Is Aramis Tobacco Reserve discontinued?+−
Yes, this fragrance has been discontinued. While it is still highly sought after by collectors, it is no longer in active production, which has led to a significant increase in price and rarity on the secondary market.
How does this compare to the original Aramis or Aramis Havana?+−
Tobacco Reserve is a modern departure from the 1966 original. It lacks the heavy aldehydes and floral-leather punch of the classic Aramis. Compared to Havana, it is less spicy and "musty," focusing more on a clean, dry, and green tobacco leaf rather than a complex tropical tobacco.
For what weather and occasions is this best suited?+−
This is primarily a cold-weather fragrance, excelling in fall and winter. Because of its massive projection and smoky profile, it is best suited for evenings, nights out, or leisure time rather than a cramped office environment.
Is this considered a unisex fragrance?+−
Although marketed for men and carrying a "tidy gents cologne" vibe due to the clary sage and oakmoss, it is often enjoyed by anyone who appreciates a dry, non-sugary tobacco note. However, it leans traditionally masculine in its composition.
