What does Aramis Black smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, and most see it as masculine and classic in character. It sits back in summer and wears more easily in cooler seasons.

The top is elemi resin, mastic and grapefruit, which gives the fresh, green start. In the heart, leather, cognac and juniper wood add a spicy, smoky edge. Vetiver, tonka bean and Omani white frankincense leave the base woody and lightly sweet. Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade and Issey Miyake Nuit d'Issey have a close profile.
