Perfumer Rates MY STRONGEST FRAGRANCES!

[@cuhzlightyear8151]

Aaron's wholesome blind reaction to his own fragrance was such a profound moment, really highlights how much he enjoys and takes pride in what he does.

[@mattl7424]

Also can’t handle healthy criticism

[@RichardOliver]

​@@mattl7424 Why do you say that, out of interest?

[@mattl7424]

@@RichardOliver why? Because I asked him a simple question and he made a smart snarky remark then blocked me. I told him I had a few of his fragrances and loved boss Bastard. Wasn’t initially into it and took time to get to like it. Another seemed too sweet and not as rounded . He took offense to me saying it wasn’t as rounded I suppose.

[@stefankkbarnes]

Yeah he’s very fragile. He blocked me because I said onyx smells like a better version of noir de noir

[@mattl7424]

@@stefankkbarnes interesting . If anything it should be a compliment . But there’s reasons why he won’t review FRAGRANCE DU BOIS. Oud or AOUD, can smell like anything , doesn’t always have to be pissy. Same with PDM & INITIO .

[@FRAGMENTAL]

When it’s my channel Aaron just leaves the presenting to me.

[@CraigLively]

I find it to be somewhat endearing. He's come a long way in his art and business. Many people in his position wouldn't be so humble.

[@Godspeedjosh]

I would love to see a series with Aaron where he dissects some master perfumers best works. Like 5-10 Alberto Morillas works etc.

[@ncpmadhead]

Nothing makes me more happy to see a video of my favorite perfumer with you Chris. Big ATH fan 🦄

[@gnomesarerealgnometruther6688]

I've recently gotten a bottle of Onyx Extreme, the longevity is incredible. It blows all other rose oud fragrances out of the water. I have worked 24 hour shifts and get home and take my clothes off and still get strong smells of Onyx dry down. I can not say enough good things about this brand, especially in terms of price with regard to the quality of materials used.

[@tommyteepee]

Hey Chris! Absolutely love the video, always a pleasure to ATH (recently purchased Onyx and love it). A possible idea for a future video - not sure you've ever been into the shop 'Bodycare'but they sell the most hilarious bootleg copies of frags "Adventus" and "Le Man" were highlights. Would be amazing to see your and ATHs reactions to them!

[@dahnyul]

These are epic, you two are foundational in our community. Thank you for sticking by and bringing forward so many voices of the frag comm, as well as injecting so much humor/joy in your work. Inspiring. Love your work Chris, and I love the sneaky, cheeky fun you have with him. You can tell how eager he is to start smelling at the beginning. He's like, "no intro, smell now!" 🤣😂 . bravo blokes :)

I would love to hear you both talk about Boss Bitch from ATH…

[@dahnyul]

That would be awesome! I want to hear it dissected as well! Would love to hear some in-depth thoughts on it. It took me a few times before I understood what I was even smelling. So enchanting and natural- I was lost for a while, still kind of am, but seeing things more clearly as time goes on.

[@0040636bf109e]

You can see Aaron truly loves his work, and is an artist at it. One day he will produce his masterpiece.

[@Generalpickaname]

I feel like Aaron is going to be remembered long after he has passed. Not to be morbid. But he’s going places. Technically knowledgeable, modern, and an artist through and through. Love listening to him analyse fragrances.

Pardon by Nasamatto has that lasting power also. Seems to grow with time.

[@justaddlight]

Might actually be a plus if a perfumer isn't really familiar with the top of the pops. Like Aaron mentioned, it's less noise. But I would imagine that it does increase the probability that one of their creations might be similar to others out there. Otherwise, it's best to stay in the zone. 💪

[@onlyu2high]

Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco is so good though, its my favourite scent ever since i bought it 4 months ago. Cecilie Zarokain is so good at making perfumes.

[@komposer514]

Great video! But I'm curious if anyone else caught this: Aaron said there was one in the line of PDM that he did not enjoy. There's a video that Chris shot with Aaron in the past, and Aaron was repulsed at the smell of Carlisle 😮 It is amazing how on any given day we can smell things differently...though I do think Aaron is softening up with his candid evaluations 😊

[@domrice8628]

All the Pdm are vastly overpriced rubbish

[@freekderks1983]

Another one that can certainly make the list is Red Tobacco by Mancera. 🔥

[@MrBayeasy]

I don't really get the confused as to why he doesn't know what other houses fragrances smell like. If he went around smelling other fragrances all the time there would undoubtedly be some influence, even if it's unintentional. He is trying to come up with things on his own, that way he's got the best chance of making them smell unique as he's taking the raw elements and putting them together until HE thinks they are perfect. Just like what he said at the end of the video, he's passionate about what he does and wants to make what he enjoys. Naturally I'm sure he's hoping that other people are going to enjoy it too, but I guess it's a risk anyone takes by trying to come up with an original fragrance.

[@Bond-wn9su]

@FRAGMENTAL what would you recommend for a 41 yr old male, for an “all rounder” day/night/all year parfum or extrait parfum to last 8-12 hr plus and smell it on clothes days later? It can be niche or designer… I don’t like too dark towards Arabic or the either other way towards Creed Adventus. Is there a tom Ford Oud wood meets YSL Tux, just pure powerful?

[@matefurlan86]
