Born out of the 1960's but timeless in depth and shape. I remember the first time I caught a whiff of this stuff. (do you?)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt was the mid 1980's and my family and I were staying in my uncle's cabin for a fall weekend. He met us up there to give us the key. Before he took off however, he had my brother and I help him bring some logs inside and stack the rest on the porch. Working next to him is when I \"caught it\",\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAramis\u003c\/em\u003e. It's unmistakable, infectious, mysterious and Iconic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eI truly believe everyone remembers exactly where they where when they smelled this mystery for the first time!  The whole experience burned the fragrance forever on to my brain. The scent notes seem to work or reinforce a \"smell track\" for that weekend; Crisp Fall Air, Fresh Cut Wood, Leather...\u003cstrong\u003eRugged and Classy all at the same time.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5884\/files\/Screen_Shot_2017-09-13_at_12.19.09_PM_large.png?v=1505330613\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAs a collector of vintage aftershaves I happened to stumble upon an old bottle of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eClint\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eby Avon, opened it up and BOOM, whipped back to the cabin with my uncle and brother...\u003cem\u003ewhat the heck?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI'm certain my uncle wore Aramis but this bottle of Clint, straight out of the 70's had me questioning my memory.

Now that my scent palate has matured and become more colorful and dare I say more sophisticated, I recognize just subtle differences in the two. Clint possess just a hint more leather but at the end of the day is much closer than even the modern version of Aramis!

The new stuff just doesn't smell the same nor compare. There can be a number of reasons for this, and this seems to be \"business as usual\" for a lot of \"classic frags\"...
