This is the one fragrance in my current collection that has me smelling and re-smelling my wrists again and again as it dries down. Fcking masterpiece imo and the one fragrance I wear for myself.

[@havenoname123]

The same for me 😮

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

Man I feel bad for you if you only got one like that. Mystic Experience, Side Effect, Blessed Baraka, Man in Black, Luna Rossa Black, Code Parfum (ymmv), D&G The One EDP to a degree. I found a number of really addictive ones, but MIB remains the most addicting one to me.

[@BungleTheGooner]

@@pandemicneetbux2110 I’ve slowed down on frag buying, mainly cos I live in Japan, and the ¥/$ exchange rate is weak as sh1t right now. I have to buy from discounters based in the states unless I want to pay retail, (which no one should, I’ve only ever paid retail for Chanel). I’ll make a note of your listed recommendations for the future, when the Japanese yen stops being so damn weak sauce! Cheers fella 🤝

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

@@BungleTheGooner I'm guessing there's no way to crypto or other payment, I forget if ebay does that yet but I mostly like using ebay. I only got ripped off outright once (which was bizarrely for a $35 The One, idk why by that one cheap one is fake af everywhere and my expensive ones all fine) and found massive deals online there, like $150 for a brand new Initio. Not sure how ebay work in Japan. I thought USD was weak af too right now

[@BungleTheGooner]

@@pandemicneetbux2110 eBay is sketchy my end mate 😂 I was trying to get my hands on JpG le male elixir not so long ago, which has no official distribution channel in this region, and places like Harrods in the UK don’t ship here, nor does JpG directly; eBay has it, but it’s a crapshoot imo, not to mention the surge pricing and the postage! I like my frags but I have a ceiling 😃

[@tonymalizia]

Do a Lavender & Geranium barbershop fragrance for gentlemen in your own style. You can add Rosemary or another minty note to finish it off. Round it up with your own signature accords. I bet your classy male customers would love such a fragrance. Just my humble opinion.

[@michaelbaez8417]

I just ordered a sample of this. Piqued my interest listening to other reviewers. Looks like it's a good buy from your expert nose as well. Thanks for your time Aaron. Love hearing your opinion and note breakdowns.

[@leethebaldguy9390]

I think this is the happiest i have seen you review one. Great to see your smile from ear to ear as you review :)

[@411Fragrance]

You give the most soothing, calm and informative reviews

[@emilschachtschabel228]

It's so nice to watch you review fragrances :)

[@Cloudburst2000]

I like that you also give designer fragrances their due as some are really good. I never get bored of a fragrance in my collection because I have a fairly extensive collection so I change fragrances almost every day. Sometimes I like a more simple fragrance depending on my mood. I usually go for more complex but occasionally a simple fragrance is totally my pick.

[@FactoryFugitive]

My sentiments exactly. I honestly love plenty of designer frags. Everything you said is essentially what I was thinking while watching this.

[@szef6869]

You easily have the most enjoyable fragrance reviews on youtube, keep it up Aaron!

[@anthonyhibbert5219]

The dude knows his shit - that’s for sure - love watching his reviews.

[@onemanband86]

Just bought this last weekend it’s nice❤️ Also love the way you review fragrances.

[@simonsartium8904]

I also love the smell of lavander! So peacefull and cosy!

[@corpsog163]

i have had my eye on this for a while, I definitely want to check it out. great review Aaron

[@JadedMuse2]

The two things I love the most in these videos are the moving hands and the way that link chain always perfectly frames the unicorn. 💖🦄

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

🦄

[@effluviumcast]

I personally love the smell of ionones, particularly alpha ionone and beta ionone. They do have a tendency to cause anosmia if whiffed neat though, or if they are overdosed in a fragrance.

[@Steve_D1974]

Love you Aaron. Just ordered this 5 mins ago after having the sample a while... Love at first sniff

[@mybad4101]

Spanish Lavender is really nice and buttery with ambery effects, I love it. Coumarin is highly used in Alexandria II from Xerjoff, which you really should try. Also has Lavender.

[@4eyedike]

Agreed. I like to forget about this one and rediscover it every few weeks- keep the jolly french vibe fresh and exciting!

[@sadbanana5896]

I love the licorice in this one, smells really good on my skin after a few hours

[@theunkownmr.562]

Just in time! I've been wanting to buy this!

[@ZeJuggler]

Love love love the background music. Combined with the unique inflection of your voice, it makes these videos mysterious and infatuating while remaining informative👍

[@pauln0371]

Another great review Aaron 👍

[@drmatt357]

Great review of this scent. It is one of my favorite. I have a question tho... Have you ever smelled a scent like this and thought "I could do it even better" and play in your lab just for fun and see what you come up with? Also, I was watching your Side Effect review and you actually cried it was so good and you said it inspired you. Have you been so inspired by a scent that you actually created one of your own and if so what was your scent and what was the inspiration?

[@nonononononononono666]

man, you are reviewing the perfume that i just sit wondering if i should buy. Like i looked at this perfume 1 week ago. thanks for an awesome review your profesionalisme helps a lot when making final decision ❤️

[@richardturnbull6333]

Good review Aaron as always my friend 😀👍... I'm hoping to purchase your product that you released the other day. I'm hoping August.

[@cristianconstantin46]

Love this scent, when i'm wearing i riceve a lot of compliments 💯🔥🔥🔥👌

[@karimdamerji7011]

I think if you wear the Same perfume everyday it will get boring. this is definitely a special occasion/night out fragrance the smell is heavenly. always blows me away.

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

Yeah this is true but you can still get addicted to the right one

[@user-ps7xc1rd2h]

True I wore le male elixir for 1 week straight, had a decent and finished it all. Over 54 sprays and I got sick of it. I do own a bottle and I bought a backup. But tbh I don’t touch it as much I do prefer le parfum over it.

[@dominiquescott8296]

I have this one... Better than the 1st in my opinion as well.. Thank you ATH... It's not AuTHentic without ATH

[@AromaReviews1]

Great review.. one of my fav's from last year..

[@murthmobile]

Great revieuw Aaron! I really like the scent aswell. I dont wear it a lot tbh i dunno how i get to it but it somehow smells a lil like some Dutch Liquorice to me.

[@justinmuscatello8047]

When i heard all this hype about (aaron terrence hughes) i thought to myself there is no way this dude lives up to the hype i watched your channel and reviews im hooked I can't stop. Keep doing what your doing bro all the reviews are very thorough and executed perfectly i absolutely love them.......take care

[@PrepaidKreditkarte81]

Bought this one blind and love it straight away. But as you say, got bored pretty fast. Maybe because I have too many fragrances lol... Your hairline looks great!

[@quincyemanuels792]

Glad you like it! I had to get the 200ml the first time I smelled it

[@igorwalczak4471]

I might try layering this over santal extreme. Also please review Bad Boy La parfum by CH ,you really liked the edt.

[@adambogdaowicz2266]

I like how you pointed out the lily of the valley note because I get that too even tho it isn't listed. It's funny how close this one is to axe gold vanilla spice and dark oud tho.

[@cayetano6547]

Fair review. I think we can forgive many flaws or shortcomings if the price is good and it has excellent projection. I agree with your point system

[@stevenveganightowl12]

I love your take on JPG Le Parfum, an above average fragrance to wear to the office or night out with friends.

[@dirfrops]

Just ordered it a couple days ago. Good to hear this review lol.

[@maryhill00]

Can you review Le Beau? Seems like some people dont like it and some love it. Would like to hear your opinion on that one😊

[@gtiak274]

Verry nice Video! Do you think I can wear Le Parfum during the summer?

[@saram806]

All my "selves" love watching your reviews, especially the higher one!😄💛

[@jeffersonnicholas8990]

Excelent video aaron, i loved this fragrance so much but i didn't like the performance 😢. Could you make a review with the new "one milion parfum"?

[@SuperLarryF]

I really enjoy your review of this fragrance. I am wearing it today but maybe it doesn't work with my body chemistry because I can't smell it. I find that I like UltraMale better.

[@eiswalnuss111]

looking good today aaron :)

The Legendary Aaron

Your reviews will influance the industry to make better perfumes.

I believe in 5-10 years I believe I will of

[@vik3443]

Im really hoping you will do parfums de marly pegasus exclusif i loved your review on the original and bought it aswell, thinking of buying the exclusif but i hear mixed things

[@ProtectMyLiberty]

Aaron, make us a 'lots of Spanish lavender' fougere , amber base and no vetiver, with the unicorn magic added in. 😍😍 I'll buy a case of it. 😉

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I think so to

[@paulycornwelly]

Lv this fragrance, the best of le Male for me, smells like a mix of the original le male and ultra male but far better blended than any of the other variants. Longevity is great for me.. Sweeeeet... Another great review 👍

[@vilasgaikwad5684]

Can you please review Prada l'homme? It supposedly has very high quality ingredients just wanna know what you think about it

[@MrLanarana]

I'm so happy Violet Delirium is back in stock, I just get it ♥️

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

My pleasure

[@colinnotyou0k78]

I love the opening of this, but the deep dry down has something less pleasant to it. A fragrance that is better suited to applying 3 or 4 sprays throughout the day opposed to all at once, thus maintaining the best bit!

[@jarrettjustin3031]

I agree with you. The dry down after about 5-7 hours gets very flat and bland to me.

[@colinnotyou0k78]

@@jarrettjustin3031 I scored 2 unsolicited comments from work mates with my Dior Homme Intense today, something this fragrance has yet to achieve 😥😂

[@androxavanti]

I think you've hit the nail on the head: it's a really nice fragrance that becomes boring very quickly. I also find there is something missing and the bottle has been sitting on the shelf without much use lately.

[@neilcampbell4833]

There's not a lot of fragrance's I've been impressed with lately , the one that's stood out for me the most recently is trussardi riflesso it's really impressive for a designer fragrance.

[@ihopenot4931]

@@neilcampbell4833 Agreed

[@fragmericanidiot]

I have a weakness for Iris, I'll blind buy when I see Iris in the note breakdown. But add to it the fact that Aaron likes it? TAKE MY MONEY NOW MR GAULTIER!!!

[@Thijspluymert]

Try Prada l'homme it's the best iris fragrance

[@fragmericanidiot]

@@Thijspluymert Yeah, Prada L’homme is good, I like the Intense one a lot, and water splash is nice. I feel like currently, Givenchy is doing Iris the best. That whole Gentleman lineup is 🔥🔥🔥

[@oluwaseyia8548]

I had to buy the full bottle (I wasn't a fan initially) because after washing my sweatshirt I can still smell it for almost a week. The only cologne that ever gave me such performance was Eternity in the early 90's

[@mattbourassa4938]

I sprayed it on my wrist in store, and about a quarter of the spray went into my wool jacked sleeve. That sleeve smelled heavenly for almost TWO WEEKS.

[@3r1kz]

I love this and Dior Homme parfum, but the Dior is too much for a hot day and I feel the JPG Le Male parfum is so much fresher for those kind of days.

[@LemonToGo]

I have a test bottle of this and I can still detect the base aromas after 3 days on my forearm. This includes three separate showers.

[@user-zl8lu5bf3f]

Would love to see a review of Xerjoffs Naxos Aaron,stay well.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

At 30k subscribers. It was the most requested fragrance to review

[@properfpv7160]

This one was too sweet for me at first. Now it’s grown on me and I enjoy it though I don’t wear it often

[@Fresh_Indeed]

I wanted to like this one but all my nose picked up when I got to smell it was that Iris note and all I could think of at the time was Valentino Uomo intense and Dior Homme intense. I passed on this one.

[@hameedsharyff]

The drydown is amazing

[@xSpartan127x]

Can never find this!

[@LA-st6dq]

Le Male Le Parfum is sexual fire, one of some of course but it is 🔥🔥🔥

[@jonathanashleythomas3247]

only jpg i still have is le beau its the only one i have found that lasts on me ive sold all my others on

[@nickvarga463]

This one or the Original Le Male? I know u liked the OG too

[@RonaldJapenga]

Spot. On.

[@mahdiouhajji173]

Can you review "le beau" from the same house

[@christopheclaus8505]

liked you review, i own it i find it very good the longevity is also good i just dont hope they screw this up with reformulations , just smelled ombre nomad from louis vuitton i dare you to do 6 sprays on your arm XD

[@wagnerktp6483]

He is really on point : Fantastic fragrance, get bored quick.

[@parkercomputing]

First place I go when considering a new fragrance

[@bpthatsme7607]

IF THIS WAS A TRUE EDP. THEY COULD SELL IT AS A NICHE FRAGRANCE. IT SMELLS BOMB AS F WHEN IT FIRST HITS. JUST DOESNT LAST LONG ENOUGH FOR ME. I STILL HAVE IT THOUGH.

[@1974hus]

Have you sampled The new Elixir, Would like you opinion 🙏🏼

[@evanescence686]

Could you review scandal by night by JPG, please?

[@milenvalchanov1208]

this is my number one of fragrances!my favorite

[@kjekkasalexkjekkas]

My scent of the day! How did you know?! 😉👍

[@FREEUS1776]

I really like this fragrance. My only problem is that because I don't go out to the club anymore I can hardly find a time it's appropriate to wear. Actually as I get older that's become more and more of a problem. You start to quickly realize that most fragrances are situational. They're mood setters and complimentors.

[@411Fragrance]

This is true. You find yourself not utilizing your fragrances due to the pandemic. My bottles are collecting dust

[@AppleCases123]

This is definitely not a club fragrance, the projection is weak af, it‘s a much better date scent.

[@karentaylorsmells]

I know what you guys are saying, but maybe try to find times to wear them and enjoy them, lift your mood while we are in this time.. it seems a shame to let lovely smells collect dust, would it be nice just to pick up your mood, put some music on etc :-) and enjoy your fragrances? 🙂

[@blacklite911]

Not a club fragrance, date night/cuddle fragrance. You can wear anything you want any wear of course, but it wont project through a group of people

[@Chernabog123]

It’s not a loud fragrance, I really like the JPG stuff. I wear this one to work

[@grahamstirzaker5810]

Its amazing wore it yesterday got 3 compliments

[@MrZZooh]

I like how you put it on a pedestal only to knock it down a second later. I also like that you said it smells French. They're the ultimate perfumers.

[@vost2916]

No they are not. Middle Easterners are the best perfumers.

[@MrZZooh]

@@vost2916 well modern colognes is what I mean. But yes in terms of history, Arabs and Persians have been making perfumes for far longer than the French.

[@taimooralibukhari]

After this review, picked my first post Aaron review fragrance. Worth it. Its proven once Aaron educate you, you cant go wrong. Selection and differentiation is way too easy

[@jts4248]

Love le Male Le Parfum

[@rugby721]

I love this fragrance but the original from 1995 without reformulation was much better.

[@Memfys]

I really like this one. To my nose, it's a mix of OG Le Male (which I don't love) and Ultra Male (which I love). I actually wear it a lot and it's smells great from start to finish. Longevity is very good. Thanks for the review!

This or Armani Code Absolu? What would be better for someone in their early 30's?

[@Davethegoat19]

Creed viking

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

get both. both are very affordable and absolutely worth it if you are in this kind of scent. I have to disagree with this video, wearing the same scent for a month or so is a bad thing with any scent. for several reasons. people around are getting annoyed by the same smell over and over again. oh here comes that smell again. 2nd you are getting insensitive to it yourself.

[@ManuelMedellin.]

@@keep_walking_on_grass Agree here, building up a Fragrance collection of at least 30 different Scents is kinda mandatory, you should rotate and use another one every other month, so important to keep the Love for your fragrances. They can be the most amazing Scents, but if you don't switch up things you will start dislike even your most expensive ones, because that's just how it is with Scents. In fact you NEED to have at least two Fragrances for every Occation, and three for all four Seasons of the year.

[@andrei19maran47]

Code Absolu

[@bassacoustic1549]

Both are good. I really don’t think age comes into it for fragrances as much as people say. The loud, synthetic, sweet clubbing fragrances maybe are for the 18-25 range, but everything else can be worn by whomever I’d say. Certainly the two you mentioned are appropriate for any age range. Both are good fragrances, but to answer your question it really depends if you like iris or not. If you’re an iris fan, go for the iris-heavy le male le parfum. If you’re more into powdery vanilla with some mandarin and nutmeg (I think) and want to avoid the iris then check out absolu. Both good value with discounters if you wanted the pair.

[@MrRocketman88]

The girlfriend brought me this :) I like it and yeah as you say good value

[@ricdynasty]

The opening is great and the most promising aspect of the fragrance. However, once it dries down it becomes rather mundane and like every other sweet fragrance.

[@jakubtrela1680]

I agree. It’s really nice but start being annoying after a month of wearing it.
