Rare Vintage Aramis Eau de Cologne – Late 1960s / Early 1970s "Lava Box" Edition
This is a stunning find for fragrance collectors and enthusiasts of vintage men's grooming. You are looking at a first-generation style bottle of Aramis Eau de Cologne, dating back to the late 1960s or early 1970s. This specific version is highly sought after for its original, potent formulation which predates modern ingredient restrictions.
The Highlights:
• The "Lava" Box: Featuring the iconic dark mottled brown and gold design (the "tortoise shell" or "lava" pattern) that defined the brand’s golden era.
• Original Formula: This is the rich, masculine "Woody Chypre" that made Aramis famous. Unlike modern versions, this vintage contains deep notes of real oakmoss, leather, and castoreum for incredible longevity and character.
• The 2004 Code: Please note that the "2004" printed on the box is a period-correct distribution code used by Estée Lauder at the time and is not the year of manufacture.
• Dual Measurements: The box and bottle feature the vintage "120 CC" designation alongside "120 ml," a hallmark of mid-century packaging.
Condition & Volume:
• Volume: This was originally a 120ml bottle. It currently remains approximately 110ml full (see photos for exact level).
• Scent: The juice is a beautiful, deep amber. It has been stored carefully and retains its legendary punchy, herbal, and leathery profile.
• Box: The original box is included. It shows light vintage wear around the edges (as pictured), which adds to its authentic mid-century charm.
Fragrance Notes:
• Top: Artemisia, Bergamot, Cinnamon, Gardenia.
• Heart: Pelargonium, Patchouli, Vetiver, Sandalwood.
• Base: Leather, Oakmoss, Amber, Musk.
This is a rare opportunity to own a nearly-full bottle of one of the most influential men's fragrances of the 20th century. Perfect for use or as a centerpiece for a vintage collection.
