At $300+ it better be beastmode and Tom Ford himself should be delivering it personally.

[@kurimao12prof]

hahahahaha

[@terencedouglas1402]

My thoughts exactly 😅

Clive Christian is shaking!!!!

[@mad3arber]

With a gentle rub off...😂❤

[@BigK-uo8eh]

Is that for 50ml or 100ml?

[@antoniobasilio8877]

That price is outrageous.

[@MrTonytalk]

Tbh if anything is this price and it’s not New York oud/satin mood ex/blue sapphire without 3 meter blast and 14 plus hours then it should be thrown away.

[@martianlynch6769]

@@MrTonytalkcurly’s new fragrance is about that much and the bottle is atrocious

Correct! ​@@MrTonytalk

[@chayanne8198]

That's an understatement

Except its not though is it? Curly's is $250 for 100ml this Tom Ford is around $500 for 100ml@@martianlynch6769

[@terencedouglas1402]

This is why I love your videos because you're a perfumer chemist breaking down the science on a level that I can understand. I've learned so much from your channel and always look forward to each video. The only regret I have is not being able to smell any of your fragrances yet. Thanks Aaron for all of your content.

[@michaelbaez8417]

I love your honesty and thoughtfulness Aaron. I agree. With such a high price the consumer should be given more. Unfortunately with designer names that are so well known (like Tom Ford), the price is justified by the brand whether the quality is there or not. And to be honest, many of us wouldn't know the difference in materials being used if it weren't for such a skilled artist and craftsmen like yourself speaking on it. So thank you Aaron.

[@SWTmel]

Great explanation of the Oud process. Thanks!

[@clearmind3022]

This is one of the few fragrance channels. I actually trust Aaron doesn't Fluff or Embellish when reviewing a fragrance. He's Clear, Concise and honest. I have made many purchases based off of his recommendations and reviews. All were 100% right on the money. Not a single regret. I started purchasing Aarons own fragrances. Unfortunately Got put on pause temporarily., I hope the shipping situation gets settled. I have many more to collect and Appreciate!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s great to hear. 2025 we open ATHUS! No more distribution problems!

[@catalinkukuv9010]

@@AaronTerenceHughes looking forward for ATHEU also. Love ✌️

[@faddyie]

Aaron, your work is impressive. I want to give you a big acknowledgment and show my respect. You are enlightening us on how we should comprehend, assess, interpret the scent, and validate the cost. In particular, your insights on the quantity of Oud and the transparency were astonishing. Grateful for all the hard work you put into keeping us aware.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Excellent review. Thank you!

[@tanawatkrubb]

Holy f, so much informative for parfum review, loving this Aaron!

Was super pumped for this review - absolutely loved it as always Aaron!

[@19damo3065]

love your honesty Aaron , such a breath of fresh air.

[@stevepinnock5668]

A fair rating all things considered. I like the way ATH rates fragrances it makes sense. I also enjoy gaining a nugget of knowledge on the science behind brewing oud. This channel is an essential for any fragrance enthusiast.

[@jlove3270]

Excellent review, Thanks again Aaron, we just love your unapologetic honesty!

[@carasparks8500]

No sir😂 we do not have our bottles of oud wood parfum because the price is absolutely unbelievable and I'd never pay that much for a fragrance. And I love fragrances but that price is ridiculous. I wouldn't even wanna try it because if I Like that would be terrible for me. I'm not even willing to pay 200 for 50ml. I think it's just insane. But I love your reviews definitely one of my top 3 favorite reviewers I like to watch. Thank you

[@donmizzi1497]

Thanks for your review Aaron. I was awaiting your thoughts on this new Oud Wood Parfum. You told me what I needed to know and you did so in a very tactful manner. Thanks ❤

[@Adam_StefaniakSaltea_Moonspell]

Aaron, one day you should create something containing this DNA with your touch, because TF isnt gonna do for us. If there is anyone, its you! Greetings from Poland!

[@girift]

I enjoyed the explanation of formulas, radiance, smoothness etc. It is very satisfying with the knowledge included.

[@vandyke1411]

great review as always aaron❤

[@inthelostandfound77]

love the shirt Aaron !

[@the_cuddlyassasin3998]

Love when you discuss the process of making raw perfumery ingredients it really shows how much work goes into a small bottle of cologne

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I’m so pleased. Perfumery is really complex and difficult

[@cameronhuff3494]

I barely even watch for the fragrances anymore. Your voice does it for me every time Aaron!

[@craigbyrne6141]

Excellent sound and picture quality on these videos.

[@loubritton8591]

Gotta love how you get into the nuances of soaking the agarwood chips...I totally agree on CO2 ouds (love Grandawood's) and "new gen" oils being way more approachable (as you demonstrate in your own work!) and a heck of a lot more friendly for blending. Thanks for taking the time and great breakdown on the raw materials, Aaron!

The more I hear you speak about being honest and transparent with THE CONSUMERS and getting away from harmful cheap plastic presentations the more I wish I had your fragrances. You Sir are inspiring. Can’t wait to try your fragrances.

[@AnonAnonAnon]

A very interesting and informative video. Thank you Aaron. I have TF Oud Wood EDT and its interesting to know the background for its production. TF Oud Wood is my goto fragrance for a night out clubbing.

[@Rough_cut613]

Top tier as always Aaron and I'm loving the look for this video! The longer hair finally makes sense ❤ the Vincent Vega vibes are immaculate. I'm so torn on this release, of course I love Oud Wood but everything to do with Tom Ford and Estee Lauder these days feels like customer exploitation. I wish you would do a "homage" to Oud Wood. No one is asking for a clone but I just know you would do a better job.

[@lokey5669]

Thank you Aaron!🤝🏽 have to test it asap would it be possible to review Widian London? I think a lot of people would love to hear your opinion :)

[@simonsteindl8781]

your channel (just found it) is amazing!

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

Love your reviews. Thank you for your honesty, teaching, and coaching on fragrances. For me....Way too expensive for an average buyer like myself and at lower ml. Sorry, I can't get past that no matter how great it is. Maybe if I was a moviestar I could afford it. Or if someone gifted it to me. On to the next vid.

[@iron_gts2255]

I have 9 private blends, love them all. Just ordered this one can’t wait to set it next to my OG Oud Wood!

[@spaztekwarrior]

Nicely explained. Can’t wait try this!

I would love for you to try Alghabra Labarynth of Spices. Its very busy, but I do love it. I think you may also. Be interesting to see.

he said he would made it short no ramblin but he went on with oud and oud and oud HAHA now that's a man who loves his craft and his favorite ingredient.

[@Leonard_Washington76]

Yooo wassup Aaron. Great video review. I’m still hoping to get one of your fragrances still. I wonder if the same perfumer who made the original also make this Parfum version? 🤔

[@mohamedhizem7177]

great video aaron, can you please make a review about YSL M7 oud absolu, thanks

[@DavidGarcia-zu3hl]

I'm not sure anyone provides as rich a description of the chemical reasons for a frag working/or not working and combining it with the sensual impact it has on our brain. Very well done. Might buy a decant. TF prices have gotten a bit much for me when compared to the quality (Vanilla Sex), but this one sounds like it's excellent....but too pricey. Stinks because I love his work, whether Private Edition or not. Great review, thanks.

[@LoveEvelynnArmpit]

Hi Aaron.. Can't wait to see you reviewing "Attraction Fatale" The First Fragrance from Curly Fragrance.. and the perfumer behind it is Chris Maurice🔥

[@richards9750]

Aaron I love the information about how oud is broken down

[@clarissajasmine8607]

*Making money is an action. Keeping money is a behavior, but "Growing money is wisdom" just saw this quote❤✨*

[@FractalSoul1111]

I appreciate the chemistry behind it but I really think it should be rated on SMELL and staying power. Or perhaps a separate rating accordingly.

[@huimo4886]

The BEST perfumer and reviewer

[@mohsinchoudhury85]

ive got the EDP and Intense, so definitely will be adding Parfum to the collection. would have liked it if you compared all three. but as i remember, i don't think you like the intense?

[@user-hg6gy7ri5b]

I believe only this man when it comes to reviews.Very professional and good ethics as well.Far excellent than ladies who talk porn on fragrances and guys who hype the fragrances after getting shit money to literally betray their subscribers.Well done Aron.You are truly an inspiration on how to follow ethics in life

[@draganstankovic2582]

Hi, I really like Your reviews, what do You think about Amouage Silver Oud? Regards

[@seanp7871]

Great review 👍 The price is ridiculous . No deal 🙅‍♂️

[@Phloored]

My favorite oud i had was a attar. It was called Cambodi. It was ❤️. No fecal, just a sorta smooth slightly medicinal then arid slightly floral and woody. It evolved. Really fascinating stuff. I wish i had more. I only got to try it once 😊

[@jcb0920]

Would love to see you pick up Woody Oud, one of the best dups of the EDP, and compare it to the other two to see if you can almost get the same thing at a fraction of the price. Thanks and keep up the phenomenal work!

[@click1click1click]

I have it and it’s synthetic crap that tries to copy the original sent

[@mikekirby2085]

Thats a good way of differentiating things. If there is valid evidence of the virgin angels tears then its a reasonable price. That puts it more on the brands to be transparent.

[@christosnicolaides7707]

Pure class and excellence as always , as for this fragrance all I can say is I paid £320 for aventus absolu and after wearing it I'm not convinced it's worthy of the price tag(but at least its 75ml). I feel this fragrance is giving off that vibe it's just not worthy of the price. I would rather buy amouage black iris or something similar that gives that wow factor plus they are more value for money. I think £320 for 50ml it needs to blow your socks off !

[@prodriver256]

I preferred the EDP after testing both. The sweeter denseness gave the parfum a rubbery scent imo...

[@Chief-Solarize]

Aaron I bought a fragrance recently that is pretty good. It's listed as unisex but the leather makes it swing masculine imo. It's Spirito Fiorentino by Tiziana Terenzi. It's very unique , atleast it doesn't remind me of anything else really. Orange, Lilly of the valley, saffron, ambergris, sandlewood, birch, leather.

[@kevinlenyatsa3648]

The exclusive ✨

[@maalikfazal1406]

Hi Aaron. Hope you’re well. What 3 brands would you like to work with?

[@YeCannyDaeThat]

It's a very rare skill to be both extremely expert on something at a high level but also be able to explain it to a layman like me in terms I can grasp. Great review.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That's very kind of you to say that. I always try to explain concepts in simple, easy to understand way. It always burns my brain after a review. Thank you

[@Vasqueza805]

I keep saying (and hope) that it would be nice if Aaron or one of the other good reviewers (like School of Scent or Justin Copeland for example) does a review of the Cartier Les Hueres Voyage uses. Its hard to find sites that do samples of Oud & Santal, Oud & Amber or Oud & Vanille but despite the price being similar to TF Oudwood Parfum, most online reviews seem to think its worth it? Even the discovery set is $210 US so a review from a boss like Aaron might help oush me over the edge.

[@FoxHound-ch1yy]

Loving your new hairstyle Aaron it looks sweet and it really suits you. Almost makes you look like a Vampire of sorts hehe

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

🧛‍♂️

[@ericgleeson2145]

😂​@@AaronTerenceHughes

[@thefragrancewriter]

Great, quick education on oud. I'd just like to add that some ouds are so rich in oil that they don't even need to soak very long compared to cheaper woods. Also, some ouds can smell like a barnyard without fermenting with oxygen, but it's not the same smell as the fermented ones. I though Oud Wood was always a great representation of pleasant smelling oud

[@iron_gts2255]

I usually draw the line at $340 like with Creed Absolu, but if this is better than the OG like that one, I will cop. I’ll prob just wait till it hit discounters tho

[@smartfart9003]

Oud Wood is among the very few TFs i like, but it better be spectacular at that price.

[@ruddle1168]

I love your reviews Aaron . I think Tom Ford is really expensive and it lacks projection on my skin , oud notes that description worries me

[@brandisayre6371]

My friend, I'm not complaining or saying anything negative in any way, but seeing you in a collared shirt made me do a double take. 😊 I'd rather buy your stuff than TF any day!

[@distant40]

Hello, as I heard you talk about radiance:smoothness ratio, I wondered, where does JPG LeMale Elixir stand? It's quite smooth and it's definitely very radiant so It made me think, trying to figure out the scope of the ratio.

[@MrMannydac]

The price. We are looking at these expensive fragrances from working class/middle class perspectives, and it’s expensive. But Tom Ford and a lot of the other houses are luxury brands that were originally marketed to rich people, and to them, 300 quid isn’t a lot, they’ll spend that on a t-shirt that they’ll wear a few times. I’m not defending these prices btw, it just is what it is.

[@MR.Speedy]

Cool hair 😎✨

Awesome review. How does it compare to Thameen's Carved Oud?

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Il be comparing soon!

[@FranciscoMartinez-rm6iw]

would love to see a review of BURBERRY HERO PARFUM

[@caoslikewhoa]

I’ve got to be honest , I have never smelled oud wood because of the price… I did buy Thameen carved oud because I heard it was similar but even better ( I couldn’t believe ) but. To this day it is my only empty bottle within my collection…. Soon to be imbue .. ( classic smooth formulation of GUCCI POR HOMME II ) done by Parfums vintage

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

Me too, it smells so good. I have to re-purchase. The performance is very good on Carved Oud also

Sounds fantastic. Love a man with a plan! 😂 ​@@AaronTerenceHughes

[@georgeatte788]

At about 400 euros, I would much rather get something from Amouage which has a larger bottle 100ml. I'm guaranteed much better sillage and performance and their woody scents are incredible.

Hi Aron, when would blue fever be back in stock please!

[@bubba7177]

Not directly on topic, but I am wondering if can review Dior's New Look. I do not care about how it compares to the older New Look 1947 - just what are your thoughts on this new release.

[@MrPunkdrunk78]

ATH Tobac is the best Oud fragrance I’ve come across, so if I had to pick between Oud Wood and Tobac it would be a no brainier. Plus Tobac has way better longevity.
