I buy my fragrances based your reviews because I don't have time to go to the stores smelling everything. I trust your knowledge and expertise, and it's greatly appreciated.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thank you

[@dard4642]

I don't know how people go out and shop for fragrance. After I smell three different ones, no amount of coffee bean can bring my nose back home. My nose's ability to discern individual qualities is done for the day.

[@thewoat6589]

Why not buy small samples?

[@garthwright6308]

@@thewoat6589 buying samples isn't worth it to me. It adds up when you spend $100 to buy four samples at $25 a piece. Chances are, it' might not be enough juice for me to come to love and appreciate the fragrance.

[@thewoat6589]

Garth Wright buying a small $4 sample of a frag aaron highly recommends sounds like a much better idea than buying it blindly...to me at least lol

I love how although you are a perfumer with your own brand you are still so honest and praise other brands work and products and still encourage people to try them Great review as always 🙌🦄

[@loski8402]

One of my favorites from the house! It leaves an incredible scent trail! Thanks for giving us your take on this masterpiece!

[@krokanen]

Thank you Aaron for a great review! I have been very interested in this one and you made things much easier for me!

[@dannyboy9193]

I just got this today and had to rewatch it and man I got the same reactions as you. It’s just heavenly and gorgeous. Such a beautiful fragrance. Never smelled anything this beautiful. It’s sophisticated and elegant but can be worn everyday.

[@martysnarf]

What a review!!! This is a standout from Initio for me as well; it is so nice to hear how much you enjoy it too. All of their stuff is very good IMHO, but this one seems to stand high above for me as well. Thank you for doing this one, Aaron!

[@dinfinity85]

Hands down to one of the best perfume reviewer. Watched your video few days before. I just got the perfume and guess what? I get the tingling sensation as well. This perfume gives me goosebumps. It's complex, it's dark, and I just loves it.

[@mariaanastasia8333]

Amazing review!! I also love this fragrance, the dry down is intoxicating!!!

[@saibot_201]

i've watched this exact video at least 4 times now and this is the first time after i've bought it and put it on my hand for your video. i just can't get over how perfect it's done, exactely like you said, not too boozy, not too woody, not too sweet, perfectly balanced. I'm just in awe and am soo happy that I've bought it!

[@degeneratechris]

So glad to know your most recent upload is the very fragrance I'm wearing. I get to smell it along with you and hear you describe it, really puts it together. I've grown to love this fragrance.

[@SocaScents]

Literally my FAVORITE scent! Thank you for the review

[@alajlub]

Aaron you the man! I went out and bought Side Effect because of your review. Hands down one of the most beautiful scents I’ve ever smelled. You my go to guy for frag reviews from now on and I can’t wait to get my hands on your own fragrances. Cheers my friend and stay safe!

[@alexsalvara9958]

Wow. The last time I heard the tingling from you was with the perfume Pardon 'nasomato'. I heard a lot about side effects but I now, after that I heard you, I would buy side effects immediately if I could afford it now. Thank you so much Aaron, it is always such a wonderful pleasure and amazing feeling watching you talking about perfume. It's like you want to share your art with people around you, to bring that art into us and to make us become an artist as well. If anyone is reading about my feedback, I want to say, this is the beauty of an real artist. Creativity and sharing. It's 2 simple words but, you need to dig inside of your heart to find the meaning. It's beautiful. May all the beautiful energy of the universe bless you all . ❤️🌻🌞

[@ritayoung4752]

Beautiful review Aaron!!! Thank you so much for the artistic expression. 💜💜 This one has been on my radar. Much love as always.

Glad you love this. Initio make some superb stuff.

What a timely review. You just popped up on my feed for the first time. I picked this up about 2 weeks ago and can't stop wearing it. It is my first purchase from the house. I planned to get Oud for Greatness but sniffed this and had to get it. I think Oud for Greatness is next though. I have quite a few on my list but I'm loving this one.Glad to have found your channel. Great video.

Thanks mate I was looking for these kinda reviews from U before buying it, cheers !

[@MrLyricJunkie]

I’ve always called this fragrances “Sex in a bottle”.. I know you keep saying sensual but yes this is so freaking amazing it’s unreal. Herod, Side Effect, and Angels Share. It’s nothing like those 3 fragrances. Great review. 👍🏾

[@MoreTrenMoreMen69]

@@ManicMindTrick When I smelled a sample it just instantly smelled like my grandma's house (she smokes cigarettes in the house so it kinda makes sense since tobacco is a primary note in herod). Like I'm talking near identical to my grandma's house. I plan to retry with a bigger sample in hopes of my nose adjusting to the smell and finding what's so good about it. I have bottles of Absolute Aphrodisiac and Side Effect and those two INSTANTLY get me in certain moods (cuddly and sensual with AA, invigorated and ready to party with SE)

[@nighthemX]

Side Effect > Herod > Angels Share

[@FernandoPena-st9to]

Hot take: Herod would be the next Dior Sauvage if it lasted longer. @@nighthemX

[@Mr.Whiffy]

Thank you Aaron for your reviews. I have learned so much from you over time. Side Effect is one of my favorites. It is utterly beautiful and has an amazing long lasting combo of scents. Initio is one of my most coveted houses. They as well as Parfums De Marly simply do amazing scents. Please keep up doing your reviews. I am always learning from your knowledge (especially the sit down ones where you teach us regulatory items or the process of development), as well as just how you go about dissecting each new scent. It may sound cheesy, but if I own the perfume, I actually spray with you and try to smell and learn with each episode. Thank you again !!!

[@AbdulAzizAlkendi]

How much projection on side effect?

[@achimgeist5185]

WOW... what a review from Initio Side Effect, it's a absolutely fantastic fragrance and your excitement is so Intense it gives me goosebumps...

[@victoraranedad1885]

I've had a bottle of this one for about 2 years now. I fell in love with it at a shop in Budapest. Unfortunately I hardly wear it. There's something in the drydown that I don't like. It doesn't evolve much on skin either.
