Aaron, I tried to review your fragrances on your website. I couldn't find a spot to place one. Your fragrances are amazing. They last forever, pretty much till you wash them off. That being said. I lost my wife to cancer. I was lost for months after that. I then fo7nd you on this channel. You are so passionate and such a wonderful and genuine person. I know it sounds weird to say but you and your fragrances helped me through the terrible time.
So sorry for your loss. Fragrance has helped me too with personal loss. It is very comforting to share this hobby with others. The fragrance community is about enjoying fragrances together and I hope your journey brings you even more happiness brother. Cheers.
I've gotten Invictus and Polo BLue before but never gave it much thought. Since I got more into it, I've ordered 7 decants. Spicebomb Extreme is by far my favorite one of the bunch!
Bleu de Chanel parfum is my signature and I layer pure sandal Wood underneath. It’s amazing. Bit expensive but I’m a sucker for the combo. Also the parfum last the longest on my skin. Love the eau de parfum also
Keep more Aaron content coming. We love it! Maybe his preferences have changed? How about doing another updated video on your favourite niche fragrances?? Updated versions of the already made videoes. I mean there are SO many fragrance options and different possible videoes to make. Naxos, Alexandria 2, Elysium, Hacivat, Herod, Carlisle, Layton, Grand Soir, Reflection Man, Jubilation Man. And making him smell them blind is really what does it! Keep them coming!
ATH, you've already reviewed Wanted by Night and you really liked it. Surprised you don't remember, given the unique bottle design and quality of the scent.
Amazing video, I really agree with what you said about freshies. like Bleu de chanel or most of the fresh male designer fragrances, they don't last too long and its like they all smell the same.
Surprised about Aaron's reaction to DHI, given that it was one of the few 10's for him in his own video reviews. This aspect that he does not like in it was not mentioned in his own video (as far as I can remember, will double check.) I'm guessing this might be because of smelling it on the paper strip and not on skin, as it was the case with Spicebomb.
@@AnwarEissawe Ah didn't know this, makes sense. Consistent with what I remember from other reviewers saying they liked the newer DHI better than the original.
@@raulsaavedra709 The newer batches of DHI are a bit fresher and more versatile, there's a noticeable difference between lets say a 2014 batch and a 2021 batch which Aaron might have. So I don't blame him at all for not recognizing it *Also the bottle looks different from newer batches
At 16:45 Aaron says he has never worn it, when in fact he has reviewed it on his channel and one of the only fragrances he gave a 10/10 saying there is nothing he would improve upon it here: th-cam.com/video/guBACiqOfyU/w-d-xo.html Similarly for Oud Wood, he gave it a 7/10 in his review here: th-cam.com/video/RtxoNKfF8q8/w-d-xo.html Shows just how subjective these reviews and ratings can be.
I am slightly confused... In June 2021, Aaron reviewed Dior Homme Intense on his own channel, marked it a 10/10, and said he loved it and would not do anything to improve it.... so why now has he given a completely different review on it????
Yeah I also noticed this because he super loved it in his own video. I've also never smelled licorice in DHI but I HAVE smelled it in Sausage Elixir (and hated it)
Hi bro, thx for inviting aron again, hope next vedio about fragrance du Bois fragrances plzzzz😊 with aron, I want to know his impression 🙏, if its possible I will be so happy
Aaron is always impressive with his knowledge on fragrance. That being said, even more impressive is acting like he doesn’t know immediately what most of these scents are.
I love it how Aaron describes Eau Sauvage, he nails it with the blending, it's one of the best blended fragrances out there in my opinion. It's my goto for business meetings, it posses certain gravitas, serious stuff.
Aaron has really matured with his reviews and are now must viewed content if your a fragrance enthusiast even tho he doesn't like your favourites all the time. Loved the vid Chris
I dont know how you guys relationship are with Jeremy Fragrance, but I would love to see you two with him in a video. I love the way this guy describe these fragrances. Very powerful.
I adore Oud Wood; it is my favourite Tom Ford PB. It is expensive but it’s 10/10 for me, too. I’d like to add that Tom Ford PB is not designer for me - it’s far too expensive. I have the body wash too lol. Also Chanel Bleu is my favourite designer fragrance, too.
more over that was the pre2020 DHI, which has a strong vinegar smell due to the high dose of ambrette seed note/musky accord which makes the pre riformulated a little unbalaced. the new one is all throu iris accord / powdery accord / pear sweet accord and cedar accord in the base, all really balanced
After watching like every fragrance video and getting bored, I found this gem of a video and the boredom completely lifted. Make mode videos with this guy!!!
Just blind bought Eau Sauvage based solely on TH-camr descriptions, it's the perfect time of year with the coffee months to wear it. I've aged into it and find myself nearly over spraying every time I wear it!
Bleu De Chanel is strong to me. It smells like Soapy Iris and Rosemary or something. I can't pick out the ingredients like he does, but it kind of burns my nose. If I wear it, I use one spray and not near my face or neck.
I consider the TF Private blend niche perfumery. If you look up the definition of niche, it is most certainly a niche category in the fragrance market.
Aaron mentioned something about some types of ingredients not lasting very well on his skin. I would love to know more about that, because quite often I find fragrances become skin scents very quickly on mine. I would love to be able to better predict which ones might work for me. Are there any vids or sites you could recommend?
I have wanted by night great fragrance. Sometimes mix it with other citrusy fragrance and works even better. Once with paco rabanne xs. Try blend it with others like eau sauvage etc..
Great video, and of course a smashing list! For whatever reason, I've never smelled Wanted by Night but have always intended to. All the others are loves for me.
Great video! You have a nice vibe together. I’m a new subscriber and I’m really enjoying your videos especially with guests. Im curious which perfumes do you find irresistible on women? Maybe this could be a new idea for a video? 😉
the perfume of Chanel version is nothing different after an hour as the edp, it ends again very sharp unfortunately. For a moment it has rich depth and sweetness but doesn't last long just ends up as the etp then you might as well buy edp and it's cheaper too
I watch Aaron's channel he's bloody good at picking up every single note and araroma chemical in a fragrance, I guess it's a skill a perfumer has but it's difficult for the average guy who loves fragrances like me to comprehend how he can do that, I can pick up some basic stuff like this is fresh and blue style and that is woody and this other has leather and this is darker this is sweet this is musky this is fresh etc but no way can i identify a aroma chemical that makes a fragrance push out or makes a fragrance stable or a fixative that latches onto the skin or how a fragrance will dry down and how it will last etc, its fascinating to see him doing this and its also good in a informative way giving us an idea of what we are going to get before spending our money on a fragrance 👍 top man Aaron and great video
Hi Chris. I really look forward to your videos with Aaron. Your favourite designer fragrances are spot on. I would add Valentino Uomo Intense but it has a lot of similarities to DH Intense. Terre d'Hermes EDT also holds special memories for me. An instant love. I had never smelt anything quite like it. I actually picked up TF Oud Wood last month in the Next VIP sale of all places and at a fantastic price. I got the last 50ml bottle. I don't think that Next realises that TF fragrances are rarely heavily discounted. It'll be a while before I get to properly wear it in Autumn/ Winter but glad to have it in my collection.
Chris and Aaron... Fantastic video. Aaron... You have an amazing nose... Fantastic judge on notes. Kudos to you... I wish I could try out your fragrances someday. ✌
I wanted to say a massive difference between strip and skin but I think at least a good amount of difference when trying to pick up notes blindly and assess it.
I tried explaining to my friend how hydro mercinal gives off different vibes when it’s flipped-and the looks I got in return, were not worth the explanation. Haha I’ll have to keep my ATH binge watching experiences to myself I see
Aaron, I tried to review your fragrances on your website. I couldn't find a spot to place one. Your fragrances are amazing. They last forever, pretty much till you wash them off. That being said. I lost my wife to cancer. I was lost for months after that. I then fo7nd you on this channel. You are so passionate and such a wonderful and genuine person.

I've lost both friends and family to cancer. I wish you well and hope you find peace.
So sorry for your loss. Fragrance has helped me too with personal loss. It is very comforting to share this hobby with others. The fragrance community is about enjoying fragrances together and I hope your journey brings you even more happiness brother. Cheers.
Sorry for your loss.
Thanks for sharing mate.
My condoleance.
Thank you for introducing Aaron to us, he's the best thing I found on youtube in years!
Agreed! Aaron and Chris are both amazing TH-camrs that constantly put out high quality content🙌
Facts
Agree! Just found him on here last night. Binge watching all his videos & definitely will be trying his fragrances!
I like that he distinguishes what HE likes and what is nonetheless HIGH QUALITY.

No doubt
I've gotten Invictus and Polo BLue before but never gave it much thought. Since I got more into it, I've ordered 7 decants. Spicebomb Extreme is by far my favorite one of the bunch!
@@EssenceOfTranceı am not happy with the performance of the Spicebomb extreme what about you?
I got spice bomb extreme noir extreme and versace dylan blue as my first fragrances

PLEASEEE, LET HIM RATE MORE DESIGNER FRAGRANCES BLINDLY I LOVE YOUR SYNERGY IN VIDEOS!!!
Really enjoy these collaborations with Aaron.
Thanks guys.
its always amazing watching Aaron rate fragrances, truly a master of his craft. Awesome vid Chris!
Aaron is incredible. Hes like a living laboratory. Amazing ability with picking out notes. Awesome vid.
I love the way that he paid attention to every single detail in those fragrances.
Right? It's almost like you can see the gears turning in his head
@@FourJaysFour exactly
please invite Aaron more often. hes just lovely!
I love that he addresses the price when giving out a score, because no matter what we all think, it IS important for the judgement.
I could honestly listen to Aaron talk about fragrances all day. He is a fragrance genius. Great video as always guys
Wow Chris! Awesome collab again!! AARON WAS SPOT ON ONCe AGAIN!!! Thanks guys keep it up!!!!
Aaron seemed to change his mind when he tried Dior home intense on skin fairly recently! He gave a 10/10
I think he didnt like the parfum?
Speaking of the man! I'm rocking ATH Neon today. The entire house is steller
Bleu de Chanel parfum is my signature and I layer pure sandal Wood underneath. It’s amazing. Bit expensive but I’m a sucker for the combo. Also the parfum last the longest on my skin. Love the eau de parfum also
I love your collaborations. Please, keep them coming💙
This is hands down one of the best series' on YT! I love hearing Aaron's expert insight to all kinds of frags. Please keep it up guys! ❤
Keep more Aaron content coming. We love it!
Maybe his preferences have changed?
How about doing another updated video on your favourite niche fragrances??
Updated versions of the already made videoes.
I mean there are SO many fragrance options and different possible videoes to make.
Naxos, Alexandria 2, Elysium, Hacivat, Herod, Carlisle, Layton, Grand Soir, Reflection Man, Jubilation Man. And making him smell them blind is really what does it! Keep them coming!
The videos with Aaron are just sublime! Keep em coming
ATH, you've already reviewed Wanted by Night and you really liked it. Surprised you don't remember, given the unique bottle design and quality of the scent.
I loved this collaboration, the format - everything. Anything with Frag-mental and ATH is worth watching 💯 I demand a Christmas special collaboration!
Their collab is one of my favorite to-watch videos on youtube!! 👏
Missed the Ethol Molto whipping through the base there Aaron. Still a great vid guys thanks
Always look forward to these videos!
I love how Aaron immediately identified the Tom Ford, that made me chuckle/smile too!
Another great vid with Aaron. Too right about the french perfumery vibe. I've learned to spot it more and more myself.
Yes it somehow has that classy French “chic” baked in.
I love these collabs with Aaron
Amazing video, I really agree with what you said about freshies. like Bleu de chanel or most of the fresh male designer fragrances, they don't last too long and its like they all smell the same.

I'm guessing this might be because of smelling it on the paper strip and not on skin, as it was the case with Spicebomb.
exactly what i thought...
He also acted like he never heard of spicebomb extreme here but he reviewed it himself. Can never tell when people are full of it anymore.
Also the one he smelt here was an older batch, he reviewed a recent one
That might be the reason he thought it was different
@@AnwarEissawe Ah didn't know this, makes sense. Consistent with what I remember from other reviewers saying they liked the newer DHI better than the original.
@@raulsaavedra709 The newer batches of DHI are a bit fresher and more versatile, there's a noticeable difference between lets say a 2014 batch and a 2021 batch which Aaron might have.
So I don't blame him at all for not recognizing it
*Also the bottle looks different from newer batches
Aaron's knowledge of fragrance is intriguing. Real nice manner about him. Cool guy! Great video. High quality. Smooth.
Cheers Warren 👍🏻
At 16:45 Aaron says he has never worn it, when in fact he has reviewed it on his channel and one of the only fragrances he gave a 10/10 saying there is nothing he would improve upon it here: th-cam.com/video/guBACiqOfyU/w-d-xo.html
Similarly for Oud Wood, he gave it a 7/10 in his review here: th-cam.com/video/RtxoNKfF8q8/w-d-xo.html
Shows just how subjective these reviews and ratings can be.
he changed his mind on all those perfumes when he was paid...no real review is ever uploaded.
Best series on TH-cam imo. More of this please.
He never misses. I just find it amazing how does someone do it blindly..
I am slightly confused... In June 2021, Aaron reviewed Dior Homme Intense on his own channel, marked it a 10/10, and said he loved it and would not do anything to improve it.... so why now has he given a completely different review on it????
It's on a tester strip here
Maybe it’s an older formulation of DHI? Really not sure as he has never mentioned the licorice note befofe
Yeah I also noticed this because he super loved it in his own video. I've also never smelled licorice in DHI but I HAVE smelled it in Sausage Elixir (and hated it)
Because he’s pretentious AF.
He reviewed Wanted by night on his channel a year ago and he said he’s never seen it before.
Rocking Notorious just for me, one of the coziest fragrances ever, Love the collaborations, could watch the 2 of you all the time, very relaxing :)
When spicebomb extreme drys down it's amazing 🤯
Hi bro, thx for inviting aron again, hope next vedio about fragrance du Bois fragrances plzzzz😊 with aron, I want to know his impression 🙏, if its possible I will be so happy

Aaron has really matured with his reviews and are now must viewed content if your a fragrance enthusiast even tho he doesn't like your favourites all the time. Loved the vid Chris
Always love to hear from Aaron, please keep doing these collab videos.
I dont know how you guys relationship are with Jeremy Fragrance, but I would love to see you two with him in a video. I love the way this guy describe these fragrances. Very powerful.
Learn so much from these reviews. Azzaro wanted by Night a great all rounder for guys. 👍
I adore Oud Wood; it is my favourite Tom Ford PB. It is expensive but it’s 10/10 for me, too. I’d like to add that Tom Ford PB is not designer for me - it’s far too expensive. I have the body wash too lol. Also Chanel Bleu is my favourite designer fragrance, too.
What do you think about Versace - Oud Noire instead of Tom Ford - Oud Wood? It's about 1/3 of the price.
Aaron actually have reviewed Dior Homme intense and gave it 10/10 maybe because of the test strip he gave it 8 in this video.
more over that was the pre2020 DHI, which has a strong vinegar smell due to the high dose of ambrette seed note/musky accord which makes the pre riformulated a little unbalaced. the new one is all throu iris accord / powdery accord / pear sweet accord and cedar accord in the base, all really balanced
i know rightt ,i watched that vid. he was kinda blown away with it haha. he also love bdc parfum, weird he cant tell . paper strips sucks really
The 2020 DHI is superior and more wearable in my opinion. That’s the one ATH gave 10/10 on his own channel.
@@henkkman exactly
@@henkkman agree
After watching like every fragrance video and getting bored, I found this gem of a video and the boredom completely lifted. Make mode videos with this guy!!!
Always a pleasure and privilege to watch you two together ☺️ 👌👍🙏
Just picked up a bottle of Azzaro Wanted by Night and man.....I been missin out‼️
Just blind bought Eau Sauvage based solely on TH-camr descriptions, it's the perfect time of year with the coffee months to wear it. I've aged into it and find myself nearly over spraying every time I wear it!

Love the collabs! Been watching more and more of aaron. Great content both!
It's always good seeing you both together. Big hugs to you, Chris!
Cheers Javier, hope Toronto is treating you well!
Love to see both of you collaborating. By the way, where is your accent from, Chris? Big hug.
absolutely love those type of videos with Aaron too..you're the reason im gonna buy azarro haha
Great video with Aaron knows exactly what’s up and I’m getting wanted by night and Dior homme intense tank you.
I consider the TF Private blend niche perfumery. If you look up the definition of niche, it is most certainly a niche category in the fragrance market.
great episode thumbs up enjoyed this type of video with Aaron.
Great seeing Aaron with you, he's has such a great deal of knowledge to share and both of you are honest with your opinions. Can't wait to see more!

Great video gentlemen. Love you two!
I agree with spicebomb being a skin fragrance. I can Spray it all over my clothes and barely smell it but it projects 10x more off my skin
Bleu de Chanel too
How does skin *tone affect performance of a fragrance? I feel that's what he was getting at around 7:10
The best duo on TH-cam!!
Always enjoy these videos!
Thanks man!
Salvatore Ferragamo Subtil also has Lotus in it I think and it's pleasant enough but doesn't last 2 hours
Great video, and of course a smashing list! For whatever reason, I've never smelled Wanted by Night but have always intended to. All the others are loves for me.
Hey Terry, always great to see a comment from you!
Great video! You have a nice vibe together. I’m a new subscriber and I’m really enjoying your videos especially with guests.
Im curious which perfumes do you find irresistible on women?
Maybe this could be a new idea for a video? 😉
Great vid! Btw Blue de Chanel parfum is waaaaaayyy over 100 of any currency..
Thank you for placing a photo of Fragrance on screen unlike other TH-cam’s that wiggle bottle around their wrist then put it below the frame. 👍🏻

Great video. Thanks Chris and Aaron.
Great to see you together sharing impressions from time to time , Chris-Aaron. My recognition
Chris and Aaron... Fantastic video.
Aaron... You have an amazing nose... Fantastic judge on notes.
Kudos to you... I wish I could try out your fragrances someday. ✌
Can we please please please get a video of Aaron’s top 10/ 10 favourite fragrances please this guy is a genius !!
The technicalities of Aaron are insane. Love hearing a master of his craft breakdown everything, you learn a lot. Keep up the great 👍 collabs.
Strange that he said he doesn't know Wanted by Night. He did a review about it last year on his channel
You should set up a shared channel or something. I love these collabs
ATH is in the presence of greatness
More like this., please. Thank you and Aaron. This is so entertaining. 😎
Any way we can please get Smoulder back in stock? I missed out when it was available : (
Dior intense actually reminds me of Ath's Homme, but in my view his comes off better
Homme is WAY more smooth, since he uses iris butter. Solid point
I love the critical DNA notes commentary,if got a detailed view on these fragrances
These videos are freaking gold!
Interesting thoughts about Dior homme intense given you rated it a 10 in your review video 😅 wonder how much was due to the strip?
I wanted to say a massive difference between strip and skin but I think at least a good amount of difference when trying to pick up notes blindly and assess it.
I tried explaining to my friend how hydro mercinal gives off different vibes when it’s flipped-and the looks I got in return, were not worth the explanation. Haha I’ll have to keep my ATH binge watching experiences to myself I see
I think you mean Dihydromyrcenol. 😉 All these technical names in perfumery are an art unto themselves! 😄
@@DarlingNikki2 yup that’s the one!! And yes i never thought I’d be looking at the ingredients on the back of the boxes and actually understand them 🤣
I think Aaron was given the wrong test strip for Dior Homme Intense - the notes he describes seems that of TF Oud Wood.
Great video. Thank you for enjoyable fragrance. Aaron is an excellent perfumer..
Really enjoyed this Chris 👌🏼✌🏻
Thanks Tony!
