Perfumer Aaron Terence Hughes BLIND RATES BEST FRAGRANCES OF 2023!

[@kirky9449]

Aaron giving Le Male Elixir a 9 has eased my mind about blind buying it an hour ago

[@ZayFlxx]

True but also, what may smell amazing to him won’t for the next person and so on.

[@AdrianGoodloe]

I made the mistake of blind buying BDC EDP, YSL Y edp etc and can’t stand them. I have to smell them on my skin before buying from now on.

[@ZayFlxx]

@@AdrianGoodloe BDC parfum is the one I would recommend. Absolutely love that variant

[@fqq4137]

it’s fckin class mate

[@slamdownwarfare]

You won't regret it!

[@iamlove5325]

Chris I have known of you since your Perfume Parlour days. I have to say that I like you. One of the reasons I like you is that you are very good with people. You have the ability to make a variety of personalities feel comfortable. You show everyone respect. I really appreciate that about you. God bless you.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I appreciate you saying that. Cheers!

[@LyubomirX]

There is nothing better on YT Fragrance than a video with Arron and Chris where they rate fragrances.

[@mahsoomhussain]

I'm offended! 😅

[@Alotofambitions]

“ it smells like carrot” 😂😂😂😂 i absolutely love aaron, he is hilarously savage sometimes, always honest and raw opinions🔥

[@ricardolivramento7604]

I like Aaron honest about everything that’s a awesome collab for sure do more for the Fans thank u guys !!! 🥂

[@shannonvienneau]

The way he says “oh dear” when he revealed spice bomb infrared 😂😂❤

[@everardocalderon8720]

I only watch this type of content for entertainment and not as a guide because everyone has very different taste buds for perfumery as for everything else, while Aaron is a great perfumer, I’ve heard, he mentioned he hates green perfumery but that’s one of my favorite categories, in the spring time I only wear greens and sometimes also in the summer if it’s not too hot, meanwhile I’m not a big fan of the blue ones.

[@ClaudiaGarcia-hu5uo]

I love Aaron, he's honest and explains in depth the chemistry of perfumery. Chris you're always a delight. Love your content 🔥

[@FRAGMENTAL]

I appreciate that!

[@SQ96_]

Would have loved to have seen Aaron’s reaction to Hugo Boss Elixir. I’m in love with that fragrance.

[@theorgazoid4918]

I don't like it but it's absolutely beast mode. I sprayed once on my jacket in a department store and the room where my jacket was absolutely stunk of it 48 hours later

Love these videos! Thanks for getting Aaron to rate Roja frags especially. Always interested in his thoughts on them

[@lowrider419fly]

Love Aaron's nose and brain for fragrances.

[@chicagoturntablism]

You and Aaron collabs are my favorite!

[@HonorGuard117]

I have Le Male Elixir and Le Beau Le Parfum. Both are some of my fav fragances of all time. Jean Paul Gaultier and Tom Ford currently my two fav fragrance designers.

[@Taurus117]

Tom ford ombre leather is incredible!

[@charon0815]

We need more of this duo!!

[@SHROOMTECH]

Good lord. I was going through fragmental withdrawals. Cheers good sir. And thank you for your content.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

My pleasure!

[@lukaspriest]

Awesome video. I have a bottle of Le Male Elixir showing up tomorrow, and I'm super stoked. I remember gasping with pleasure the first time I smelled the opening at a department store.

[@goldzahnjackson8729]

Roja is absolutely french inspired. He used to work for guerlain

[@blacsheep19]

Aaron is one honest bredda which is why i like his channel...never change Aaron

[@ajgunari]

Would love to hear his thoughts on Absolu Aventus

[@MattJames37]

Le male elixir is a nice reach for me in the weather we are having in the UK right now. V&F Spicebomb Infrared EDP is interesting, I've tried the original and the extreme not really my thing. I'll look for this when I'm next in town thanks guys! Great collab as well!

[@kaeganthornhill3936]

Fantastic Showdown to Wrap up last year.

[@richards9750]

I bloody love Aaron. A man who knows how ingredients

[@hamishmaude390]

I’m not sure I could ever justify buying a Roja fragrance… there are so many nice fragrances that are less than half the price… don’t need the “blue shiny cap”

[@SparkyP320]

Aaron’s own stuff is amazing. I bought3 small 10ml bottles of w.e I could get my hands on and all 3 are all different and amazing! Ended up buying a big bottle of Luna. Raw cherry is my 2nd fav of the 3 and then Haze Extreme which is also great 👍

[@SparkyP320]

@@maalikfazal1406 I’m sorry I mis-wrote. It is haze extreme not Onyx extreme!!

[@maalikfazal1406]

@@SparkyP320 it’s fine, I misread it. Take care 🙏🏽

[@shajiwahab]

Someone should do a video on the best ATH fragrances

[@dahnyul]

I love these videos so much. And I think it's cool that you guys have such a different takes and noses for fragrance, but still come together for these clashes of titans 🙂 Love your work! Have a great weekend!

[@aleksandarmarkovic4992]

This time clearly expressed differences of opinion regarding preferences. Aron approached it quite subjectively, where he made sure that the assessment was objective, and Chris immediately pointed out the differences in the sense that one category of consumers likes this and another likes something else

[@Mojo8]

Thanks Chris & Aaron, I agree about Habit Rouge, bought it and sold it, tough wear. But I love TF Grey Vetiver Parfume but prefer the original. Le Mal is great IMO. I gotta tell Aaron I wore his original Tabac yesterday and it is by far my favorite of tobacco fragrances very dark & dirty and ashy as well anamlic stuff a 10 out of 10 for me so glad I scored a 50ML bottle for around $150.00 at Maxaroma before the price increase!! Cheers Mate😎

[@realfake3783]

love the collabs with Aaron

[@asterius4271]

Always love the videos with Aaron! Such a master perfumer and very kind to share his knowledge and opinions so often and freely. Can't wait to see how his fragrances evolve over the years to come

[@misterbeane]

I would LOVE to see ATH do a blind test between OG stuff and cheap clones, especially all of the newer Afnan and Lataffa stuff. BdC EDP vs. CDNIM Iconic, Turathi Blue vs. Tygar, Roja Elysium vs. DUA Supernova, etc. It’d be great to see how quickly he’s able to pick which one is the OG and then what differentiates the clone from it.

[@lawrences.6298]

He has one with Aventus vs clones. Just in case you haven't seen it already. Very interesting

[@V1ralB1ack]

I love Aaron's reviews I start my mornings everyday with a new review of his and his voice is like an angel telling me about a new fragrance I saw but know nothing about ❤️

[@mmerry6021]

Aaron has top notch styling on that beard.

[@Nick-k3h]

i feel like I can watch these two all day

[@sabrinaeulalie1129]

Same tastes as him. But neverthelss, i can love some perfumes with Vetiver and green notes. I Love : "Le Mâle Elixir" "Spicebomb Red Infrared" "Aqua di Gio Parfum"

[@jso-pw1vy]

Looking forward to part two.

[@re-z8296]

You should have included pdm Althair

[@BungleTheGooner]

Aaron and I are similar in favourite frag profiles; I really dislike greens and almost exclusively wear sweeter scents; JPG le male le parfum is todays smell-juice.

[@terrysmiles8599]

I have Tom Ford Grey Vetiver parfum and edt....Edt being the best but love both!

[@ericgeneric135]

Great video as always!

[@Ripsnort12]

Great video! Enjoyed Aaron's breakdown on each fragrance. Very interesting ~

[@jackdonith]

Aaron gives a 10 to Spicebomb Infrared EDP but I think he gave the EDT (?) a 7 in an older video and said he appreciated but it wasn't his style or something. Are they that different?

[@FragranceScents]

I love your channel. Which is your absolute favorite top 5 fragrances of all time, and your top 5 synthetic and natural ingredients?

[@kriskasa6476]

Rioja isola blue is my ultimate fav perfume.

[@Le_Trouvere]

Tom ford grey vetiver EDT which is almost impossible to find, (discontinued??) Is absolutely amazing, super clean and a great bright citrus note missing from the newer versions. Such a shame it's gone

[@fredguichardo6827]

aaron love spice woody fragrances and slightly fruity. kinda my vibes too

[@terrysmiles8599]

Very Nice Chris Aaron!!!

[@edgroves2051]

Vertiver or vetiver?

[@kd_dsgb]

This video tells me that even perfumers like designer fragrances more than niche fragrances.

[@theorgazoid4918]

Not everyone wants to smell like a 13th century church . 😂

[@carlito7863]

I would like to see the reaction of Aaron for nishane Sultan Vetiver

[@apothe6]

Wait Aaron like Infrared EDP?!

[@jdmb03]

Aaron is having Habit Rouge nightmares. 😆

Sweet-Green Aaron? Might want to get some inspiration from Lolita Lempicka - Green Lover, I would start right there.

[@dh7314]

I also dislike Vetiver, it weirdly affects my breathing. Makes my chest tight, I think I have some sort of allergy to it.

[@Sabre-vz9xy]

Acqua di Gio Parfum smells great, but for some reason doesn't last on my skin. :( After 2, to 2,5 hours it's almost gone, have to press my nose to my wrist to detect it. 😐

[@distant40]

Just a quick out of context question if anyone is willing to help, i own a 40ml bottle of ADG Profondo, and i was wondering if it's possible to refill it with the ADG Parfum 150ml bottle "replacement filler". Thanks 😄

[@Dan_Stank]

I share Arron's sentiment about Vetiver but with Iris! I just don't like it and can't get along with it. Even find accords of it where it doesn't exist and it puts me off the fragrances (Encre Indigo for example). Shame, because it means I miss out on so many fragrances.

[@snubbii9276]

There should be more carrot notes in scents. Fair play that ATH Hayes mass appealing notes, still not sure what he has against Vetiver, not everyone wants or needs super sweet bangers

[@hlee2]

time checkmarks would be very helpful

[@hojubaby]

Man i love vetiver especially creed original vetiver 😂 but it does have grandma’s house vibes

[@cezarjipa72]

Habit Rouge Parfum is green ?!

When is Smoulder II coming out guys?

[@nessnessly2993]

Don't think I'll be buying from Aaron fragrance. TF parfum & Habit rouge are masterpieces.

Guerlain honey tobacco is the best frag of 2023 ☺️

[@warrendchild]

How much and where to get it?

@@warrendchild The guerlain website. It's pricey but it's so good. Price considered I think JPG is the best frag this year, but just based on sme I love HT

[@inflatablemoose157]

Please have Aaron smell Hugo Boss bottled Elixir and Hugo Boss Bottled pacific. Hugo Boss is not getting enough love lately.

[@NazgulfromLOTR]

I find it weird how Aaron said he hates smokey vetiver yet had a good opinion on Encre Noire.

[@cjstats1514]

He prob hates the 1 note. Butnof it's blended really good with other notes, he may still likenthe overal smell.of the fragrance.

[@PONO-go3ee]

I Learned Something Vetiver Can Go Cigarettes Smoke , I would always wonder 👀WTF ! Who’s smoking Cigz even after I shower sometimes I’d spray Acqua Di Geo OG, and would always think How can a Freshy Water Scent have that Smoke plus other things Would give me that , 😳

[@polanialmoni6274]

Why my infrared edp just smell of red pepper! I hate it! It was diffrent in the store!

[@dans4786]

ATH clearly had a discussion with his hands before making this video and told them to keep it low-key

[@Thegooob95]

When is “perfumer rates cheapies” like cdnim, hunter intense, the lataffa clones etc

[@craigbradford8467]

Bring Aaron's nose to Hiram Green Hide, I want to know if he'll say burnt sausages 😂😂

[@lawrences.6298]

Fragrances are really subjective. Even Aaron knows that which is why he mentioned him developing a green centric fragrance for those who likes it but him personally not. It's when everyone finds a fragrance everyone unanimously likes or love is when we see what a true great or masterpiece is from the so-so. True beauty is universal.

[@DanielBrown-nj3th]

Aaron has laughed at me after I said he is very inspirational being he does so well with being neurodivergent like myself. He is fun to listening to going over notes in fragrances. Don’t like him, but he’s fun to listen too in order to learn more.

[@69Savageee]

Love this video but Aaron gotta get rid of that Halloween 2 Michael Myers haircut

[@Mi3940]

Right now i am just watching ATH BOTOX doing such great job✌️😂

Guerlain Tobacco Honey. Tauer Nexin. All of these are solid picks. You pulled out the Sephora specials ☹️
