Perfumer Reviews 'Velvet Haze' by Byredo

[@izamalczykjewelry]

Love listening to your voice. It's always an added quality to your insightful and passionate reviews. I'm always so happy to see you've posted new content.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

thats very mind thank you

[@kg8487]

I think the same. The quality of Aaron’s voice sounds the way I imagine what smoking the finest tobacco would feel like.

[@rouzellecoetzee4890]

It makes me sad to hear about your encounters with the sales people at the store😿 Thank you for treating all people the same and for reviewing these fragrances🖤

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

it wasnt the best. I am sure it’s because I have tattooes and was dressed in trackies and a T-shirt and hoody. Im always to grateful for people spending money with me I go out my way to make there shopping experience wonderful

[@angelrose7451]

@@AaronTerenceHughes Very recognizable. If I'm just being comfortable, as in not dressed up and wearing make-up, the sales people often look suspicious at me; like what am I doing in the store? My 'dressed up with makeup' version gets a total different approach. Super shallow and ignorant of people! Sorry you had this experience.

[@AmbercoolPhotography]

This happens to me all the time at Sephora.

[@shivavereen7824]

I’m wishing you a more prosperous 2022. Your reviews give me a very mature compass with exploring and buying fragrances. Thank you.

[@Kuzhy811]

You're such a sweetie Aaron💖💖 I'm so sorry you had that shopping experience, her loss you're obviously such a pleasant soul to encounter. Thank you for another great review. It's always a pleasure 😘💖

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

thank you❤️🦄

Another great review Aaron , I don’t know this house , I can relate to the reaction of being ignored because of the way you look as I am disabled and a wheelchair user . The way I cope with this is direct eye contact with the person it helps sometimes it’s a shame some people have no manners you never judge a book by it’s cover .

[@wesnewman]

Thanks, Aaron! I like the Byredo house. Please review Bal d'Afrique and Accord Oud from the house. They have many great offerings but those are a couple I really enjoy.

[@farbrother123]

Sorry you had a bad sales experience, I've had them too, makes you feel insignificant and I can only imagine how it felt for someone with heightened sensory issues. Hope you get treated better next time . Great review, I love patchouli so will definitely try this one. ❤️🦄

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Wasn't the best to be honest. The shops are not set up for someone with Autism. So its a struggle straight away

[@zakhaddad5222]

I do really like this fragrance. You should try more from this house. Bal D'afrique is really nice.

[@scentitled]

Aaron I had a similar experience at the Byredo counter at the sacks store in NYC. The lady at the counter was chatting with three other employees when I walked up to the counter and she peeled herself away from her conversation to ask me if I needed help. I told her I wanted to try a fragrance (can't remember which one). The whole time she helped me with one scent she carried on a conversation with her coworker and immediately walked away after I tried one scent. Naturally, it made me feel bad and I walked away from the counter too. I felt like making a complaint but I'm too lazy to go through all the trouble.

[@shannondavidson1886]

So rude. I hate that.

[@Therese-qz5yq]

Great review, thank you! 💜 I love Velvet Haze. To me it has that perfect soft blend of musk and patchouli.

[@tenore8]

What a gentleman you are, Aaron. Thanks for making terrific content.

[@connorf4035]

Love the review! Byredo does some great fragrances, my favourite is black saffron, it's amazing!

[@deanramos2449]

Loove ur reviews…pls review Byredo’s Bal D’Afrique and Black Saffron pls..Thanks

[@okbruhh]

Please review Mojave Ghost and Bal Dafrique, both classic fragrances from the brand. I think you might like them.

[@EleaticStranger]

Patchouli is beautiful! I didn't know how much I love it til I sampled a few of your patchouli fragrances. The one with jasmine and patchouli is amazing.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

which one was that?

[@CRAIGR0B0]

Black Saffron & Oud Immortal are another two great fragrances from this house! You should review both when you get a chance, although they’re pricey for what they are.. I think you’re spot on £80-120 would seem value for money IMO

[@boogiedaddy3434]

Your story made me think of that part of Pretty Woman when Juila Roberts go to Rodeo Drive to buy a dress and the snotty lady wouldn't help her. Hate that people do that to one another, we're all just here living our lives the best we can.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

thats what I felt like!!!!! same clip went tgrough my mind

[@adelinamiller5667]

I love your fragrances and your videos. The only Byredo fragrance that made my heart skip was Pulp and I don't know why but when I smelled it I felt like the earth stopped spinning for a moment. I would love to hear your technical analysis of that perfume which might help me to understand why I was so affected by it.

[@chrismitsos6817]

Pulp is one of their most inventive..performance is amazing too. Very fruity without being sweet like so many fragrances out there. Very unique

[@shalealbao]

I feel this way with Bal D Afrique. I haven’t tried Pulp, thank you for the earth stopping description, I will give Pulp a try now, so curious.

[@dans4786]

One of your most fascinating reviews. Pls consider reviewing IA's the Cobra and The canary

[@adnishere8891]

Hey Aaron, you need to try Mojave Ghost from Byredo the same house, one of the most unique smells ever you will enjoy it. Also Accord oud is a delicious oud fragrance.

[@HimanshuSharma-rr4ct]

Aaron, great review as always. I will be trying Velvet Haze by Byredo the next time I go to the Mall. Thanks for introducing me to this fragrance. I own a couple of Byredo fragrances but I have never smelled Velvet Haze.

[@DaveBaldwin1]

I find it kind of ironic that people selling fragrances are looking down on the people who create them. Without people like you, these people wouldn't have that career and would be removed from their pedestal. Oh well. We can't change people. We can only be the people that we would love to encounter. Keep up the great work sir! I've been buying quite a few of your fragrances and am thoroughly impressed and look forward to trying others.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

i didnt think that actually What i did think was my job is to buy fragrance and review it. i give myself a budget a month for you tube. She was very off putting and i wont go near the brand in Selfridges again.!

[@abeyromero8250]

That's kind of how I feel about watching your videos. I love them but don't know why. Just kidding, I love your personality and honesty toward your craft. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope you have the best year ever this year.

[@jaysonshift4392]

I fukn love this scent ,smells unique, but you don't know quite why it makes you return to the area you sprayed with a smile 🙃😉😍Uplifting !!!!

[@HaitHam673]

Thank you for reviewing ❤ You should try black saffron from byredo.

[@rickscars7395]

Hello Aaron, brilliant review as always. I hope some day you review MFK Amyris Femme. It’s a luminous beautiful perfume that I get amberwood, freesia, and anise from its scent but nothing that they list on their marketing list of notes. Thank you in advance 😉

[@robusto7735]

Byredo!! Excellent house! I have Accord Oud and Bal d'Afrique......have yet to try Velvet Haze. Excellent video as always!!

[@chrisfairbarn9908]

Byredo generally has performance issues, interested in this review.

[@goldenshadow7691]

I get treated like that at Saks and Neiman Marcus and sometimes at Nordstroms specifically in the fragrance dept. I think maybe I look poor and I always think who are they, sales people to mistreat me because they think I’m poor? Lol! I have met some very wealthy folks and they treat me so much better than the sales people at dept stores lol!

Thats so confusing to me. If i sold fragrances or exotic cars, its my job to be the face of the brand and welcome people and make sales. Ignoring people because of appearance would limit my sales.

Damn! What you experienced is basically what black men experience in America on a daily basis. It sucks, don't it? Welcome to my life.

[@fleetingfootnotes9133]

The more video's you make, the more you put yourself out there. Eventually it becomes inevitable someone will recognize you. I think it's pretty disrespectful to draw attention to a person at that time. There's little respect for introverted people. As for the fragrance, I wonder if you have ever tried Margiela's Jazz Club?

[@terrysmiles8599]

Why???What's wrong with the way you look Aaron? Only thing Literally the Only thing they Might bring up is your Tattoos! But Tattoos do not tell a person how that individual is!!!!

[@JoinTheProgress]

Aaron...since you're introverted, are you _sure_ that the way you interpreted that situation was correct? It was your experience, so you could of course read it better than I could, but based on what you're saying, maybe the people simply recognized you and shared it amongst themselves, with no intent to be rude. I think today what you experienced, based on the tatts or whatever, is _fairly_ rare, at least it is in my area of western New York. If it was what you interpreted, sorry you had to deal with it; the vast majority of people are accepting of others. And just to get this out there, I lean fairly hard right politically, and I know I speak on behalf of every righty I know as well (that we accept people readily), as desperate as the left is to always paint us otherwise. In that sense, actually not too far removed from what you experienced, we experience as a group. Getting close to 50k subs...been with ya since under 2,000...cheers! OH P.S.!...SPEAKING OF the above...I will leave you a short story soon of holiday shopping last month, meeting a stranger, and we discussed youtube; he as familiar with your content as I am. And he likes you as much as I do. ;)
