What do reviewers say about Usher VIP and Aramis Life My Summer?
The sugared caramel sweetness in the opening is either this fragrance's best quality or its worst, depending on who you ask. Here's the thing: once you get past that.Usher VIP
This is the scent of someone who chose the rooftop bar, not the lobby. Citrus that bites before it soothes, then cardamom and saffron doing the real talking.Aramis Life My Summer
