Perfumer Reviews 'Ambre Sultan' by Serge Lutens

[@omarramos818]

Being an Engineer, I always appreciate how well you break things down & the technical aspect of how you explain things. Feels like a class in perfumery. Awesome!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I always try to make the art of perfumery easy to understand. I never try to show off or make people feel unwelcome. I believe though my experience I can show how complex but how beautiful the art of perfumery it. It really is centre of Art and science. Without my chemistry degree I would not be able to build perfume. I use maths and chemistry and physics everyday

[@kristijanradovac43]

I was waiting so long for someone with knowledge and passion and a way of expressing themselves like you to join the perfume/youtube scene. Thanks for doing this bro 🍀💪

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

kristijan radovac my pleasure. I feel I can offer education and knowledge over flashing my tits or being offensive! Remember the empty vessels are the loudest!

[@Mackell314]

Aaron great video. Can you make us an educational video where you discus the different styles of fragrance based on regions: French, Middle Eastern, American etc. THANK YOU!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thats a very good idea. Yes

[@Mackell314]

@@AaronTerenceHughes Awesome!!

[@andypayne243]

This is a great idea.

American Perfumery??

You are a real artist man. Huge respect to you. So rare to find people who are so passionate about their point of interest and who have the confidence to be really individual and bold. Also, as a suggestion to build your channel big and powerful - I think, you would utilize better formatting, like the organization of the delivery to be followed easily. Doesn't relate to this video particularly but I noticed that it was many times lots of free-styling which can be off-putting for the audience. Cheers and looking forward to your material!

[@saynomore9604]

Superbly said. Ambre Sultan is a French take on amber world. Polished, well balanced, mild, posh. I must admit that once you enter that amber world, this fragrance is not enough for you. I wish you all to experience an older version of Ambra Aurea from Profumum Roma. There is no way back, nothing else can please you more.

[@jeremyhinze8837]

One of my absolute favorite Amber compositions, definitely classic, definitely french. Thanks for the review.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

My pleasure

ATH is by far, by far, the best fragrance reviewer on You Tube. Extremely Knowledgeable, interesting, he doesn’t pull punches or kiss asses... damn. As a hetero, 240lb, ex football player, from Texas, USA (I apologize for trump- I voted for Bernie, then Hillary) I had ZERO expectation of liking his vids, but honestly, “on my mama”, LOL I trust his reviews over anyone else’s. No one else is close. He’s a professor and the rest are elementary/primary school teachers. Have to figure out what fragrance he’d suggest for dudes like me.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

K Jackson I try to recommend fragrance based on notes: projection. Longevity and if I think it’s worth the money. I make fragrance for a living and buy 20litre of raw materials so I know. I try to recommend on price. Skin type and colour and where your likely to ware this and the type of person! So keep watching as you may fit to what I’m recommending. On a side note. I’ve always thought. ‘What qualifies other channels to talk about perfume’? Other then an opinion?

[@stephencriley3579]

His reviews are by far the best. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@christopherbird2739]

Yeah i love the fact he's not just kissing ass because he gets sent a shit load of free products like most of the fragrance reviewers, you can't get an honest opinion from them but aaron keeps it 100% real

[@domrice8628]

The best reviewer is Ramsey

[@david_allen1]

@@AaronTerenceHughes that is an EXCELLENT question you ask. It is why I hardly give much credence to most other channels. Without a solid background in perfumery (and chemistry) and an objective approach to evaluation, their reviews are just another very subjective & unsupported opinion, no different from my own. Your reviews are QUITE the exception and I very much appreciate them and use them to make decisions about perfumes. Thank you!

[@peachesandcream8753]

This is one of my favourite fragrances and I ended up first purchasing it when I was 24. It has that elegance about it that I love and I knew no one else my age wearing it; everyone who smelt it loved it. I have never liked projection, personally, because I want people to come up close before they can smell my frangrance so this was perfect for me. I'm 29 now and haven't bought it in a few years but will definitely repurchase!

[@sandrolaurignano2461]

I would love to see a review on Nishane Ani.Every reviewer on KZbin are mind blown by it.Would like to know your opinion.

[@rickytomatoes]

Someone should send him a sample.

[@Mackell314]

Its my favorite fragrance purchase this year

[@boykaunlimitted4514]

I owned the first batch (seems since January 2020 there’s a different formula) and for me it was WAY too strong. I tried a sample from January 2020 and it didn’t last as long on me. I found out I’m not a vanilla lover😂

[@dukeagainsttheodds3170]

Definitely waiting for that 1

[@brahimmhamdi6537]

I really really like it

[@texasfan8892]

I have a feeling you would absolutely love Santal Majuscule

[@juliagrafperfumes136]

It’s one of my favorite perfumes in my collection and I think maybe the best one from the house. I wear in in fall and winter with my wool coat and a knit sweater, it’s perfect.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That sounds amazingly perfect

[@tutumaina3332]

That gleam in your eyes and bright smile whenever you get excited to smell something new is infectious. 😊

[@diamonevideos9318]

Santal majuscule seems younger to me. I hope you could review it 😊

[@brandonzellers3801]

Would love to see Aaron get his nose on Drakkar Noir. It is one of my favorite scents and reminds me of being a kind in the 90’s and spraying my fathers cologne. It is a very interesting scent with alot of notes.

[@Pandhermonium]

You are fantastic! Finally someone with some knowledge and ability to teach. Blind buying with your suggestions and so far, so impressed.

[@ErnestoSanchezNeto]

The problem after watching your reviews is that i expect the same knowledge and intelligence in other fragrance reviewers, but you raised the bar quite high ❤! Looking forward to smell your creations.

[@IG58]

Perfect description of this exquisite fragrance Aaron!

[@Sweet_N_Sour_Princess]

I enjoy your reviews very much, Aaron! Love the style you analyse perfumes.

[@craigbyrne6141]

Exceptional fragrance for the price. An autumn favourite of mine 🍁

[@mase15]

My favorite! Thanks for the review!

[@vagremlin]

I have this one and really enjoy it as I am an Amber lover as well.Appreciate your take on this.You are tops my friend.So happy you approve of this classy scent.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

This perfume is 100% classy, well created, classic and the person who loves this would have taste and Sophistication

[@alexsalvara9958]

Nice review as always. This is what I like. It's my type of perfume that makes me thoughtful. Aaron, this is what I also love about how you make your review. It's a personal thing. Everyone is different, it all differs how each and everyone of us take it. But as always, lovely review Aaron. Stay safe and wishing you all the blessing.

[@robertpatter5509]

If you liked Chergui and Ambre Sultan then check out Serge Lutens Écrin de Fumée. Now that beats Chergui definitely. Absolutely gorgeous

[@Yuhtoofass_]

Aaron blessed love from Trinidad 🇹🇹

[@jodee8831]

Great review Aaron... I agree this is not a youthful scent... but it is complex.. well put together.. and very sophisticated... I'm nearing 40 and in certain occasions I will see myself wearing this

[@MrMelonMan96]

Would love to see you review Parfums De Marly Pegasus. Just got a sample and it smells similar to Amouage Reflection Man but with the Marly DNA

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I will do Pegasus in a month or so.

[@razvanyke]

Nice haircut, I like how it looks so short :D Great video like always

[@mysticvision9542]

Very nice review.. Straight forward with no bullshit.. Good work

[@solomonsvineyard5371]

I think I will try this one thanks for preview bro you are great always good seeing you happy 4th

[@JoinTheProgress]

I don't think he celebrates the 4th ... ;)

[@carlos002nz]

A wonderful review, Aaron. My recognition

[@alinamih]

Try Bapteme du Feu (Baptism in fire) from Serge Lutens, mind blowing fragrance!

[@okwymaduka]

I was thinking same thing too. The castoreum in that perfume I guess is the baptism because that is a perfum nor for the faint of heart. I explain it as rough sex and then a trip to IHOP for some waffles.

[@ronaldimussa]

hi aaron, would like to see you review Ermenegildo Zegna Indonesian Oud, appreciate it

[@tattooedbill1]

Never tried any from this House so i think this will have to be one to try. Thanks Aaron

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I think your love it. Its classic French perfumery. Perfect for a day off. Something to enjoy for yourself

[@Jesus-Christ-Is-Our-King]

Just received mine today, and it’s pretty nice, but it doesn’t last long on my skin.

[@Pinerocks]

You’ve just described my next fragrance. Thank you.

[@saynomore9604]

Hi sample first not to be disappointed. It`s not as heavy and full amber fragrance you might like. It fits women more.

[@ORWijaya]

Aaron please do top 5 summer fragrances

[@Fadel_Abbas]

That is the cutest sample I have ever seen.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

It needs to go in a doll house

[@derrickblake5428]

Arron when are you going to review nishane hacivat would love to here your thoughts

[@Kos0818]

Excellent review! One thing that did confuse me is that you said it "it's sort of morphing and changing...which is when you know it's got aroma chemicals in it". By "aroma chemicals"; do you mean synthetics? From my understanding and experience; synthetics don't change much and are a lot more stable than naturals and it's naturals that morph and change. Also, you mentioned amber, but you made it seem like amber isn't an accord created using cistus labdanum, cistus, benzoin, vanilla and aromachemicals.

[@jarridsteel6229]

I got a sample of Amber Sultan and it's pretty nice. I decided it wasn't really for me, though. I really love Bapteme de Feu, though and got a bottle recently for a really great price. There are quite a few very nice fragrances from Serge Lutens.

[@hcarter2706]

Mr Aron you must sample ambre loup by Rania j... Its simply the best

[@saynomore9604]

Sold Ambre Loup because it was one-sided fragrance. Do you know propolis? Ambre Loup is exactly that from the start. Im confident to say that it`s not an amber fragrance, there is some kind of loup in it. To me an amber fragrance must be sweet, warm, sticky, full of resins and oriental vanilla.

[@jamrollz]

Im 31M and love this, 100% agree with the 9/10. I would wear this to a wedding, or the super market, no hesitation.

[@AnatolyKhalizev]

I love it since I was early 20es! But I'm not a party guy and usually get along with older people.

[@muntster]

You nailed this one. I have always considered Ambre Sultan befitting of its name as it comes across very regal; something to be worn in formal settings. Also, you mentioned sandalwood. Do you think this contains real sandalwood or an accord built from synthetics? For the price, I would be surprised if it contained real sandalwood.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I think its a combination of both. Which is the best type of perfumery. Aroma chemicals can support naturals and lift them up to be beautiful. Natural and earth united with science.

[@FidoeFTW]

I'm hoping one day you can review Green Irish Tweed from Creed or Nautica Voyage.

[@SerenityChamber]

Awesome video. I definitely want to try this one 👍🏻

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Remember get a sample first .

[@groovycarter]

My favorite amber is Maitre Perfumeur Et Gantier’s Ambre Preciuex, I actually think the house has many great fragrances.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I really need to do an amber fragrance. Its my favourite note

[@Lecream1]

great reviews. This one is a masterpiece. I will wear it to church or dressed up

[@felixwolf6759]

Great video !!

[@tonymalizia]

Great, now you also have to review Ambre Narguile by Hermes that I mentioned.😁

[@ddjalil]

Seconded. These two, though very different IMO, are some of my favorite ambers.

[@tonymalizia]

@@ddjalil Yes, obviously not because they are similar (other than the Amber and Middle Eastern reference), but because it's another sweet tobacco frag that I think Aaron would love.

[@YaYa-ke1zr]

Do you ever get Apple Pie-ish vibes from Ambre Narguile? Might just be my skin.

[@tonymalizia]

@@YaYa-ke1zr I don't think so, but they probably put those fruity aroma chemicals that are also used in apple and pear accords in it. I think they are called acetates or something.

[@YaYa-ke1zr]

@@tonymalizia Thanks. I like the scent because I love Amber... it comes off a bit gourmand on me but it’s not annoying so. It’s sophisticated yet cozy. I should check out a new sample because the ones I’m using might be an older version.

[@djones8571]

The cutest bottle of cologne I've ever seen. It looks like you got it out of a bubble gum machine.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Its so sweet.

[@harryrs5273]

Top 3 best amber fragrance you have tried? (designer & niche)

[@sukhdeepsinghsaini]

Amazing 😻

[@jura_rose]

Hi Aaron. I would love to see you review Moschino Toyboy. It was released in 2019 and is extremely unique and different. It has strong rose and pink pepper notes. Another couple of suggestions is Arabian Oud Ghroob and Terre D'Hermes. All the best

[@solomonsvineyard5371]

You love it I love it sounds like quality

[@Abruzzi108]

I’m a history professor in my early 40’s. Does it suit me? 😎😁

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I think this is perfect for a work or day off scent. If I smelt this on one of my chemistry lectures in Uni I would of been impressed. But all of my chemistry professors smelt of solvents.

[@Abruzzi108]

Aaron Terence Hughes 😅 and am gonna smell like old books, right?! Thank you! I truly enjoy your reviews and I will definitely go for this scent! 👌

[@PonyTrotsky]

"Surge Lootin"? I like that.

[@Ferrucci_1666]

These fragrance houses need to create more real masculine scents. Most of the fragrances are either sweet or citrusy or gourmand. Us men need some real manly scents like Amouage Interlude man, JV dark rebel and Bentley man intense. Aaron create a master masculine scent.

[@domrice8628]

The best amber❤

[@tonymalizia]

Blending question: Are they also using patchouli in tobacco accords? I mean those fake accords, without actual tobacco.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

It depends what you are trying to do. Its not so straight forward. There is also a few different types of Patchouli. A good perfumer will reach for the right type of Patchouli for the right formulation.

[@tonymalizia]

@@AaronTerenceHughes I'm asking because I think they are using spicy patchouli accords to simulate tobacco, usually with cloves.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

@@tonymalizia Sounds lovely;) Your know why in 2021
