The story behind the bottle.
Intuition by Aramis is a new aromatic fougere fragrance that launched in 2025, continuing the brand's legacy of classic masculine scents. The composition opens with a bright burst of grapefruit, which gives way to lavender and orris root in the heart, creating a fresh yet sophisticated middle ground. The base notes of vetiver, leather, and patchouli anchor the fragrance with earthy warmth and depth. This blend strikes an elegant balance between freshness and earthiness, making it both versatile and enduring.
Apply two sprays initially; the grapefruit top note is vibrant but fades within an hour. The vetiver and leather base notes take center stage after that, ensuring the fragrance lasts throughout the day without needing a heavy reapplication.
