I love listening to you talk chemistry!! Even when I don't understand you this is so relaxing for me. How love how you organized the construction of it:) I hope you are well Aaron!
Never stop making these videos aaron. I love watching them more than most videos on TH-cam. I like to binge watch loads of them. Your knowledge is unlike anyone in this space. Keep the amazing work and your fragrances which are amazing
This is my favorite from the Invictus lineup. Reminds me of a Fruit Roll-Up or fruit leather or gummies. Only thing is that bottle format is hard to decant
Hi Aaron, I'd recommend checking out Mont Blanc's Legend Spirit which smells like Invictus with the sweetness or Mont Blanc Legend EDP which is like Abercrombie and Fitch's Fierce and a smoother and more well rounded version of their Legend EDT. Your videos are more like art pieces than reviews sometimes haha
Invictus Platinum is the one that got me into this crazy hobby of ours. My young nephew got it as an Xmas gift last year and gave me a whiff and I was instantly hooked. Now with a little more experience I can place it into perspective. It's fresh and sweet as is the entire Invictus line. People like that style of cologne and people like wearing that style. It's designed to be pleasing and easy to wear and it is. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. It may not be to everyone's liking, but then again neither are oud, woody, gourmand, spicy or fougere style colognes and those sell like crazy too. There are better colognes than it out there and there are much worse ones too. I think your comments and your score for Platinum are more than fair. I like it overall and think it's a quality product, but it's perfectly fine if it's not someone's cup of tea.
I think this smells fantastic once you let it soak in, mixed with a bit of sweat. After a couple hours the smell is fantastic, fresh and crisp. Very clean and “sexy” smell.
Maby im brain damage from all the drugs in my life but i have allways loved these fragrance for the younger ones;) Love your professional view in every video!
Honestly, I’m a younger guy and I do not like super sweet fragrances like companies try to market to people my age. I love more mature stuff like oud and tobacco
I am 21 and my taste in perfumery is quite eloquent, in my opinion. There are really view people of my age group who love Fougeres and classic French perfumery like YSL Kouros, Chanel Egoiste..., I got really bored by these sort of modern linear and clean perfumes, but of course I also use to wear them too, because they are very functional and versatile.
I throw out majority of my perfume boxes, but I just went to quickly look at a picture on the website for a niche company that's extremely popular, and my jaw dropped... nothing on the box. Thank you
There is a few large houses with no external information. This is important for your insurance and to make sure the perfume or cosmetic is safe. Some compounds are toxic at high doses but safe at lower doses. If the product hasnt undergone safety testing then they cant sell legally!
So this is one I just picked up a couple of weeks ago. To me, it smells more tart, than sweet. It's a little "sharp" or "tangy." I like it, but I don't love it. It lasts awhile though. It's a good performer!!
I checked out as soon as I heard the word cheap whipping through the base about 3 times before your first spray. High fructose corn syrupy sweet isn’t for me 🤣🤣🤣 … no shade on the fragrance that’s just where my brain went
These are the only reviews on fragrances I watch on TH-cam now, we definitely have a different preference for what we like for sure, but I love the honesty and descriptions on how the scent is built and works. I'd hate to be a family member thinking of buying Aaron a fragrance as a birthday or Christmas gift though. 😂
hawas opens with a burst of bubblegummy fruit but it dries down in 30 seconds, the drydown is thick, dense and comes across generic, similar to a&f fierce. I wouldn't wear hawas to the gym or close quarter environments. invictus platinum opens sweet and minty stays linear thru the drydown. platinum is more versatile and has a better scent profile imo
Dear aaron, your fragrances seem like they would be excactly my style, i would love to try and sample all of them but im still rather young and cant afford that :) would you ever consider putting together a 2ml discovery set?
@@MoahGentleI bought ambroxan, hedione, heliotropex and timbersilk, (more concentrated version of iso e super) and mixed them all together for the superpower aromachemical blast😅
@@profound369 maybe not the current formulation (EDT), but the first batch, that stuff would make me nauseous, and it really sucked cus I loved the way that it smelled but the ambroxan was too much
I love your videos, and appreciate what your're doing. It's unheard of. Your opinion on Electimus Gladiator Oud would be well received since your work is so thorough in that regard. I have been on the fence between it. I will buy yours first regardless. Just got in slut and supernova today. 5 total ATH so far. Proud of each one. So far Ozone is my favorite. Its sitting in the front of the shelf. Thats because it does what I want for where I am. In another lifetime and career , im sure i would change that.
Cheap and smells accordingly. I got it as a gift and I’ve worn it a few times. Wife hates it. 20 yr old daughter loves it. Says it all. It’s a good first fragrance or to give a kid or young man as a gift. It’s nauseatingly sweet, but kids like that. Marketed well and cheaply made. Wise business model, average fragrance.
Wanna try making my own fragrance. I have something specific in mind, but dont wanna buy materials that wont go well together. Do you think raspberry mixes well with pink pepper?
You should get a sample of Adonis Awakens from Argos. Pink pepper, raspberry and rose. I bought another fragrance from them and got a free sample of Adonis and when sprayed it on my wrist I literally got goosebumps from the smell.
I'm not sure if you referenced the term 'Oriental' in this video, but the following is my understanding. Items from eastern Asian countries are referred to as "Oriental' and people are called "Asian". This has been the case for years - I believe it is perfectly fine to call perfume that falls into the Oriental style as "Oriental". I don't know of any Asian people (and I know quite a few), who are offended by this or by using the term 'Oriental' to describe furniture, rugs, artwork etc. Love your videos! Take care, Ginny 😘😘😘
As a woman, I always prefer a woody, spicy scent over anything sweet, even on myself. Everything else smells juvenile to me at my age. And I'm so glad I found you so early, because I don't have a single box without the inkey list. 🥰 Love your videos, so relaxing. I always say your intro and outro with you, and the ethyl maltol hand whipping. Hope you have a beautiful week! 🥰🥰
Sweet frags are Tacky in my opinion, sweetness in frags is fine but when the overall scent is sweet it’s not good when your in your 40s - I stay natural 💯 PS That bottle looks like Cheap Door stop
that 25 year old mark might be true but comes partly from a lack of research on adult neurogenesis, the brain develops your whole life and adult neurogenesis research is new and uncharted 🤓
I just love these reviews. Aaron is like watching Mozart review music. Keep it up Aaron!

Compliments on this one are insane
True
Ditto
Same.. never had more compliments on a cologne and I’ve worn much more popular colognes (Blue De Chanel, Versace Eros, & Dior Sauvage)
@@JakeOvgardhow many sprays do you use?
Just got mine today and smelling it gave me quiet an uplift, mainly because of its sexy ness I love it
This is my favorite from the Invictus lineup. Reminds me of a Fruit Roll-Up or fruit leather or gummies. Only thing is that bottle format is hard to decant
The amount of unsolicited compliments I get when wearing this is insane, I'm a young at heart late 50's perfume addict.......
People really do love it. I’m in my 20’s and get a compliment almost everytime I wear it
FINALLY ETHYL MALTOL WHIPPING ME
Ethyl Maltol whipping through the base🦄🦄

Thanx Aaron, great review brother. Blessings.

Please review The Blazing Mr Sam by Penhaligon!
I have to admit, I really like my 2016 Invictus Aqua. (waaaaay older than 30 😉) Thanks for another great review.
Maby im brain damage from all the drugs in my life but i have allways loved these fragrance for the younger ones;)
Love your professional view in every video!
Damn I think you overshared a bit. Hope you allright my guy
@@forgot2840 nothing wrong with being real👍
Honestly, I’m a younger guy and I do not like super sweet fragrances like companies try to market to people my age. I love more mature stuff like oud and tobacco
Please test the new Gaultier Le Male Elixir 😍 It's a masterpiece 😍
Yes
That review is coming soon.
It is gorgeous 😍
Invictus platinum is great

Can’t relate I keep most boxes from everything I buy.
Tho I will throw out tester boxes bcse I got the cologne for cheap.
Wonder if the info was on the bottom of the box.
@@RichardOliver that's a good point, I'll make the effort to drive out t a store and look at it myself and look at the bottom

@@AaronTerenceHughes thank you Aaron!💫
Good honest review and your right I'm not drawn to this I'm 49 and this is a good young lads scent that will get them noticed by the girls at college
Please make a review of Aqua di Parma oud its extremely underrated!!!!
Great Review! I would like to see you review H24 EDP. I really like that fragrance over the EDT version.
So this is one I just picked up a couple of weeks ago. To me, it smells more tart, than sweet. It's a little "sharp" or "tangy." I like it, but I don't love it. It lasts awhile though. It's a good performer!!
I can listen to your voice for days...❤so soothing.
Amazing review as always! I would love for you to review Parfums de Marley Haltane said to be a very nice oud
Hey Aaron! Great vid!
Do you remember maybe what type of lavender the original Luna Rossa has? I believe you spoke about it earlier. Thanks
YES! The Ethyl Maltol whipping through the base!😂
I just bought Invictus Elixir, which I love, but I thought the same thing about the cheap feeling bottle
I checked out as soon as I heard the word cheap whipping through the base about 3 times before your first spray. High fructose corn syrupy sweet isn’t for me 🤣🤣🤣 … no shade on the fragrance that’s just where my brain went
Stay with the original - which is just a nice fresh scent 💯
Smelling of synthetic sweetness is 🤢
Yeah man I agree I'm not a fan of all this sugary stuff either.
These are the only reviews on fragrances I watch on TH-cam now, we definitely have a different preference for what we like for sure, but I love the honesty and descriptions on how the scent is built and works. I'd hate to be a family member thinking of buying Aaron a fragrance as a birthday or Christmas gift though. 😂
Can't imagine his thoughts upon receiving a bottle of Sauvage from a loved one 💀
How is the sillage and performance?
My Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche from Chanel directly does not have an "inky" label. 🤔
Hi Aaron, regarding with the box details. Are companies also required to indicate all the details even though the box is a tester one?
Do you have a sample kit of your fragrances?
I’m gonna start wearing this. hopefully I get a lot of compliments
Any updates?
@@EmmettRiley yes it’s literally my go to fragrance. My signature scent that lasts all day
I’m all about lily of the valley raw materials and Spanish lavender.
Pls do review Invictus victory “elixir”
You should review “Ambrosia Imperiale” by Navitus. I’m dying to see more reviews, not sure if you like or dislike gourmands, but it seems very unique!
Anyone know where to get real Oud oil? I’m in America and it’s like seeing a unicorn!
Love the videos mate such a lovely guy 🦄
Can u please do invictis victory elixir
How does this compare to Rasasi Hawas for those who have both
If a person has both of them then they should already know how it compares lol

"....a vomit-inducing chemical sludge." I had to laugh.
Some aromachemicals definitely can be nauseating, both ambroxan and iso e super has such an effect on me (in big dose).
@@MoahGentleI bought ambroxan, hedione, heliotropex and timbersilk, (more concentrated version of iso e super) and mixed them all together for the superpower aromachemical blast😅
Ambroxan can definitely make my face go pale in high amounts, weirdly Sauvage doesn't cause that, despite being a mountain of Ambroxan
@@WildWildWeasel he said in another video it doesn't actually contain that much ambroxan
@@profound369 maybe not the current formulation (EDT), but the first batch, that stuff would make me nauseous, and it really sucked cus I loved the way that it smelled but the ambroxan was too much

Please Aaron make a Review on Initio - Blessed Baraka😊
Greetings from Hamburg
The Pontiff of Perfumery AKA ATH not holding back. Love it 😍
Please review Prada luna rossa black 😊
He already reviewed that one
what a breakdown ...bloody hell
I hope you test Amouroud Lunar Vetiver ill comment until you review it hahahaha
Thank you Aaron.
This reminds me of PDM Kalan and Bad Boy Cobalt

The fragrance your talking about is the paco rabban robot flanker isnt it? 😂
Phantom
@@christopherbird2739 lol yeah I know Aaron calls it "the robot" tho
Sweet…. Sweet… sweet… enough said. 😂
Well shit I just got Invictus and I'm 37 now I feel immature 😢
There’s no age limit on fragrances bro
I just said to myself... if you mark this above 7/10 all that you said up until now makes no sense. And then you did ❤
Day 4 of asking Aaron to review Valentino Uomo Intense
Wanna try making my own fragrance. I have something specific in mind, but dont wanna buy materials that wont go well together. Do you think raspberry mixes well with pink pepper?
get them and try!
You should get a sample of Adonis Awakens from Argos. Pink pepper, raspberry and rose. I bought another fragrance from them and got a free sample of Adonis and when sprayed it on my wrist I literally got goosebumps from the smell.

Thank you for watching!! 🦄🦄🦄🦄
Sweet frags are Tacky in my opinion, sweetness in frags is fine but when the overall scent is sweet it’s not good when your in your 40s - I stay natural 💯
PS That bottle looks like Cheap Door stop
You NEED to get ur nose on Bade'e Al Oud Amethyst Lattafa!!!!
It has similarities to atomic rose and side effect.
you are an oasis in everyday life
that 25 year old mark might be true but comes partly from a lack of research on adult neurogenesis, the brain develops your whole life and adult neurogenesis research is new and uncharted 🤓
When the ignorant masses smell obnoxiously frags they give compliments......
Very synthetic
1st!
Ethylmaltol is everywhere here, whipping in my face 😁. I love your reviews so much. Thank you as always for all of your work, Aaron!
I hate this fragrance, it is too sharp for me. Long lasting though.
This was a major disappointment
Younger women love these kinds of scents. End of story. It's why I enjoy them.
Hey Aaron, I would love to try some of your fragrances, is there a way to get them here in Florida in the U.S.?
Maxaroma or fragranceUSA can help you!
