Most of us in the fragrance line is always afraid of fragrance relaunch, as it always resulted in a totally new scents.  However, the Aramis Havana relaunch is an exact replica of the original classic that was launched in 1994.  For those who are used to the original classic, you will definitely find the new Aramis Havana relaunch under the Aramis Gentleman’s Collection a familiar scent.  If you have also missed this relaunch altogether, no worry as there is another means for you to get hold of the fragrance.

Estee Lauder who is the parent company for the brand Aramis, has a special program that is unique to the industry.  The program is called “The Estee Lauder Companies’ Gone But Not Forgotten program”.  In this program, you are able to request for a search of an already discontinued item that was discontinued in the past 24 months and is manufactured by Estee Lauder.  Estee Lauder will pour in the resources to assist in searching for the discontinued products.  Once they located the products, you get a chance to buy-up a total of six bottles of the fragrance but that also depends on stock availability.
