The way he speaks and explains is just amazing. Haven't heard anyone who speaks this much knowledge about fragrance. He deserves way much more credits

[@pepepotamo4819]

And more amazing his fragances are.

[@almatoledo1608]

I also enjoy his delivery and the art on skin :)

[@terrysmiles8599]

He is really good i will say that! There is only one Aaron for sure! so i agree!

[@ATLieNole]

That's because this is what he does so as far as reviews go you're not going to get a better breakdown of a fragrance than what ATH gives you, str8 knowledge which is why I'm always going to forever watch his reviews regardless!! 💯

[@ohiorichkidbeats]

I 1000% agree

[@gilbertgarcia2974]

I thoroughly enjoy, listening how you break everything down, very honest with the review. Digging the vibe man. Keep it coming!

[@ez_scents]

Hi Aaron hope you are well 😊 I just wanted to say that I have loved following you on your journey as a fragrance reviewer! I feel the content has gotten better with every review and I hope there are many more to come 🤞 Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and opinions 👍

[@ibtheartist]

This is what I’m looking for in a fragrance review. If more people did their reviews in this format I’d subscribe. No need for 4 mins of self promotion before we even get into the review. So sir I applaud 👏🏾 this video and here is a humble subscribe.

[@crystalstarfestival4100]

Aaron, your presentation is exquisite, and your accent really helps ;)

[@diamonevideos9318]

I've bought it because of your previous review where you've mentioned dark fragrances that go with dark skin types and i looooooved the idea !

[@alexanderekubo538]

What video was that please ?

[@coreypowers2100]

Aaron I love your videos . You are great at breaking things down. I wanna try your fragrances

[@mihaelapribu9370]

Thank you! I bought one for my son. You have a special style to communicate with us. 🎉

[@stuartbarnhill2795]

Good afternoon Aaron, enjoyed your take on BLACK PHANTOM

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Black Phantom and Angel's Share are two of my favorite fragrances. I've never found the perfect fragrance yet, but I like these a lot. It's like food, some people love garlic, and others want to barf. LOL We all have different tastes. Great video. Thanks, Aaron.

[@TeyanThuny]

You will love Initio Blessed Baraka i thing

[@aromaddict]

Well, since that I've watched both of your reviews of Black Phantom, I would say that this isn't based on emotions as the deleted video.. The removed video showed much more emotions of surprise than this one, but it kind of boosted my love for the fragrance.. this reaction is much more poised and analytical than the other one.. I'd like to believe that there's a hidden message behind this which might be don't be overwhelmed with a fragrance.. just give it its time and wear, only then you can justly evaluate it.. great reviews man, all the way👏❤️

[@user-pp9bl5gr1n]

Or because he has his own fragrances and didn’t want to hype up another house brand

[@Duffman294]

Great review! Actually the flatness of this fragrance is soimething that i particularry liked, it puts the focus more onto the main actors and makes it less overwhelming. Idk im not an expert but it should arive at my doorstep an moment now :) I dont need it to have everything and it smells perfect to my nose as is

[@caizey]

Absolutely, Kerosene Follow has an even more authentic coffee feeling with a stronger projection :) Great review maestro 🦄 Btw as a British lad, what's your opinion about Clive Christian fragrances? Are these high prices legitimate regarding use of raw materials? Is there a noticeable difference compared to other niche brands, which do stuff for less money?

[@christinabenesko7283]

I really enjoy this fragrance. It reminds me of a coffee shop that I went to in New York during the fall.

[@bogdantoneff2693]

Love your take on fragrances. Glad to see your channel grow 💥

[@ganbatte1260]

hi, nice review. which bathc code did you got? is it white or black on the box? just curious because there are 2 kinds in my country.

[@thedonaslan6293]

You should try out more from Initio🥰 I suggest you should also review Psychedelic Love as it’s truly magical… Also the one that’s called Rehab, other suggestions would be Blessed Baraka and Absolute Aphrodisiac by Initio❤️

[@pooolish334]

Great review Aron as always! But i would like to know what is the name of the music in the background 🙏

[@adriancano3991]

This my favorite Winter Fall fragrance I have a much older bottle I get 10 hours pushes all Night I’m a little confused lol

[@chowj2019]

You are just phenomenal. Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷

[@chuck9569]

Can anyone tell me if it’s truly been reformulated? I have a sample that I love & I want a full bottle cop but not if I’m gonna be disappointed.

[@_Only_Zuul]

i don't know if your review is for an older version of this fragrance, but when i tried it this year, it didn't smell much like that you're describing? maybe it's been reformulated? black phantom is a beastly voodo vaporous apparition of a fragrance that has long staying power and a is reminiscent of a stage smoke machine mixed with oud and incense.. i recall walking through a crowd of people wearing black phantom and hearing WTF from pretty much everyone surrounding me!

[@quashanrivers6331]

I love the way you talk with your hands

[@smthreet21]

I almost had a fake i thought at first because i was picking up a lactonic peach! Good to know im not crazy. Thanks as always for giving your notes and expert opinions! Long time fan

[@phoebetsau9635]

Thanks for another honest review🦄💜! It’s one of my favorites because it just smells like Irish coffee and unique but I agree it could have more projection.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

For £185/50ml it should! For £145/50ml it would of got a 9.12/10

[@Jenkinsjournal]

I’m dark skin, would you say this is a good one for me? I like dark perfumes

[@aromafh2486]

Great honest review,, aroma from heaven

[@Jtdubbzz]

💯 agree. Thank you for clarifying what’s missing here. I’m very underwhelmed as well

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@danielheusler3441]

I have this stuff and absolutely loveeee it. These videos are super cool, very unique!

[@TheLuxumbrae]

Hi! Can you review 'ITALICA' by Xerjoff Casamorati? I would love to hear your opinions on it. It is now a permanent part of the Casamorati line.

[@foxisch8814]

Hey Aaron, are you going to try some of Francesca bianchi? Her fragrances are really interesting and in my opinion special. I think you‘ll really like them!! And maybe ambre tabac by daniel josier is interesting too!

[@moshe4833]

Hey.. i can decide between kilian phantom to Marley Layton What do you think about

[@hannw7]

This one is delicious and addictive to me. Perfect for Winter ❄️

[@danmamo5849]

He is so inspiring, tests you if you are this passionate about your own profession.

[@orcuntekarslan3623]

Hey Aaron thanks for great reviews! I would love your review of New York Intense by Parfums de Nicolai. I think it would suit you so well since you like the animalistic elegance of 80-90's perfumery combined with modern touches. Love from Istanbul..

[@bradleystroup1457]

If you're going to keep doing kilian reviews, I think "Light My Fire" "Royal Leather" "Musk Oud" are some of the interesting ones. "Vodka on the Rocks" has a really interesting accord going on and "Gold Knight" i think is pretty good. Goes in the YSL Opium pour homme direction but smoother. And you can't go Kilian without doing Straight to Heaven. Loved your Back to Black review. That's one of my favorites

[@Chilltown95]

Just name the whole line at this point 😂

[@JoeCoplen]

Yes, these used to come in the lacquered skull coffret. They seem to have dropped all the coffrets for a more basic presentation. The prices dropped by about $50, but I expect they'll wind up bumping the price back up again. Supposedly cyanide smells like "bitter almond," but I think I remember hearing that apple seeds contain some cyanide, so that's kind of what I looked for.

[@ak47yoyo55]

I think people started to buy the refill more than the full presentation.

[@PBA8]

No they still sell them. You got to make sure you order it with the coffret. Check their website if you like

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s a crazy price. Thank you Joe

[@adox66]

You can pick up the refill bottles for a little over €100 on discounter sites. That’s what I did with Back To Black.

[@PBA8]

@@AaronTerenceHughes you can still buy the coffret just got to make sure that you selected the one that comes with it on their website.

[@warthus7125]

Yo man, try Insomnia by Faviol Sefferi. It's a Bulgarian fragrance, about 80$ for 50ml if you purchase outside of Bulgaria, and It's inspired by Killian Black Phantom, but blended smoother, lasts 12+ hours and it's better overall.

[@Fah__Q]

ATH nice review. This fragrances gets a ton of hype and I’m not a fan either. Question, do you wash ur arm off after testing something like this or you leave it on all day in case it changes ur mind?

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Yes. I put baby oil on first. Then shampoo over the top. Wet and rinse off.

[@patrykgtv3502]

I watching your every single review and I absolutely love listen what you think of fragrances! I would like to see your reaction on Amouage Imitation man ! It’s very weird addictive and unique fragrance and that’s why I bought it to my collection 😋

[@davestainsby9964]

Try parfum de marly kalan.. its definitely a love it or hate it fragrance. Would love your opinion . I personally think its great.

[@ApricusInaros]

I like Black Phantom as a more simple gourmand fragrance. I enjoy the absence of vanille, as I'm very anti vanille in perfumes. The longevity is lacking unfortunately. On my skin it lasted 5 hours max. Oh and new subscriber here :)

[@sammy_sam_leonardo]

To get the lacquered box for the full experience you have to pay more ~£240/£250 I believe…

[@victormitsopoulos9765]

The full presentation is the gloss black lock box with the skull and the box tou got Aaron is the refill box thats why it is simple

[@edwardomoreno2998]

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!! Whats your sign?!

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Fantastic review

[@tremichaelsimpson2752]

I need a pack of your shirts . I like the fit

[@japantrains]

This guys is so underrated !!!

[@dannyc91a]

It projects like a beast once your body heats up.

[@raulsaavedra709]

The Kerosene you mention must be Kerosene Follow, which I've been interested in for a while, but I believe it's not easily available in Europe, or is it? I can't find it anywhere, and it seems the manufacturer doesn't ship it to the EU from the US

[@raulsaavedra709]

Correction, I just checked again and Kerosene does ship to the EU. Maybe they changed that after last time I visited their page, or maybe I was confused with some other brand. In any case just ordered their sample set, looking forward to it!

[@aitorsanz2726]

Hi Aaron! Can you review African Leather by Memo Paris? Thank you!

[@terrysmiles8599]

Very Very Nice review Aaron! Love black Phantom! Sometimes i think you would be so cool to hang out with! Actually i meant you would be cool to hang out with! Why...Because your different and super cool from what i can tell...I think your one cool character Aaron love who you seem to be! You have yourself a wonderful day!

[@dianaathens1]

Black phantom was the reason i got into niche perfumes

[@rocklee5231]

I like smelling Black Phantom alongside La Petite Robe Noir by Guerlain.

[@Namo81]

Between this and Naxos from xerjoff which is a better fragrance overall ?? thank you for a great review man loved it 👍👍

[@dusanninic5372]

Naxos

[@jstacks444]

Naxos

[@al5152001]

Excellent presentation 👍🏼

[@MDN10021]

You’re amazing. Thank you

[@Churros4eva]

For this price I would expect it to blow me away but it doesn't tick that box for me :-/

[@texasfan8892]

I was thinking you reviewed this already but maybe I'm wrong.

[@stadtwerkehemer8193]

Hey aaron nice review you really need to checkout plum in cognac by scent of woods this perfume won the perfume extraordinere 2021 would love too See youre Reaction on this fragrance buts its a limited Edition so you need to get youre Hands quickly on this nice fragrance

[@4rsa1an]

🙏🏽Thanks Aaron

[@MrCJR86]

my favourite one that i own in my collection. the other box is more expensive the coffret i think they call it

[@xkoningx]

The opening is really weird on me but after the 1st 30 mins it's very nice. The refills are fairly priced imo (140 euro) but the full bottles are too expensive =[.

[@InvincibleJ]

I love this one SO much. Black Phantom and Intoxicated smell incredible together

[@sebastienc.2257]

Interesting combo

[@yanikjayaram]

Hey peeps, I am in the market for a coffee fragrance that truly captures the warmth of a well-blended roast in a new york coffee shop, possibly with complimentary notes of vanilla, something which both projects and has longevity. I'd like it to capture a memory of a coffee shop (i.e. in the vein of the Replica line), but something which performs better than Coffee Break. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

[@thepogue]

Have no idea what your talking 'bout....but I love learning! Keep it up brother.

[@coreypowers2100]

I have this fragrance and have had it for a while and I am a fan of Balck phantom. It could project better though and should be more potent too. Therefore I agree with you totally but it is good!!

[@jstacks444]

I thought about getting this one, but I keep seeing comments about performance issues. I wonder has it been reformulated because early on people were saying it was beastmode? I have a two clones of it but I was going to get the original.

[@radek3531]

@@jstacks444 ive had the opposite experience it projects really well off my skin. More so than a lot of ‘beastmode’ fragrances but it might just be my body chemistry.

[@danielclv97]

at my local store, you can still buy Black Phantom in the Kilian coffret, but you have to pay $63 more

[@cynthias8435]

This actually smells like peanut milk to me. The beginning is nice, base note smells a bit chemical.

[@royvan6224]

This perfume is very very nice. I thankfully found one like the sample I smelled years ago.

[@shawnerickson2325]

I enjoy the fragrance and yes if you want the lacquer box you're going to pay for it !!!! But in my opinion if you want a good coffee fragrance just us your Arabica ❤️🦄❤️. I like yours more for sure !!!!

[@aromafromheaven]

Nice review

[@keyzopendoorz123]

Bro I watch big beard and you to find my fragrances … but just how you explain is just like when I play a NAS album . Just excellence at its best ✊🏾

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I appreciate that!

[@Alirothy]

You loved it a lot the first time you review it, what changed?

[@tosca8472]

Good question!

[@hojubaby]

I absolutely hated this one and i felt like a barrel of rum walking around, I immediately gave it away 😂😂 this smells exactly like the drink Bailey’s

[@christopherbird2739]

Thats what it is!!!! I couldn't put my finger on it but I knew it smelled familiar

[@distributorovkvlt-points5481]

I've heard that cyanide GAS smells like orange blossoms. The though just warms my soul.

[@user-xg3iq6tz7m]

Is it good ore not?

[@Fer-fy8dx]

I loveeee your voice

[@raphaelmacho1559]

Hi Aaron Please review THE MOON by frederic malle! You will Love it! Greetings from Vienna

[@inogemaya9302]

Please do!!! I can’t wait for that review!

[@ck3965]

I have both an old and a new bottle and it’s dramatic how they changed it . It went from a beastly luxurious gourmand to a cheap dirt like smelling sweet piece of crap that doesn’t project even with 6 sprays .

[@jstacks444]

Wow..you may have just saved me 300$....I was going to purchase the Coffret presentation but I keep hearing about possible reformulation & Kilian watering down their fragrances. I have two clones of Alexandria Fragrances Dark Knight & Insomnia but I wanted the original but if its lacking in performance, I'll pass on it...I hope they dont water down Back to Black because I have that one & enjoy it very much

[@IanFleming808]

Amouage should make a beast mode version of this. I guess a sweeter version of interlude man.

[@MrLanarana]

the black box with with skull on top was amazing, now the price is higher and there is no amazing box

[@TheNraveles]

They still sell the lacquered boxes but it’s more expensive

[@LanceG007]

I want one of those t shirts

[@almatoledo1608]

Ciao! Love hand swaying.

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

Please re-visit Back to Black. That's my favorite Kilian Paris fragrance! I would like to know if your opinion has changed on that also. Cheers!

[@dannymartinez3600]

I’d like to see this too! I was surprised at his initial take on Carlisle which he didn’t like at all but appreciated he was able revisit and see his opinion evolve and ended up talking highly of it. Back to Black is also my favorite from the house of Killian. It’s so good. I didn’t know I loved honey so much. I only have a decant and will eventually get the fancy full bottle.

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

Yes my Back to Black decant is almost finished also and I'll be getting a full bottle soon. Trust me! I dig Black Phantom also but it turns into a skin scent too quickly for me, but it's a nice scent nonetheless

[@statagraf]

Hey Aaron! Are you going to review Tobacco Oud Intense by Tom Ford?

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Yes. I did it Monday. So will be the next few weeks

[@statagraf]

Spoiler: Did you liked it? :)

[@Bakihanma_420]

Angel share or black phantom guys this is my first KILIAN fragrance

[@patrickbateman4541]

I was actually waiting for the clock to hit 30 so it would be uploaded! Ha

[@christopherbird2739]

I used to like this one but it started making me feel sick, its a very sickly scent

[@cozcozmo1565]

I’d like your personal opinion of BHT please. (Common additive in perfumes)

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

It’s safe in small doses. I use it to protect against Oxidation.

[@cozcozmo1565]

Good to hear, thank you! 👍

[@Capone2121]

You have to pay extra for the other box

[@sarahb2731]

I was shocked to learn something about the big name frags at arguably the biggest Niche store in Canada. The 3 to 5 main(best) notes of these frags are replaced with SYNTHETICS !!! I am in a city with over 2 million people. You can get big name colognes in MANY drug stores, gas stations, etc like Dior Sauvage, Bleu De Chanel, Kilian, Tom Ford, Initio. I saw Dior bottles and Bleu De Chanel in a vending machine! Also they are all over airports. He/she said ambroxan is amped up sooo much like msg for food. The store gets asked all the time why many designer frags are not on the shelf and the response is on a website now to save time explaining. Pre Estee Lauder takeover they were all over her shelves. I, like many, smell BDC and Dior S. and find it just ok. The reason some on youtube still say it is the best ever is they get free bottles TO SELL and make $. I was floored.

[@adibfaisal1580]

Review xerjoff casamorati italica aaron😁

[@johnsouthern6089]

What gives Black Phantom the 'dirt' smell I get from it?

[@vincenthusvh]

Patchouli

[@gianfrancomurguia416]

its like a poem to all fragrances

[@Namo81]

This last on me 12+ hours great perfomer for sure on my skin

[@stephanier2690]

His ticks are mesmerizing.

[@moshe4833]

I don't understand how people say this perfume lasts for a long time.. The smell is pleasant and that's it.. a perfume that cost me 300 dollars that I purchased with great enthusiasm, one big mistake... after I sprayed myself as they say according to the book, the smell disappeared an hour later... and now there are those who will say that everyone's perfume is resistant in a different way .. I do not agree at all .. a perfume that costs about 300 dollars should and must be durable for a long time and especially if it is a perfume .. and in conclusion the kilian perfume has no presence and zero high durability ... this is my opinion ... and due to the disappointment I am selling the perfume

[@TeyanThuny]

I agree they are very overpriced and it’s just marketing. If you like coffee scent juste but Akro Awake it’s the best and good price too

[@sabrinaandbenji1390]

Are there any similar creators that explain the notes in a way like Aaron? Just to expand on thr perfumes. And hesr about perdumes that this channel hasnt mentioned yet..anybideas would be welcome, thank you friends❤
