THE Woody Fresh Scent
Does anyone still remember the longhaired tennis pro who won the Olympic gold medal, who later mutated into a bald head, who had a few cozy dates with Barbra Streisand, and then got married to Brooke Shields before he finally kidnapped 'our' Steffi (Graf) to Las Vegas? You guessed it! Andre Agassi - the advertising icon for "Aramis Life".
We are looking at a nice bottle made of deep blue ridged glass, easy to grasp and with a polished silver sprayer on top. The carton has the same cool blue. Overall, a nice eye catcher.
With kumquat, lime, bergamot and mint, immediately one enters into a fantastically refreshing experience. There are already enough facets to be interesting: Violet leaf and cardamom provide flowery/spicy notes and the cucumber note adds a light hint of green in the background. Eventually the leather and the woody notes come forward, to round out the impact as soft and spicy. All in all, the scent is refreshingly spicy with a very masculine base.
Because my skin has a fairly high pH factor, I am constantly amazed that this fragrance is not simply a short-lived sporty scent. "Aramis Life" accompanies me for the whole day, provides my environment with a distinct but agreeable sillage, without loosing any areas and remaining intact for 8-10 hours. Truly, a good choice for the warm season.
The classic "Aramis Life" was meanwhile removed from the market, but has been again included in the "Aramis Gentleman's Collection". Slightly reformulated perhaps, but well preserved in the same characteristics.
For me, this is still THE woody fresh scent. It might be interesting to know whether tennis legend Agassi is still wearing it?
