This was very interesting, more of this!
"Nothing wrong with cheap!" - Proceeds to be disgusted with all of them. lol
Alex T 🤣🤣🤣
They were all cheap cheapies
They extra cheap
@@violater7026 there are also good cheap cheapies like Zara 9.0 or Guess 1981 Los Angeles
Well, most of them are bottom tier Made in the USA straight up chemical trash.
This is the Gordon Ramsey of scents lol
Haha yes!
Not really. Gordon Ramsay is accomplished and hilarious.
or the simon cowell
“What is this shit?”
Simon Cowell!
More of this guy please he is so honest its hilarious
The sniff test is skewed from the start because he has already been advised that these are cheap fragrances.
This did occur to me after the fact. Next time I won't mention what type of fragrances they are.
@@FRAGMENTAL Their also seems to be a widespread notion that the same fragrance smells better on certain people than others. I wonder if there has ever been a blind sniff test for this phenomenon to see if there is any truth to it? Some people report getting "lots of compliments" when they go out and wear fragrances, whereas some people never get compliments.
@@JesusChrist5000 Yes everyone has a different skin chemistry which react in different ways with the aroma chemicals.
@@FRAGMENTAL This is just my theory but I think it has more to do with someone's general aura and energy pattern than their skin chemistry. Because alot of people wear fragrance on their clothes or hair, and not on their skin
JesusChrist5000 yes not to mention diet and your body’s ph
Should play "niche or designer"
Really like this idea. Would be really interesting to get Aaron to blind test some popular hyped better quality frags and some niche ones to.
That is a great idea.
Great idea!!!
We want this vid... pls mk it happen for us
He's great!! Bring him back again!! This time to rate Tom Ford, Guerlain, Dior and other great ones.
This!
He does have his own channel n does some review
The nose can be a complex thing especially for a perfumer.
What a great video! I am amazed at how this perfumer's nose picks up chemicals so quickly, and can even tell which fragrances are probably going to last/project, and how much of a synthetic note is put on top of a tiny quantity of natural ingredients (if any). One of the best fragrance videos I've watched, honestly.
I hope you bring him back! :)
Yes we have more planned!
This is the most interesting idea for a vid that I have seen in a very long time. Great idea and would love to see more perfumers talk about designers.
Thanks Jay👍🏻
It's one thing to be a collector but it's another thing to a professional in the business breaking down fragrances. I would love to see and hear more of the industry professionals do videos like this! Thumbs up.
I love that you added zaras RWA i found it in store by accident and fell in love with it. I find the projection actually lasts a good 4-6 hours on my skin and for a 20$ fragrance it is a gem. Great video!
Phenomenal post. Really enjoyed the dialogue and interaction from an experienced fragrance creator.
This and the later one with Aaron have been the best fragrance videos i've seen on TH-cam.
Oh cheers 👍🏻
Thanks guys, I really enjoyed this video. Would love to see you both do a similar video, but with niche frags.
Yes great idea👍🏻
At 11:25, did he really ask why people would by a cheap clone rather than the real black orchid? The answer is obvious aint it?
A lot of perfumers don't buy fragrances retail. They buy a lot of testers, decants, and pre-owned. You can get pre-owned Tom Ford on Ebay for a good deal if you look regularly. So I don't think Aaron was suggesting the retail price of Tom Ford.
Izzat Irfan I wouldn’t wear Black Orchid if it was given to me. Every other woman that I pass in the street is wearing it here this winter. I’ve been so put off by the saturation that it now repulses me. 🤮
@@alimaalikhan I layer mine with another scent and don't over do it.
dabarefootbombshell yes, layering something on it would make it more interesting. LVEB was like that too: everywhere, all the time, on everyone! Not everyone has a clue how to layer though. 😊
It is shocking that someone would genuinely question why some people cannot afford to spend $100 on a fragrance.
OMD Chris! Fantastic video! I’m a fan of some of Aaron’s work and get what he means about the chemical smell of some of the perfumes you presented to him!
Great teamwork! Thanks again for your great content.
Omg Aaron is brilliant! I’d love to see him sniff a selection of different price ranges to see if he rates the more expensive offerings more highly.
Yes I was very entertained by his reactions! Thanks Claire!
ooo Claire he really annoyed me ha …. Brilliant like a 100 watt bulb you wouldnt want it in your house! ;}
That’s a great idea.
Awesome idea, I wonder how he would've rated cheapies that smell expensive like Bentley for men intense for example 😁
Seriously adore these videos! So entertaining! Thanks for putting this together 🙏
I love how your recent videos with ATH have become your most viewed ones in no time - way to go!
Absolutely loved this one, Chris! ATH is a blast, what a great addition to your vid haul!!
Thank you!
Love Aaron’s input. Interesting perspective. Pretty sure Zara R/W/A is still readily available onlin
Aaron is one cool dude who certainly knows his onions when it comes to fragrances. I doff my cap to him. Excellent video Chris.
Hey FM I just recently discovered your channel. I have been watching fragnance videos on TH-cam for well over a year now and I have to say your videos are great. Keep doing what you do bud.
I love and appreciate his honesty, no sugarcoating 😂
Always great watching Aaron
One of the best videos I’ve seen on fragrances. Your guest is brilliant. Peace
Woooow I didn't expect that reaction to Rochas Man! Demi, George and Jeremy all rate that fragrance as a nice pleasant smelling one!
Doesnt say much, Jeremy hypes alot of subpar frags
Frag-mental’s channel is the best tv show for a Sunday morning! Keep it up!
Aaron's insight into fragrances is wonderful!
THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO that I've seen. Would ABSOLUTELY LOVE ♥️ to see him review all the major designers, his nose is amazing!!! I want to try his scents, he needs to get a distributor in the USA🇺🇸
What a great video idea! Aaron obviously knows his stuff (as you do, Chris). I wish my nose were half as matured as his. Would love to see more vids like these. Some niche, some designer. Thanks!!
Please do a part 2, this is great!
This guy is great, definitely would like to see more videos with him
I'm planning on it! 😁
Love this video and love Aaron...I really appreciate honesty in fragrance reviews. I plan on ordering his Discovery Box as a Christmas present for myself! More Aaron, please! You two are great together.
christmas is over, whats the verdict?
@@canislupus2661 Aaron stopped shipping to North America before I could order it! Hopefully it sounds like he might be starting up again soon.
What a fun video!! Thank you so much!!
Really cool. Great idea Chris. To have someone with such an advanced nose and knowledge plus a chemistry background smell those cheapies. It's like he just smelled the chemical compounds in them they weren't even fragrances for him lol. Really enjoyed it. I hope to see his fragrances in the U.S. Thanks.
- Colin
That was fun! Love Aaron!!
Rich warm addictive is amazing!! it's one of my favs and i have smelled a lot of niche and designers.
It's awesome. The longevity is great on me. 👌
I got a bottle of CK1 Shock from Santa, I think it’s an absolute banger! Really like it and had a fair few compliments wearing it so far.
Yeh I really enjoy it
i do have a bottle, but aaron tell the truth that the fragrance doesn long lasting and i aggree
nice content fragmental
Agreed, it’s great to get a perfumers take on popular ones. Get him back on
As always, amazing video. From the content to the scenery.
Thanks!
Quite informative. Amazing how he knew the longevity by first smell
This was a really fun concept! Great watch!
This was much fun and interesting actually, You should definitely do more videos with him, Next video should be niche and cheapies
I love this guys honesty and sheer knowledge all without coming across as pretentious. Can we more videos with Aaron, the please?!??
He has his own channel
Love the honesty. Chris hope you are enjoying NYC . Safe travels bro!✌
Cheers Tim!
Really enjoyed this video. Great concept!
Very interesting! Haven't seen this kind of video before. Hopefully we can see him again
Great content. Loved these two videos.
Aaron is a treat and then some. I don’t think he was rude or disrespectful but genuinely and somewhat brutally honest.
I’d love to see him again on your channel with other genres like niches and clones. I secretly pray he tears PV apart 😊
Great idea and well done video Chris.
Yes his brutal honesty is refreshing!
awesome video, enjoyed his perspective
Really interesting video Chris. Really enjoyed it
I love how Aaron called CK One Shock both "alright" and "awful".
I LOVE Aaron's approach to deciphering fragrances! I really learn a lot from this. Please do more videos with him, Chris!
Good stuff, you should get him more on the channel. Quite funny in his own way
I love that guy!!! He's totally clarifying everything I thought about the state of fragrances these days... cheap made, generic with safe (awfull) performance... and it isn't just the cheapies.
Nothing but Tonka bean, pachouli, bergamot and ambroxan in most designer releases.
Patchouli was done right in Dolce & Gabbana K and most fragrances as of late but I am with you on Tonka bean and ambroxan
Iv definitely learned so much in this one vid !!
Loved his expertise and these cheapies usually are not great in quality for sure. No escaping that
Great video, as others have said, would be interested to get this thoughts on niche fragrances but then I expect he doesn’t want to upset anybody!!
Loved this 🙂 a bit like taking Raymond Blanc to McDonald's lol. Been trying a few samples of Aaron's fantastic work and yesterday tried the Jasmine Amber Rose which he said is now Goddess, after smelling that I can understand how hard this video was for him lol. Its heaven in a bottle and this guy knows how to do chocolate 😍 sayin that ill always love my super synthetic fragrances, especially the loud 90s ones 🙄🙊 lol
Hey fella, this is a cracking bit of content. ATH is a natural in front of camera and a fab perfumer to boot. Love the idea of having a nose sniff frags blind, i'd love to see a vid with ATH and/or another Nose smelling a mix of frags, literally everything from Roja Dove to PP clones. Any chance of doing one like that?
9.36 !!!!! really love this video because of total sincere feelings ... i´m the same type of ...
and there were many times that i believed to all of the blind buys because of youtube hype reviews ... and was many times more than disappointed (glad i only had rochas sample ... very syrupy synthetic, overly sweet headache smell)
As I said before, I do like Aaron, totally down to earth guy, love his face when he is smelling them lol
Interesting content, I really enjoyed it!
Definitely going to buy some of Aaron’s stuff after watching all of these.
I love the honesty!🤙👍🤘
Good idea quite entertaining.. As others said it would be nice to see him rating more expensive frags..
Fantastic ! Amazing idea for a video, well done.
This video is gold. Great idea!
I would love to sit and discuss fragrance with Aaron, I would have so many questions about the science in perfumery and how he uses his creativity to make his fragrances.
Nicely done...great content!
Great collab!
Great video Chris! Seeing him react to these cheaper fragrances was priceless! lol I actually dig the Zara.
RWA is lovely. CK One Shock is without doubt synthetic but it smells nice to my basic nose. Although I've smelt some horrible chemicals while working in a lab....
@@EverymanFragrances I know a lot of people love Shock, but I really can't stand it. I bought a bottle, sprayed it once, and then took it right back to the store. Fragrances are so subjective, and I don't put anyone down for liking something. 🍻
@@danspanos can you take a frag back after spraying it?! You certainly can't do that in the UK.
@@EverymanFragrances Only one store let's you do that here, and it isn't an actual fragrance store. It's called TJ Maxx! They don't care what you return... They just slap another tag on it and put it back on the shelf! We also have a store called Ulta that will let you return it for store credit so you can buy another fragrance from them.
The 90s yuppie 😂😂😂😂 Brilliant! I had the same first impression on paper. Dreadful stuff. But after 30 minutes on skin.....bang. Would love to get your impressions of Unexpected Fresh Spicy from Zara Chris.
These are so much fun! I however love my CK Shock...
The Zara one is an amazing gem given its price!
Cool video Chris, really interesting on his thoughts. I wonder if it was lynx Africa he was smelling lol.-Nik
i love this video. I love to hear the opion or review of a perfumer. He tells it like it is, not thats refreshing.
he is right with the ck one shock i bought it when i was just getting into fragrances, it lasts about an hour on my skin lol. gave it to my dad he is happy with it ..
great video! interesting to hear a perfumers vision on these. I would have put a parfums de marly or amouage in the list. I only own the zara one out of this list.
This needed to have some curveballs in it. But something tells me he wouldn't handle that very well.
I really want to know wat are some of the ones he really likes, that would be pretty awesome 👍🏼
I had so much fun just watching his reaction 😂
However this video makes me realize how much I need to learn from the pro.
Great idea. Aaron is obviously such a sport.
He is. Great guy.
Yassss I’m loving this content!!!!!
Interesting, I do believe you didn't expected his reactions would be so fierce, still it was honest. And that's what we like. Objectivity!
This was great viewing. Ripping the cheapies to bits 😂😂. I agree on CK Shock, hate that trash.
You have a strange nose, i have many fragrance, but ck shock givs me so much compliments....
@@andy-qj9eh it's not for me. It's good others can enjoy it as it's very inexpensive.
First vid I watched of yours. Subscribed! Really enjoyable he is a nice guy
Aaron is a lovely guy. He will be back on my channel soon!
Oud 24hrs is actually a beast for compliments does not have the beautiful dry down of black orchid it has a different drydown altogether but the mid and top (slightly) is close to TF BO
What an excellent video idea, really enjoyed. Subscribed!
Welcome!
This video was an excellent idea. Please make a similar video with Aaron blind rating popular fragrances. Thanks.
Yes great idea👍🏻
I would have loved to hear a few of his cheap ideas for fragrances.
Great , great video. Congrats. 👍🏼👍🏼
Cheap fragrances are the reason why frag game is still interesting 😍
He never identified a single accord or note .. Everything including notes was fed to him my Chris.
Love the setting
Great idea for a video...enjoyed it ... different content from the norm....👍
