Aramis by Aramis
Where to begin with this one? everybody has heard of it! Aramis is the KING of masculine fragrances and a best seller since 1965! and for good reason too, which I will explain further on in the guide.
Now a bit of basic information! Aramis is a monster in longevity and projection it is a true cowboy fragrance, if Clint Eastwood or John Wayne wore this, their enemies would merely surrender just from the smell of this scent! Aramis' slogan is "Aramis - The best a man can get" this is 100% true this is a very woody and very leathery cologne for a masculine man, not for wusses this is also one of those colognes again which will be labelled as "Outdated" and many people will say "Oh it smells too strong" "I hate the smell" "Smells too old" etc let's face the facts, you don't remain a bestseller for over 40 years by smelling terrible...it's just not appreciated, like a classic car is appreciated by a car fanatic but is considered "old and boring" by people not into cars! same thing with Aramis!
Rule 1: Don't over-do it! - Take it from me, too many sprays of this and it will smell like cheap air freshener, Aramis is a gentleman, not a spice boy! he sits quietly wearing his Yves Saint Laurent suit minding his own business wearing his Rolex and the keys to his Mercedes in his pocket, he doesn't jump about showing them off, he is a subtle and refined gentleman. 2 to 3 sprays MAXIMUM!
Rule 2: Dress up! - As mentioned in the above post, Aramis is a classy scent as well as masculine, I can't imagine this being pulled off with jeans and tshirt and even jeans and leather jacket would be pushing it. I would say this HAS to be worn with a suit, doesn't require a waistcoat and top hat complete with cane and pocketwatch although my respect goes out to anyone who goes out dressed like that...a true SIR! indeed!...and I envy you!. However just a standard smart suit will go perfect with this scent!
Rule 3: Confidence! - I know I mention this ALL the time but it is always the rule that gets neglected. Here's an example, a friend of mine wore Drakkar Noir, he liked it but was scared no one else would, he even got freaked out on the train when someone wouldn't sit next to him (Even though there were plenty of empty seats) see this is what happens, FRAGRANCE PARANOIA everyday occurrences suddenly become related to a fragrance you're insecure about "Oh she didn't hold the door for me, it must be my fragrance" "Oh that guy didn't move over on the train for me, it must be because of this scent" blah blah paranoid BULLSHIT. Here's how it works, wear what you want. Fuck people. It's their problem if they don't like it, we all have to put up with things we don't like, that's life, I don't like the annoying PSSSHHHT noise the bus makes every time it stops but you don't hear me complaining! if people can't grow a pair and take it on the chin then that's their problem...also these same people don't wear Aramis so there you go! they aren't confident and manly enough GRRR!
All in all I hope you all enjoyed this guide and walk out the door this morning with a suit on, a smile on your face and the manly scent of Aramis flowing from you like fire from a dragon's mouth!. In the words of Brian Fantana from Anchorman "Time to musk up!"
