Adventurer

Epic Journey Into the Bottled Yonder, 139 ------------------------------------------------------- Purchased August 2019 The beach in a bottle. Sauvage STOLE this shamelessly; the vibe, almost the lot! All Dior had done to make it theirs was "class it up" a bit in the most generic of ways. I already had tested out Sauvage at this time, which was basically the first revival of interest in that scent within this scene, otherwise I never would've heard about it. Some things refuse to completely fall off and somehow Sauvage survived culture death. 2015 was a different time in modern history. Deal with it. But how can we forget the insane Aramis Adventurer? It has the seaweed, the salt that was copied soon after. This ain't a masterpiece, I don't believe anything that smells like a disgusting place, which is most beaches, can be a masterpiece. After all Phoenix Shaving's The Beach (which I like) actually smells like Ard Al Zafaraan Oud 24 Hours which copies Black Orchid (hate the latter two), so what's that about? A lot of shameless copying going on by strange names. I like clones too so you've likely missed my point. Anyway I really don't like the normal Aramis, so this will have to do. And being me several years ago I thought I had chucked this out but no I found it again hiding a few years ago and it's going nowhere. This isn't fresh, it's more spicy and ocean logged wood. Along with this you'll also need Houbigant Navigator.

Picked this up years ago. It’s been collecting dust so I decided to polish the rest of it off. I’m not sure why people vote this one as close to Bvlgari Aqua. I feel that’s setting others up for disappointment. You can definitely pick up the geranium, citrus, and the sour notes of the sea weed. It’s a citric aquatic that smells a lot like other generic citrus aquatics. It’s not bad in any way, it’s just that the dry down has this sour type of feel. Naturally I thought maybe the bottle had gone bad but I had another one that was sealed. They were both the exact same. I do love the lavender in this one though. It’s a 6/10 for me. Update: So I had to come back and add some more information. Rather than re-write my review, I wanted to leave it in just to show you how confusing it is, or I am. What I thought started off as an aquatic has dried down into a green type of scent. Any experienced nose will recognize whiffs is polo green from time to time. It’s just a confusing scent to me. It smells of everything and nothing I’ve smelled before at the same time. Boosting this one up to 7/10 because I find it weirdly unique.

This is nice and clean and sporty. It's a casual wear or office wear fragrance. If this is for adventure, it's for a dad wth his family while they explore the hills along the coast. Notes are balanced as with most aramis. Longevity and protection are not very heavy, preforming like eau de colognes and disappearing by the 5th hour. The citrus are the most prominent notes, however the blend of woods and florals transform this into a soapy Irish springs deal as it dries. It reminds me of fancy hotel soaps, and I feel like Traveler would be a good name for it. It's more bright than bitter on me and the seaweed added to the blend does make a shoutout to the bvlgari aqva line, however, it only contributes a salty element and is way more muted here. From my collection this is an aquatic take on English Laundry Notting Hill. I like it a lot and will wear it on warm and hot days. Really good blind buy if you like aqva and aqva marine from bvlgari along with a traditional masculine dry down of something like Paco Rabanne, which I do!

Adventure is for me a really great fragrance. For start to finish it never disappoints you and the longevity is pretty good on me, up to 6+ hours but the projection is about average. I have a large collection of Aramis fragrances because I have been a fan since the mid 70's when I bought a 60ml of the classic original Aramis and I have to say, they never fail to come up with something special. Adventurer is no different and it's certainly on my rotation during the Spring and Summer months more than perhaps some of the others, but it can be worn anything because it smells so good. You won't be disappointed with Adventure and in part it's quite unique! You can't help but to appreciate this great fragrance, I love it every time I put it on! 8.5 out of 10 for me! Some of the reviews on this page are excellent and sums up this scent nicely, a thumbs up to them👌👍🤗.!

A brilliant addition to the Aramis family! The notes like seaweed, lavender, wormwood, geranium blend nicely, creating a smell that is unique, rich with character and at the same time reminiscent in a way to the original Aramis. In fact, it does have a quality that gives Adventurer a feel like it's a perfume from the 60's (in a good way). However, as a result, it's not something that I could see a teen pulling off. Adventurer is for gentlemen that are a bit more mature, maybe 30 and up. Overall, Adventurer is a flanker done right, by having a style of it's own yet remaining loyal to it's predecessor. It's a scent that I would say has the guts to stand out in the crowd of today's modern perfumery, which at times, does get redundant. My overall rating: 8.5/10
