Aram

Gorgeous scent... Can’t even begin to fathom the preceding reviews... Reminds me of Bulgari Parfumee au the Rouge though the Roibos Tea, Fig and soft red berry like presentation is replaced by Green Tea and Grapefruit. Which for all intents and purpose is like a yellow soft citrus version. Not at all tart. Very strong with awesome Sillage though whilst it doesn’t hit you in the face once you smell it it just follows your nose... All the other notes are well blended and infact not really discernible individually so as such this is for me a lovely refreshing Tea scent. This again highlights Fragranticas listing system as for me this is not at all an amber scent and even woody is a stretch. A citrus aromatic is the best definition. Not ground breaking but very well made.

Luckyscent is currently having a great sale on this, and I'm a fan of Olivier Durbano's work, so I picked up a sample. Aram is a lovely scent. It's very smooth - individual notes don't stand out much to me, not even the grapefruit in the opening. I'd describe it as a slightly floral, woody incense. Vetiver, light resins, cedar and rose make up the vast majority of the experience. It feels calm, contemplative, extremely easy to wear. As much as I like the smell, I can't justify the purchase because Aram has absolutely zero projection/sillage on my skin. While it lasts for upwards of 6 hours, I can't tell I'm wearing it unless my wrist is right up in my face. It's basically a skin scent for the whole wear, even the opening. If it was half the price I could see myself picking it up. As it is, I'll have to stick to enjoying my sample while it lasts.

I was in a taxi and driver commented on my scent "is this the Aram Olivier Durbano? it smells amazing" I was like "noo, its Son of the Sun by dua, its the dupe and one of the best I ever had" he said that is what I was thinking, the projection cannot be that good of Aram Olivier. I said yes, the scents which are better in projection and longevity win my heart!!!

why does this smell like straight-up mud? It’s earthy to the point of messy, and not in a chic way. Definitely not my vibe -hard pass. Scent profile is so promising but doesn't match. Please share recommendation guys!!

This is Terre D'hermes by Olivier Durbano,very dissapointed.The final dry down has a more vetyver root feeling.
