Perfumer Rates...TK Maxx Haul!

[@Alexander_Tronstad]

FM: "Aaron has bought gifts for me!" ATH: "...I think this is nauseating chemical bullshit!"

[@rheetkin7268]

In the USA TK Maxx is called TJ Maxx. They sell similar stuff to the UK stores, like sets of Jnives, Jids toys and other Jnick Jnacks. Must try that CJ Jlein scent next time I'm over.

[@blueshirttail]

R Heetkin thanjs!

[@Eevanova]

😂

[@VLAD_P_]

IN AUS it's also TK Max but it sucks & they don't sell fragrance's or shoes much. You can pick up some decent shirt's jeans from time to time but i wish they would start selling fragrances also.

[@MrRyanAlmighty]

@@VLAD_P_ give it time, they only took over a franchise in Aus the other year so in time they'll probably start the jewellery and fragrance side of the business

[@YizzERR]

hahah this jilled me!

[@Ophius]

YEAAAAAAAA MORE CHRIS AND AARON!

[@Enamm82]

Yes these two make good video..ALWAYS

[@nicolailytjohan4812]

I would like to see what Aaron thinks of Jeremy Fragrance two fragrances.

[@Boaz2108]

Generic.

[@Zachymcsmacky]

Yeah we need to see that, would actually love his take on all the KZbin fragrance reviewer releases!

[@Eevanova]

Yeah. Blind test!

[@chrissehm2989]

He already said that he will review them once his Channel hits 10k Subs :)

[@brenttesterman1198]

@Bill Corben My thoughts exactly.

[@flightgravity7483]

I love how excited Aaron was when you would open a fragrance. It was like a kid on Christmas morning.

[@anton1971]

My favourite fragrance "couple" . Chris , I like very much the way you talk. Aaron, I like your honesty very much. In fact , you are not like the other guys saying, praising how good or great is this one or that one . Which, in fact, is not like what they say. Bravo, guys, really we need more of you 2 !

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Anton👍🏻

[@BALROJ]

I love how Aaron gets excited to open and smell a fragrance.

[@lordbushmills3089]

12:54 “You’re very generous Chris!” Translation, taking into account the body language = “You peasant Chris!” 😂 This partnership works brilliantly!

[@marlynntyler-roldan1567]

I'm having so much fun watching you two! Aaron's excitement is contagious!!😂

[@KirkWilson86]

I love coming back to these older FM videos. Seeing these two become great friends over the years makes me happy

[@marklee1522]

"Poodles would love this scent." killed me.

[@Julie_77777]

I fell off the chair after this sentence 🤣

[@Eevanova]

Aaron is so cute! His Passion with his hands movements 🤗 I can imagine how bad he feels when he smelling bad perfumes, because of his sensitivity!

[@Eevanova]

@Sabinka47 what do you mean?

[@jonmichael02302]

I could watch Aaron talk fragrance all day every day and twice on sundays! LOVE THIS GUY!

[@camesjory]

These 2 are genuinely addictive. I dig the hell out of their contrasts, education, humor, and "accents" (pun). Seriously though, they're really great entertainment. Smart, and I pissed myself laughing over this one so thanks guys. I needed that! 🥳

[@theburreaunerdyfragrance]

As a master groomer and owner of a standard poodle, I must say I agree. Poodles tend to have good taste in fragrance 😅

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Well who knew we had a master groomer in our midst!

[@theburreaunerdyfragrance]

Sounds fancy, but I really just get pooped on a lot so it’s truly not glamorous 😅

[@jusderose]

Super video, really interesting to see some more affordable and different fragrances. Appreciate the honestly too!

[@MFDOOMSMASK]

Aaron's a legend for purchasing these. Nice gesture for a video

[@francisbawasanta6310]

"Poodles would love this scent" & "This makes me think of an expensive wife that's had plastic surgery" it's little off hand, humorous comments like those that makes me look forward to the podcast. Good info, but better comedy. =)

[@AdamTheRaptor]

I am binging on these Perfumer Rates vids with Aaron. I will be sad to run out, so please continue to make more! I love his expert insight to frags, and his personality makes it that much more enjoyable. Thanks for these vids!

[@Fadel_Abbas]

Man this guy always says he “likes filth”. Let him smell Hyrax by Zoologist or Secretions Magnifiques by Etat Libre d'Orange. I bet he’ll love them LOL.

[@youngking9893]

Aaron love TOM FORD just like me make a video to rate TF fragrances with him and let’s see what he say I’m curious.. you guys are amazing 🔥

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Love that idea👍🏻

[@EpinephrineFM]

Aaron mentioned he used to wear Black Orchid a lot back before he holed himself up in the lab. I wonder if he'll still enjoy it after his years of experience. His opinion on the CK fragrance wasn't nearly as high as it once was. Tom Ford could prove to be the same. I'm totally in to this idea

[@jamiemorris6088]

Really nice to see Aaron coming out of his shell and feeling more comfortable to express himself on your channel. Aaron's Channel I'm loving at the moment so emotive. Well done Chris for bringing others into your top class content.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks for watching Jamie!

[@jm77_josemanuel]

I can easily become addicted to these conversations. So funny and interesting chat.

[@vol1998]

ATH never disappoints with his reviews. His physical expressions are very entertaining.

[@googlephone8353]

Side note, almonds are actually represented by benzaldehyde which is the oxidized variant of benzyl alcohol. Minor thing to most people.... huge difference with chemist. Cheers.

[@brenttesterman1198]

I can't wait! TJ Maxx in the states. I really dig it when you guys collab!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Cheers Brent 👍🏻

[@perfumeloverr]

Very nice video Chris, loved it! You should upload these type of videos more often

[@kellyhughes9064]

I just love watching you two! Aaron, I just adore your reactions, to both the good, and the not so great scents!

[@jamesturbyfill6281]

I cant believe this man hasnt been massive in the KZbin frag community til recently!!! with his education and passion his channel has exploded in popularity.. he literally started crying at the end of his review of pardon!! which made me immediately buy it! haha.. thank you chris for getting this gem of a person into our community... he also cant believe he waited so long.. that makes him even more enjoyable to watch

[@shoegal7]

Aaron ... such a sweetheart.

[@ElleReekay]

aaron is sucha great guy, perfumist and reviewer. Love watching your guys videos

[@seanturpin01]

The way they explained the ck obsession night is like describing some fine cannabis lol

[@pauledmonds4141]

What a Sunday treat, these collaborations are just going from strength to strength. Lovely to see as you’re friendship has developed the on-screen chemistry has really hit it stride. Aaron has mentioned on his channel on more than one occasion how much he appreciates Chris’s support and guidance as he navigates his fragrance journey. TK Maxx are known to sell Le Couvent Des Minimes Eau De Missions Botanical Cologne Spray which gets good reviews for as little as £3.99 on discount.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

So glad you're enjoying the vids Paul👍🏻

[@annastesia895]

My best tk maxx buy was some charlottes webb cbd capsules for 18 quid..n 80 quid online . The beauty products are really good as lot of natural brands reduced and the soaps are lovely . Like aaron hes always more relaxed when hes chatting with u which is good to see x

[@MyCovertNarcissism]

Really enjoyed this video Chris, love the banter between the two of you and the fact that you're not afraid to disagree, that's what it's all about, honest opinions.

[@mywatchventure8875]

These two have a good chemistry between them. Makes for good viewing.

[@Scentualise]

You can’t beat someone being honest about what they smell. Such a well trained nose from working in the industry. I don’t find many scents that I don’t like, it doesn’t mean I will by them If I like them however as there maybe something I like more. TK Maxx normally have some good bargains, always have a gander at the frags when in the store. Picked up a few good deals too. I like Obsession but never tried any of the flankers. I just love Bentley for men intense and need to try some of the other fragrances by them. Really happy that ATH liked it too, sort of reaffirmed that it’s a decent scent. I have a couple of the Mercedes vip club range and they are pleasant inoffensive frags to me but I am sure ATH would see right through them and dismantle them bit by bit.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes I need to try more of the Bentley's too. Cheers Barry👍🏻

[@chefnick861]

That was a really cool video, would love to see more like this, for sure. I'd say keep doing them until Aaron finds one he actually rates quite highly 😂

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes I need to find one that blows his socks off!

[@CurtisGabrielMusic]

Wow I remember those poppers! Not thought about those in years. Definitely remember the smell as well. I really remember boglins as well, they had a distinct smell.

[@TrephineArtist]

Great video but I disagree somewhat about Obsession Night. Perhaps it should've been given a different name though, a standalone release. I find it a nice cosy night in scent, it's warming but not in a typical fashion and it does have a slight hint of mystery to it. The bottle looks fantastic in reality, that semi-mirrored effect, a beauty! I've owned this for a year now, a keeper for me and I usually ditch anything too boring. Just don't expect a raunchy or wild 'night' more a pleasant, calm, subtle and slightly alluring evening scent. Aaron's reaction to this sounded like more than a 2/10 though especially compared to the others LOL.

[@christieo1761]

"Done on his lunch with an eyepatch on!" - Aaron "Poodles would love this scent!" - Chris Thank you for the morning laugh! I appreciate you guys!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Happy to oblige!

[@pkeracing7947]

This guy is great, love his honesty and you guys are a great team

[@wimfranken384]

Great vid!!! Always excited to hear Aaron's opinion on fragrances. Do you think Aaron dominates the conversation... ;-)

[@jameslife3692]

Aaron sounds completely different to how he looks and I love it. I put money on it that if this man walked past an elderly woman she would feel scared. Then if he spoke to her she would absolutely love him. Soft spoken gentleman with a bad boy appearance! I love it

[@silverfox311]

Just watched this. Absolutely my favorite video in your collection so far. Super funny and entertaining to watch the reactions of your perfumer friend. Fun video.

[@julssibal3135]

Thank you Chris and Aaron. Will get this one for sure.

[@terrysmiles8599]

Try TJ Maxx here in the states......Just check out Aaron smiling when they open the second one....Look how happy he looks....Love it when passion comes out like that....Love these two...

[@hypychkp]

“Poodles would love this fragrance” my favorite reviewer comment so far 😁

[@beginswithaj]

"Oh God, he's going to rate Bentley Intense, isn't he?!" can't say I didn't get a little nervous because I just bought it and love it. You guys have a great dynamic and I really enjoy this format! Even more so than just "Aaron rates my favourites"-although your poker face there is hilarious to watch ;) Keep doing these please! (also pop in some favourites for good measure.

[@SwiftsScents]

Great video! Love Aaron's descriptions of how the fragrances are put together.

[@M4Maroon]

I got rid of my Bentley Intense bottle because I didn't like the scent but it was excellent value to money wise. And was actually beast mode in cool day.

[@marktwycross7387]

Definitely more of these joint vids please Chris. You guys work so well together, great stuff! 👍👍👍

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Mark 👍🏻

[@Marialeovenus]

I adore any video with Aaron Terence Hughes in it I just love it ♥️

[@FRAGMENTAL]

That's nice to hear, thanks Maria.

[@abursaw]

You pulled the bentley and i have been super on the fence about it, now it sounds like its going to need a buy. More of these videos please.

[@Reidser3]

I wouldn’t blind buy it. I did and I find it repulsive. A lot of folk love it but it is definitely not for me. It’s got a cheap, synthetic smell that makes me feel nauseous. Test it out first.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Such great value👍🏻

[@ianarcher5542]

I agree with greig not a safe blind buy the patchouli note is so intense it's sicking

[@adrianr4095]

The dry down is decent but the opening is so loud and boozy. I sorta regret blind buying it. Ill probably give it to my pops.

[@abursaw]

thank you all for the feedback. I can go back to the fence and look for a decant to try instead.

[@ruthannemackinnon588]

I bought Bently Intense for my husband who is a college professor and its the BEST for grown men and at a reasonable price. Other good budget ones he wears: Tabac, Ferragamo Black & Lalique Encre Noir

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes it's loved by many. Great scent!

[@SeanDV]

As usual, another fantastic video Chris! I always love the dynamic between you two, so please keep bringing Aaron back whenever you can. Also, coincidentally......I happen to be wearing Bentley For Men Intense, as we speak. It's after 1 am here ,in Seattle Washington, and I have to say....this was my SOTD, and I put it on almost 8 hours ago, and can still smell it on me. Now, it's not a projection beast, but I do get decent longevity from this fragrance. Btw, in the states, the store is TJ MAXX. You both were very close with guessing 🙂

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Sean👍🏻

[@jmorbeauty]

I love Aaron so so much. Don't know him but he is my spirit animal.

[@AlexS-yy9qu]

Awsome guys, you really make a GREAT team, loved the video and Aaron's view is just so interesting, he aslo look really happy to work with you, a pleasure to watch guys!!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Alexandre👍🏻

[@joshsimmo]

Great vid as always guys. TK Maxx online seems to be hit and miss recently but the Manchester store always has a big selection downstairs which is great. I’ve got the Momentum Intense which I wear a lot - might have to grab the original soon. Look forward to the next episode!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Josh!

[@SUBIESAMURAI07]

I love to watch these guys ! So nice ! Chris learns a lot because of this aeron guy

[@techinallday8926]

Aaron reviewed Bentley Intense before and he liked it so he’s consistent. Bentley Intense is back up bottle worthy. I love it.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yeah he did his video on it after we shot this. I've just been sitting on it a few weeks.

[@CyberOverlord_]

Chris is the cool guy that when you meet him its like you've known him for years and Aaron is the successful, life of the party guy. Easily could sit down with these two and just talk fragrance all day :D love the videos

[@FRAGMENTAL]

😎

[@aum1083]

I know that Aaron crates his own classy fragrances with lots of naturals .... but since he is a masterperfumer.... maybe he might create a (good) full synthetic cheap fragrance for a change ;-)

[@danielfulop]

I really love these videos with Aaron!

[@johnjin5595]

Bentley For Men Intense is great, Also check out these two Ferrari scents Noble Fig (£18 for 100ml) and Bright Neroli (£17 for 100ml).

[@fraghag]

I love this power duo! Excited to see you two in another video together. One thing I truly miss about England since moving to Sweden is TJ Maxx. Keep these videos coming gents! 🙏🌷

[@njdenney69]

"with an expensive wife who's had cosmetic surgery" . . . . Aaron you utter LEGEND!!!!

[@R.C.Bullar]

17:37 brought back a vivid childhood memory of that exact smell.

[@ciciloves6700]

I love your chemistry and perspectives.

[@sammatthews6323]

I love this combo. The bromance of the year keep it coming 😎

[@MarcMercier1971]

I like to shop at TJ Maxx, Burlington & Marshalls for the scents (albeit I've bought some decent clothes there). Bought several designer scents there like a 100ml Montblanc Explorer Ultra Blue for $50, 100ml Burberry London EDT for like $30. Stopped today and went thru the cheap section because after discovering this channel and watched the various "Perfumer Rates" figured I'd give the cheapos a chance. Found a Tom Ford copycat called Oud Woods (pluralized name) in a like-looking bottle (didn't get it) but found another odd-ball which seems ok called Cambridge Knight. I like the dark woodsy / bourbon / leather scents and was looking for something more summer-like. For $13... why not.

[@mariodiaz4257]

100% agree on Bentley's For Men line... simply amazing... and the prices are incredible!

[@mikekirby2085]

I absolutely love these. I would love to see themed reviews like imaginary authors or the martin margiela replica line. Just both of you going through a set. The TJ/TK Maxx was fun. Or even notes like musks...FMATH rates the muskiest musks who have ever musked.

[@Likwidl]

Bentley intense performs very well in cold weather.

[@izzyvilla8784]

Bro please keep making these videos. You guys are hilarious together. More top tens together! Love from California my guys.

[@EpinephrineFM]

Chris casually remarking that Mr Cresp looks "pleased with himself" was legitimately funny.

[@zackarovegothico]

I see Aaron I click like !

[@builtfit1291]

This was a great video Chris! I always appreciate getting Aaron's take on fragrances and you smelling and rating with him was a nice touch. That Benz bottle looks like a beard trimmer!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Lol yes it does!

[@tigerbaitcom]

I am a HUGE fan of Bentley.. I own four of their frags with plans to buy more. Absolutely the best car frag brand.

[@liolp808]

I could watch the two of you talk for hours, and it wouldn't be time wasted.

[@jgbio328]

You should try the Antonio Banderas fragances. You can find some good cheapies there.

[@sammatthews6323]

Here in Colombia the pharmacies have a fragrance section with 4 rows... Antonia Banderas, Sofia Vergara, Shakira and then weirdly United colours of benneton 🤔

[@patrickhoffmann4000]

very good vid. i feel very entertained. aaron is such a expert and this video deserves a million views :) keep up the good work.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Thanks Patrick 👍🏻

[@karlsenula9495]

Out of curiosity Is there a video where Aaron Terrance Hughes is pleasantly surprised by fragrance and likes it? I would like to see another perfumer and see their impressions of and attitudes towards other fragrances .. see how ATH approach is similar to or different than other highly rated performers.

[@MrMelonMan96]

Would love to get Aaron's opinion on Parfums De Marly, Frederick Malle, and Guerlain L'Homme Ideal line

[@69HESH]

Excellent as usual Chris. 👌

[@Tamemeren]

Yes more please, love the fun, honesty.... just love it all 😁

[@terrysmiles8599]

Its TJ Maxx here in the states....Watch when they open the second one....Look how happy Aaron looks.....Love the passion.....Love these two.,...I really think you should do more with Aaron...You two together are awesome....Not saying your not awesome separately its just you guys together is even more awesome....Just saying..

[@87linceed]

Chris please do one with guerlains, mitsouko, mouchior monsiour, vetiver, habit rouge, jicky , shalimar, eau de cologne , guerlain cologne, l homme ideal. Etc. Really interested to see what you and aaron think, its the ultimate niche/designer house. As old as napoleon!

[@pringlescan81]

Guy on left reviewing Doritos: there’s no passion, there’s no drive

You’re right. They’re like spiced cardboard!

[@heavenscent3022]

Great review boys, always fun with ATH.... I was in TK Max few weeks ago and bought L T Piver Veviter for £16.99 It smells similar to Guerlain Veviter and Guerlain homme L'eau Boisse....Chris see if you can pick it up and review it please ... Honest it's the hidden gem your looking for at under £20 👍👍 atb Lee

[@anastasiosmitropoulos1989]

Bentley for man Intense was my first blind buy one month ago, based on many positive KZbin reviews. I didn't like so much the opening (due to a heavy rum note) but the dry down was amazing!! A very unique fragrance!!!

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Love me a drop of rum!

[@AuroraMeansDawn27]

I could watch you both all day. Have you guys ever thought about rating women's perfumes together?!

[@RonaldJapenga]

Nice team. It's like Aaron explains the emotion of the fragrance and Chris the DNA.

[@oscarcastellanos9270]

Great format, now I got to try that Bentley.

[@PHANTOM_LURE_777]

Aaron is back... yet it seems he never left!

You two are hilarious! Love this channel.

Cheers Tommy!

[@gedvalaitis4877]

Fun, unique video. I was wearing my Tom Ford Tobacco Oud Intense today... I realized how gourmand it is reminding me of Parfume de Marley fragrances like Carlisle, a bit darker, less fruity...

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Love Tobacco Oud!

[@gedvalaitis4877]

@@FRAGMENTAL Very different.

[@sicksquid3258]

Recently bought a Lovely Miller Harris Feuilles de Tabac for £25(RRP £110) at my local TK!

[@karlsenula9495]

I always thought you aren't supposed to smell immediately? Wave it around a bit and then smell and then wait a bit more to see if it changes in the mid and dry down? Also we all know that a fragrance smells differently on skin than on paper and different on different people/ skin types. But I get the point of the video ATH is unabashedly Frank in his appraisal of fragrances and THAT is the entertaining part.
