SyntheticWhat does Aramis Always smell like?
It opens with cucumber, lime, mandarin orange and ginger, a cool, green and citrusy start. In the heart, tagetes, cardamom and mint add a floral, spicy touch. The base of vetiver, cedarwood and amber settles into a woody ground, and the overall impression is fresh, lightly sweet and a little synthetic.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, so the scent stays fairly close to the wearer. As a men's fragrance its fresh build suits everyday wear. Karl Lagerfeld Paradise Bay pour Homme and Otto Kern Change Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
