Indiana Jones is disappointed!
Hello you eternally sniffing people, how are you doing? I hope well! :)
I tested a fragrance again, but nothing new, rather something that is actually quite old news. Well, okay, it's "only" eight years old, but the brand should be quite well-known.
The scent "Adventurer" might be a bit less known, or in other words, perhaps it is known, but hardly anyone has really tested it. You perfume lovers tend to ignore everything that doesn't have Amouage, Chanel, Xerjoff, or something similar on the label,… wow, you are spoiled :D
However, there are indeed perfumes that smell great even among seemingly less impressive scents! And Aramis Adventurer… well, okay,… I have to admit that Adventurer is actually not that great, at least I didn't like it, as it smells quite generic and has a noticeably synthetic aura, but you know what I mean. I at least tried it instead of avoiding a scent from the start! And what do we learn from this: Essentially nothing, because if the scent had been really great, I could have at least said: "See what you're missing out on if you never test supposedly bad scents!", but as it is… well, I'm really at a loss for words, and that's despite the fact that I'm constantly rambling on here, argh! :D
Anyway, I'll get to the scent description, which probably no one will read now because your interest in the scent has surely long since faded. But if you stick it out until the end, I will definitely write something about cats somewhere :D
From the heart note, the scent is both fresh and sweet, but still doesn't lose its aftershave character.
In the base, alongside all the fragrance notes, there is now also a hint of moss, which admittedly elevates the scent a bit. However, the sweet notes eventually start to smell a bit synthetic and bother me even more later on, as the scent then begins to smell significantly worse or more disturbing due to this synthetic quality.
It starts off not so badly, but within the next 30 minutes becomes too artificial and also less pleasant-smelling, so that I felt rather tortured by the scent afterwards.
It can certainly be worn best on warm days in spring and summer; I would use it at most as a daytime scent, for everything else it is just a bit too unremarkable.
Especially for the price, there are hundreds of other, much higher quality or much better smelling fragrances, so I really can't recommend testing this one… :D
Well, that's it from me again, and yes, have a nice evening :)
PS: Yes, I wanted to write something about cats. I'll just say the following: I now have new cats again. Two snow-white kittens, but more information and especially photos will come later! Be patient :D

The scent:
The scent starts citrusy with lemon and bergamot, with the top note overall reminiscent of an aftershave. Then it continues quite aquatic, followed by a bit of pepper and floral, sweet-smelling lavender and rose notes. From the heart note, the scent is both fresh and sweet, but still doesn't lose its aftershave character.
In the base, alongside all the fragrance notes, there is now also a hint of moss, which admittedly elevates the scent a bit. However, the sweet notes eventually start to smell a bit synthetic and bother me even more later on, as the scent then begins to smell significantly worse or more disturbing due to this synthetic quality.
The sillage and longevity:
The sillage can be compared to many fleeting, fresh scents. Initially very briefly refreshing and zesty, but then, just a few minutes later, rather average and not particularly projecting. For people nearby, it is still sufficient to be noticed. In terms of longevity, I think the scent performs well with about six hours, especially for a fresh scent. The bottle:
The bottle is quite simple and has a rectangular design. The fragrance liquid is light blue, which is fitting for the aquatic notes. On the front, the well-known Aramis label is visible, topped off with a cylindrical, chrome-plated cap. Nothing exciting, but also nothing hideous. Conclusion:
The scent is, well, not exactly adventurous. Even though I tried to find something great about the scent by humming the Indiana Jones theme tune the whole time during testing (yes, yes, I'm a freak, blah blah :D), I unfortunately have to say that Adventurer has become a rather inconsequential, fresh, generic scent with aquatic notes. The lavender makes it seem "older" or more classic without standing out from many other similar scents. It starts off not so badly, but within the next 30 minutes becomes too artificial and also less pleasant-smelling, so that I felt rather tortured by the scent afterwards.
It can certainly be worn best on warm days in spring and summer; I would use it at most as a daytime scent, for everything else it is just a bit too unremarkable.
