About this deal

One Man Show was simply too much. Quorum was too much, and I didn't warm up to it any more now than when I was 16 (47 now). Krizia Uomo is beautiful but didn't do it for me. There's a bitterness on my skin I dislike. Neither did Sung Homme, although I enjoy it now and again. Pino Silvestre is too medicinal to my nose, and Aqua Brava is lovely but too fleeting.

Devin was through much of its existence presented as a 'country' eau de cologne, almost as a disclaimer. This has since been removed from the labeling of newer formulations, but the fragrance remains primarily intact. I have an older bottle that just sings the praises of all that is agrestic, raw, rugged (tall pines, herbs, weeds, and grasses, and animalic leather/labdanum), yet vulnerable and tender under the surface (florals, jasmine, lavender, an understated sweetness). I'd call Devin a dated, unspectacular but safe old school men's fragrance which is likely to appeal to fans of Aramis and an older crowd (call me Thomas Hardy, as I'm far from the madding crowd on this one) but wouldn't recommend it if you don't like galbanum, not that it's an obnoxious or overpowering fragrance at all. Eau de colognes (EDCs) are three to eight percent perfume oil, and thus are more subtle. They also have a light and citrusy scent to them that other perfumes of a similar concentration might not have. Aramis EDCs include: Woody fragrances smell rich and masculine. They contain notes like leather accord and whiskey, as well as various “-wood” notes. Woody Aramis fragrances include: Floral fragrances smell lush and flowery. They contain notes like rose, jasmine, and carnation. Floral Aramis fragrances include:

Moreover, for an eau de cologne it is anything but light-footed, no rather so rich in content that most people would classify it at least for an eau de toilette if not even as eau de perfume. Trudi Loren: A well-known female perfumer and the Creative Director of Fine Fragrances at International Flavors and Fragrances, she created the women’s perfume Calligraphy Rose. A scent like Aramis 900 fits best in romantic settings. Its sillage is on the stronger side, meaning you’ll catch attention when you’re leaning in close to your date. It’s powerful enough to stay all day, all night, and if things go well enough, even into the next day… When choosing an Aramis fragrance, think about two things: the fragrance family (or families) you like, and the scent concentration you’re after. This will help you choose a fragrance you enjoy at a strength and longevity that fits your taste. Aramis 900 is a rich and sensual fragrance that men and women can enjoy. Opening notes like coriander and Brazilian rosewood lean a little bit more masculine, while feminine middle notes like jasmine, rose, and carnation gives it a floral heart. Base notes of sandalwood, amber, and patchouli linger on the skin long after the rest have dried.

The current formulation is spoiled by its liberal use of galbanum, which is always described as 'grassy', and in Harry Fremont: One of the most in-demand perfumers in the world, he crafted the New West cologne for men. Fragrance families refer to the overall scent effect (i.e. “floral,” “woody,” “spicy,” or “fresh”) a fragrance has. And indeed, it goes off not so uncolognig: I feel in the prelude a nice, strong, round, predominantly organgigen citrus accord and also something lavender is to be guessed somewhere. If that's not a cologne! Scent concentration refers to how strong and noticeable a scent is. Concentrations are classified depending on what percentage of the scent blend is pure perfume oil.Perhaps I should look for a vintage bottle, but I was disappointed with mine from 2015. Comparisons to Polo Green are lost on me other than their shared use of pine and I find Devin altogether different and inferior. No, he is not as harsh as Aramis 900 and not as sweet as JHL and can't reach either of them olfactorically in his sublimity, yet Devin has his charm, since he already indicated in 1977 what would be in fashion in the 80s.

Eau de parfums (EDPs) are ten to twenty percent perfume oil. These are some of the strongest and longest-lasting fragrances on the market. Aramis EDPs include: Aramis was introduced to the world in the early 1960s. Between then and now, they’ve developed a rich and interesting history to go along with their rich and interesting scents. The perfumer Bernard Chant, who unfortunately died already in 1987, created only a rather manageable portfolio, but he left behind some absolute classics with Aromatics Elixier or Aramis 900, Azurée, Cabochard, Halston, JHL and the classic Aramis, among others. Devin (French clairvoyant) may not necessarily belong to the first team, but it is nevertheless a much respected and masterfully designed fragrance that is still convincing.This couldn't be true. She immediately recognized the letter it looked just too ridiculous What was she supposed to say to that? Was this possibly his kind of Spicy fragrances smell, well, spicy. They contain notes like cinnamon, pepper, and nutmeg. Spicy Aramis fragrances include:

Devin is an Aramis, and Aramis is an Estee Lauder, and he's American. In fact, you wouldn't believe everything that belongs to Estee Lauder, about thirty brands. Among them are: Tom Ford (yahaaaa!), Michael Kors (really?), Le Labo (no, now, they're so independent and all...), Jo Malone (but they're British, aren't they?), Ermengildo Zegna, Frédéric Malle, Clinique and just Aramis. Aramis, by the way, is not an acquired brand, withnephews and -nones! 1960 Lauder has simply said: We make now times ne chic men's line, and we call all "Aramis something", sounds more masculine than Estee Lauder something. Bernard Chant: A favorite perfumer for the Estee Lauder brand, he created their house colognes Aramis by Aramis and Aramis Devin, as well as the unisex scent Aramis 900. Eau de toilettes (EDTs) are five to fifteen percent perfume oil. They’re decently powerful, but not as strong or long-lasting as perfumes with more perfume oil. Aramis EDTs include: I am outdoorsman, a naturalist, a conservationist. I am the type that when walking in the woods I really like to drink it all in. I see a log with moss and lichen, mushrooms covering it, I get in close, examine it, am in awe of its splendor. I am in love with everything from the haunting calls of the whippoorwills and loons to the morbid, mysterious beauty of carrion beetles carrying out their work. I admire the whole picture, the good, the beautiful, the bad, the ugly, and how all the tints and hues come together to spell out "home" to me.No, they don't smell that much alike. However, I have a thing for fragrances with a good dose of pine in them, my favorite for many years being (vintage) Ralph Lauren Polo. Aramis has worked with some of the most famous and renowned perfumers in the world. Here are just a few of the notable noses that have partnered with Aramis to create their timeless fragrances.
