I love the L'homme Ideal line of Guerlain (EDP, Extreme, Cool), but a 10/10 still surprised me. I'm going to try this one out. Hope you're staying safe and well, see you soon.
Guerlain is my favorite perfume house. Love their style, philosophy, and the respect they have for the art. Yet, I have not tried any from this particular range of theirs even though many people have raved about it. You have inspired me to move it up my list of "fragrances to sample." Looking forward to more reviews from this line.
Great review! I love Guerlain. Before I smelled my first Guerlain I also thought it would be outdated etc. Same reaction as you had after smelling Guerlain. Absolutely stunning perfume house.
Guerlain excels at "timeless and classic". You should look at their "L'Homme Ideal" line. I find that the EDT and Cologne are my favorites from the House. Many people prefer the EDP, but I think L'Homme Ideal EDT is the best in that line. Gurlain Homme and also L'Instant EDP are amazing as well. Another great review, Aaron.
Guerlain’s Santal Royal is their best seller from the oriental line that Ardent is from. They also came out this year with a middle eastern coffee fragrance called Epices Exquis.
This one ☝🏽 is very nice one from Guerlain. I have Santal Royal and Encens Mythique...... you need to try those 2. Very nice and elegant and classy house. Very good review.
Thanks Aaron for the lovely review, and no you butchering the name does not take away from the viewing experience. This is from the Les absolute d'orient line by Guerlain. Patchouli ardent is beautiful. My favourites are Santal Royal and Bois Mystérieux.
I have Bois Mysterieux and Encens Mythique . Both are masterpieces. The ambergris in Encens is out of this world always get compliments when we wear it. My daughter wears Bois Mysterieux and she loves it too.
Trigger warning..."old lady like"!!!!!!!! PC concerns aside what a wonderful open dynamic review, a few pre conceptions acknowledged and moved past, a lot of good vibes and positive vibrations and some glints of genuine enthusiasm. For a classic old patchouli fan like myself this is an invitation for an online browse with a view to a purchase. Topped off with the cherry on the cake being Aaron rocking an Alpha Industries NASA sweat top which I must admit had me bemused for a few moments. Life is sweet.
The entire Les Absolus d'Orient line from Guerlain is fantastic, high quality and classic but modern, I've tried all but Patchouli Ardent but was certainly interested in it when it was released. I trust your judgement! Your eyes lit up as soon as you smelled it, you should try some others from this line, as well as other classics. Thank you Aaron! 🦄
Guerlain was an old house. Now it's owned by LVMH. I enjoy the videos and I'm always tuning in but I simply don't care about these conglomerate fragrances. My support Aaron.
I am actually not surprised by your rating, even though I haven't got my nose on this one I am sure it's as beautiful as you say, wait until you smell the rest of the collection, I have three of them, Cuir Intense, Santal Royal and Ambre Eternel, they're all thick, resinous, sensual, mature and unapologetically animalic, absolutely fantastic.
Aaron, I love Guerlain fragrances. I have not tried Patchouli Ardent but I am going to the mall on Tuesday and I will try this fragrance. If you are rating the fragrance a 10, it must be great. I have great respect for your trained nose.
Awesome review! Hope to see you review more from the house. I don't mind seeing negative reviews either 🤣 but it's been a while since I've seen you give a 10! Cheers!
I find I'm not a big fan of patchouli-centric perfumes that try to balance out the dirty feel with clean/soapy vibes. Tom Ford's Patchouli Absolute does this too. I much prefer Santa Maria Novella's approach with their Patchouli that embraces the earthy/dirty feel and pushes it into damp, herbaceous territory.
Just discovered your channel, as I'm getting back into fragrance collecting. Love your reviews, energetic, entertaining, educational and informative 👍 going to give your creations a look and order some.
Hi Aaron thank so much for your content it is amazing to watch. Is it possible to do a video with your favourites summer fragrance please? Keep doing well 👍
I agree with you on this fragrance. Btw, Urban II Fake is really well done, my friend! Once you make your cinnamon/rum (side effect) fragrance, I think I can die happier
Don't ever apologise for the pronunciation of the French or Italian words. This is golden :) To be honest I always enjoy this part of your reviews. It gives it more of a personality 👌
Hi Aaron! Great review! Looking forward to spring ATH scents! Question: what is “pear” in perfume (chemical, molecule, accord, raw material, etc)? Why do perfumers use it? What function does it have when building a perfume?
Just got my bottle of Maverick. I've gotten a good response from the coworkers and my wife loves the plum note in it. The performance and projection are excellent. I do not often like fragrance with a dark fruity sweet sort of thing But Maverick sits right in the sweet spot of what I find palatable.
damn santal royal is gem. quite similar to egoiste by chanel but much more richier and projecting/long lasting. outstanding composition by thierry wassier
Okay, seeing this and knowing I have it on my shelf and proudly wearing it is great. My atomizer is problematic, but I don’t care. I learned the technique and I apply it without problem. Everyone who hesitate, get it. Everyone loves it! So pleasant, yet strong and inviting fragrance!
Buy a high quality atomizer (aluminum shell, glass inner vial, cut off opening in the aluminum shell to see the perfume level inside the glass with a bottom filling opening), and toss away the Guerlain atomizer, and just keep refilling your travel atomizer.
Something tells me this will hit the same spot to the liking that I have for creed Himalaya. Smokey sandalwood clean musks. SOLD 🤤 I love just the sound of this one !!! .
No need to apologize for how wonderful your creator made you my love! If someone is finding difficult to follow- they need to keep walking, you don’t need them. Ok ok! I haven been thinking of picking this up blindly after falling in love with Bois Mysterieux. I don’t like dirty earthy musty patchouli, seems this doesn’t lean dirty?
Must be good if it makes you "TINGLE" Please try .................Barrois Ganymede. its a great fragrance but still no where as good as Forbidden or Rose ..10/10
Aaron I love that you put real oud in your fragrances, but I'm not big on rose, personally. Do you have a fragrances that you would recommend to someone like me, somebody who loves oud but not rose?
My favorite house. So many classics: L’Instant de Guerlain EDP or EDT, Homme EDP, Homme L’eau Boiseé, Habit Rouge EDT, Heritage EDT, Vetiver, Ideal EDP, Ideal Cologne, … etc. Just incredible, man. Thank me later.
A 10/10!! I must get a sample 🙂 The only one I really like from this house is L'homme Ideal EDP (the cherry one), nearly finished a bottle with another 100ml on stanby 🤗
Hi Aaron - you last uploaded an "8 favorites of last year" video back in June 2021 and in the comments you said you planned to do one per 6 months? Is the next one coming out in June?
Guerlain is such a classy house. They have kept up with the times and they still deliver beautiful fragrances.. I've always loved their vetiver ❤️❤️🦄🦄
Was classy house, Guerlain sold his business, from now on Guerlain would be sticker on corporate creations.
You raised your eyebrows up a few seconds into smelling it. That told me everything. Love it, brother. Keep em coming
Mate, don't ever feel you need to apologise for being dyslexic 👊🏻
Why not

Glad to know Aaron approves! Guerlain Patchouli Ardent & Santal Royal are some of my favourites in my collection.
Me too, and Shalimar EDP no less
Finally a Guerlain again! Muchas gracias, mr. Hughes!!!
I know you fragrance channel but I watch you for ASMR, your voice and the pauses gives me tingles

@@mohkamaltaha smells incredible and amazing. Try and get it

Hey Aaron great video! I kinda missed your "engaged with your higher self..." its like a signature statement thats very cool! Have a great sunday!
I find this gentleman very charming.
The quality of Guerlain is excellent for this price. Compared to the equally priced Robot, galaxies are between them 🦄
Very well said.
Excellent review. I'm definitely picking up a decant. Thanks Aaron for introducing it to me 👍
Thanks Aaron for the lovely review, and no you butchering the name does not take away from the viewing experience.
This is from the Les absolute d'orient line by Guerlain.
Patchouli ardent is beautiful.
My favourites are Santal Royal and Bois Mystérieux.
Santal Royal and Oud Essentiel really love those. Will give this a sniff next week.
I have Bois Mysterieux and Encens Mythique . Both are masterpieces.
The ambergris in Encens is out of this world always get compliments when we wear it. My daughter wears Bois Mysterieux and she loves it too.
Thank you Aaron, great review brother. God bless.
Thank you Aaron. For your honesty and always very informative and education.
love your videos, and love your description of this fragrance!
Please review African Leather by Memo. Truly one the most unique fragrances I've ever smelled!
It's always nice when you find something you really enjoy in the reviews, I get to share a bit of your excitement and upbeat attitude!
Fabulous house. Great review as always.
aww man, you been missing out mate.
would definitely love to know you thoughts on Encens Mythique, Bois Mysterieux and Cuir Intense.
Please do the L’Homme Ideal Extreme too. 😍 lovely review as always. Definitely going to try this one.
What a great review and enthusiastic ! Great look too, Aaron. Bring the beard back : )
Fantastic review as always. Thank you.
Thanks for an amazing review!🙏🏻

Finally some Guerlain! Habit Rouge, Heritage and Vetiver. Cheers!
Im in love with this scent, absolutely enchanting
Santal royal by guerlain is the best from their range in my opinion
Compare to ombre nomade?

I trust your judgement! Your eyes lit up as soon as you smelled it, you should try some others from this line, as well as other classics. Thank you Aaron! 🦄
What a really lovely review. You really made me want to test this one out. Class act, I like your style. Bravo.
Guerlain was an old house. Now it's owned by LVMH. I enjoy the videos and I'm always tuning in but I simply don't care about these conglomerate fragrances.
My support Aaron.
I love it, it's the ultimate "dry" patchouli+rose combo.
No ethyl maltol whipping through the base on this one then I take it. I will have to get a sample ❤️🦄
I am actually not surprised by your rating, even though I haven't got my nose on this one I am sure it's as beautiful as you say, wait until you smell the rest of the collection, I have three of them, Cuir Intense, Santal Royal and Ambre Eternel, they're all thick, resinous, sensual, mature and unapologetically animalic, absolutely fantastic.

Guerlain has some beautiful classics. Great review to get tingles 😊
Hey Aaron! You say a lot about modern perfumery based on Iso E Super and hedione. What were they using mostly for the base before?
Was also wondering the same as well
Animalics I guess mostly
First Guerlain fragrance and it gets a perfect score. Off to a good start lol
Thanks Aaron
I will get it blindly and immediately....
Please review the others...

I must get my nose on this. I adore patchouli.
Your voice, btw, would be fantastic for story narration. Ever done it? ✨
I have Santal Royal from the same line and it's a beautiful fragrance.
Try Guerlain L'homme Ideal but the EDP version. Lovely and very well priced
Great review 👍 Guerlain is a very good fragrance house, they have something for everyone. I have to try that one, sounds interesting 🤔
Reminds me very much of Couer du Desert by Tauer...both really gorgeous.
More Guerlain please!
Hi Aaron thank so much for your content it is amazing to watch. Is it possible to do a video with your favourites summer fragrance please? Keep doing well 👍
Nice review Aaron. I hope you try the Arts and Materials line. Some of the best of the best fragrances in that line :-)
I agree with you on this fragrance. Btw, Urban II Fake is really well done, my friend! Once you make your cinnamon/rum (side effect) fragrance, I think I can die happier
Don't ever apologise for the pronunciation of the French or Italian words. This is golden :) To be honest I always enjoy this part of your reviews. It gives it more of a personality 👌
Aaron I love this one but PLEASE get your nose on Cuir Intense from the same collection - fruity leather floral madness x

Love Guerlain. I have the Santal Royal from this line, and may need to add this Patchouli to the collection.

Excellent reviews from you. Please review Epices Exquises by Guerlain
i bought santal royal off your review and its awesome, i will get at least a sample of this :)
Does it lean to feminine?
Something tells me this will hit the same spot to the liking that I have for creed Himalaya. Smokey sandalwood clean musks. SOLD 🤤 I love just the sound of this one !!! .
I love this one; it reminds me of portrait of a lady but more dense. That’s the best way I can describe it
Ooooh! A touch of ASMR ! ☺️
No need to apologize for how wonderful your creator made you my love!
If someone is finding difficult to follow- they need to keep walking, you don’t need them.
Ok ok! I haven been thinking of picking this up blindly after falling in love with Bois Mysterieux.
I don’t like dirty earthy musty patchouli, seems this doesn’t lean dirty?
Encens mythique is gorgeous as well. If you come across!!
Gee I guess I know what my next Guerlain purchase will be! Let the "bliss" begin!
I consider this fragrance as a masterpiece. Lov it ❤️
Must be good if it makes you "TINGLE"
Please try .................Barrois Ganymede. its a great fragrance but still no where as good as Forbidden or Rose ..10/10
Thank you!
For me best patchouli is Coromandel from Chanel
Please review Nightclubbing by Celine!! I’m on the fence about purchasing it because it doesn’t project as much! Just want to hear your thoughts.
Awesome Aaron
Aaron I love that you put real oud in your fragrances, but I'm not big on rose, personally. Do you have a fragrances that you would recommend to someone like me, somebody who loves oud but not rose?
Great fragrance and you can smell the fig in the dry down. Very unique yet timeless
Hello Aaron,
Would you recommend this fragrance for a particular season?
Thank you
Aaron, could you test some of Robert Piguet's?
Guerlain started paying you, lovely !
My favorite house. So many classics: L’Instant de Guerlain EDP or EDT, Homme EDP, Homme L’eau Boiseé, Habit Rouge EDT, Heritage EDT, Vetiver, Ideal EDP, Ideal Cologne, … etc.
Just incredible, man. Thank me later.
Please review Santal Royal from the same line!
I haven’t tried this one but the way you described it I want it Aaron lol 😂
A 10/10!! I must get a sample 🙂
The only one I really like from this house is L'homme Ideal EDP (the cherry one), nearly finished a bottle with another 100ml on stanby 🤗
Patchouli Ardent does however do not resemble anything from the Ideal line ;)
i'd be interested to hear your thoughts on
guerlain bois mysterieux
Finally Guerlain, please check out the Santal Royal =]
Where'd you get that nasa hoodie? Looks fresh!
Your the best reviewer there is. Full stop
Please try Versace blue jeans!(:
Thanks Aaron
please do Santa royal!
Oh forgot to ask, is this very rosey or rose dominant? Not a fan of rose fragrance. Is it Unisex as well?
Remarkable review
