The story behind the bottle.
Aramis Life My Summer, launched in 2003 by perfumer Raymond Matts, is a complex and layered aromatic spicy fragrance for men. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like lime and bergamot, mingling with the crisp greenness of cucumber and kumquat, creating an invigorating freshness. As it evolves, warm spices such as saffron and cardamom add depth, while mint and violet leaf introduce a subtle herbal twist. The base features woody elements like cedar and sandalwood, along with a touch of leather that grounds the scent in warmth and sophistication.
Apply one to two sprays for a balanced presence. The citrus top notes are most noticeable in the first hour, but the woody and spicy base notes will linger throughout the day. This fragrance is best enjoyed during warmer months when its bright and warm character can shine.
