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\", \u003cem\u003eAramis\u003c\/em\u003e. It's unmistakable, infectious, mysterious and Iconic. I 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\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg 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\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\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 \u003cem\u003eClint\u003c\/em\u003e by Avon, opened it up and BOOM, whipped back to the cabin with my uncle and brother...\u003cem\u003ewhat the heck?\u003c\/em\u003e I'm certain my uncle wore Aramis but this bottle of Clint, straight out of the 70's had me questioning my memory. This was before I knew that Avon had built an aftershave empire out of Duping other popular scents of the time! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSure enough, Clint is almost a dead-ringer for Aramis! 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! [So if you ever find a bottle of Clint in an antique shop, \u003cem\u003eGRAB IT!\u003c\/em\u003e]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eNot sure when, my guess is early 2000's, they changed the formula. 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\"... I have learned to accept it, \u003cem\u003eit's just a pity,\u003c\/em\u003e the kids will never know what we've lost!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThat said, I made it my personal mission to reboot the original scent. \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI'm taking us all back to the cabin in style, Buckle up!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAs for the label, it represents the process of perfuming, which is truly a \u003cem\u003etime machine \u003c\/em\u003eof some sort or another. You need only to put together a lot of odds an ends when blending. Notes that your mind tells you \u003cem\u003enever\u003c\/em\u003e to combine, but the nose trumps the mind in this matter, a leap of faith! Once the \"building\" of this strange machine is complete, you should have a vehicle that will take you back to that time and place with just a quick sniff and you're there.
