The way he said I will upset and trigger loads of people straight away when he smelt the Creed Aventus made me think he knew already which perfume was it.
@@HellGod67 @HellGod67 I am not even a fan of creed fragrances besides Millésime Impérial, he just seems to hate everything that doesn't smell like fecal.
@@blackcat6508 you got a point, he's just got that too subjective, personal taste. Sometimes you need to admit a fragrance is good by its quality, altho it doesn't belong to your personal taste.
As a person who’s just starting to take interest in fragrances, it’s so interesting to see passionate fragrance heads react distastefully to fragrances they’re bored of. I’ve often heard, everybody smells of this, everybody smells this 3 times a day, it’s boring... when reality is, the vast majority of people don’t wear fragrances. Dont know Creed Aventus or Bleu de Chanel etc... there’s actually a pretty small portion of the population that does indeed actually recognize fragrances let alone smell popular ones so frequently they actually can’t stand to smell it any longer. I do understand they have their own preferences and experiences... just interesting. 🤔
Same here ! It’s fascinating how we get into this culture and try to get creative or unique, but in the end...none of my friends know parfum de Marly or Maison Francis Kurdijans and they all love my sauvage Dior 🤷🏽♂️it’s not that deep lol
SpleenTv totally agree. I think if you move beyond axe body spray and have a concept for what occasion different fragrances work best within, you’re not wearing so much it’s offensive... I think we’re doing just fine at that point lol.
It's like anyone who has a passion for something that mainstream audiences have access to. Some people are fine drinking Jack Daniels...whiskey enthusiasts will find it boring. With people in love of fragrances, they're constantly after the next thing that makes them go "whoa." Even before I really got into fragrances, I found many scents that fragheads love to be extremely boring. Where ATH lays, he wants something that'll blow his mind. Creed is not that brand. Creed is more of the understated elegance.
Rusty Shackleford totally agree and not arguing any of those points. I’m drawing a distinction that what’s being said here is “everybody smells that way, everybody’s sick of that smell” which is a massive exaggeration. Maybe I’m being too particular with words and what they mean is “everybody in the frag community”... but the blanket statement was way off if you’re actually talking in the real sense. Very few people are even actively interested in fragrances.
Unless he's a total fraud (and I don't think he is) he would instantly know his own line because he actually creates his fragrances and doesn't just slap his name on the bottle. I would like to see him review something like Secretions Magnifique and Tropic of Capricorn to see if his reaction is as visceral as most other people LOL.
@@brian95240 Yes, I watched it and his reaction was far less horrified than other people. He was more or less just 'meh', 'bleh' about it, but it didn't send him to the floor LOL. I think one of his worst was with Creed Iris Tuberose and Kilian Woman in Gold--he looked to be in physical pain from those.
Whether or not I agree or disagree with Aaron, I hope he stays brutally honest as he is always because it's really refreshing to see someone who speaks his mind publically in this day and age.
Me too! He’s even gone as far as to prevent bully’s online (if he can get their IP address) from purchasing his products. He also won’t pay for reviews or ads, only wanting people that he feels are honest and kind to review his products. So refreshing
Amen to that. Ashton from Gents Scents does a superb job at being fair; he simply calls it as he smells it. If a fragrance smells bad, he'll tell you in a heartbeat.
These videos are getting more and more beautiful...it is clearly seen Aaron being more and more comfortable expressing his informative mastery feelings.... Thanks again Mr. Orchestrator..."Chris" for such enjoying video special exclusive ideas.....
I think Aaron is a genius, a real independent mind that puts a real value into the art of making perfumes. Some of the best perfumers like to be independent and hate how companies push them to create "stuff that sells". The blind test is amazing, what a nose!!!! Keep on doing this!!!
I could watch Chris and Aaron do videos like this all day! Aaron is amazing! The energy and overall feeling he conveys when he goes into his "scent space" is other worldly! You can feel when he is transported elsewhere as he inhales and exhales each fragrance. Great video as always! 😎 Chris: "Cows in the field." Aaron: " There's no cows in the field." 🤣🤣🤣
That makes zero sense. This man saying it sucks isn't going to bring their entire business down, in fact more like the other way around, people deem Aventus the king of fragrances and this guy talking so deep and spiritual with all these external factors that don't contribute to the fragrance then deeming Aventus rubbish looses him credibility then all his deep talk sounds like BS. At least Jeremy Fragrance knows what is a crowd pleaser despite his own personal opinions.
I loved this video! Aaron appears to have a sort of Synaesthesia where all of his senses are used after smelling a fragrance - similar to when a smell reminded him of blue. Aaron himself mentioned a sort of dyslexia but it’s so much more than that and he’s doing himself a disservice. This is the kind of person I’d like to watch describing perfumes.
I feel the same way about music a musician can drop an album that he dedicated a lot of time on & it puts his name on the map then he gets a record deal & the quality really drops for the second album because it is rushed & theres deadlines as far as studio time & release dates so I totally know what he means about the fragrance game & things being rushed
CaLi Reviews but like Eminem’s latest album. I’m picking up scents of dog shit, lack of motivation, with top notes of not giving a fuck about the music anymore
Loved Aarons way of explaining what he thinks about the colognes. There is no better review then when someone just expresses their emotions to a smell and helps you see the vision that he is seeing in his mind.
"He is going to give us an quick opinion on each of them"😂.. There is no such thing as a "quick opinion" when Aaron Terence Hughes is in town. Awesome! Keep up the great work guys!
thanks Aaron for being honest. It has been really enlightening. I find the brainy part of fragrance interesting and i think it helps us to appreciate the art of it....thanks for bringing this series out!!!!
It would be interesting to hear what he thinks of Imaginary Authors since their fragrances tell a story and they aren’t all necessarily as wearable as they are an art form.
This made my day, I been wondering for years why I always read so many good commenst bout Creed in forums, but everytime i smell one I just cant feel any exitement.
The dynamic between Aaron and Chis is great. Aaron is dropping bombs and Chis is keeping even keel, not influencing the guest. The realness of Aaron's opinions is refreshing. We like what we like and it's healthy to disagree.
Chris...astonish video. Hey Aarón...We aprecciate very much your poetry and sensibility... You gave us an enourmes lesson...about how to explaing what we feel and think.
I have warmed to you Aron. Your opinions are from the heart, not from a cash register. You both come across well together. Thanks for a great channel. Love to learn of Aarons fave male frags. :)
I would like to know Aarons opinion about popular designers like Dolce Gabbana The One edp, Acqua di gio profumo, Azzaro wanted by night or even jpg ultra male
@Sandblock Bass I first had EDT and noticed that problem. Got the EDP and was better in my work n life cos I m a driving instructor. Not a loud perfume and keeps on my skin for 8hrs-10hrs
Thank you so much for this! The two of you have very different personalities and sometimes even taste in perfumes but are so good together, love watching all of these kind of reviews!!🙏🏼
Really good... So many funny examples that makes Aaron so different and unique. I laughed a few times but honesty is out of this world. Congratulations to both of you and keep the good work on the channel and partnership. 5⭐
I really like that Aaron liked green Irish tweed, but I think it’s much less of a ‘blue’ fragrance, but more of an absolute Irish fragrance. I wish I could explain it better but it just reminds me of Ireland (I’ve never even been there!). It feels like people in the 90s, wearing woolen overcoats across a very watery garden. The garden is bright green, and there’s a brook close by. It’s very weird, I’m normally to the point and can objectively comment on the notes , but the GIT blend is just too divine for me
I like when Aaron describes his thoughts and feelings, and all the technical details of a perfume's construction. That´s what I enjoy the most about his comments. The more he talks, the more I understand the essence of a perfume. So, don't just say 'boring' or 'I don't like' - keep talking, Aaron!
The look on Chris’s face is priceless when Aaron gives his opinion on Viking and du Portugal 😆. I think they’re his favorites of Creed. First time watched this video was when it came out I was just getting into fragrances, didn’t know Aaron or Creed. I can see it from a different perspective now.
Aaron is such a breath of fresh air. I love it!! Please let him know he should just speak his mind and just ignore whoever is offended and is being defensive about their fav fragnances being picked apart i think there is so much beauty in honesty!
Love these videos. Please, do a video with him smelling women’s perfumes. I want to hear his opinions about houses like Guerlain, Jo Malone, Dior, YSL, Chanel, etc.
I'm late to the party but this was just great stuff. ATF's presence, insight on fragrance, reminds me of me as I am with music. His brutally educated outlook on Creed, especially Creed, and fragrances is reminiscent of my view of people who just can't seem to let go of the 70's and 80's music (the good and bad), unable to exit that safe typical, follow everyone box... does that make sense? In any case, it be really exciting to see more of ATF on your show and will check out his channel as well. Hopefully sometime soon I can sample his work. Great job guys and thank you as always
Sorry second comment for the same video.. You tell that man that I ordered a sample of black orchid bc of his excitement for it and or blew my mind... It is the weirdest most beautiful thing I have ever smelled! My love from Greece!
OdorVitae I think he’s very fake and always wants to sell his own perfumes. If you try Aaron’s sample box it’s pretty bad, my wife and myself both disliked all but one, blood orange.
@@Peter-tc3ep I personally don't find him fake. I think he has very particular tastes in fragrance. He doesn't seem to go for classic fragrances which many of these are. I think he would much prefer houses like Zoologist who are much more daring in their releases. I am sure he wants to sell his fragrance line but I haven't once even seen him mention where or how to buy them in any of these videos so I don't think he comes across as putting down other fragrances just to sell his own stuff.
I guess there goes the idea that Creed uses all-natural high-quality ingredients... I feel like the Creed family has scammed me on pricing in some sort of way.
Great reviews as always, love Aaron’s honestly and how he can dissect a fragrance. I share the same opinion as Aaron about the house of Creed in general and in particular Aventus...
@Matthew Davies I think that's a fair point, Matthew. I don't want to come across as hating Aventus, either. It's a pleasant fragrance but I simply do not get the hype around this at all. I can't tell you how many times I've sprayed this on me waiting (wanting) to fall in love with it like 80 percent of the people I see commenting on TH-cam, but it just never happens. My reaction is always "meh...that's nice." To be absolutely honest, I think I have that reaction to most Creed fragrances. The only one I own is Green Irish Tweed, and there are days I have the same reaction to that. 😄What I like about Aaron's reviews is that he also takes into account the price of a fragrance when giving his overall opinion. I think he's stated that there are many fragrances that he would have recommended if they had been priced lower, even though they might not be what he himself would like or wear. Cheers!
Honesty with wisdom. Aaron, you laid Aventus bare. I fear for your insights may be punished by one means or another. If you post your own label on this site, I will attempt honor your honesty with a purpose and a purchase too.
I really never like creed aventus that much. the fresher creeds are super great, but it doesn feel like 230 euro worth. more like 180 euro for 100ml. but the Green irish tweed is by far the best soapy fregrance.
If you watch Aaron’s channel you’ll see he reviewed Fetish by Roja and he said he’ll never review another Roja Parfum because the materials used are not ethically sourced, so civet and castoreum are literally the real thing another reason why the price tag is ridiculously high
Classic, conservative, manly fragrances are not Aaron's cup of tea, Shocker!!! He knows his trade but I aint taking fragrance recommendations from this guy.
Yeah Man.... I don't trust this guy... He's way too dramatic for a bottle of juice and feels more off from a manly character.... Versace The Dreamer better than almost every perfume mentioned above... but Aventus and green Irish Tweed are good too...
Taha Adnan Aaron is an artist, perfumery is an art as much as it is a science and that’s where most of us who are just fragrance enthusiasts fall short of understanding the true nature behind perfumery. It’s not about getting compliments, it’s not about what fragrance is beast mode or not or what is a banger, it’s about getting to the heart of the craft. To listen to someone who is so excited about keeping true to perfumeries true form is refreshing. He makes very valid points in that Creed is very, very money-driven in their approach to creating compositions. It’s about emotional and spiritual connections with a fragrance, something that blows your hair back. Whether you will want a recommendation from him is one thing but to say he’s too dramatic is short sighted. If you listen to any master perfumer, most of which I can guarantee have crafted some of the fragrances you all wear, they all speak similarly to the craft as Aaron does
@@scentmemories1047 You know! I know! Why we wear perfumes, okay? We don't need all the crap you wrote. More than 80% of people they wear perfumes to smell good. Whatever he is trying to say is not our business because he seemed like he is talking to a students in perfumery school, when in fact I truly believe he is not qualified for that.
Really doesnt have to apologise for his opinions, people who are watching this particular video want to see/hear how he reacts to different frags. Another great video Chris👌 Can I suggest “perfumer rates Tom ford”?
And what I find so interesting is how triggered Creed anti-fans can get. Resentment and contrarionism is powerful. It's funny how just the name "Creed" can push those buttons.
I like this series because it's different and I like Aaron honesty. Three things here though, 1- He is smelling them from a paper. 2- He is missing the first spray as these been sprayed some time before he smelled them so the punch of first spray is already gone. 3- He sniffs about 6 frags at the same time one after another and am sure his nose goes blind after a while. You may consider these points in the future and find a way around them.
18:37 "I think it's an 8 because the chemist has done a really good job, but I rate it a 3 because I know what the marketing would be behind it." What kind of fragrance advice is that? It would actually be more useful if Aaron could move beyond his own personal style as the ultimate barometer.
Hes biased cause he has his own brand. Its easy to love your own creation and bash others, narcisstic nature (he mentioned that he never loved a person), what can you expect?
Jac Jacy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you are so right. I dont hate the man but he comes off a bit weird. (I dont Care what he says about perfumes) his behaviour is freakin weird.
Ive seen him give beautiful reviews of other brands.🤷♀️ I think he is just really passionate about fragrance and its more of an art. Some people are just more in touch with how things vibrate too. I feel like he does just that. 💜
@@ritayoung4752 he still fake his follower count on instagram and youtube by buying bot followers. Which is kinda cheating. Don't think this guy has dignity.
What a pleasure that was you guys have amazing chemistry 🙂 and the honesty is always the best. I think someone needs to invent a unicorn app we can spray our fragrances on and it can chat to us haha. Also great topic idea for the podcast, is there any lemon in Bois Du Portugal 🤣 that's so going to end up as a gif thing at some point
Well. Fist off, the perfumer knows its the creed line from the get go. I have watched a few other videos of this perfumer and he has some good observations and a monster nose, but here he came out a bit salty towards the top men perfumes, notice how he threw in savauge in as well into his comment. I can clearly smell jealousy and negative vibes coming from the perfumer on top selling male perfumes such as avnetus and savauge. My two cents
I don't want to sound like an ignorant or an asshole, but, im really curios how Aaron have never smelled or knew these popular perfumes despite being a talented and passionate perfumer himself? I really can't understand. Even a humble perfume lover know these classics very well.
Salem, it’s a perfectly valid question so don’t call yourself ignorant. I have always thought the same as I’m sure others have. If I was in any industry, I would want to know my competitors and their products. Also if I loved perfume, I would want to try out as many as I could (which we all do). All I can think of is that maybe he doesn’t want to be influenced by anything.
On his channel he’s said that he hasn’t smelled other brands in about 10 years. Maybe more maybe less. So he is familiar with things like Black Orchid and Oud Wood. I think he purposefully avoided other fragrances to just work on his own stuff
ok wow when he said the royal oud smells slightly more expensive..I knew this guy knows his stuff Its one of my favorites and is the most expensive creed fragrance by a slight amount....
This was amazing! I don't think Aaron needs to apologize for not liking these fragrances. His taste it's very unique and I appreciate it. I say this being a Creed Fanboy. I would enjoy smelling his fragrances, because I'm thinking they'll be intense. A punch in the face as he would say.

Parfums de Marly! Want to know what he thinks about Layton, Percival, Herod, and the others.
I second this!
I love Layton
I'm going to guess that he's going to call them "boring" and won't like them.
He reviewed Harod on his channel. Spoiler: he loved it
Outside of his odd distaste for Carlisle, he is really fond of the house when you look at the reviews on his channel.

I'm late to the party but this was just great stuff. ATF's presence, insight on fragrance, reminds me of me as I am with music. His brutally educated outlook on Creed, especially Creed, and fragrances is reminiscent of my view of people who just can't seem to let go of the 70's and 80's music (the good and bad), unable to exit that safe typical, follow everyone box... does that make sense?
In any case, it be really exciting to see more of ATF on your show and will check out his channel as well. Hopefully sometime soon I can sample his work. Great job guys and thank you as always
Sorry second comment for the same video.. You tell that man that I ordered a sample of black orchid bc of his excitement for it and or blew my mind... It is the weirdest most beautiful thing I have ever smelled! My love from Greece!
If you happen to go on ebay and purchase Oud 24 hour for around £12, I’d be fascinated to know your opinion 😁
@@lordbushmills3089 eBay is weird in my country sir... Some sellers don't ship to Greece for some reason and shipping costs can be a bit ridiculous!
@@tzikas35 That’s a shame Thomas. If we ever get out of this Covid emergency, you will be able to visit England and take a few bottles back with you!
@@lordbushmills3089 I was just in London last february.. Just before the massive lockdown started... Never knew about it... Next time!
@@tzikas35 That’s a shame! You’ll definitely find it in smaller independent shops, not bigger chains.
Popcorn and pitchforks are ready, I wonder which option some people will pick 😂
This should be fun!
How come a perfumer is not very familiar with Creed? Am I the only one who think it's a bit weird?
No, you're not the only one. Perhaps Aaroon is socially segmented.
It's a blind smell test
OdorVitae I think he’s very fake and always wants to sell his own perfumes. If you try Aaron’s sample box it’s pretty bad, my wife and myself both disliked all but one, blood orange.
@@Peter-tc3ep I personally don't find him fake. I think he has very particular tastes in fragrance. He doesn't seem to go for classic fragrances which many of these are. I think he would much prefer houses like Zoologist who are much more daring in their releases. I am sure he wants to sell his fragrance line but I haven't once even seen him mention where or how to buy them in any of these videos so I don't think he comes across as putting down other fragrances just to sell his own stuff.
@@Cloudburst2000 agreed
Yes, thank you both for this. I do really enjoy this.
PLEASE get this guy on Maison Francis Kurkdjian, especially their softer ouds and rose fragrances which are well crafted but may be basic to some!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and this man knows his stuff and have a blessed day
"Why does a Viking smell like a mint?" LOL!
Mouth wash, Vikings were well known for their oral hygiene
🤣🤣
Thats true. They had their cleaning Devices allways in their pocket
@@angusdevine7045 why do they do that? I'm curious 🤔
The clap at 15:22 haha they’re so in sync and having a good time
I guess there goes the idea that Creed uses all-natural high-quality ingredients... I feel like the Creed family has scammed me on pricing in some sort of way.
My sentiments exactly.
They have.
They do, man. They use natural ingredients, don't get fooled by one mans opinion
Marius there’s been rumors recently that newer batches use much lower quality ingredients
@@thuggathuggababy Well, you said that. Just rumors.
Holy Cowboy ! Thanks FM for showcasing this guy!
He echoes my opinion about these fragrances.
Must start watching his videos.
10:48 „I wanna be generous“ ... „five and a half“ brilliant 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I usually fully agree with Aaron and I love the new side he brought to reviewing fragrances! Thanks for doing these series!
The way Aaron's brain dissects each fragrance is so interesting to me. Love the video as usual, Chris!
Thanks Seth👍🏻
Great reviews as always, love Aaron’s honestly and how he can dissect a fragrance. I share the same opinion as Aaron about the house of Creed in general and in particular Aventus...
"Nauseating chemical sludge" has to be the Aventus review to end all reviews. Mic dropped. ❤️Love you, Aaron, for this and so much more!
Let's be honest, Aventus only sells because of the fake hype paid youtubers put behind it.
@Matthew Davies I think that's a fair point, Matthew. I don't want to come across as hating Aventus, either. It's a pleasant fragrance but I simply do not get the hype around this at all. I can't tell you how many times I've sprayed this on me waiting (wanting) to fall in love with it like 80 percent of the people I see commenting on TH-cam, but it just never happens. My reaction is always "meh...that's nice." To be absolutely honest, I think I have that reaction to most Creed fragrances. The only one I own is Green Irish Tweed, and there are days I have the same reaction to that. 😄What I like about Aaron's reviews is that he also takes into account the price of a fragrance when giving his overall opinion. I think he's stated that there are many fragrances that he would have recommended if they had been priced lower, even though they might not be what he himself would like or wear. Cheers!
Honesty with wisdom. Aaron, you laid Aventus bare. I fear for your insights may be punished by one means or another. If you post your own label on this site, I will attempt honor your honesty with a purpose and a purchase too.
I really never like creed aventus that much. the fresher creeds are super great, but it doesn feel like 230 euro worth. more like 180 euro for 100ml. but the Green irish tweed is by far the best soapy fregrance.
Dylan Foster well at least that’s a hot take. A ridiculously stupid take, but a hot take nonetheless.
The passion from ATH is amazing and I love it. Please let him talk more! Less interrupting.
He's the best guest on your channel. I really like his honesty. Great video guys!
Thanks Jonathan 👍🏻
Great great video!!! Aaron was a pleasure. Thanks ❤😁
This is one of the most entertaining parfume-related video I've ever watched 😊
I'm glad you think so👍🏻
Love you both together! Chris, you’re so sympathetic
I would like to see Aaron react to Roja Parfums!
M.Podgorski he won’t smell roja, they use real animal products.
I second that.
He smelt one roja in a video and liked it said it was very well crafted
@@iancampbell1494 what are u talking about?
If you watch Aaron’s channel you’ll see he reviewed Fetish by Roja and he said he’ll never review another Roja Parfum because the materials used are not ethically sourced, so civet and castoreum are literally the real thing another reason why the price tag is ridiculously high
I miss THIS Aaron. He used to seem so energetic and happy. His latest videos seem like he’s a bit down.
I hope you’re well! We support you!
Classic, conservative, manly fragrances are not Aaron's cup of tea, Shocker!!! He knows his trade but I aint taking fragrance recommendations from this guy.
So true.
Yeah Man.... I don't trust this guy... He's way too dramatic for a bottle of juice and feels more off from a manly character....
Versace The Dreamer better than almost every perfume mentioned above... but Aventus and green Irish Tweed are good too...
Taha Adnan Aaron is an artist, perfumery is an art as much as it is a science and that’s where most of us who are just fragrance enthusiasts fall short of understanding the true nature behind perfumery. It’s not about getting compliments, it’s not about what fragrance is beast mode or not or what is a banger, it’s about getting to the heart of the craft. To listen to someone who is so excited about keeping true to perfumeries true form is refreshing. He makes very valid points in that Creed is very, very money-driven in their approach to creating compositions. It’s about emotional and spiritual connections with a fragrance, something that blows your hair back. Whether you will want a recommendation from him is one thing but to say he’s too dramatic is short sighted. If you listen to any master perfumer, most of which I can guarantee have crafted some of the fragrances you all wear, they all speak similarly to the craft as Aaron does
@@scentmemories1047
You know!
I know!
Why we wear perfumes, okay?
We don't need all the crap you wrote.
More than 80% of people they wear perfumes to smell good.
Whatever he is trying to say is not our business because he seemed like he is talking to a students in perfumery school, when in fact I truly believe he is not qualified for that.
@@boardcrf2763have you tried ‘cope’ by Calvin Klein?
😆😆😉
Really doesnt have to apologise for his opinions, people who are watching this particular video want to see/hear how he reacts to different frags.
Another great video Chris👌
Can I suggest “perfumer rates Tom ford”?
Oh my god, that thumbnail .... priceless!!
I love these videos. And I am all for his brutal honesty. Most just say good things its acc refreshing to see real honesty
There should be a trigger warning at the beginning of this video for Creed fan boys 😂
Giving me some laughs for sure!!🤣

And what I find so interesting is how triggered Creed anti-fans can get. Resentment and contrarionism is powerful. It's funny how just the name "Creed" can push those buttons.
I like this series because it's different and I like Aaron honesty. Three things here though, 1- He is smelling them from a paper. 2- He is missing the first spray as these been sprayed some time before he smelled them so the punch of first spray is already gone. 3- He sniffs about 6 frags at the same time one after another and am sure his nose goes blind after a while. You may consider these points in the future and find a way around them.
18:37 "I think it's an 8 because the chemist has done a really good job, but I rate it a 3 because I know what the marketing would be behind it." What kind of fragrance advice is that? It would actually be more useful if Aaron could move beyond his own personal style as the ultimate barometer.
Trigggggered lol
Excellent video and idea brother, love it , do this with other houses as well , killian ,roja , byredo , pdm etc .
Hes biased cause he has his own brand. Its easy to love your own creation and bash others, narcisstic nature (he mentioned that he never loved a person), what can you expect?
Jac Jacy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you are so right. I dont hate the man but he comes off a bit weird. (I dont Care what he says about perfumes) his behaviour is freakin weird.
Ive seen him give beautiful reviews of other brands.🤷♀️ I think he is just really passionate about fragrance and its more of an art. Some people are just more in touch with how things vibrate too. I feel like he does just that. 💜
@@ritayoung4752 he still fake his follower count on instagram and youtube by buying bot followers. Which is kinda cheating. Don't think this guy has dignity.
This is so brilliant, you should consider a full parfums de marly video with Aaron
Finally Aaron is back, with his special reactions :DD
Loved the content, keep it up!
Thanks👍🏻
What do you mean, he's on here nearly every week.
What a pleasure that was you guys have amazing chemistry 🙂 and the honesty is always the best. I think someone needs to invent a unicorn app we can spray our fragrances on and it can chat to us haha. Also great topic idea for the podcast, is there any lemon in Bois Du Portugal 🤣 that's so going to end up as a gif thing at some point
🍋
Do you have a video of his FAVORITE fragrances? Lol I'd love that list.
Aaron's appearances are an instant watch. Fantastic stuff, with some well needed passion for the craft.
Well. Fist off, the perfumer knows its the creed line from the get go.
I have watched a few other videos of this perfumer and he has some good observations and a monster nose, but here he came out a bit salty towards the top men perfumes, notice how he threw in savauge in as well into his comment.
I can clearly smell jealousy and negative vibes coming from the perfumer on top selling male perfumes such as avnetus and savauge. My two cents
Wow, the range of emotions was startling. Which generated a really interesting and in-depth conversation between you both.
I don't want to sound like an ignorant or an asshole, but, im really curios how Aaron have never smelled or knew these popular perfumes despite being a talented and passionate perfumer himself? I really can't understand. Even a humble perfume lover know these classics very well.
I love Erin but agree with you on this. I’m a woman and I even know how a few of the Creed scents smell
if you know or follow aaron.you would know that he cares very little about other fregrance brands. he likes his own and he likes tom ford and kilian.
Salem, it’s a perfectly valid question so don’t call yourself ignorant. I have always thought the same as I’m sure others have. If I was in any industry, I would want to know my competitors and their products. Also if I loved perfume, I would want to try out as many as I could (which we all do). All I can think of is that maybe he doesn’t want to be influenced by anything.
On his channel he’s said that he hasn’t smelled other brands in about 10 years. Maybe more maybe less. So he is familiar with things like Black Orchid and Oud Wood. I think he purposefully avoided other fragrances to just work on his own stuff
Salem Al Ketbi I’m gonna have to agree with you on this, I think he knows what he’s smelling when he describes certain ones
Like first then start watching,, really enjoy your videos Chris ,, much love from Morocco
ok wow when he said the royal oud smells slightly more expensive..I knew this guy knows his stuff Its one of my favorites and is the most expensive creed fragrance by a slight amount....
So much opinion about Creed and hype. I am glad this video came through. Thanks for this
I haven't watched yet, but this is an assumed vote for review/vid of the year! 😲
This was amazing! I don't think Aaron needs to apologize for not liking these fragrances. His taste it's very unique and I appreciate it. I say this being a Creed Fanboy. I would enjoy smelling his fragrances, because I'm thinking they'll be intense. A punch in the face as he would say.
"The 2016 batch of nauseating chemical sludge btw" 🤣🤣🤣
I do find it hard to believe he'd say that bout muh boy Aventus.
Not because of the scent itself. Hes more tired of the saturation of the market with this DNA.
We know he likes Tom Ford and "Slut" by Aaron Terence Hughes
More Aaron please! :)
So he has been a perfumer forever but has never smelt aventus etc before?
I think he knows what he’s smelling, anyone can act
I know i just commented but this is 30 minutes of interesting topic. Loooove this!
I‘m just here to see Aaron‘s facial expression whenever he smells a lemony fragrance.
On a serious note, love these collab videos.
All this interesting talk yet the biggest chemistry is not the ingredients used but the enchanting chemistry between Aaron and Chris.
How kind, thank you
