Man, I haven't seen a vintage bottle in years! My uncle back in Poland had a bottle of the aftershave with the dark brown cap and would wear it camping. He was one of those guys who shaved with a straight razor and everything. A great video Chris!
Wonderful video! I agree about the concentration. I wear TABU by Dana, and I love it. I only need two sprays! It lasts all day. Very spicy, warm, and syrupy, love it!
I wore the 1977 vintage as an 18-year-old. It was a beautiful beast. I have a bottle of the Gentleman’s Line version and it’s good enough to still evoke fond memories of wearing the vintage version.
Absolutely gorgeous fragrance. I am just wearing it, and I have to admit it outclasses many expensive niche fragrances. The current versions of the old Aramis fragrances are very well made and close to the original ones.
Such a beautiful location.. infact I am looking for a chypre fragrance..with a strong aldehydic note !.. so need ur advice bro.. which one is better .. devin or 900 ? .. merry Christmas Chris .. and happy new year ..
Great review! Got very interested in this after watching Maurice Roucel himself answer a question about which fragrance he wished he would have made. " many, one in particular is a lesser known fragrance. . Devin" Fortunately it's cheap so I got a bottle on the way.
I have the new version. Brilliant. I get a little dunhill, a little polo, a little kouros. The pachouli is heavier than the original. But they did a great job with it.
I bought the modem version today, and it smells fantastic; reminding me of a lighter, mere refined Yatagan. Do you think buying the vintage version is worth the price, or am I ok with the current one? Cheers!
Dude, this is my birth year's eau de campagne; thanks for the review & scenery & one of my fav unique scents, it's the only unlisted animalic I can tolerate.
@@uzi_187 yes, it's danker, some say ranker, the artemisia, caraway, & leather is noticable, but cut with galbanum, pine, & oakmoss...this takes balls to carry
I think all of the Gentleman's Collection is considered EDC concentration and lasts a very long time. I wore New West in 95 degree heat and it lasted all day this last summer where some of my other fragrances with higher concentration would die off on 2-3 hours. Aramis always gives you that bang for your buck and good performance in my experience.
This one just sounds right up my alley, I've been searching high and low for this one... However, I need some help people ! Since I've been seeing these two very specific "types", can anyone tell me what the difference is between (both vintage versions/bottles): - Country Eau de Cologne and - Light Sporting Cologne In general they both look identical but I'm not sure as to which one is which ! Meaning also that I don't know which one to get...
Never heard of the Light Sporting Cologne. Devin definitely has vintage and re-bottled version, both called Country Cologne and fairly similar though obviously the vintage is the real deal
@@scentland4753 After some digging I was able to figure out what's the deal: Apparently Devin has three concentrations, so to speak, in the order of: - Country Cologne being the highest and standard cologne we all know - Light Sporting Cologne is the middleman between the Country Cologne and aftershave - Country Aftershave obviously being the lowest I came to the conclusion after I saw a listing on eBay of the Light Sporting Cologne with the box and on the backside of the very box were the three concentrations listed, with three squares beside their names and the respective numbers of squares filled in ! Of course, the vintage is the way to go ! Either when there was only "Devin" on the sticker or the one you presented my good sir, these two beinf the late '70s and early '80s !!! Chris, thank you so much for everything and leading us on this one ! Cheers !!!
I know I’m in the minority, but I think this is one of the best in the Gentlemen’s Collection. I get a lot of pine and carnation on my skin, and I love it.
Bourbon+whiskey+Aramis Eau de Toilette ➕ It smells like Azzaro Pour Homme whips+Ralph Lauren's Safari for Men whiff. Classic, isn't it? It has a masculine smell reminiscent of astringent, spicy, hard-boiled. It's like Detective Philip Marlowe in Raymond Chandler's novel. Over time, it also smelled like incense. It has a nice, classical, calm smell that looks like an adult.
The warmth you mentioned in combination with the other notes makes something to irritated me on the reissue. Still waer it from time to time but its the least favorite from the gentlemans collection...while Havana beeing my absolute favorite.
Chris, I always marvel at your passion and the neverending variety of scenery you offer up. Keep up the great work!

Very few fragrance reviewers weave a story like you! Terrific work as always, Chris!

Brings back a ton of memories. Just how I'm picturing it in my mind -from my dad's drawer.
Amazing frag. You're in luck, Chris... the vintage version!
Absolutely gorgeous fragrance.
I am just wearing it, and I have to admit it outclasses many expensive niche fragrances.

Great review, location is really nice!
Fantastic review in a wonderful setting! Wonderful to see the original flacon too.
Great video Chris. This fragrance sounds interesting and nice shirt too! Greetings!
I like this fragrance very much. From my view it is similar to CK Obsession for men.

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Beautiful view, thanks Chris!
i need to try the vintage , i have the new version
Another unknown gem, and a beautiful view. Thank you for the review this sound likes a gem.
i have new devin love it.
I have the new version. Brilliant. I get a little dunhill, a little polo, a little kouros. The pachouli is heavier than the original. But they did a great job with it.
Thanks for reviewing these classic scents. I am so sick of the garbage they are selling now.
Fantastic review as usual mate
Hope you and family are doing well.
Regards my friend!!!

Is it more animalic than Aramis Classic?

Chris is similar or reminnds you to witch one?
hi, no not really. It has the typical vibes of those times but doesnt resemble another specific fragrance
Oh man, now I am sad that I sold my bottle. I was trying to consolidate a little 😭
Bourbon+whiskey+Aramis Eau de Toilette ➕ It smells like Azzaro Pour Homme whips+Ralph Lauren's Safari for Men whiff. Classic, isn't it?

Smelling my arm as i watch .Spot on .
I have more scents by the house of Aramis in my collection than any other. Alas not this one. Gotta get it.

No way 2 sprays last all day. Stop lying
Waaaaaay too animalic for my tastes! Total scrubber for me.
Compared to Aramis Classic, more or less animalic?
@@uzi_187 Much much more
@@richtaylor2454 Damn, then it's a hard pass.
