He is really incredible! A real honest encyclopedia! The first human on KZbin with great expertise who talks truth about perfume. You should make an entire series around him.

After watching so many videos about fragrances, I've come to my conclusion that if a perfume reviewer says something is boring, it almost means that most people would find that fragrance pleasant; if a reviewer says something is exciting, that is almost guaranteed to smell weird.

[@Michlandir]

Aaron’s reaction to Carlisle is priceless. He’s the only reviewer I’ve ever seen who’s calling out the fact that Carlisle is really just 2 pdm frags thrown together in one bottle.

[@riddleoffeels4518]

Aaron didn’t call out anything he just didn’t like it. PDM has said that Carlisle is influenced by several of their earlier fragrances. It’s not like it’s some major secret that needs to be called out. If you don’t like it that’s fine but reception is overwhelmingly positive.

[@snortchgortch4253]

I think it’s important to make a distinction that ‘niche’ does not mean quality or great. There are so many designer colognes that blow away niche and vice versa.

[@909rhythm]

Agree some people think niche means brilliant which is often not the case

[@Lovegun.]

So true. I collect fragrances and only about 20% of them are niche. I get samples of all my scents first and most of the ones I love are designer. Don’t get me wrong so niche ones are incredible but very rarely worth their price.

I really hope Frag-Mental gets the position it deserves in the FragComm. With all due respect to top's channel in the scene, Jeremy Fragrance, I find Frag-Mental to deliver a much more interesting, classier and fulfilling kind of content. Then I look at the subs count and it's just hard to believe. 18k is still a lot of people! Don't get me wrong. But with this quality I'd expect at least 100k. Keep it up Chris.

[@nickcordero8484]

I never get tired of listening to Aaron, he is honest an amazing, besides, perfumes are very personal. He really knows what he is talking about. I honestly believe that all reviews should be blind to have a real objective opinion, everything based just on the smell of the perfume, no bias.

[@Mr.M1STER]

This video is much better than the cheapie one since he didn't know what he was smelling before smelling them. I like that for one of them he even tried to guess the price range of the fragrance. I think it might have been nice to ask him to guess a price range for them all and then when revealing each fragrance, include the current price and how close he was. I also love the fact that he is up for this and not afraid to say it as he smells it.

[@Jtdubbzz]

For what it’s worth, I wasn’t impressed with Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme at first, but it truly is an excellent fragrance. Masterfully crafted and blended, very inviting, smooth, approachable fragrance. I really enjoy it and get a ton of compliments from the ladies when I wear it! Also, very versatile and one of my easiest to wear. Definitely boasts confidence. I have to get my nose on Tom Ford’s Oud Wood. I really like dirty, boozy, leathery fragrances like CH Men Prive and Juicy Couture’s Dirty English from back in the day so I’m sure I’d like Oud Wood.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Oud Wood is amazing!

[@Kenoji8]

Excellent to see his views. He totally nailed the Chanel one, even down to the marketing! You can tell his experience is genuine and that he has considered a lot about what works in the fragrance world. I wonder what he would think of with more classic scents, but then again he loved Oud Wood, so maybe more classics wouldn't be the way to go. Great follow-up video, Chris! A video that would be interesting, I think, would be one around a prominent fragrance note (or a representing aromachemical) that he enjoys and giving him a test from a group of fragrances based on that central note profile, perhaps. If he likes citruses, for example, maybe find fragrances that are known for having a good, popular, overall citrus profile (maybe even through the mid-notes) and let him smell those. Citrus is kind of "general," but you understand what I'm saying. I'd like to see his impressions on how the fragrance world treats a beloved note that led him on his perfumery journey. :)

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Great suggestions, thanks👍🏻

[@fatbrad412]

The background music reminds me of the very beginning of my fragrance journey lol Thanks Chris

It's a great watch! This was great! I really enjoyed it! It would be great to see this perfumer return for another video!

Wow I love this guy he’s so clever haha! And another great video from FM. I’d be interested to smell his own fragrances

its fascinating that us mortals are trying to pick up apple, or cinammon or woods or pineapple and he's telling you how it's blended and how much chemical is in them. i like him...love from Greece!!!

Damn he's 45, fair play - thought he looked a bit young for a hair transplant initially
