Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Aramis Cool Blend is a men’s fragrance released in 2010, a time when brands updated classic masculine lines to attract younger buyers. It has a bright citrus opening of bergamot, lime and Amalfi lemon, a heart of jasmine, sage, cardamom and cinnamon, and a warm base of sandalwood, leather and amber. The scent reads as citrus-forward and aromatic with noticeable warm spicy and woody facets, plus a faint white floral thread. With a 4.22/5 average from 40 votes, it is generally well regarded and known among fans for reliable longevity and daytime spring and summer wear.
Our take
I enjoy Cool Blend for its lively citrus top that turns into a spiced, slightly floral middle and a warm leather-sandalwood base. On me it lasts all day and projects well, though a light hand is best since it can be strong if overapplied. I reach for it on warm days and for daytime use in spring and summer.

The Bottle
Aramis Cool Blend has a short, broad rectangular bottle with rounded shoulders and clear transparent walls. The nearly colourless liquid, dark ridged cylindrical cap, and centered plaque-shaped label give it a conventional, somewhat plain appearance. The dark red-and-black mottled box is more visually distinctive than the bottle itself.
Original or Clone
This original has a credible claim to its place: two houses have tried to reproduce a citrus, aromatic, warm-spicy fragrance with woody support. That attention suggests Aramis Cool Blend has a standing beyond its listing, even though the available market evidence is modest. We also find a practical reason to stay with the original: it is one release from one house, while interpretations can vary between vendors, batches, and availability. On these grounds, buying the original is the better-supported choice, though the data does not establish a measurable advantage in wear.
