I think Jeremy will be 100% satisfied with this review:
- technically well made
- combination of Sauvage/Aventus/Cool Water
- good performance
- made to make money
And what you're describing as a scent profile sounds like an absolute nauseatingly screechy synthetic headache nightmare. I will likely never try it.
@@JoinTheProgress I picked it up out of interest and it's surprisingly quite pleasant albeit unnecessary if you have an officey blueish fragrance
Except he rated it in numerous videos 10 out of 10, perfect fragrance.
Still wouldnt pay for it at its current price
@@JoinTheProgress i was literally thinking like this at first, when i tried it. its hard to explain, it doesn't have identity. it really is a combination of all the mass appelaing frag, but doesnt smell the same, weird. but it works, it really works, you will get noticed, i got a lot of compliments wearing this than my blue fragrance (BDC, YSL Y EDP, Sauvage and dylan blue) its nothing ground breaking for sure, technically its niche but smells like a generic fresh, aquatic and close to blue frags, but it works. not for the collectors, but foe people who just want to wear something that works and be done with it. not for me, but it works for what it is, i give him credit for that. its long lasting too. performance is niche level, but smell is same ball park as your normal freshie or blue designer scent. when i smell this its something like what chanel, armani or dior would release for money. thats it.
'Technically brilliant but overpriced' and there we have it. Let's move on to the next fragrance :)
Everyone knew that man its obvious
“Well-crafted, with no personality.” Just like an office. Sounds perfect for what it’s meant to do.
oandersontech Never thought about it that way. Maybe the non uniqueness is a strength and not a weakness. Though the price is still tough to stomach.
Just like an office? What kind of hamster cage office do you work in!? lol
oandersontech “I didn’t say that anything felt like a hamster cage. Lighten up.”
You’re adorable when you delete your post to try harder! lmao I appreciate the attempt!
"Well-crafted, with no personality"....just like Jeremy!
@sbowesuk yeah, not worth it unless you're a CEO that goes to the office once a month.
"When the profit supercedes the art I don't like that" amazing
Aaron, you are a breath of fresh air. You have a God given talent for recognizing fragrance notes and seemingly understanding how fragrances are constructed technically and creatively. Well done. Beyond that you express yourself well and don't seem fixated on catering to other people's expectations. i.e. you're honest in your assessments. I find this unique, refreshing, and much needed in the fragrance community. Well done brother. There is more than one way to review a fragrance and I appreciate your approach. I'm a bit tired of focusing on all of the old metrics that you tubers have been using to rate new scents.
I really LOVE your reviews! They're spot on, not only on the fragrance side but also on the art/passion side! Thank you!
My pleasure
OK, so your are now my favourite fragrance expert by a mile. Your knowledge and sense of smell are incredible. How you compute the composition, explain it and suggest tweaks is sublime!
Well crafted, but no personality... so it's the perfect office scent for corporations, good job Jeremy :)))))
lol
You're supposed to show personality in corporations.... You're not living in North Korea
@@Bucelcpsdr as long as you don't annoy anyone with your scent.
@@Bucelcpsdr for jeremy it's obviously not for the art just businnes
bv coae
Okay let’s be honest, if you’re working alongside somebody in a cubicle, are you really going to be wanting to smell their “personality and uniqueness” for 8 hours a day?
Just throw on black orchid
Only if they’re wearing Kouros
@@garbagejuice1 24hrs ard al zafran is black orchid for £12
@@dizzyghost4332 I have a couple of impressions of Tom ford, but black Orchid is ny favorite so I would never get a clone of that
I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Capital letter “L” ! Love Black Orchid’s DNA, but that sh*t is wayyyy to f*cking strong. 😍/😡
I Love your straight talking honesty and unbiased opinion on things 👍👍
I got this one at 60% discount and I only use it for the office, because it smells clean and boring! Excellent review!
Then you got it for the price I think its worth. Its lovely though. The perfumer did a good job
i got it at that price too with no regrets! smells terrific
50% for me and i'd only get it around that price
Bashar AR I got office for 50% off and date for 60% off. Office is ok fresh and day to day scent. My wife likes date better
How is it in the compliment factor?
The honesty you give your subscribers is awesome. No holding back. Passionate and unflinching in the eye of resistance. Love the vids.
Il never be bought and companies will never be allowed to send me bottles. I will always review what you guys want. Its important to always keep this interactive.
Love this review, very professional and honest.
Perfect analysis. When I first saw Jeremy I thought “style over substance”.
With his social footprint he could have made something unbelievable and unique. That’s why I can’t wait to test your products Aaron.
Ah. Thank you:)
I was very intrigued by you mentioning there being a lot of maths involved in the creation of this fragrance as I've never actually heard or read much about the use of maths in perfumery. That is something I would love to hear more about in one of your future videos :)
Oh yes. Its the one thing Im most fascinated about. When mine get to the final point all the % go into each other. People can smell the maths. Every time!!! Its quite amazing tbh.
@@AaronTerenceHughes Very interesting, I've recently started getting into perfumery and I've realised how hard it is to find good information on the inner workings of this art. So the information you are sharing with us is very much appreciated.
Have you ever been to the French Riveria? My mother was born near Grasse. Old School Classy French Perfume(she used to wear) and she use to tell me there was a School of Perfumery around this area in Grasse.
I went once when I was a child with my family. :)
Honest review.
Pedestrian aroma.
5.1 out of 10.
Respectfully🇨🇦
I am relatively new to the fragrance world. I must say that I have to thank Jeremy for introducing me to this new and exciting interest.
I think Jeremy had a great idea in making it clearer which fragrances to use for different occasions and it could have helped many people. However, I think his execution could have been different.
In general my impression of watching fragrance videos for the last 3 months is that many reviewers lack the substance to move things further beyond personal tastes, and this is where I think Aaron fits in perfectly. I think Aaron's videos are amazing and although I needed to get used to his style, it has made me a bigger fan. Love the down to earth attitude, creative expressiveness and subject matter expertise.
I like how youre honest and still professional at the same time lol. not just blindly bashing jeremy like the rest of fragrance community but an honest opinion
What a great breakdown of this. You're the first person to explain this fragrance perfectly.
Really tho? It smells nothing like aventus or sauvage l. Meanwhile my man Aaron charges $170 for 50ml. Foh
Your facial expression in the thumbnail says everything!
Very fair review ! I love the way you describe the composition, very professional. We agree on the creativity point and craftsmanship !
hyped to see your reaction!
This is why I love you ATH... there's no time for bullshit with you & that brutal honesty is infectious. On top of being a gorgeous soul, you're so free & pure. Love everything about you my brother.
I've been dying for this review! thank you! I look forward to your videos &/or professional opinion. You're such a beautiful soul...
I have it, and I agree with you all, I'm happy that you made a fair review about it, the performance for this kind of versatile perfume it's just excellent, I know that is just not the most important thing, but this kind of strength, that you can be smelling one full day and doesn't give you sickness in my experience for a versatile perfume like this is difficult to find
this man is smooth.. from the intro to the hand gestures everything he does and says makes one take notice
You are quickly becoming my favorite reviewer. The way you articulate the smell of the fragrances with your words and animated gestures of the hands and arms are brilliant. Keep it coming!
Its hard to go back to listening to reviews with such vague descrptions.
cj miller, exactly!
Aaron Terence Hughes, I am sorry that you have taken my comment as condescending. I did not mean it that way at all, I really am a huge fan.
I own The Office. It’s definitely “safe” but I enjoy it, because it’s a fresh scent and lasts. I purchased it for 60% off, so it was worth the spend that way.
Me too. It seems to last forever, at least that hype is real.
trollking99 - I have to say, that Boardroom from Alexandria Fragrances lasts 50% longer. Not as smooth in the opening, but a fantastic interpretation. I have both.
Where did you get it for 60% off I wanna buy it
Hayden Dias - From the Fragrance One website. Every now and then, he’ll have it for either 60% off or like he currently has it as a “Buy one, get one free.” The code was 60OFF when I bought it. Hope that helps.
@@Profumoditoti Oh nice. I'm not familiar with that one but if it lasts longer than Office, then it's a beast!
Better than I was expecting. Something like Sauvage and Aventus with a price point in between. Sounds like that was the brief.
I just want to add that I found your channel around 1k subs. After watching one video, I was hooked! You deserve every bit of recognition and I am very proud to see you surpasses 10k subs! Keep up the great work and long live the unicorn!
Yass and long live the Unicorn family. Thank you for keeping watching:)
Aaron you are magical/brilliant...I love your energy and candor. Thanks for being authentically you. 😉😉😉
And he is handsome as hell
I absolutely love the way you describe and talk about fragrances ♥️
Have been waiting for this lmao!
You gotta love how this dude explains his thoughts. Brilliant.
As soon as I saw this notification, I was like congrats on the 10k, ATH!!! Much love! 💙
Yassss. Thank you. You been here since there start
@@AaronTerenceHughes I was an instant fan after the first time I saw you (your first appearance on Chris's channel). I am so happy that you made your own channel. You are a breath of dirty air. I fucking love it, and adore you for it!
Oh I've been waiting for this!!
For me it's a fragrance that does what it's supposed to do. I got it for department store prices during a sale on his website. It's not outstanding, it's not of poor quality either. It's just alright. Only gripe I have is the presentation/bottle, you're not getting your money's worth with that, the atomizer does a great job of disbursing the fragrance but it feels like I'm pressing down on a calculator button.
your review makes perfect sense. i have watched many of jeremy's videos and he is passionate about fragrances. my critique of jeremy is that he is always talking about the same fragrances in all of his videos, just in slightly different ways. and he does talk about sauvage and creed a lot! it makes sense that would have created a scent that attempted to bridge some sort of gap between those two worlds. but usually there is a lot of empty space beneath bridges, isn't there.
not only does he talk about the same fragrances but he'll flip flop about what he says about them all the time :(
Unleash a perfumer. Make art not profit. Its its groundbreaking then profit follows.
So it's basically a clone of Sauvage but slightly more boring? And why ambroxan in the opening notes? I've only seen it used in the middle or base notes like in Dylan Blue or Sauvage.
"The perfumer was not allowed to be unleashed" 😆
ATH you are correct. Jeremy indicated what he wanted, and that's what he got. No ways that a master perfumer like Alberto Morrilas couldn't produce, something with a bit more punch. It's a lovely fragrance, just something that is safe, and nothing more.
100%
New subscriber after watching your video with Monika Cioch. Two of the most honest reviewers and can see that from your passion for what you guys do. I hold both your reviews and opinions the highest degree amongst the numerous reviewers I’ve come across who just seem to want to get loads of content and likes on their channel. You guys aren’t afraid to tell it how it is and go against the grain.
Looking forward to more of your content!
Cheers 🥃
Always honest! That’s what I like about your reviews. Plus, you know what you’re talking about.
I appreciate that!
There is no way in the wild days of dreams that I would pay that much for a fragrance when there is so many great accomplishments out there ... the review is always honest and interesting, and answers the question as to why .
For those mentioning Aaron's professionalism and honesty...ALL of his reviews are done in this manner.
Thank you Chris. Im not here to bash and create drama, Im here because I love the art of perfumery.
I’ve been waiting for this videos for a while
Purchased a package 2 years ago. Office:POWER, very divisive. Date: barf. Unisex: nice, don't overspray. Price-ridiculous. Bang on analysis!
It is also an anti-travalo bottle. You can remove the nozzle, but the tube is too wide for the port at the bottom of a travalo.
Just discovered you and I'm new to the world of Fragerances. I have to say I really appreciate the fact you sell stuff in smaller denominations like 10ml etc... It #1 allows me to try something without committing to a giant bottle that takes up a ton of space when I don't even know I I'll like what I'm buying #2 I can afford to try more Fragerances from your line. I wish more companies marketed this way. Also I appreciate that you use high quality ingredients without charging ridiculous prices. You respect your customers and that makes you much more respectable in my eyes. Jeremy Fragerance should take note.. I'm sure his products smell fine but he lost all respect from me when he said "the cost per unit is extremely low I could sell my perfumes for pennies on the dollar if I wanted to I just choose not to" it's exceptionally arrogant to price stuff in the $200-$300 niche tom ford type range when your first product just hit the market 9 months ago.
This is fantastic!!! I’m so happy for you! I love the new packaging...it looks awesome!
This is the best, and fairest review I've seen on Office For Men (as I would expect of you, Aaron). A lot of people have heaped scorn on Office For Men, largely because they don't like its creator. I knew that it wouldn't be your 'type' of fragrance (too safe and boring!), but you're absolutely right when you say that it's technically brilliant. It is. It's a well-crafted, good fragrance that does exactly what its creator wanted. Would I buy it? Probably not, because it's too similar to others that I have, but if it was priced less expensively I'd certainly recommend it to others as a pleasant, compliment-getting fragrance with superb performance. Thanks for your honesty and integrity, Aaron.
Paul Woolgar my pleasure.im interested in the art not the face behind the brand. I’m not into negatively at all!
@@AaronTerenceHughes Best reviewer around! Love and light. x
Don't know what he was thinking when pricing Office but there's a second market we go to for 150€ - 100ml bottle. That pricing range is awesome. I like this fragrance. It's doing his job wonderful.
Worth to have among all the niche/indie complexed fragrances we all have.
Aaron - This is the difference between ATH and Jeremy Fragrance. JF is all hype, Office for Men was launched as being a limited run exclusive fragrance. ATH is so much more. When we buy one of your fragrance we get a little bit of your soul in each bottle. When I received my order my invoice had a handwritten note from you thanking me for supporting your work and your charity, I bet no-one gets that from Jeremy. Don't change, stay true to yourself and may you go from strength to strength.
Martin Randall 100% each fragrance has a piece of music attached and a story. I don’t create because I have to I create because I love to. I actually underprice as I want people to have real oud. Rose and real concentrates. I think I’m
The polar opposite of jerrermy
3:00 the review begins
The Perfumer is Alberto Morillas (Acqua di Gio, M7, Pi, CK One). And I think the price was quite high because it's not a big house, which means he had all the cost like a designer house but not the quantity in production.
He made a video once saying it costa $6 or $9 to make each bottle.
On point review i believe, pure professional n honest. Fragrance enthusiasts didnt get hyped with it, its just the pricing issue that made ppl feel they're being used or schemed somehow from jeremy's marketing point of view. His followers were waiting a magnetic but affordable fragrance since they trust his taste in perfumes, which in return he gave them a basic double priced one. He ignored his faithful followers n offered them his greedy perspetive only diverting towards making the money of them, n that pissed everyone off bcz of his trick. Anw thanks for ur review Aaron. Done with this, moving on to another perfume journey with u buddy
Issam Alia that’s so sad .once you mess with people’s money they never come back. You can fool people. People actually know if it’s worth it. Marketing can only take you so far. Very sad as I would think people wouldn’t buy from
Him again.
I watched because I knew you would give an honest review and you're entertaining. Thank you
Always honest:)

Words of wisdom
Great review Aaron! Very honest and professional! Love your reviews keep them coming!
Thank you
@@AaronTerenceHughes You are quite welcome! 😁
Honest and authentic review - and exactly what I imagine it would be like
So much respect for your honest and very professional reviews
Thank you :)
I totally agree with this master review. Office was a good surprise for me, actually a very good fragrance, powerfull yet smooth, fresh and clean, it really does well in the office theme/environment so i totally agree with you, its superb technically but flat and linear emotionally which happens to be perfect for an office guy like me. I really love the way you dance with your hands, it tell us perfectly whats going on with your perception, feelings and emotions. What a lovely way to comunicate. Subscribed.
Thank you:)
Congrats on 10K, Aaron! Keep em coming!
Thank you
You keep it real good price on your frags not overpriced it 200 is a lot for a frag. Humble I love how you review the big names and really rate them not sell them
A fair review I think, although you have to judge Office by the fact that it is very rarely full price. I waited for 60% off and that cost me just over 60 Euro. It's the right price bracket for it and at that price, a solid 8 or 9 out of 10 I think. Well blended, great projection, fresh, sharp and lively. It actually makes my taste buds start watering. Never ever worth its full price though.
I agree. An amazing £60 fragrance
@@AaronTerenceHughes Aaron, I have a bottle of Atkinson's His Majesty the Oud. If I send a sample will you review it? I find it absolutely frustrating. I don't know what real Oud v synthetic Oud smells like. I don't know if it's quality or not. Please help! Give me your perfumers nose opinion!
@@gospelgrace Ofcause. Only 1ml - 2ml please. Anymore and its wasted. Don't be upset if im honest!!!!
@@AaronTerenceHughes Your honesty is what I value! You have the balls to give established niche fragrances the real marks they deserve. I want to to know the truth. I will send it your way with another little fragrance surprise and would love to know what you think.
@@gospelgrace You know how I mark now. (I realised my marks were fucked up). 1-4 Technical ability, 5-6 Price, 6-10 If I like it. So something technical may just not stimulate me on an emotional level( Perfume made my computers). But something not so technical but full of passion, story and love combined with an amazing price could get a higher mark. The really high marks have to hit all three and the extra marks have to emote such emotions that I become very dyslexic, (Thats the left side of the brain disconnecting and I become completely right side) or I actually break down in tears as the art is so beautiful.
Enjoyed your take on "OFFICE" for Men, be safe and BLESSED
Same to you
Does this smell like versace dylan blue?
Congratulations on 10k subs in no time at all. Great review - summed it up in a nut shell.
I bought into the original releases of OFfice. I found it was what I considered trashy fresh. Great scent trail but up close that scratchy ozonic Ambrox just isnt my thing. Lacked artistic value for the money. I sold all of it in 5 ml decants when it was hyped like crazy and made my money back and then some. So thank you Jeremy for that.
HA. Go you. Better business sense then Jeremy
I got samples of Office and Date and they are both just basic scents but I hear that black tie is the best one but not for that price!!
I love your reviews and how expressive and passionate you are..keep it up.
I subscribed because he said "and all that bull--it" . lovely video, honest feedback, what's not to love? thanks for your reviews!
Awesome content! Keep up the great work, Aaron! Never give up
Thank you:)
Always unbiased (I am a MS Statistician) and very fair...Awesome review!....Now try “Date for Men”.....I did buy it when it was 50%....or approximately $90....The special price was ok....$180....Maybe not?
Goodness me all these offers. Whats going on over there.
“Pretty on the outside,but basic”
I totally get that. The opening is nice but it just transforms into an average perfume you’d buy on the mainstream market. Personally not my style but I do acknowledge the work that went into it,excellent review Aaron!
Thank you
Congrats on 10k, well deserved. The only way up is up!
Thank you:)
So I haven't browsed your content for a few weeks but you're really blowing up, swear last I checked you had about 1k subs! Well in my man 🤙
Scott Hodge it is scary and took me by surprise. I had to have extra therapy sessions as it’s a bit anxiety producing!!!
@@AaronTerenceHughes I can imagine so but it's not a surprise, it's quite refreshing to see someone say it how it is given how bogged down the industry is with sponsorships etc. If anything I was more surprised how late you got into the TH-cam game! Hope all is well now anyway, I'll be looking to drive headfirst into your frags this year and very excited for it.
Dude the way you describe this fragrance is exactly how it was designed to smell. The price is always like buy one get one free or 40% off.
Honest review,, aroma from heaven
Fantastic video Aaron, I think you really nailed this one! I managed to find a cheap bottle of this and curiosity got the better of me.
It arrived today and I was actually surprised by how nice it was, albeit a bit boring. I think it achieves what it sets out to do though and for ~£60 I can't complain!
Can't wait to see your review of Date!
Edit: also can't wait to get my hands on Zeus and help support positive mental health (and smelling great)! What you're doing for charity is incredibly generous and I can't wait to see what's next!
I think we raised £600 in one day for Start. Il know tomorrow when we send out Zeus. Il then transfer the funds Tuesday Morning and put the amount on the site. Thank you for supporting an amazing charity helping others who cant afford therapy. Zeus is actually a lovely day or office scent. Even though I have no idea what goes on in an office. I presume a lot of boring things from people and paperwork
@@AaronTerenceHughes That's amazing! I'm very happy I was able to contribute and I can't wait to wear the fragrance. And thank you for supporting such a great charity! I think it's going to be extra special wearing it knowing the good it's doigg for charity.
I quit my job recently to study for a PhD so I don't have to worry too much about 'office scents', hopefully this is a good laboratory scent though!
"Pretty on the outside with no integrity" is a perfect summary of Jeremy really. Gotta respect his grind to get to the top of youtube and bring in Alberto Morillas to make a well crafted but bland scent. But the price is silly, and he fails to understand designer and niche houses are more expensive as they are in shops which have overheads, huge marketing campaigns and years of brand name value. Great review as always Aaron🦄
Overpriced lovely scent. Should of been slightly cheaper then Savage. I think thats a perfect price. £80.
Congrats on 10k! This is totally the type of fragrance I avoid. Tried Sauvage (sounds similar to office) once and it gave me a headache. So synthetic.
Juanito Ganancias office and sauvage are not nearly the same
iven G which do you prefer?
Totally get your sentiments. I got it for 60€ and it performs really well, so I'm happy with mine. Not planning on getting Date though
perfect price
@@AaronTerenceHughes agreed!
Very lovely fair review mate 🦄 incredibly balanced. A tough one to take on but so well and eloquently spoken about 😁
Thank you
Much awaited review.
I am so happy you do what you do, what a lovely talented guy. It massively helps the average street nose make the right choices.
I go into each review knowing that people are trusting me on how to spend there money. So I try to be very clear on what is worth the money and what isn't
I have never smelt the fragrances but I know when you say it my have a Dior and creed in it because the to are his favorite. I have not watched your review on “date” but i know it has a bit of JPG super man in it.
Im a owner of landscape company and love wearing well made fragrances. I need a new one for the summer . I’m out in the heat all day and dirty any suggestions would be great
The price is a bit misleading because (at the time I saw the fragrance being pushed in terms of marketing and promotion) buyers would buy one bottle and be able to get a second free meaning essentially you're buying two bottles for the price of 160 (at least at the beginning) which is a bit bad because what does one do if they just want one because I'm pretty sure most if not all were blind buying due to the fact it was only perfume reviewers were the main ones getting free bottles to review on their channels
I could listen to this dude talk all day
My dogs feel the same.,
So can we actually rub fragrance? I'm not sure but I think you did it on the start? Does it actually kill some of the notes or its just a myth?
I was looking to buy a fragrance yesterday and I was wearing Office for Men. I smelt Mont Blanc Explorer and I swear it almost smelt the same in the opening.
These are all based around the same DNA. But where as Explorer is the correct price but a dupe. Office is slightly different and you would only know its the same thing after a few hours on the dry down.
Imo office for men is nice.its an office scent.not a clubbing scent.or a date scent.it does what it says.very light.yet semi clinical. Very soft.gentle and i like it.
I love Office for Men.
I have tried other fragrances with ambroxyn like Sauvage or new Acqua di Gio Profondo.
Office is better smells better lasts longer and gets more compliments.
Office for men does not smells like creed Aventus at all. Office is mostly about what people like today : ambroxyn scent.
10/10 for me
@Nathaniel's Phone have you tried all of the others ?
You're describing it so accurately, as you would have been there when they created it. I can imagine Alberto Morillas making that 7:12 face while working on it 😄
I want perfumers to be unleashed.
@@AaronTerenceHughes Yes, but the concept of the perfume was precisely as you said. The guy went to the perfumer and told him he wanted this from Aventus and that from Sauvage. He asked basically for a mishmash of the two, not something different.
@@tonymalizia Im working with birth tar at the moment.
@@AaronTerenceHughes So, you're making a leather frag, right?
what a conversation here 😂
LOL the look on his face in that thumb nail. LOL. I was thinking after watching Joy review Date for men. What would ATH think of these perfumes and the thumbnail pretty much embodied that thought.
Arron I got a question so I lovee punchy strong dark fragrances I hate fresh stuff and the first time I discovered something I truly loved was TOM FORD Tabacco Vanille 2 years ago when I was 20 that was my ideal darkest which made me cough but today it doesn’t feel dark as it used to is it because my nose and brain got used to dark fragrances or something else changed what can be the reason??? Thank you 🙏🏼
I think thats IFRA. They are changing things again atm. So I expect things are going to change again in 2021 I do talk about this a bit but should do an IFRA video in the education section
not breaking any boundaries huh, im not very well off so if i spend money on a fragrance its a luxury so it better be really amazing and special!
Congratulations on 10k subs
Thank you:)
