The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2001, Surface by Aramis is an aromatic fougère fragrance created by perfumers Ilias Ermenidis and Jean Claude Delville. This scent opens with a vibrant green and ozonic accord that evokes the freshness of a crisp morning breeze over water. As it evolves, the composition reveals layers of aromatic herbs and fresh spices, grounded by subtle woody notes. Surface captures the essence of modernity and elegance, reflecting Aramis's legacy as a pioneer in men’s grooming and fragrance.
Surface has a bright opening that fades within two hours, so apply it slightly heavier in the morning to enjoy its full effect. As the day progresses, the woody base notes provide a lasting warmth.
