By Kilian Back To Black Review | Perfumer Reviews

[@chrisfairbarn9908]

Also: it's exciting to have a fragrance reviewer who is a perfumer. There's knowledge and depth to the opinion we just don't get from others. I have about 6/7 online reviewers I watch and you have catapulted to the top. Well done mate.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

You havnt seen anything yet,. I have some amazing ideas for 2020. Totally different and exciting ATH

[@iSpitboxer]

Agree 100%

[@rustyshackleford17]

I know a perfumer rating other perfumers may bring some concerns. But I've always found it strange that there are very few people who actually have knowledge of the chemistry.

[@Garverick19]

Really digging what you’ve put out so far. I binge watched every single one of them last night. Can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

This is just the start. Thanks for watching. ATH

[@harryiglesias]

ATH, man you make the great majority of KZbin reviewers come accross as simple amateurs...it's not even fair actually. I really hope you review many more fragances. Love the knowledge and passion.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I have 20 samples coming up. then a break till January. Ive only just started. I love reviewing. Ive been stuck developing mine for 10 years. So its like a child in a sweet shop. ATH

[@c.l.loveless4127]

I absolutely adore going back and watching these older videos. How far you have come. But the curious wonder in your approach is intoxicating. I love your journey.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Glad you like it! This is my favourite Kilian🙂

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

FRAG-MENTAL thanks Chris. It’s beautiful. So wonderful to sample some beautiful art.

[@Buxtonphil]

FRAG-MENTAL was great to see him enjoy a fragrance lol

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

@@Buxtonphil Chris has the taste of an expensive, educated man. So not really surprised. ATH

[@brucemiller9271]

Aaron this is one of my favorite Cologne ever. At 70 years old this is one cologne that has a true Darkness and live up too the name. Being retired I wear it in cologne Oil, compliments after compliments there's nothing like Back to Black. If my oil is this close if I could afford the actual Killian Black to Black all can say is WOW

[@oussochou4186]

Hi Chris, more than BLACK PHANTOM?

[@chrisfairbarn9908]

This is the only fragrance I've ever seen you like, now I need a sample.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

If I recommend it at a 9./10 its good. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. ATH

[@iaido01]

pardon from nassomatto he have a 10 in the future episodes. and he love parfums de marley brand

[@time4jesus]

"Cedarwood: Smells like a cigar box" 10/10 easily relatable! More of these descriptions for the rest of us please!

[@JoeCoplen]

I finally got a decant of this. I wasn't a big fan of the opening, but as it's sat for 30-60 minutes, I love it. The honey/vanilla/cedar just lingers. So happy I came back to this video as I got to try it!

[@thesissurvey3819]

What a coincidence! I wore this fragrance to a gala a couple of days ago. Red dress & Back to black, I felt like I was on top of the world. Great review, I wish you would review a couple more of Kilian’s fragrances, such as Love, don’t be shy. Thank you for the great content, you made my day :)

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Julia Xx love should be bold. More love less basic emotions and the world would be beautiful

[@meltaylor1277]

Enjoyed your description of this one. I do wish companies would release a variety of different sized bottles when things are expensive as more people could afford a 10 or 30ml bottle. Glad your launch went well.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I agree. Which is why ive done 10ml. SO everyone can have something special. We should all have that special, magical fragrance we use for special times. ATH

[@frankwhite3436]

I must try this fragrance after that endearing description. You mention dyslexia often yet you read pretty well. Would love a video about your story.

I just picked this one up about a month ago, and I absolutely love it! Thanks for the great review, fun to hear you describe it!

That's actually the best review of Kilian back to Black I saw so far, pure talent, pure pleasure

[@alexsalvara9958]

Hi Aaron. I truly trulyyyyyy invested on this one. I actually bought another Kilian which I also INVESTED was Amber Oud more expensive to Back to Black. Both perfume are Kilian Killer. SERIOUSLY. It's worthy but wow. How expensive they are. Like always, beautiful review. Can't wait to watch your other perfumes reviews. Thank you.

[@thatmakesscents7113]

I have sampled about ten of Kilian's fragrances in the past few weeks. I already purchased Black Phantom, this will be my next investment! Gorgeous honey and tobacco.

[@jamiesonbradyjuiced_up9745]

Another banging review. I like Kilian's quality and a few of the line are decent. I'm not a fan of tobacco frags as a rule but thought this was really nice, although I get mostly flowered honey more than tobacco to be fare. I'm looking forward to smelling your Tob/Oud/Van as i've great things about it!!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thats a banging fragrance. I use real Vanilla tincture and real tobacco extract. Your smell the difference right away. Im excited for you to try my work. ATH

Exciting video Aaron. Your thoughts really expand my mind. Definitely going to sample

[@augustolegal]

Favorite channel right here. Thank you for creating this and giving us a pro review of fragrances

[@Tamemeren]

I bought this fragrance around the time it came out. Then it was possible to buy 30ml (4x7. 5 ml little glass bottles) meant to use in a travel spray and for the 30ml i think i paid around 30-40 euro's. Now you have to buy the fragrance with the travel spray which is much more expensive. But yes, worth it ☺ Wonderful review, thank you.

[@frputich]

Thank you for your passionate review! Really enjoy your videos! 🙏🏽

[@dottygirl6973]

Great review as always. I must say you're looking nice and refreshed today. I like this fragrance, but the fragrance didn't like me. The honey note was a killer on my skin. It basically turned to a wee wee smell. I've been scared of trying anything with the strong honey note ever since.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Its good to know what we don't like so we can move to what we like. Ive got a lot of samples coming up. I have one coming up that might be suitable for you. Maybe Monday. ATH

[@dottygirl6973]

Oh thank you, I have put an order for Slut, and blood orange. I can't tell you when I've been this excited to receive a fragrance order. P.S No need to reply, I know you're busy replying to others. Take care now.

[@bromunn8102]

Yes Kilian! I don't have $300 for a bottle but might just sample a decant. Love your review! One of the first that got me on the fragrance train was Black Phantom by Kilian. I could only afford a decant. I then set out to find a more affordable "inspiration" I could wear, landing on Alexandria Fragrances, and then Genre Parfums version. Also another one of my faves is from a different house- Nassamotto, scent Baronda. Love the boozy notes. Do you have a favorite boozy fragrance?

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Your know as I review. I am trying everything., Its so exciting. ATH

[@maximilianl4453]

I'm very happy, that you like it. Its my fav. fragrance and i simply love it to the hell and back... So soft, but also strong and so "dark" on its own.

It's amazing the the aftershave army is sending aftershaves for you to review.

The Perfume Parlour version of this smells, to me, very good and also alot like leather balm (the smooth honey/beeswax note/accord). Might upgrade to the original product at some point. On a side note, together with the lavender from my aroma diffuser it smells even better, makes me want to track down a honey/beeswax and lavender perfume.

[@nathanthomas5133]

The Kilians are in refillable bottles so initially you’re paying for the bottle too. They sell their refills at about half the price of the standard bottles so you could just buy a refill bottle & decant into an atomiser & save 50%

Only roughly 25% cheaper where I am
