Aramis New West for women - Opinios Reviews

Every spritz of New West takes me back to the '90s, where my love for fragrances began. The initial burst of green and aquatic notes is like revisiting a fresh, serene landscape I once knew. It's astonishing how the scent has retained its vibrancy even after all these years. The dry down is where it truly shines for me - the woodsy notes mingled with a subtle floral caress are nothing short of divine. It's a crying shame they discontinued it; I'm on my last bottle, using it sparingly for moments when I need a dash of nostalgia.

Since my cherished New West got discontinued, I've been on a hunt for something similar. My search led me to Davidoff's Cool Water for Women. While it's not an exact match, the aquatic notes instantly reminded me of New West's refreshing oceanic signature. Cool Water is more floral, but it carries that same initial burst of fresh air that New West fans would appreciate. It's been my go-to, especially during summer months, for that splash of coolness New West used to provide.

I stumbled upon New West in my early twenties, and it was love at first sniff. The scent is unique, a harmonious clash between oceanic freshness and earthy woods that somehow becomes this ethereal experience. I've never found anything quite like it again. Every time I wear it, someone is bound to ask what I'm wearing. It became my signature scent until it got discontinued, and now I'm wandering through fragrance aisles hoping to find something that can match its charisma.

I've found solace in Estée Lauder's 'Pleasures' after my endless search for something to fill the void left by New West. The green notes underpinned by a rich base give me brief flashbacks of my beloved New West. 'Pleasures' has a more pronounced lily note, but the core spirit of fresh, clean, and slightly woody is there. It doesn't replace New West, but it comforts me knowing a similar spirit lives in this bottle.

Being a fragrance collector, I've encountered numerous scents, but New West for her holds a special place in my collection. Its sillage and longevity are remarkable, easily lasting all day with a subtle yet present aura. The melange of crisp, aquatic notes with green undertones and a hint of floralcy is spellbinding. I managed to purchase a couple of bottles after it was discontinued, and it's heartbreaking to know that once they're gone, it's the end of an era. This scent is timeless, and I'm perplexed why Aramis ever decided to discontinue it.

Giorgio Armani's 'Acqua di Gioia' gave me hope when I was about to give up my search for a New West alternative. The fragrance has that familiar aquatic feel but with a hint of citrus that makes it lively. It's not New West, but it's the closest scent that’s given me that fresh, outdoorsy vibe I've been missing. Plus, its longevity is impressive, something that was paramount with New West.
