About this deal
There's nothing magical about the residual phase -- it's just OK, but pretty generic for this kind of old school fragrance --, but the opening phase is actually pretty good. Anyone can make you look up by being loud and boorish, but it takes a cut above to get that second glance.
But the star of the opening is really the richly elegant rose note, which is bolstered by carnation. Recently I became aware of Clinique Aromatic Elixirs and heard rumors that it was darn close to the original. But then it morphs into something very pleasant, a masculine floral somehow reminiscent of the drydown of Guerlain Heritage, a sublime fragrance in its own right.It was OK from what I remember, but not a comparison on the old vintage juice in the iconic bottle and packaging. But the Internet purchase sadly lacks the aroma that people / relatives have come to expect when I wear it.
Just smell Clinique’s classic woman’s perfume, Aromatics Elixir, and you’ll see what I mean: it was also created by Bernard Chant and to many people smells identical to Aramis 900. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy.The scent notes are coriander and green notes with bergamot and Brazilian rosewood followed by lemon and carnation with orris root and jasmine enriched with lily-of-the-valley, rose and geranium.
