Clones and dupes inspired by:
Aramis Devin, created by Bernard Chant in 1977, is a vintage aromatic-woody leather fragrance projecting sharp green brightness and dry, refined masculinity for tailored evenings.
The Sniff Test is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Aramis.

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.
The composition of Devin opens with bright citrus and green facets: galbanum and aldehydes sit with bergamot, lemon, orange, lavender and artemisia to form a sharp, aromatic top. The heart moves into resinous pine needles while carnation, cinnamon, jasmine and caraway add warm spice. Its base settles on leather, oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli, musk, amber and cedar, yielding a green, woody leather core with amber depth. Launched by Aramis in 1977 and created by Bernard Chant for men, Devin is generally regarded as a classic aromatic-woody fragrance; a 4.11/5 average from 962 votes shows many wearers value its vintage character.
Our take
I enjoy Devin for its green, piney leather core and the old-school woody-mossy feel; the spice heart gives it personality without feeling loud. On my clothes it lasts and projects well, though on skin the strength varies and some people will find it thin. I prefer it in cooler weather and use light sprays to avoid an overly dry leathery edge. Availability and mixed reports on projection are drawbacks, but when it works for me the scent feels characterful and good value.

The Bottle
Aramis Devin’s bottle is a conventional object, built around a squat rectangular shape with rounded shoulders and lower corners. Amber-gold liquid gives the clear-looking form some warmth, while the dark green label and silver cylindrical cap add restrained contrast. It is tidy and recognizable, but hardly a memorable piece of packaging.
Original or Clone
Bernard Chant’s authorship gives Aramis Devin a clear reason to buy the original: this is a named composition, not merely a list of aromatic, woody and green effects. Its standing is also tangible in the market; one house has tried to reproduce this character. That effort confirms the fragrance has a distinct place, though it tells us nothing about resemblance. We therefore favour the original on authorship, while an interpretation remains a reasonable choice for readers who want to explore the idea.
