This is the only authentic, high quality perfume channel left on KZbin anymore. Everything else is marketing noise from the usual suspects stateside. As always, thank you for the free education, Mr. Hughes. Always a pleasure, mate! Be well & stay healthy and safe.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I never read anything to be honest I now spray it on myself and my staff the day of the review so I know about the dry down. But I have a very insular life. I am only interested in my work and have zero interest in marketing or watching reviews or frag sites. I value my critical thinking

[@tvnja]

Agree, most only talk about getting "compliments", "dropping panties" and making tops over and over again.

[@ComplexWork]

@@tvnja you literally described this girl named Melissa on here. She’s beyond annoying lmao

[@westonaggen8980]

Justin Copeland I definitely trust him

[@kle9268]

This is my number one fragrance! I only had one person ever compliment me on this fragrance. When I first smelled it, I couldn’t understand the hype. I also know exactly what you mean by bubble bath - it’s the soapy clean sweetness up close lol.

[@ricardosousacarvalho7654]

Been watching perfume reviews for a while and this is the first time I find someone who can actually educate me on the subject. Thank you.

[@gcbwoods]

Fantastic review. Always love to hear your perspective even if it's not a fragrance I'm personally interested in. Always learn something new. And yes, your description on the scent profile begins a mental path of what the fragrance combines could be put together on me.

[@ngliscsaxon6128]

The audio on this video is good Aaron, your voice is clear and the background music is just hearable but not too loud. 👌🏻 love your reviews mate

[@rememberdachagossian]

I've watched so many frangrance influencers over lockdown but finally found a real perfumer that's educating and has great insight..I'm broke but smell good...thanks !!

[@garethdyos8018]

I love the way you are able to visualise the fragrance. The way in which you move your hands literally sketches out in front of the viewer what the fragrance 'looks like'! Keep up the reviews and the good work Aaron!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I used to do the same when I played music when I was a child. My brain paints perfume like it’s music. I believe the perfume brain is connected to the music brain.

[@paulgarny7239]

ATH helping me escape reality for a few minutes. Thank you for the videos and reviews! Quality information I use when buying fragrances

[@wandcfirst]

Great detailed review Aaron! I've been trying Lyric for a while, "bubble bath" nails it! Though it's growing on me.. Worth checking on a warm evening

[@BrandonBaileyIG]

This works amazingly well in the heat. I really luv it. I know what you mean by 'bubblebath' but in the air it feels much different and after long dry down is a very comforting smell.

[@jeffreysmith3061]

Glad to hear you like Reflection Man and Interlude Black Iris. Both true masterpieces in my opinion. Thank you for my daily chemistry lesson Aaron! Always look forward to your unique and educated reviews.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

My pleasure. Thank you for watching

[@renegadebrad7448]

I like the way you do your reviews i know what you mean that as a ordinary person i don't understand totally the names of each ingredient and chemical etc but i like the in depth way you break them down in fine detail and you always give me enough to go by on a basic level too as well as the interesting process of what sounds complex, thanks 👍

[@leelogins3982]

Great Review Aaron, Amouage Lyric Man was my first Niche buy (2009), ended up being the scent of day for my wedding.

[@terrysmiles8599]

Very nice Aaron! Your so darn Smart! Love it! loyal fan forever! Aaron your a one of a kind reviewer and person....I could sit down with you and talk all day! Your a very interesting individual that is very intelligent! And that make you epic! You and a few other reviewers are just totally awesome at what you do!

[@KarstiQ]

Today I was thinking I'd like to see the Amouage review on your channel. Here it is. Thank you!

[@HSRVTPL]

Thank you for this amazing review! I was really amazed by this one, yet didn‘t find it suitable for my liking… Well, well, well… glad I will own a bottle of ONYX soon!!! 😍🧿

[@tonymalizia]

They are amazing at making high performance frags with freshness and brightness. Reflection Man is a bright woody white floral, but it's beast mode.

[@brian95240]

You pegged the description of what my thoughts were of this one. Being that I personally don't wear Rose, this one peaked my interest. I still wouldn't wear it, but I appreciated how Smoot it was. I was expecting a dry, sharp & abrasive potpourri Rose assault. This is one I can appreciate on someone else; from a small distance. The soapiness made it safe for me (to an extent).

[@AKmaniac93]

Great, honest review 👍👍 everyone has their preferences, fragrances are a subjective art form, it wouldn't be interesting if we all like the same scents :) looking forward to the next video

[@DarlingNikki2]

As a woman, I much prefer Lyric Man to Lyric Woman but not on my skin--this smells absolutely gorgeous on clothes! Sprayed this on a 100% cotton garment and the way it smelled made me sigh in deep appreciation. I also think this would make an amazing shower gel, bar soap, shampoo, and even a candle! Just not something I want to wear on my skin...

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Interesting

[@NScoff0110]

just yesterday received a semple. I'm totally charmed by Lyric men.... One of the best rosa in perfumes so far

[@dannysllrs]

You definitely got a new sub here! I was starting to get bored with fragrances which I hate. Even my collection reflects that. It's getting low and I'm confused at what I want now too. The way you break things down to the chemical makeup and why they use different things to have a certain outcome has seriously sparked my interests back. Thank you for doing what you do! You are a fragrance genius and inspiration to so many of us!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s very kind, thank you for watching

[@AIFTW259]

@@AaronTerenceHughes Can you review Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme Chanel? thanks mate love the honest content!

[@Segkee]

It took me a lot of testing. But it eventually became my first rose fragrance. I'm super happy with it.

[@nickz7235]

It’s the Blue note that makes me love this one so much. I have many, many rose fragrances so I’m always hunting for a twist. I love this Uber fresh out the bath rose. It’s very cool to me 😊

[@nickk8829]

I used to own this and I totally agree. My grandmother used to have a rose soap in her bathroom in a decorative dish and it’s a perfect match.

[@realtyisme]

I find the notes disclosed in a fragrance comparable to how a painter's pallet sets the foundation of the painting. Its always a good starting point for me. However, my nose will always make the final choice on the level of admiration.

[@cordos09]

Hi Aaron 🤗🤗 Good to see you again

[@TheHispanicJukeBox]

This is my scent of the day and oh my it smells wonderful and the longevity is great I sprayed this on about 5 hours ago and it's still projecting and I can still smell it very good....🔥💯

[@Narcissist_Police]

I would greatly enjoy sitting by a fire with a glass of wine and listen to you speak about fragrances. Love your channel sir, 👏

[@justadudeintheworldman.120]

I like hearing the notes because I can compare that with other fragrances I’ve had before or get a small idea. When someone says Iris I think of Dior Homme intense or Prada l’homme for example. It’s nothing compared to what you experience though due to working with the raw materials and it’s one of the reasons I watch these in-depth reviews

[@razvanyke]

Instant like, before even watching. Thanks for the post, my friend. Congrats on the 38K! Jubilation 25 is a true masterpiece, Bertrand did a good job.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s crazy 38k. I didn’t even notice. For 50k I have something magical planned

[@j2kjohnnyb]

Lyric is one of my favorites, but you’re right about it being an acquired taste, and definitely not for everyone. It’s one that the more you wear it and smell it the more it grows on you. Imitation Man is another unique Rose scent they from the house (Rose, Citron, Orris), and as usual with Amouage once you spray it on, it’s there until you scrub it off lol. What I like about Amouage is they have so many creations that are each so unique, that you’ll find some, or a lot that you can’t stand. But then you eventually find one that speaks to you, and when it does it REALLY speaks to you. The house in general because of this, really makes you think outside the box in what you look for in a fragrance I find.

[@j2kjohnnyb]

@@uriah777 Both are amazing, Lyric is like having a fresh cut rose in front of you. You can even smell the “stem” and leaves from galbanum giving it a green aspect to it.

[@iismellgood]

my eyes rolled back when I first smelled this, I love it, personal opinion *edit* people love "portrait of a lady", but I don't, that's the beauty of fragrance, something for everyone.

[@lulianovonp8784]

Thanks for the reweiv as always good information really enjoy ur videos! Would love to hear about oman luxury fragrances if u can get ur hands on one would be super! Have a nice day Aaron :)

jubilation superbowl 482xixiiiix smelling like an old antique chest with 1 smashed berry rotting in it. all my amouages just aren't cutting it for me sadly

[@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx]

@@rc121crx woah i smell like smooth silvery incensy complex AF with dry black currant that i love a lot. And it changes all over but it's a masterpiece to me

[@crazycatpetera1404]

You nailed it perfectly when you compared it to bubble Bath! I don’t know why, or what ingredients were used to create it like you do, but that’s exactly what I thought when I sampled it a few months ago. Well actually, it reminds me of washing up liquid, I found it very unpalatable and harsh . Amouage are naturally quite polarising anyway, I love Reflection & Jubilation but can’t stand Lyric, Dia Man or Beloved.

[@Str4vv]

The notes are quite important to get a picture. If it says "oud" for example, I don´t (need to) know whether it contains oud. But what I do know is that it contains something that the company thinks smells like oud to most people. And that I can use to get a sense of the fragrance.

[@danman3163]

I think the notes help you form a picture. And the more experience you gain, the clearer the picture becomes. If it says "oud, coffee, sandalwood, vanilla, patchouli... etc" then you might expect a certain smoothness and chocolate-vibe for example. And you might learn that vetiver can add a cleanness etc...

[@jetblack8250]

Hi Aaron, love your videos. Would love to see you review Encre Noire A le extreme. I know you were on the fence about the original scent so I’d love to see if this one wins you over. All the best!

[@kayleecutter8020]

Rose incense from this house is sublime.

[@galaxyone9222]

Great Videos! 🙏🏻

[@likeris2]

may favorite fragrance. its not for every one. I love it even more now. Thanks!

[@Amal_Lari]

You are entitled to your opinion with honesty. People need to grow up and don’t get sensitive on someone’s opinion on things, specially if the person is an adult. I love how you dismantle the composition of the fragrances. Can you do reviews on popular female fragrances? Can you review Fragrances Du Bois - Oud Jeune & Santal complet? 💜✨🌸

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I don’t review FDB I’m afraid.

[@sampotter4455]

Can I perceive the smell with your description - no! Not even close. But so relaxing and interesting to listen to!

[@bomberrossonero962]

Hello, first of all congratulations for your videos always very interesting and very useful. I wanted to ask you, since the “season” It's about to start.. would you make a video where you recommend some groom fragrances for such a solemn day and who will we remember for a lifetime? Thank you anyway for all the passion you put into each of your videos.

[@LawlessRaafay]

Number one chanel when it comes to fragrances.

[@RonRealTV]

ATH, speaking of Rose/Oud can you review Guerlain’s Santal Royal. I find it very complex, and long lasting with high quality ingredients. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. 🤙🏾

[@YokoKice]

Send the homie a sample

[@eaudeparfum-brasil682]

Great video Aaron! Please review Diptyque Oud Palao 😁 Cheers!

[@georgegeorgiou74]

The freshness is the lime offsetting the heavy rose. This is a great night out fragrance, especially in hotter climates. At first I wasn’t sure, but try it on for a night and see if your opinion changes.

[@tlizzle2123]

I love it

[@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx]

@@tlizzle2123 it's amazing too.

[@marcialsblendsfragrance2972]

I love your moving hands!!! Anytime we talk about you that is how we say your name we say it with the moving hands

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

That’s amazing. When people started talking about it I tried my best to hold them down. But I cannot do a review without it. If I can’t think of a compound tracing it out allows my brain to see it and then I can talk about it

[@deepthings4311]

I had a serious allergic reaction the first time I tested Tom ford’s oud wood last week, first time ever having a reaction to any perfume, any idea what could’ve caused it?

[@davec3568]

I just got this, I had some of the original Lyric Man and was running low. On initial application I was disappointed but it does get better. Not as good as the original, but still quite good. Also, I paid $130 USD for 100 mL which isn't a bad price.

[@Narcissist_Police]

I love this fragrance. I don’t get bubble bath one bit!

[@cheekster777]

Thanks Aaron

[@sergiovazquez8599]

Nothing like engaging my higher self by watching your reviews

[@bigvisk1125]

The notes help me sometimes and sometimes they dont. I usually just figure out if I like tbe smell or not :). But the notes can help me pick out what i may like in the scent

[@joshuajackson6338]

Hi Aaron, just found your channel, love your reviews, would love to know your thoughts on acqua di Parma colonia intensa, it’s a fragrance I personally love to wear.

[@feralzi8930]

Aaron please review Kalemat by Arabian Oud. I think you will love this and it would be really interesting to see your reaction!

[@abeljohnmkandawire3944]

Great review. Can you do some reviews on Xerjoff fragrances like Erba Pura and Naxos

[@BroskiTheGreat]

I rock this on dates with the Wife. I dig it bro. Try it again when you’re out going out in the evening.

[@shakiellwamba6499]

Hey Aaron im a big fan your brand, however was curious is there a reason you don't make 100ml bottles.?

[@Mejdej98]

Since rose and oud are your favourites, you should test Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir

[@Lecream1]

I have never purchase from you anything and i am curious about my first buy. let me keep it short, i want to cause an impression when i get there. What you recommend from your repertoire. A big hug and thanks in advance.

[@joaomnqoliveira]

Hi Aaron! I was just watching a video about making perfumes. Since you are really into the "teaching the viewer", would/could you share a list of raw materials and reliable places to buy from, based on your knowledge? (for beginners and beyond) Or even, some day, make a video about it. Share some of your train of thought (not used recipes), so that we can see a beginning to end (with the support of some company, possibly). Better even, a patreon? I'm sure you would have a lot of people interested in that! 🦄 (A master class with a kit to work with would also be awesome to start! I know you have more things to do... This are just some ideas 😅 sorry for the "avalanche of words" 🙇)

[@callmevil]

Lyric man is the only amouage I’ve tried that actually pissed me off. I mean love the scent of rose and watching other reviewers say it is very rosey etc and when I finally tried lyric man I felt lied to. It smells like a mess tbh.. Ahhh ill hold my pissy fingers till there.. love your review, on point as always! Thanksss

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Il be releasing my rose collection in 2022! I want them to be magical.

[@callmevil]

Aaron, you should try Radical Rose by Matiere Premiere. I think you would love it. Solid Rose. Intoxicating.

[@andreaspetrou9296]

One of my favorite houses and I really like this, but don't reach for it that often. However, Lyric Woman is a spicier, more masculine interpretation 🤷‍♂️

I would LOVE to hear your impression of Amouage Figment Man. I own it and it's NOT mass appealing but it's oddly interesting.

[@gabrielgallawa8205]

I have Figment as well. My only regret from the house.

[@bshannon67]

@@gabrielgallawa8205 it certainly is ... challenging!! I will say I think it's smelling a bit better now after about 6 months with the cap off more than on... although it could just be me acclimating to it. I love a well-blended civet but this is a bit much especially with the dirt accord and a powerful lemon that just smells off to me...

[@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx]

TKS Aaron for me it's gentleman fragance!!

[@Schatje79]

I have to agree with you. I sampled this and while I think it was put together very well, the scent itself just didn't do it for me. Coming from the house of Amouage, I was really hoping it would go in a more dirty or animalic direction.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Yes me to. Like a heavy ambroxan Middle Eastern rose.

[@MulhollandDr]

[@eddielara22]

You should review Andres Croxxato man

[@TheJofrica]

I noticed he overall seems to not like fresh ones or freshness. Seems to gravitate more towards the darker, wintery ones. I wonder if there are memories associated with that for this person or even a time period in which they used to wear fresh but then moved on from that period of life

If You give it a little bit of time to dry down with some heat it turns into something incredible and Highly complimented. This was before the reformulation.
