PERFUMER RATES BEST ELIXIR FRAGRANCES

the dynamic duo . Aaron's perception and analyses are amazing

[@mattl7424]

Ramsey has more depth. But fragrance is subjective

[@thomasvn]

Please tell Aaron that he needs to find an EU reseller. We are missing out on his creations.

Aaron is awesome!! His attitude about appreciating something without having to love it is so refreshing and welcome. You guys are a class act 👌

[@droy7101]

dior suvage elixir is on a different league when it comes to projection and longevity. There are no other perfumes in this price range as strong as this. and very few if you go higher on the price range.

[@SHROOMTECH]

This channel is the definition of quality over quantity. I admire the hustle of channels that put out daily videos but there’s really only so much that you can talk about when it comes to fragrance and a lot of their lists are completely interchangeable from day to day. It’s a breath of fresh air that you put more time and thought into your videos. Keep it up!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@accradata]

​@FRAGMENTAL exactly brother, you should do your next video fully naked to really mix it up and keep things fresh👍

Le Male Elixir is an absolutely masterpiece and my biggest compliment getter 😍😍

[@PattyOFurniture1]

I thought the same when I tried a tester in store and wanted to get it once my Le Male Le Parfum finished. But today I wore my Le Male Le Parfum and I fell in love again. I'm not so sure which is my favourite anymore...

[@theonedonn]

@@PattyOFurniture1what’s the difference between them?

[@roelhoremans5887]

​@@milosb9979His most recent Kenzo creation (EdP) is an ace in my book as well. And dirt cheap compared to many other designer brands.

[@jslartey2]

@@theonedonnbiggest noticeable difference is a bit of added tobacco and a healthy dose of honey in the elixir, where le Parfum is a bit muted and floral forward. Elixir is less versatile, but very good for the occasions you’d wear it to, like out on a cooler night. Le Parfum is classier, slightly more mature, and can be worn casually or dressed up very well.

[@MarkJYule]

Totally agree and the performance is astonishing - lasts on my skin into the next day.

[@burkaanc]

i have sauvage elixir, while i cant say its best fragrance for me, it is a masterpiece that blows my mind every time i wear it. and its strong enough that is decent value

[@jaybrick8973]

Yeah the compliments I've gotten with that one has been amazing

[@accradata]

Aaron is a machine when it comes to fragrances. What a talent, he knows his game

[@seanhickling7340]

I tried three of these fragrances at Boots on Saturday. I had tried and loved the Sauvage Elixir the previous week and went specifically to buy that but wanted to compare it to others. The One Million was nice but disappeared very quickly. It was completely gone by the time I left the store. The Sauvage Elixir was superb and I walked out with a bottle. The Le Male Elixir I was suprised how much I actually liked it. The store assistant said it smelled completely different on me from anyone else who had tried it, she was absolutely intrigued. That was about 5pm on Saturday and it's now 9am Monday morning and although the others have gone (the Sauvage only an hour or so ago) I am still getting wafts of the Le Male and it's incredible! Definitely will be buying some this week because there is obviously something going on with this fragrance and my body chemistry.

[@christosnicolaides7707]

La male elixir is surprisingly good on the dry down i bought it out of curiosity as i mainly own niche brands but its a great scent for everyday use and definitely an autumn winter fragrance

[@pheonixeternal8981]

Love Paco rabanne I got into the 1 million elixir as soon as it released I’ve got the victory elixir coming very soon so that will be cool. No elixir is crap in my opinion if I were to be asked it’s all about what scent you like and want to wear to just uniquely be you.

[@SamuraiAtlas]

I have 57 colognes and Dior sauvage elixer is my favorite it’s an absolute modern masterpiece it’s sooooooo goooddd

[@chrischio86]

I'm seriously considering opening a fragrance boutique to be able to work with many companies obviously but specifically with Aaron to get and keep his fragrances available in the US. His crrations are such a gift to the fragcom, they are works of art. His love and pride of his work shows and should be available to be enjoyed by anyone who desires.💯🦄. Its also amazing how far he's come over the past few years. He used to mot have a clue about most fragrance brands and now he can pick them out in seconds. A true genuis in his field.

[@MuzikM_85]

Azzaro pour homme was the first ever Elixir which gets no credit for being the first to use Elixir name Dior stole the name from Azzaro

[@Shadowan]

Invictus victory elixir is pretty nice to wear on colder days

[@mikelanon5390]

Im new to the fragrance scene, only getting into it about 9 months ago, but I love the JPG Le Male Elixir. It's got this beautiful, creamy, soothing and just honey smell to it. But I also find it interesting you picked Paco Raban 1 Million Elixir to be your favourite, as I really liked that when smelling it and it was also next to the JPG Le Male Elixir. They both smelt really good to me!

[@Tripokaridos22]

Elixir Roots are (like most words in earth) from Greek word Xerion that means dry , it used for alchemy . Arabic and Egypt world borrowed it and after changes now its EL- Exerion = Elexerion ( Ελιξιριον In modern Greek ) .

[@shawnfahoum5504]

Invictus elixer is so damn fire, super strong too and huge compliment getter

Aaron is cool. He's honest and very professional and has a great channel himself. Never stop bringing him on your channel, his coolness is starting to rub off on you a bit

[@kieranmcdonald4376]

Le Male elixir smells like my bag pack when I used to carry my Spicebomb extreme and a packet of spearmint chewing gum in with it. Love it and it’s very non offensive too!

[@MarkJYule]

My wife says they smell the same - with LME being more powerful, SBE more subtle. I can be sparing with the JPG but need a few sprays with SBE or it fades quickly 🤷‍♂️

I tried on Dior Sauvage Elixir at a store and forgot about it. I didn't wear that jacket for weeks and when I put it on again the smell was still 100% there. Wild that it lasts that long. Also, that stuff really burns!! It reminds me it that cologne from Anchorman LOL

[@vaneh6982]

[@boogiedaddy3434]

Always great to see you guys together. Looks like I need to get my nose on that Centauri Elixir. I've never heard of the brand before and I love checking out indie houses.

[@NiKoJlaY]

I have a question. How do you guy's recognize that a fragrance is French style perfumery, or Italian , which things makes that fragrance to smell like a french style or any other styles. Aaron a lot of times in his reviews, says that this fragrance is a french style perfumery. What makes that perfume to smell french. Thank you.

[@YoungASUCarey]

U have them all?

[@uplightuk8924]

I have One Million Elixir, Le Male Elixir, Invictus Elixir, Sauvage Elixir, Ralph’s Club Elixir, Hugo Boss Elixir and Gucci Elixir. Invictus Elixir is the weakest out of all of them in terms of performance, with the best performers being Sauvage and Gucci. They both last 24 hours easily.

[@TheThekapuka]

@@uplightuk8924 it all depends on the PH of each person ,

[@TrephineArtist]

Le Male Elixir is nice enough but overly familiar to my nose ie nothing new. Reminds a bit of Lanvin Avant Garde which had beeswax & tobacco accords and even CK One Shock. Very well done tbf.

[@sabrinaeulalie1129]

I love them but (Dior) "Sauvage Elixir" is the one i like the least. If i had to choose just one between these perfumes, it would be too hard. So my 3 favorites are : "Le Mâle Elixir" "Invictus Elixir" and "One Million Elixir". I don't have a particular order of preference for ranking them. I just love them. Love the sweet, warm, enveloping and intoxicating scents with a really good projection and sillage. And i think that they really do the job ! 🔥😍

Glad he gave 1 Million a high rating because it reminds me of his Slut Elixir. Slut Elixir is way better with much more amazing notes in it, but they have a similarity and neither makes one of the other redundant. They actually layer well.

[@Batman.97]

I earn the first 4 fragrances and let me tell you guys, the most complimented one for me has been one million elixir and my least one has been sauvage elixir. Telling you that, people like more normal, sweet, and not complex notes on a fragrances so thats why sauvage elixir, being a masterpiece, is a complex fragrance and not many people like it. So be sure what do you want on a fragrance and by your idea, buy the one you prefer as the best option for you.

[@stevenwayne2606]

Sauvage Elixir has been my most complimented fragrance I've ever worn, I got a compliment after thirty minutes of wearing it the first time. Part of that maybe because people can smell it from across the room and it leaves an intense long scent trail.

I do remember some older video of yours Chris where you described some alleged "tobacco" fragrance (can't remember which one it was,) but I did comment there that I could not really get actual tobacco from it, and in any case, it was not the most prominent note in that fragrance profile for sure. So I suggested then, better to highlight the overall major profile features (e.g. sweet, ambery, floral, creamy, woody, gourmand, powdery, etc.) and possibly the most prominent note(s) when it's patently clear there are such (e.g. iris, vetiver, vanilla, smokey leather, or even tobacco when that's the case) but not listing a fragrance as a "tobacco" one, when the tobacco is either clearly not the main or most prominent note, or it's even questionable whether there's actual tobacco in there.
