Aaron's wholesome blind reaction to his own fragrance was such a profound moment, really highlights how much he enjoys and takes pride in what he does.
@@RichardOliver why? Because I asked him a simple question and he made a smart snarky remark then blocked me. I told him I had a few of his fragrances and loved boss Bastard. Wasn’t initially into it and took time to get to like it. Another seemed too sweet and not as rounded . He took offense to me saying it wasn’t as rounded I suppose.
@@stefankkbarnes interesting . If anything it should be a compliment . But there’s reasons why he won’t review FRAGRANCE DU BOIS. Oud or AOUD, can smell like anything , doesn’t always have to be pissy. Same with PDM & INITIO .
I've recently gotten a bottle of Onyx Extreme, the longevity is incredible. It blows all other rose oud fragrances out of the water. I have worked 24 hour shifts and get home and take my clothes off and still get strong smells of Onyx dry down. I can not say enough good things about this brand, especially in terms of price with regard to the quality of materials used.
These are epic, you two are foundational in our community. Thank you for sticking by and bringing forward so many voices of the frag comm, as well as injecting so much humor/joy in your work. Inspiring. Love your work Chris, and I love the sneaky, cheeky fun you have with him. You can tell how eager he is to start smelling at the beginning. He's like, "no intro, smell now!" 🤣😂 . bravo blokes :)
Hey Chris! Absolutely love the video, always a pleasure to ATH (recently purchased Onyx and love it). A possible idea for a future video - not sure you've ever been into the shop 'Bodycare'but they sell the most hilarious bootleg copies of frags "Adventus" and "Le Man" were highlights. Would be amazing to see your and ATHs reactions to them!
I feel like Aaron is going to be remembered long after he has passed. Not to be morbid. But he’s going places. Technically knowledgeable, modern, and an artist through and through. Love listening to him analyse fragrances.
this man (ATH) is a frikkin genius was wearing celestia the other day (this was a special gift from aaron to loyal customers when he was starting out - never sold!) and i was loving it i request he brings back some of his older frags
7:35 Oh! Prada L'homme smells so good. So does Bleu de Chanel. I don't understand why people buy such expensive fragrances when there are such beautiful, mind relaxing, happy fragrances for way less.
Nothing in that list from house of Orto Parisi and Nassomato? :( I think Alessandro Gaultieri is doing one of the strongest fragrances in the business as well.
That would be awesome! I want to hear it dissected as well! Would love to hear some in-depth thoughts on it. It took me a few times before I understood what I was even smelling. So enchanting and natural- I was lost for a while, still kind of am, but seeing things more clearly as time goes on.
TBH the vintage formula of Dior Homme Parfum is probably my strongest powerful fragrance and I have Amouage Interlude too… One spray and that is enough for 24 hours +
Great video! But I'm curious if anyone else caught this: Aaron said there was one in the line of PDM that he did not enjoy. There's a video that Chris shot with Aaron in the past, and Aaron was repulsed at the smell of Carlisle 😮 It is amazing how on any given day we can smell things differently...though I do think Aaron is softening up with his candid evaluations 😊
noticed exactly the same. As you said on any given day things can smell differently and on top of that people evolve as well. Aaron is getting alot better in conversing what he is smelling too :)
Dude, lovin' the whole professional perfumer angle. Unique, and USEFUL. 👍 (BTW, love the channel title, but I'm thinking "mental" is not as colloquial here as in the the U.K.)
Might actually be a plus if a perfumer isn't really familiar with the top of the pops. Like Aaron mentioned, it's less noise. But I would imagine that it does increase the probability that one of their creations might be similar to others out there. Otherwise, it's best to stay in the zone. 💪
I swear, I had that exact same shirt in 1989. I loved it, a lot of happy memories. I'm not so happy that I'm so old that fashion is repeating itself, though!
Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco is so good though, its my favourite scent ever since i bought it 4 months ago. Cecilie Zarokain is so good at making perfumes.
I don't really get the confused as to why he doesn't know what other houses fragrances smell like. If he went around smelling other fragrances all the time there would undoubtedly be some influence, even if it's unintentional. He is trying to come up with things on his own, that way he's got the best chance of making them smell unique as he's taking the raw elements and putting them together until HE thinks they are perfect. Just like what he said at the end of the video, he's passionate about what he does and wants to make what he enjoys. Naturally I'm sure he's hoping that other people are going to enjoy it too, but I guess it's a risk anyone takes by trying to come up with an original fragrance.
Hi Chris! Do you have a recommendation for something I can use to add a little animalic edge to whatever perfume I'm wearing to increase the performance? Aaron used to have one called Animalix but unfortunately it's discontinued now :( thanks for your great work!
I bought carlisle at Xmas time, brand new from Flannels. I don’t get beast mode, I don’t get longevity, I haven’t had one single comment about it. Have they re-formulated?!?
Aaron's wholesome blind reaction to his own fragrance was such a profound moment, really highlights how much he enjoys and takes pride in what he does.
Also can’t handle healthy criticism
@@mattl7424 Why do you say that, out of interest?

Yeah he’s very fragile. He blocked me because I said onyx smells like a better version of noir de noir

This is not just a parfumer…this is Aaron Terence Hughes 🤩
❤❤❤
To be fair his videos are titled "perfumer rates..."
ATH the man
This ihs nut jurs ah pahfoomehr...thus uhs Haroon Turrwrense Whoos
Get off your knees
I love whenever Aaron makes an appearance!
He seems so shy compared to when he is by himself in front of the camera.
Awesome character.
When it’s my channel Aaron just leaves the presenting to me.
I find it to be somewhat endearing. He's come a long way in his art and business. Many people in his position wouldn't be so humble.
If I'm not mistaken I think he mentioned before about having Aspergers Syndrome.
I have it too so that stood out to me.
@@IIIllIllIII Makes sense. Lovely guy anyways
3:49 The smile is everything ✨. Chris, please let him know we love him coming on the show.
I love those ATH collaborations 👍 it's always a pleasure to watch you two together 😁
More videos with Aaron. His descriptions are unmatched and his fragrances are beyond words
I would love to see a series with Aaron where he dissects some master perfumers best works. Like 5-10 Alberto Morillas works etc.
Nothing makes me more happy to see a video of my favorite perfumer with you Chris. Big ATH fan 🦄
Performance is so important to me in a fragrance, excited for this 😍
I've recently gotten a bottle of Onyx Extreme, the longevity is incredible. It blows all other rose oud fragrances out of the water.

50 ml for 280$ I decided to get Luna instead

Glad you’re enjoying the vids Daniel 👍🏻
I'm a new fan, love the dynamic between these two and in love with ATH's sweet, gentle, humble, sensitive nature - you are both wonderful!
I hope you are fantastic and doing really well Mr Hughes
nice :)
Always good to see ATH on the channel, love his unique style and value his opinion.
I ain't buying if Ethel Maltol not whipping from the BACE 😂
It’s essential!
Aaron is such a genuine soul hope life carries him far
Always nice to have Aaron on the channel,
Would love too see him review some more mainstream/designer fragrances 😄
Thank you Chris and Aaron. 🙏🏻
ethyl maltol whipping through the base t shirt!

Thanks for including Royal Tobacco! Excellent choice
He was revolted by Carlisle in the video a few years and now he liked it!!
Exactly! He hated the top note 😅😅

It a shame his fragrances are shite
You’re doing a awesome job with these videos!!!
this man (ATH) is a frikkin genius
was wearing celestia the other day (this was a special gift from aaron to loyal customers when he was starting out - never sold!) and i was loving it
i request he brings back some of his older frags
Love this series.
Onyx Extreme was my last purchase. I enjoy it very much, aaron is a great perfumer!
Two of my favorites frag head in one video!! 👍👍👍
Daniel Craig meets Aaron ! Love this video , thanks for posting x
You can see Aaron truly loves his work, and is an artist at it. One day he will produce his masterpiece.
7:35 Oh! Prada L'homme smells so good. So does Bleu de Chanel. I don't understand why people buy such expensive fragrances when there are such beautiful, mind relaxing, happy fragrances for way less.
I picked up Gentle Fluidity Silver this week. Everyone is saying it’s beast mode but I find really soft 🤷♂️🤷♂️.
We love Aaron around here :' )
I like this guy and his hand movements lol this is what intrigued me to watch his channel.... Loved this video
B. You are gorgeous.
Nothing in that list from house of Orto Parisi and Nassomato? :( I think Alessandro Gaultieri is doing one of the strongest fragrances in the business as well.
Hey Chris, will you be reviewing Frederic Malle any time? Great video !
I look forward to these videos like a great dessert
I would love to hear you both talk about Boss Bitch from ATH…
That would be awesome! I want to hear it dissected as well! Would love to hear some in-depth thoughts on it. It took me a few times before I understood what I was even smelling. So enchanting and natural- I was lost for a while, still kind of am, but seeing things more clearly as time goes on.
6:51 all that vital description sold me in thinking he was interested.
"Ahhh do you like it?" "No."
Is hilarious
Great content. I vote for Nuit de Bakélite by Naomi Goodsir. Nuclear. I've set off several fire alarms wearing it.
Love this house. Bois d’Ascese is my favourite.
I love Aaron’s Grimy dirty smelling fragrances, there’s something quite addictive about them
the way Aaron breaks down and describes fragrances is perfection ... his words are honest.
Let him rate axe without him knowing
TBH the vintage formula of Dior Homme Parfum is probably my strongest powerful fragrance and I have Amouage Interlude too… One spray and that is enough for 24 hours +
Pardon by Nasamatto has that lasting power also. Seems to grow with time.
There is no vintage formula of DHP. The formula for 2014 and 2020 are still the same only batch changes.
@@bien9582 good info. I was unaware there was no reformulation between the two. Still is a monster and extremely potent juice!
Great review , interesting to see two amouage fragrances in there which is my overall favourite house .
Protect Aaron at all costs
Protect him from what? is he under fire for something?
I love this, both of you are amazing and this kind of videos put a smile on my face! Also, i was curious on Aaron's opinion on Diaghilev!
Your videos are always great Chris and big fan of your channel! ATH is brilliant and love his perspective
Great video and I enjoyed it and I like PDM CARLISLE and I'm going to try the other fragrances and have a blessed day
Cool video, always enjoy the team up of yous two 😊❤
Aaron has to reveal his skin routine. Incredible.
We love your channel great review! 🙌
Love you two together. Keep it up 👍
This is simply ART!
Great video! But I'm curious if anyone else caught this: Aaron said there was one in the line of PDM that he did not enjoy. There's a video that Chris shot with Aaron in the past, and Aaron was repulsed at the smell of Carlisle 😮

All the Pdm are vastly overpriced rubbish
noticed exactly the same. As you said on any given day things can smell differently and on top of that people evolve as well. Aaron is getting alot better in conversing what he is smelling too :)
Another one that can certainly make the list is Red Tobacco by Mancera. 🔥
Dude, lovin' the whole professional perfumer angle.
Unique, and USEFUL. 👍
(BTW, love the channel title, but I'm thinking "mental" is not as colloquial here as in the the U.K.)
🦄🦄🦄🦄
Best perfumer for me. Love love love these videos 🦄
@@ncpmadhead why what scents has he created that you think makes him the best ?Not one of his creations would get into the top 1000 scents of all time
I need that shirt that ATH is wearing! So dope.
Might actually be a plus if a perfumer isn't really familiar with the top of the pops. Like Aaron mentioned, it's less noise. But I would imagine that it does increase the probability that one of their creations might be similar to others out there. Otherwise, it's best to stay in the zone. 💪
Awesome vid but please do more then 6 fragrances next time 😁
24 gold and Bond no 9 I love New York for All are my strongest scents in my collection. Two sprays max
I swear, I had that exact same shirt in 1989. I loved it, a lot of happy memories. I'm not so happy that I'm so old that fashion is repeating itself, though!
Ehtyl motol whipping through the base 🤌
The videos with Aaron are Goat 🐐🔥💯🙏❤
Surprised we didn’t see Zaharoff Leather Tabac on this list.
Great and fun video, thanks guys!
Aaron didn't like Carlisle when he first smelled it in your channel, but now it was the best one for him . That's a great change
Unfortunately, Aaron's creations are not yet officially for sale in the Netherlands. i hope in the future❤ or I need to visit England soon 😊
Please bring aaron back and rate women fragrances..
Need a Farenheit review
Aarons nose is something else. Spot on.. love watching this
Bro literally hated Carlisle in one video but loves it in this one …
I was thinking the same thing
Batch variations 😂
Great video. Liked ATH's pick-up of his own scent. Got to check his stuff out...though it DO be pricey... :-)
Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco is so good though, its my favourite scent ever since i bought it 4 months ago.
Cecilie Zarokain is so good at making perfumes.
Always a good time with ATH! What molecule is depicted on his shirt?
Hi. Let him try Prada L`Homme edt . Aaron did not try this fragrance yet.
yes!!! love that idea :)
Aaron is a f maestro, i really enjoy his reviews :)
I can’t wait to try interlude 53 just bought black iris and I like just projecting is not great to me ?
best duo
But where’d you get that shirt for? Hopefully it’s not a UK only thing. What brand is that? Very sharp!

I’d really like to know which you would take the onyx or the onyx extreme?
Aaron has amazing sense of smell.
In an older video Aaron hates Carlisle but in this one he likes it.
It'd be interesting to understand why Aaron hated Carlisle the first time he reviewed it on your channel but now seems to enjoy it quiet a lot.
You guys should try megamare from orto parisi
What watch have u got on Chris?
Hold on.. didn’t he say he absolutely couldn’t stand PDM Carlisle in another video??
Yea he was disgusted 😂
It would be cool to do a Ath reviews your “top 10 most repugnant fragrances” and see how they hold up to his standards
This would be hilarious :) would love to see that- every single one is just brutal :) love it!
Hi Chris! Do you have a recommendation for something I can use to add a little animalic edge to whatever perfume I'm wearing to increase the performance? Aaron used to have one called Animalix but unfortunately it's discontinued now :( thanks for your great work!
Oud oil!
@@FRAGMENTAL Great stuff, thanks so much! Love the content!
He did speak to the difference in the perfumers for the two amouage...
Stronger with you amber is so damn strong its sticking in the room for 24 hrs after spraying
designer strongest next please 😊
Tell Aaron to read the comments again please I miss the interaction
Roja aka old classic French parfum in a fancy bottle at 200% price point
I bought carlisle at Xmas time, brand new from Flannels. I don’t get beast mode, I don’t get longevity, I haven’t had one single comment about it. Have they re-formulated?!?
Yes I believe they did a while back
Abolutely hate Royal Tobacco and love Carlisle!
surprised he liked carlisle seeing his opinion on it in the other videos
