Strong, classic Aramis fragrance. I had imagined I would like this take on the Chypre but instead it just wasn't to my taste. Strong leathery pine, oakmoss and carnation classic elements blended in such a way that they are not appealing to me. I think the reason being the opening is musky, too harsh and lasts to the point where I'm put off before I can reach a dry down, which in all fairness is nice. No doubt about it this is a purely masculine animal and some will love it. Great projection and longevity.
