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

Much like Aramis Ice, Bermuda Tonic, and perhaps classic Aramis itself, this is not a pretty-boy fragrance. Like those, it's also a unique and interesting one that may take the wearer some time to warm to. What I really like about this fragrance is that it's highly refreshing without resorting to being fruity, making it an alternative and very good summer daytime fragrance. At the same time its spiciness definitely makes it an all year round fragrance that is versatile enough for casual/sport and formal/office use. Adventurer continues the impressive reputation of Aramis in producing quality/interesting/edgy, well-priced fragrances for men. Performance is decent with a soft sillage, and frankly, I love it.

I collect and use mainly aquatic colognes. This was a very welcome addition to my collection. It stands apart from my many other aquatic themed scents. This is aquatic where the seaweed note stays the duration and continues to make its presence known. Lemon and bergamot add collectively but never stay outside of its blended addition. The herbal notes freshen the seaweed and cedar so the seaweed does not turn rancid or sour. I got a good 7 hrs out of this spraying 3 times from the sample atomizer. Definitely not a freshie or blue themed aquatic.

Good stuff. True to the Aramis style in being slightly old school but never vulgar yet always sophisticated. A fresh scent with a classy backbone for a guy 30+. Reminds me of better days and better tastes. My fav Aramis along with Havana and Devin. Bravo.

Mainly a salty, slightly tart seawater aroma backed by woods, which is much more pleasant than that may sound. I see it as mostly for hot weather but if worn in the cold, it would smell downright icy. Longevity is suprisingly good.

I kinda disagree with the other comments, I quite like it, very fresh and aquatic, lasted well on my skin. A nice change for Aramis, it's not heavy and spicy, it's fresh, pretty good.

Adventurer is definitely an Aramis fragrance. Somehow there’s just this Aramis ‘note’ that you can recognized blindfolded. AA is a fairly common aromatic type of fragrance - a guy’s outdoor, woodsy, flannel type of fragrance - a bit of spice and a floral arrangement undergirded by a wood base. This is nothing groundbreaking, but I do enjoy it. First, the longevity on this is excellent. Sillage is also just right. It’s not overly strong but it’s got enough kick that other people will notice. It can be worn mostly anywhere, but depending on where I’m going with it, I’d be careful with the amount I use. The initial opening of the lid will give you a strong cedar smell. The opening is a spicy, slightly fruity mix. It’s what I would call a strong, manly type of smell. Very nice. You will notice the projection is fairly heavy. After awhile, a darker, soft, mild and sweet set of floral notes take over. I can smell both the lavender and geranium and they both are pretty evenly balanced. This is countered by an inherent bitterness in the wormwood. And when the fragrance settles down there is a very interesting seaweed and wood mix. All in all I think Adventurer is a bit on the common side, but I have no qualms with it. You might want to give it a try if you don’t own anything like it.

I like Adventurer a lot. First of all, I see no resemblance to Bvlgari Aqua whatsoever. There's something sweet in here, I can't tell by the note breakdown what it could be. That slight sweetness is combining with the seaweed I guess and creating this vibe almost like ambroxan vibe. Almost but not quite. It seems like a more mature relative to other blue scents out there like Dylan Blue. So if those other ambroxan bombs are too loud for you then Adventurer might be worth checking out. With about four sprays I get good lasting power and noticeable presence. Noticeable but not as loud as Sauvage or similar others. I'm an Aramis fan but I'll say that they are fragrances that I wear for myself. Most are not very likely to get you compliments but I think Adventurer could be different.

Aramis Adventurer is a very fresh fragrance that is quite restrained and inoffensive. It is a nice scent to wear for work as it is clean but also quite masculine. Like "Gentleman" and "Impeccable" Adventurer is not the silage and longevity monster that the earlier fragrances from this house are known for, however, it still has that distinct Aramis quality. As modern trends tend to lean towards more restrained fragrances this is probably deliberate. To sum up, I like it, it's quite refreshing to have a clean fragrance with a bit of bite without having to go down the citrus aquatic road.

This really surprised me. The lavender and herbal quality of this makes it more original than most aquatics, the performance isn't bad and it's very inexpensive. An excellent cheapie that most don't know about.

A toned down, less metallic version of Azzaro Chrome, with added salty Seaweed and herbal touch. 50/50 unique/designer. High heat compatible. Gentlemanly. No performance issues on clothes from my 2016 batch.

Not your typical aquatic fragrance - and that ́s a good thing! I do get the Aramis family vibe but uhhhhh it should have been stronger! It dries off to quickly :) But a good spring/summer scent :)

I love this fragrance. Very fresh and clean for daytime use but the longevity stinks, does not last more than a few hours for me.

Generic shower gel vibe with some seaweed smell. Not bad, but don't expect anything groundbreaking

A very fresh scent with aquatic notes and light woodiness. I have to say this does not last on my skin and I made a mistake buying this. I'm sure the tester I tried was much stronger than the actual bottle I bought. It's a nice fragrance but doesn't last on my skin which is a pity. Perfect for the office or the gym. This should have been release for the spring early summer it would be perfect in warmer weather.

Fresh spicy, clean, aquatic tones to my nose. Quite sharp initially, but much more settled on dry-down with the patchouli adding a nice background twist and depth which will keep you wanting to re-sniff. I'm not an aquatic-vibe kind of guy, putting this in the same field as Davidoff's Cool Water. That said, its long lasting, with moderate sillage and is of a quality you'd expect from Aramis.
