
This is a landmark fragrance, and this formula is very good. I’ve also tried the formulas for Aramis 900 and Aramis Havana (both from this site), with equal success.
I’d love to see the formulas for Aramis Devin, Aramis New West, and Aramis Tuscany, all classics in their own right.
