Perfumer AARON TERENCE HUGHES Rates my FAVOURITE Designer Fragrances!

[@ryanfreeman4955]

Aaron, I tried to review your fragrances on your website. I couldn't find a spot to place one. Your fragrances are amazing. They last forever, pretty much till you wash them off. That being said. I lost my wife to cancer. I was lost for months after that. I then fo7nd you on this channel. You are so passionate and such a wonderful and genuine person. I know it sounds weird to say but you and your fragrances helped me through the terrible time.

[@biggJgrimey7]

I've lost both friends and family to cancer. I wish you well and hope you find peace.

[@JohnnyBFlossin]

So sorry for your loss. Fragrance has helped me too with personal loss. It is very comforting to share this hobby with others. The fragrance community is about enjoying fragrances together and I hope your journey brings you even more happiness brother. Cheers.

[@virtusleather]

No doubt

[@EssenceOfTrance]

Aaron is always impressive with his knowledge on fragrance. That being said, even more impressive is acting like he doesn’t know immediately what most of these scents are.

[@kh7688]

ATH, you've already reviewed Wanted by Night and you really liked it. Surprised you don't remember, given the unique bottle design and quality of the scent.

[@ryanepps771]

Speaking of the man! I'm rocking ATH Neon today. The entire house is steller

[@raulsaavedra709]

Surprised about Aaron's reaction to DHI, given that it was one of the few 10's for him in his own video reviews. This aspect that he does not like in it was not mentioned in his own video (as far as I can remember, will double check.) I'm guessing this might be because of smelling it on the paper strip and not on skin, as it was the case with Spicebomb.

[@tzgzz9245]

exactly what i thought...

[@williammollock4123]

He also acted like he never heard of spicebomb extreme here but he reviewed it himself. Can never tell when people are full of it anymore.

[@AnwarEissawe]

Also the one he smelt here was an older batch, he reviewed a recent one That might be the reason he thought it was different

[@raulsaavedra709]

@@AnwarEissawe Ah didn't know this, makes sense. Consistent with what I remember from other reviewers saying they liked the newer DHI better than the original.

[@AnwarEissawe]

@@raulsaavedra709 The newer batches of DHI are a bit fresher and more versatile, there's a noticeable difference between lets say a 2014 batch and a 2021 batch which Aaron might have. So I don't blame him at all for not recognizing it *Also the bottle looks different from newer batches

[@yusoa]

Aaron actually have reviewed Dior Homme intense and gave it 10/10 maybe because of the test strip he gave it 8 in this video.

[@beau_de_jour]

more over that was the pre2020 DHI, which has a strong vinegar smell due to the high dose of ambrette seed note/musky accord which makes the pre riformulated a little unbalaced. the new one is all throu iris accord / powdery accord / pear sweet accord and cedar accord in the base, all really balanced

[@zxcvbnm2428]

i know rightt ,i watched that vid. he was kinda blown away with it haha. he also love bdc parfum, weird he cant tell . paper strips sucks really

[@henkkman]

The 2020 DHI is superior and more wearable in my opinion. That’s the one ATH gave 10/10 on his own channel.

[@beau_de_jour]

@@henkkman exactly

[@yusoa]

@@henkkman agree

[@AdamTheRaptor]

This is hands down one of the best series' on YT! I love hearing Aaron's expert insight to all kinds of frags. Please keep it up guys! ❤

[@HawaiianCrow]

Keep more Aaron content coming. We love it! Maybe his preferences have changed? How about doing another updated video on your favourite niche fragrances?? Updated versions of the already made videoes. I mean there are SO many fragrance options and different possible videoes to make. Naxos, Alexandria 2, Elysium, Hacivat, Herod, Carlisle, Layton, Grand Soir, Reflection Man, Jubilation Man. And making him smell them blind is really what does it! Keep them coming!

[@pranavmehta4423]

At 16:45 Aaron says he has never worn it, when in fact he has reviewed it on his channel and one of the only fragrances he gave a 10/10 saying there is nothing he would improve upon it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naalcnafprSZr7c Similarly for Oud Wood, he gave it a 7/10 in his review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKXboIGBm6trp5o Shows just how subjective these reviews and ratings can be.

[@akritzas]

he changed his mind on all those perfumes when he was paid...no real review is ever uploaded.

[@leonardmartin6048]

The videos with Aaron are just sublime! Keep em coming

[@android-ud2nf]

Bleu de Chanel parfum is my signature and I layer pure sandal Wood underneath. It’s amazing. Bit expensive but I’m a sucker for the combo. Also the parfum last the longest on my skin. Love the eau de parfum also

[@siamsttr]

Their collab is one of my favorite to-watch videos on youtube!! 👏

[@dakasport]

I love it how Aaron describes Eau Sauvage, he nails it with the blending, it's one of the best blended fragrances out there in my opinion. It's my goto for business meetings, it posses certain gravitas, serious stuff.

[@warrenamulvey]

Aaron's knowledge of fragrance is intriguing. Real nice manner about him. Cool guy! Great video. High quality. Smooth.

Cheers Warren 👍🏻

[@FragranceGame85]

ATH is in the presence of greatness

[@darrenclarkson6021]

I am slightly confused... In June 2021, Aaron reviewed Dior Homme Intense on his own channel, marked it a 10/10, and said he loved it and would not do anything to improve it.... so why now has he given a completely different review on it????

[@Teamshmo]

It's on a tester strip here

[@BigDawgCAM]

Maybe it’s an older formulation of DHI? Really not sure as he has never mentioned the licorice note befofe

[@ParabolaTool]

Yeah I also noticed this because he super loved it in his own video. I've also never smelled licorice in DHI but I HAVE smelled it in Sausage Elixir (and hated it)

[@minimanukuk]

Because he’s pretentious AF.

[@SP000]

He reviewed Wanted by night on his channel a year ago and he said he’s never seen it before.

[@jasonmfalconer]

Missed the Ethol Molto whipping through the base there Aaron. Still a great vid guys thanks

[@voltaire5427]

I'm easy to understand. I see ATH/Frag-Mental together and I click.

[@richards9750]

I adore Oud Wood; it is my favourite Tom Ford PB. It is expensive but it’s 10/10 for me, too. I’d like to add that Tom Ford PB is not designer for me - it’s far too expensive. I have the body wash too lol. Also Chanel Bleu is my favourite designer fragrance, too.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Great seeing Aaron with you, he's has such a great deal of knowledge to share and both of you are honest with your opinions. Can't wait to see more!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Cheers Javier, hope Toronto is treating you well!

[@HeavenRoadV]

Amazing video, I really agree with what you said about freshies. like Bleu de chanel or most of the fresh male designer fragrances, they don't last too long and its like they all smell the same.

[@renegadebrad7448]

I watch Aaron's channel he's bloody good at picking up every single note and araroma chemical in a fragrance, I guess it's a skill a perfumer has but it's difficult for the average guy who loves fragrances like me to comprehend how he can do that, I can pick up some basic stuff like this is fresh and blue style and that is woody and this other has leather and this is darker this is sweet this is musky this is fresh etc but no way can i identify a aroma chemical that makes a fragrance push out or makes a fragrance stable or a fixative that latches onto the skin or how a fragrance will dry down and how it will last etc, its fascinating to see him doing this and its also good in a informative way giving us an idea of what we are going to get before spending our money on a fragrance 👍 top man Aaron and great video

[@carlos002nz]

Great to see you together sharing impressions from time to time , Chris-Aaron. My recognition

[@motok1d]

I agree with spicebomb being a skin fragrance. I can Spray it all over my clothes and barely smell it but it projects 10x more off my skin

[@matsudakodo]

Bleu de Chanel too

[@MattJames37]

Love the collabs! Been watching more and more of aaron. Great content both!

I consider the TF Private blend niche perfumery. If you look up the definition of niche, it is most certainly a niche category in the fragrance market.

absolutely love those type of videos with Aaron too..you're the reason im gonna buy azarro haha

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Bleu De Chanel is strong to me. It smells like Soapy Iris and Rosemary or something. I can't pick out the ingredients like he does, but it kind of burns my nose. If I wear it, I use one spray and not near my face or neck.

[@doncorleon8104]

these paper tests must really give that much of a different reaction, ATH says in his own reviews of Dior Homme Intense and Spicebomb extreme that he absolutely loves them haha and here there are parts that he really doesn't like, its quite interesting how much of a difference a fragrance makes on skin

[@Bi0m3ga]

I reacted to the same thing. Aaron absolutely loved Homme intense when he reviewed it on skin. I have stopped taking paper testing seriously. The difference between paper and my own skin can be huge.

[@R2sojr09]

I thought this as well.

Aaron mentioned something about some types of ingredients not lasting very well on his skin.

[@sandymcconnell1969]

Hi Chris. I really look forward to your videos with Aaron. Your favourite designer fragrances are spot on. I would add Valentino Uomo Intense but it has a lot of similarities to DH Intense. Terre d'Hermes EDT also holds special memories for me. An instant love. I had never smelt anything quite like it. I actually picked up TF Oud Wood last month in the Next VIP sale of all places and at a fantastic price. I got the last 50ml bottle. I don't think that Next realises that TF fragrances are rarely heavily discounted. It'll be a while before I get to properly wear it in Autumn/ Winter but glad to have it in my collection.
