Version
Then he remembered another phrase:
"Language marches in lockstep with the shills.
Therefore, we must invent a new language."
This sentence... should he spread it, wildly plant it somewhere-
plant it, for example, on the toilet wall of a cafe
or in a perfume forum?
Or was he just being too serious again?
He sniffed at himself.
It was the contradiction that he liked.
Perhaps there were even several of them.
The first was called masculine & floral, even downright rosy.
Not that he appreciated either one on its own
particularly appreciated. But both at the same time was not
normal. And thus inevitably delightful.
Another consisted of green, slightly earthy garden spice,
still clinging to the spade, coupled with soapy cleanliness.
You could also say - dry and sweet.
Or even bitter and sweet.
Aramis 900 comes from America, but smells English.
Doesn't it?
Actually, that was nonsense.
Did origin mean anything to him?
For him, this fragrance came more from a country
that had not yet been dreamed empty.
Was that another quote at the end, from wherever?
How much would remain of himself,
if one deducted all the quotations, all the thought-flowers from somewhere
once written?
What kind of a man would that be, who would then stand before one?
How would he be?
In any case - elegant.
For he was, after all, undoubtedly.
By his own standards, anyway.
And that meant - not necessarily perceptible to others.
His particular vanity.
Expensive clothes that looked rather poor.
Of course, there were people who did see it clearly and
recognized. (Fortunately?)
"Clothes" he called them, if only to conceal from himself
to conceal from himself as much as possible.. could possibly call elitist.
Or - worse almost - high class. He hated the word.
He wrote it as small as possible.
Elegance, after all, was almost a value to him.
Elegance is the art of doing the same thing differently.
And it was also in Aramis 900 .
A snow-white, ironed handkerchief elegance.
That of a handkerchief that was never used,
...but only in case of a need for help.. such as a mishap of a woman
or even a man or even a man.
The elegance of Aramis 900 was restrained.. but also a bit loud. So, as elegance now times
depending on the environment more discreetly or more clearly stands out.
In this fragrance played the feminine and the masculine
a sophisticated game. Because the floral announced itself
again and again to word in the course of the fragrance.
And always seemed a little different again, when
the development of the fragrance gently changed direction.
The head is round, so that the thoughts the direction
can change direction. Was that him or Man Ray?
The scent reminded him of a very colorful pocket square,
which, yes, still seemed conservative in the overall picture.
Orange paisley pattern on a green background, the whole
against the calm background of a beige linen jacket.
This was matched by the rose-dominated floral bouquet
with a few lilies of the valley, carnations and a tiny bit
of iris Iris, which was set against a bitter-woody-early tableau with a
certain powdery, earthy aura to it.
Floral-rosy lushness paired with slight bitterness.
The principle of the unexpected.
At parties he was someone with whom one actually
with whom one actually liked to talk, was also seen with pleasure, because he
was not necessarily boring.
So understated he formulated that to himself.
At the same time, however, he was feared as a sometimes unpredictable
mood killer. From a subject like "running shoes,
that weigh under 300 grams and create a kind of booster feeling
produce," he was able to divert to child labor in 2.5 secs.
Without pulling a face. Or appearing bad-tempered
to appear.
Or the other day at the Groucho-look-a-like party.
There he stood out because instead of a costume he wore gray
Pants and a gray T-shirt that said
"Man is an animal gifted in speech, who will always
by the word."
Is that humor with thorns? A kind of rose humor?
Somehow he seemed to like to add something heavy
to everything light to anything light Wasn't he perhaps similar to Aramis 900, which was abruptly
of floral playfulness that skipped along as cheerfully as a rose
in the buttonhole, to a vegetal-bitter
To a vegetal and bitter
astringency, which could remind one
Cemeteries.
Serenity and seriousness.
Whereby he knew well how little earnestness alone was worth.
As this journalist had said in the 19th century
said? Earnestness is the mediocre, and the mediocre
is the worst, because it is boring.
Was that his real fear - to be boring?
All the elegance nothing but whitewash?
Did he even want to answer that question for himself?
In the end, Aramis 900 softened, evened out.
Wood, a fine distinguished moss note, a deep,
calm harmonious patchouli melody.
A perfectly captured essence of the genre Chypre,
that simply reconciled contradictions. His
Brother, the impetuous, iridescent-oscillating, much-
face Aromatics Elixir not at all dissimilar.
Only more restrained, more controlled, more collected.
"It's not so bad," said Aramis 900.
"Yeah, I guess you're right, I really don't have to answer all the
Questions."
"You don't have to do anything," said the scent.

Hammer!
After reading many comments describing the similarity with Aromatics Elixir, I ordered it. The resemblance to AE is downright eerie! Also the durability and the silage are incredible. For me, Aramis 900 really is an absolute twin. And since the AE has obviously been reformulated, I am doubly pleased about that. And thanks again for fixing it. :-))

The flowers of yesterday
...is one of many films with Lars Eidinger not necessarily one of his best, if you compare it with Maren Ade's (Toni Erdmann) wonderful "Alle anderen".Was has now the fabulous L.Eidinger with Erdinger wheat beer and especially with Aramis900 to do?As always nothing. A bridge to the 3 musketeers, which would be already very endeavored did not offer itself also... Said Bernhard so (better known as Bernhard C.) is with Bianca liiert, the if he once again too much Pastis intus had immediately called the mouse police to the alcohol test. Well....
The fragrance - a floral climax. A lush bouquet (alternatively: men's décolleté) of slightly withered flowers, but which thereby actually develop more Bumms (attention inappropriate language) and which in combination with civet (at least in the vintage version) make a great fragrance. A floral outpouring (oh my) that even knocks Geoffrey Beene's fabulous Grey Flannel out of its unused bower. Needless to say, the complete absence of sweetness - Hamma' again luck jehabt, wa?
Is probably nothing better in the floral segment - Great.
Merci Bernhart...

Because at least ONE classic must be there!
You could call it a Spleen, but I wanted to know some old classic in my collection. According to the motto: There must be a fragrance from the 60s or 70s that doesn't remind me directly of my father's aftershave or grandfather's soap, which doesn't make me think of porn bars and breast hair. Also the much quoted toilet block and household cleaner association simply didn't get rid of me with some test candidates.

I just find the performance totally exciting, how Sean Connery, Mick Jagger, Jean-Paul Belmondo or Jack Kerouac might have smelled at their best times! There weren't as many fragrances as today in the men's fragrance area back then, so tonka bean, oud, coffee or cinnamon were definitely not on the agenda! ;-)

So far, Fabergé Brut had been the closest to making it into my collection, but something in the heart note took too much getting used to. Now it is (finally) Aramis 900! :-) Because here finally NO olfactory "Oedipus-complex" is coming up! :-)

Of course, Aramis 900 is not a fragrance that I want to score with the female sex or shine with at a party. But who knows: Maybe I attract someone's attention, because it's really "totally blatant" to put something like that on in the meantime! ;-) Now I know at least how to classify chypre scents. The "Cologne", which nevertheless has a long shelf life and a good sillage, has a rather linear citric-floral-green fragrance, which is of course reminiscent of noble soap or a visit to the barber (not to say "barbershop").

The fragrance is 100% sparkling, refreshing and clean, yet much more complex than modern aquatics. Is it the rose that still stands out after 2-3 hours? I can't say for sure. It's the floral note I really like, even if I'm too critical of flowery scents. It remains a classic, but timeless men's fragrance that almost approaches the 50 (like me, by the way) and therefore finds a place on my shelf!

The Shire Horse
Rose, geranium, talcum, wood, leather, aldehydes, some soap plus horse.
A fragrance about which one does not make too many words or poems, because it is like a cathedral
is in the chronology of male perfumery.
Conclusion:
Fresh Bulgarian Rose trimmed to conventional and slightly masculine. A high, fascinating and
hypnotic aroma for a king or a killer that does not seek or need applause.
Use it or leave it, Aramis 900 is beyond reproach.

A very strong animalic chypre. Robust, independent and very masculine. The only downside is that I am not mature enough to wear it yet.
