This is the reason why I love Aaron's reviews, he (as well as I) is a Tom Ford fan (fragrances) but it's not ashamed to point it's faults, actually was sad and dissapointed. Altough the smell was actually good, but I can say and Aaron will probably agree, that we are seriously waiting for a ground breaking fragrance from Tom Ford, like Oud Wood, Tobacco Vainille and such...

I really like this scent. I bought a bottle and don't regret paying the price. It performs excellent on my skin, it's unfortunate to hear that you're not getting the same projection. I like that it's smoky in a very casual and wearable way. I've surprisingly gotten multiple unsolicited compliments. That said, I can see why you rated it the way that you did. While nice, it is missing a certain spark to make it something special.

I did my 8hr shift with my employer and on my way home the perfume was still smelling on on me. Buy this perfume, you won’t regret at all.

I love the smell of this ebene fume, It reminds me of copal, a ceremonial and cleansing tree resin that is burnt for ceremonial purposes (Oaxaca, Mexico) for me its cleansing and projects beautifully, not as much as id want to though, on my skin. I been layering it recently with Santal Blush! its funny you brought that up, but as you say, they are similar enough to layer (EF first and then SB) and it gives it that needed extra "umph", that projection and its amazing. Then again for the price, as you worded it, youd expect it to be complete. I love it and would recommend you to try it, and if you see this comment, let me know what you think! I love your videos and as they are raw and unbiased from a pro perspective. i would love to see a review on Bois Dargent by Dior in their private collection, this one is my absolute favorite!

Maybe it's an American or millennial thing, but palo santo is a very popular incense smudge, in the form of lightly colored chips of the branch. Has been used forever in Central America, and is pretty expensive, relative to other wood derived oils. I quite like Ebene Fume and find it projects just as much as I want it to.

New Microphone Aaron? The auido in your videos now is to die for. The backround is just so clean and there is no echo what so ever. Sounds like a professional sound booth. I don't own any Tom Ford perfumes but I once tried fucking fabulous and while I liked it, it caused me way too much nostalgia, almost melancholy emotions. It was actually a bit of an emotional ordeal! So I'm nervous of going back to Tom Ford. Probably seems crazy to most people but maybe you understand.
