Who Wears It
The story behind the bottle.
Aramis Classic Reserve was launched in 2008, bringing together a rich blend of aromatic and woody notes that define the brand's classic masculine elegance. The fragrance opens with bright citrus and fresh spices like lemon and juniper, which seamlessly transition into the heart of jasmine, caraway, myrtle, sage, and thyme. This herbal warmth is then grounded by an earthy base of leather, amber, woody notes, oakmoss, and patchouli, creating a scent that is both lasting and modern.
Apply two sprays to ensure that the full depth of the herbal and woody base notes are experienced. The citrus and fresh spicy top notes fade within an hour, so this fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the day.
