Trying to remember why I dislike it so much but also kind of want to try it again there’s something about it I want to make, but it’s just too strong and it almost kind of reminds me of a strong cat spray ( and y’all know about cats know what I mean ! it smells like aromatherapy, it smells like anthroposophy, it smells like yoga, it smells so so herbal and medicinal, but also warm. Every time I use it, I get a lot of compliments; however, I recently got another bottle and it is a different fragance!

It’s definitely a perfume that needs to mix with your skin oil to really develop into what it’s supposed to be.

There's no other chypre that really has the olfactory effects of this one; and I've rarely come across a fragrance so memorably and enjoyably funky (one spritz would be more than enough for anyone; anything more would be overpowering). On me, the real magic starts to happen 20 minutes later and I find the overwhelmingly dominant note to be the patchouli held aloft by flowers and oakmoss.If you want the male - and less expensive - version of Aromatics, get Aramis 900, they're virtually one and the same scent. Oggi la versione più recente che possiedo (del 2020) dura sulla pelle circa mezz'ora e gli ingredienti sono ben pochi e galleggiano sulla cumarina. There is a lot of pink pepper, woods, pine needles and oakmoss, a bit of rose, jasmine, ylang ylang and I think, galbanum.

It interests me, it’s not demanding of attention, and it seems as though it brings out something I like about myself. Top notes are Chamomile, Aldehydes, Clary Sage, Coriander, Geranium, Lemon Verbena, Brazilian Rosewood and Bergamot; middle notes are Carnation, Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Orris Root, Jasmine, Tuberose and Orange Blossom; base notes are Oakmoss, Patchouli, Incense, Vetiver, Sandalwood and Musk. Going to the loo at work one morning, a voice piped up from the cubicle next door ‘is that you Rache? Currently I can only wear the body lotion, half a pea amount and this way I can almost get away with it….

That opening of dry green and coriander so stripped of anything sweet - well it's sharp and almost off putting but now that I know what to expect. It is a bitter, balsamic, menacingly astringent blend of cool, otherworldly woods and sour alien herbs, abstract florals and austere resins.At that time I was not one for strong perfumes (after all I was holding my own at the office, trying to survive the onslaught of all my female co-workers who felt it necessary to drench themselves in Poison everyday, uggh) anyway, I stood up, chased after her and remarked about how FABULOUS she smelled. But for anyone who likes the deep enchantment of the darkest green in a shaded forest, the quiet glint of midges buzzing in a slice of golden light in an almost quiet greenwood. You look at the reviews and the “enormous” sillage and “eternal” longevity make it seem that you’re in for an inescapable fragrance.
