    Aaron, I think your bright background is alright. 😉 But the dark background suits you much better. I think a dark background really reflects your passion for fragrances. I know it sounds weird. 🤪

    It’s funny - I know you’re not the biggest fan of this fragrance, and it’s certainly generic and derivative but it will always have a place in my heart. It was the first fragrance that made me go “oh wow”, and kicked me off on a fragrance journey that has led me to becoming a hobbyist perfumer. For that I will always be grateful for this one!

    This is my favourite Perfume & I'm so glad finally someone with knowledge spotted the fact that although the base is similar to Creed, it still has it's own character.
    When I compared it with Aventus, it lasted longer plus it still keeps that fresh woody smell after hours however Aventus becomes more sweet and gradually disappears.
    Thank you for your video.

    Hey, you remastered the old, scuffed Explorer video! It was so good in its own right, but the way you do things now is so much more informative and contemplative. I won't lie and say that I don't kind of miss the old semi-ranty style, but I'm still really glad you're looking back at the old stuff with a more analytical and mature perspective. Can't wait for the direct comparison video!

    The background change is interesting and different, and hair change is very cool. We all get in our comfort zones, the black background is all of ours, I read that you'll go back to it due to location which is great. There _is_ something more dramatic about the dark that suits you, but again, occasional change is all good. Very interesting/neat cut to the hair, hope you're well, cheers!

    Montblanc Explorer is brilliant. I directly compared it to Creed Aventus and both myself and my wife couldn't tell the difference between them. I own a 200ml bottle after instantly buying it when I smelt it on a colleague. (Not that I wanted to smell the same as them, just it was the best, strongest scent I think I've ever smelt!). Performance, sillage, everything is great on it, it's clean and fresh and woody and masculine. It works in pretty much all situations, all year around. I would literally rate it 10/10, and I have hundreds of pounds worth of fragrances. I would say it suits a man aged 30+.

    • @troypeylouret
      @troypeylouret 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Aaron,
    I recently received your sample set. After a 48 hour testing I'm confident that Haze, Daddy, Guapo, Boss Bastard and High Voltage will be in my rotation. This is saying a lot because I usually only connect with 1 or 2 fragrances from a house. The only other house I have bought multiple style fragrances is Tom Ford.
    Having said that theres one fragrance in particular that grabbed my attention.
    Hard Candy.
    After reading your description I decided to give it a proper run instead of assuming it would be too sweet.
    I grabbed my sample of Hard Candy and went into my room. It was nighttime so the mood was set. I turned on the blacklight and turned on the soundtrack to Charlie and the chocolate factory.
    I closed my eyes took a healthy inhalation of Hard Candy after two sprays.....
    I opened my eyes just as Mr. Wonka himself started to speak
    "Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination"
    Hard Candy is an absolute masterpiece, Mr. Hughes.
    I then went to purchase a few bottles and it appears sold out as it was a limited run...
    Is there any chance you can do another run of Hard Candy? Otherwise Hard Candy will remain a mere whisper to my senses.
    Hair looks great, btw🦄👍

    LOL You look younger here! :D
    This is a citrus-acid white musk and smoke bomb cloying bomb.
    For $40 bucks on Discounters it's a good frag, but it's cloying in the high heat. Suppose to be an Aventus clone.
    Aventus is much smoother and tame with the citrus-acid, and Patchouli comes into play in the Bottom Dryoff.
    I smelt a girl walk past me corporate Downtown wearing it, and for some reason i just find it tacky.
