The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, Aramis Special Blend by Aramis is a Woody Spicy fragrance that takes inspiration from the brand’s legacy of classic masculinity. The composition opens with cinnamon and clary sage, bringing an immediate warmth and depth to the scent. This gives way to a heart of whiskey and cypriol oil, creating a rich blend that feels both familiar and sophisticated. The base notes of virginian cedar, ambertonic, cashmeran, and tonka bean add a plush, enveloping quality that lingers on the skin.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum impact — it blooms best on skin. The spicy notes are prominent initially but give way to a deeper woody warmth that lasts throughout the day.
