Aramis is an American luxury fragrance brand, introduced by Estée Lauder in 1964. [1] It was the first prestige men’s fragrance widely available in department stores, and is now sold in 120 countries. [2] Aramis was created by perfumer Bernard Chant. [2]
It is classified as a leather chypre; its top notes are fresh/bitter herb combined with a body odor note from cumin, followed by gardenia, jasmine, amber and sandalwood. [3]
Perfumer and fragrance historian Roja Dove has called it "an incredibly refined and distinctive fragrance” [2] that is "as much of a legend as the hero it was named after." [4]
