Aqua Dijeerio gets me every time 😂

His voice sounds Deep,Clean,And very addictive to hear, love his content and the way he explains.

Thank you gus

[@gusfragrances3593]

@@AaronTerenceHughes You’re very welcome!

[@justinlivingston111]

I sell raw materials into these formulations, a lot to the big fragrance houses like IFF, Firmenich, etc so I speak to a lot of chemists. I can say without a doubt you are the coolest and most inspirational one I’ve heard!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you

[@Dys-Mugetsu]

I was trying this one in the store today, I think the parfum is the best one out of the line tbh, I enjoyed watching the review as usual. Hope you're staying safe and well aaron

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you, i hope you are too

[@mkozlovskis97]

Great review Aaron. I think Alberto Morillas uses quite a lot Ethyl Linalool in his formulations. If I smell Profondo and then try ADG Parfum or Versace Pour Homme, I go nose blind instantly. I was wondering which ingredient caused nose blindness, thanks for clarification, much love!

[@Bazookaboz]

Iso e super most likely.

[@1kcclife]

One of a kind reviewer. Truly appreciate what you do and looking to get my hands on some of your creations. Keep well Aaron.

[@KirkWilson86]

I love listening to your pragmatic and concise constructions. You are very interesting Aaron! Love your work!

[@chiefgl1161]

I love seeing your collection at the back Aaron. Wish i had some of your fragrances in mine. Hopefully you keep on making some, until i visit some country where i can get a hold of it. Great review.

[@jormungandr7885]

Yeah it is boring but so are every fresh summer fragrance I've ever smelled. It is absolutely one of my favourite summer fragrances.

[@AdrianAdamson-qo5bq]

I own stuff like Oud Wood, Naxos, Reflection Man, Terre D’Hermes, Dior Homme Intense and I love them all but I also absolutely love ADG-Profondo and spray it more than any other fragrance I own. Ten sprays each time and I get compliments galore from both men and women. I recently purchased Profondo Parfum and it doesn’t have the same sparkle. Coincidentally, I took some photos earlier as I intend to list the Parfum on eBay tonight. P.S. My eight year old is getting into fragrances and chose to wear Supernova on our day out today. True story 🙏

[@Alritealritealrite]

Is Oud WOOD Still worth getting? I keep hearing about how bad performance is but I'm thinking about ordering it regardless. As a collector I feel like I should have it.

[@sabrinaeulalie1129]

Hi Aaron, Love the "Aqua di Gio" range. But yes, their perfumes are not groundbreaking, but they're really good.

[@Joshuadanielcohen]

This has been my daily for the last couple years and it’s perfect for that purpose. Fresh, clean, has accessible complexity, and is wholly inoffensive. I agree that for nights and weekends I opt for to veer into the stronger, singular notes (e.g eros for sweetness, Prada l’homme for florals, D&G the one for woods, etc), where this is right down the middle! Appreciate your nose and technical insights!

[@minhoek3252]

Finally, I"ve been waiting for this video:) I would be even happier ,if you could do Chanel Allure Homme Sport EDT :))

[@604CS]

Was my scent for the gym today, great smell light and creamy. Not to intense on cream like eau extreme which is my favourite

[@minhoek3252]

@@604CS I got 150ml of AHS EDT and yes i agree AHSEE more creamy and vanilla forward. I like OG EDT more though and i wear it every day ,its my signature scent:)

[@BatuhanErisoglu-r9v]

Very calming voice

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you!

[@lawrences.6298]

Would be nice if Aaron revisits all his ADG reviews and compares it to all the updated 2024 versions if there really are improvements on them. ❤

[@rustyshackleford4801]

Love me some Acqua Di Giririo ❤

[@devindillard1918]

I have the 2024 parfum. Women and men love this fragrance. I wear it to work from time to time and I’ve got great compliments from men and women. The “oh wow you smell so good, what is that?” Type of compliment. It’s aquatic, but the patchouli and incense give it depth and base. It’s one of those fragrances that are just comforting and classy. Its honestly grown on me the more I wear I it

[@redemption3111]

One of my favorite frageance content creators. The hairstyle you had a few years back suits you more btw

[@wiewiorkowo]

It's a pleasure to listen to You, keep it up!

[@Brysengus]

I feel like fragrance studios or Darker color, night type studios ideas match Colognes reviews cause I feel like colognes represents elegance in my humble opinion, but still love your content and I have the bell activate from this Chanel cause I love this channel a lot thank you so much Aaron! ❤🙏

[@AirPowered]

Great review. You could also compare it to the newer 2024 version!

[@gentensworld]

Lovely review as always. I was trying this on yesterday and while I was quite keen on it, I think I'll still stick to Odyssey🦄🦄

[@01bigtrev]

You describing the wheel reminds me of the music version and also I used to use the mixed in key chord Camelot system like circle of fifths and how they interchange and build on them

[@biliharp9839]

Oh I don`t really like Profondo... instead I prefer Versace Pour Homme - so good ! By the way will be nice to see the review of this fragrance :) It is made by the same perdumer. Regards

[@yes7502]

Have only had this fragrance for maybe 4 months and already halfway through it. Is a headturner imo

[@DavidRosario-z5g]

this scent works extremely well in the high heat and is my dumb reach for hot summer days. It feels so refreshing to wear like a glass of water haha.

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Aaron.

[@joedirt5995]

love the review, the only problem is you review the discontinued version and u cant really buy it right now(at least for normal prices) id love to see how u review the 2024 versions of the acqua di gio flankers.

[@ColoradoRonald]

You might be confusing this with Profumo, which was discontinued. Profumo was replaced by ADG Parfum with a great 2024 update that got it back to what it was before. Profondo has a slight update for 2024 and is widely available

[@juanluiscanetemangas1307]

​@@ColoradoRonaldWell, you both guys are wrong, Acqua Di Gio actually changed the presentation of Acqua Di Gio EDT, Profondo, Edp, and presented them as "New 2024" but at the end of the day it is the same in a new bottle.

[@g.d2450]

​@@juanluiscanetemangas1307 you're wrong, they have tweaked the 2024 iterations (Ash on gent scents covered this) while reducing their size and charging you more the 125ml and 75ml are now 100ml and 50ml respectively but are more expensive... i guess every manufacturer is getting in on the corporate greed getting passed off as inflation scam

[@joedirt5995]

​@@ColoradoRonald not confusing, maybe i used wrong word. All im saying is the version he is reviewing is different from what 2024 version smells like. I wouldnt say it is a "slight" update u can clearly say these version smell different. Same name, same DNA, new bottle, new smell, btw I do like the change, I feel that even the performance is better in 2024 version, which is surprising

[@joedirt5995]

@@juanluiscanetemangas1307 nah they smell different, did you even try them?

[@NiKoJlaY]

I have this fragrance and it's pretty nice for me. Perfect, between middle of April till middle of October.

[@thezaq8956]

Hey Aaron, one question I’ve always had…if you have tattoos, like you do, do you think that changes the skin scent of fragrances as opposed to people who don’t have any tattoos? I would think it would. ✌️

[@kinglion5435]

Don't know if it's because I have dark skin but I have tried in vain to like profondo and profumo after hearing all the rage that the influences are making.

[@CnSaliba]

I much prefer the new Profondo Parfum, great analysis as usual🦄

[@XxJoeswansonxX]

Love this fragrance very likable and safe to wear Alberto morillas really killed it with this one as a mass appealing designer fragrance

[@robsgil1]

Hi Aaron, Any estimated date as to when the new releases will be available again? Thanks

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

@@robsgil1 hello. Every Friday at 6pm

[@akhenatenuhuru7695]

I'm wearing it now!!!!!!!!!! IT'S EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@patrickbateman4541]

I love this one because it's linear and tart/sour salty aquatic smelling the whole way through

[@Furnabulax1]

What do u think about ADG Parfum? Idk if u reviewed it yet, but if u did id love to see that. That one is pretty good but afaik it got reformulated into a 2023 batch and 2024 batch, and i have the original 2023 and love it but im worried when i eventually rebuy, it wont be the same.

[@nemanjajovanovic451]

Please review Clive Christian - Town & Country. Would love to hear your thoughts on the fragrance, its quality, if it has naturals, etc.

[@hog_hedge]

I’m surprised you didn’t review the 2024 version, the version you reviewed is discontinued.

[@luk56581]

Is your oud elixir similar to the rose oil by Dior? I’ve just run out and I’m looking for a new perfume oil. I love rose and I’m a fan of onyx

[@stephen_4057]

I have og profondo and love it just wish performance was a bit better

[@VeganChiefWarrior]

I think i prefer this over the new formulation in the new bottle which is alot punchyer

[@eliashjort4018]

Hey Aaron. You should review Tero by Nishane! I think you would like it!

[@CAMx007]

ATH, I just got in my bottle of Ozone. Love it. Now how do I make this a signature scent if I don’t have easy access to it? Lol. I live in South Florida, definitely a year round scent for me.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you! We are trying to make them more available as soon as we can but there’s a lot of hurdles to do it properly, thanks for being patient

[@hlindner75]

This is good for the warmer weather, a nice office fragrance also.

[@debilCHINA]

Excellent video as usual. Could you review Eros Parfum 🙏

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you

[@g.d2450]

profondo is an easy grab that's great for most occasions from warm summer days out, to work, just lazing about the house to also a great fragrance for the gym. some people need to pull their heads out of their ass with saying nonsense like it's boring and safe and not challenging.... they're missing the point completely of this amazing smelling, compliment pulling, wear almost anywhere at anytime fragrance

[@ryanepps771]

I would LOVE to see your reaction to Rosendo Mateu no8 !!

[@josephphotography4127]

Profondo is perfect for a summer date, summer casual setting, beach. Wasnt created for anyting else

[@VeganChiefWarrior]

Club banger

[@6ix_Vault]

Not sure if anyone else is interested but could u do a comparison of either single malt and old fashioned by kilian, or even compare them to apple brandy

[@NicoBearon]

This is perfect for someone who isn’t too into fragrances. Cheap, extremely easy to wear, and the performance is surprisingly very good

[@vuk2173]

@@NicoBearon Armani could be everything but it sure ain't cheap 🫠

[@NicoBearon]

@@vuk2173 this fragrance in particular is definitely cheap. It’s currently 80$ on Maxaroma, that’s cheap.

It’s a beach fragrance

[@joewrigley399]

Profumo is the one for me, wasn’t a huge fan of this, prefer light blue intense. Never got chance to sample essenza sadly

[@alessandroledda6480]

i believe they might have reformulated it recently. Your bottle looks like it's from that older gen Edit: yeah the way you describe it sounds like my 2023 bottle lovely scent, i've used it as my signature for months but damn it can be boring. can absolutely confirm that's really easy to go noseblind to this

[@KukulcanZ]

[@mosesh06]

Ex girlfriend got this for me last Christmas... I've worn it twice. I like it. You're right it is safe.

[@dannytrejjo46]

Did you smell it a bit smoky too??

[@boybad01]

I have that fragrance and I wonder if it has rotten or something.... At first I was wearing it everyday and loved it. Now, all I can smell is something like washed cloths that we forgot to put away, don't know how to explain better... I gave it a try here and there but always the same smell and it gives me headache.... Very weird....

[@mkozlovskis97]

Profondo rots, it smells piss sour from sweet smell it has. If your bottle is from first batches (2019) and it's been open for 9-10 months it can go bad. I think that's why they reformulated it and now Parfum, Profondo EDP shares similar base.

[@boybad01]

​@@mkozlovskis97well that can certainly explain what I'm experiencing with the fragrance. So I'm clearly not the only one having this trouble... That's really bad and honestly I don't want to give to armani (loreal) more money and another chance... My bottle of 2023 batch ADG parfum is also smelling a bit weird....

[@Jhart44]

I’d recommend you guys try Liam blue I think it’s called? It’s a clone of Profondo and it’s very very good. A little sweeter but still aquatic. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on it

[@mkozlovskis97]

@@Jhart44 But how synthetic it is? I never got decent smelling clone. 😢

[@Jhart44]

@@mkozlovskis97 it is synthetic for sure. However, I will say aquatics are my favorite type of colognes and a lot are synthetic normally. One people love is azzaro chrome extreme, which I have and find it unwearable due to synthetics. Liam blue is synthetic, but if $20 isn’t a lot for you I’d recommend trying it out

[@g.d2450]

no it's not, smells nothing like Dylan blue. the only resemblance is they both come in blue bottles 😂

[@dannytrejjo46]

hell no!!! btw Dylan blue has been reformulated =)

[@activematrix5360]

It def is, morrillas always ends up using the same profiles, the mid might be different but off the top there’s little between them

[@g.d2450]

@@activematrix5360 it's definitely not, you haven't got a clue what you're talking about they might have a few similar notes or accords but aren't even in the same wheelhouse of fragrances. there's hundreds of fragrances that smells closer to dylan blue in that blue ambery fragrance category and theres a lot of fragrances in that light citrus/aquatic category that profondo would sit in..... dylan isn't one of them, just look on fragrantica under adg profondo and no-one.... i mean literally no-one thinks it smells similar to dylan blue 🤣

[@commissioner1969]

I love profondo

[@the_9ent]

Would this be classed as a “blue” fragrance?

[@Aoelx]

I would say so!

[@M4RCi92]

Of course. It smells almost indistinguishable from all the other blue fragrances. Nice, but very generic.

This is one of Morillas' generic blue scents that, even though it smells very pleasant, is virtually indistinguishable from the sea of other blue fragrances. This isn't art, it's business. 0% risk, 0% passion, 0% creativity, 100% safe.

Funny how you wouldn't know how to feel about "serene". I think your video's are generally very relaxed and serene. Perhaps your serene vibes make you want parfums to be a bit naughty?
