This is an incredibly versatile and refined cologne which is pretty much an any-season fragrance. More suited to daytime smart-casual wear rather than full-on formal evening attire, it feels great on. Presented in a straight-lined bottle with a gun-metal grey cap and complementing grey coloured label with white surround. The fragrance itself emits a golden glow. After the closure of the ADF division, Lauder will focus on what has left: Tom Ford Beauty, Le Labo, Editions de Parfums de Frederic Malle, Jo Malone, Aerin, Kilian Paris, Clinique and its core brand, Estée Lauder, for which a new exclusive fragrance line was recently announced. For me the best winter perfume currently available for men. For this price you can't get anywhere near as good a perfume on the market. The opening is sharp and zesty with lemon, bergamot and lime all jostling for your attention. There is also a touch of lavender that subtly creeps in. A heart of mixed herbs, in particular the liquorice scent of anise and caraway blend with orange blossom for a sophisticatedly fresh masculine vibe.

Launched in 1982, Aramis JHL is a traditional cologne that blends spices and woods. Delicate floral notes such as carnation, ylang-ylang and rose also appear for a well rounded masculine scent.

Presented in a classy straight-lined bottle with gold cap and matching gold label. Not the highest quality bottle up close.

Well, I don't know. I think I only bought it because it's pretty unique for me and a "real" Aramis. So, out of decency, somehow. I also take was not really masculine, but to women it does not fit either (except see later in the text). From the level and the speciality (not from the smell!) it should be possible to position it next to the Aramis (Classic) (unfortunately I can't find anything about first scent impressions from 1964). I had read in another commentator once, "it is not a scent but a smell". That's the way I'd see it here. The or a peculiarity, something long and sensational both have as characteristic. But I can't spontaneously think of the occasion for which I should wear it - except to go to church or as an altar boy. The fragrance could fit to the "Allvater" because of the sacral opulence (who knows the series "The Preacher"...). No kidding aside. Probably it comes across well on a lonely forest walk in autumn or winter (no matter region, the main thing is lonely). I once had an office colleague from the gothic scene. A very sweet and nice one (she had such small, sweet coffins in her potted flowers...). She always wore an extreme sweet Patchouli incense stuff unknown to me (was probably a self-creation). I think she'd like the scent. At the moment, however, I remain on the usage route.I am sort of surprised, because Aramis fragrances in general appeal to a smaller demographic vs a lot of other brands, so they are selling less across the board anyway. So for them to discontinue Tobacco Reserve, they must have been selling next to nothing of this fragrance relatively speaking. In 2018, Aramis is launching a new woody aromatic fragrance with a strong tobacco note at its heart, Tobacco Reserve. Named for a character in Dumas' The Three Musketeers, Aramis is a classic American fragrance and grooming brand which was established in 1964 by Estée Lauder Company. Its first product was the legendary Aramis fragrance by Bernard Chant. Aramis has been launching a new fragrance nearly every year as of late. Tobacco Reserve follows last year's launch of Aramis Modern Leather.
