The way he said I will upset and trigger loads of people straight away when he smelt the Creed Aventus made me think he knew already which perfume was it.
@@HellGod67 @HellGod67 I am not even a fan of creed fragrances besides Millésime Impérial, he just seems to hate everything that doesn't smell like fecal.
@@blackcat6508 you got a point, he's just got that too subjective, personal taste. Sometimes you need to admit a fragrance is good by its quality, altho it doesn't belong to your personal taste.
As a person who’s just starting to take interest in fragrances, it’s so interesting to see passionate fragrance heads react distastefully to fragrances they’re bored of. I’ve often heard, everybody smells of this, everybody smells this 3 times a day, it’s boring... when reality is, the vast majority of people don’t wear fragrances. Dont know Creed Aventus or Bleu de Chanel etc... there’s actually a pretty small portion of the population that does indeed actually recognize fragrances let alone smell popular ones so frequently they actually can’t stand to smell it any longer. I do understand they have their own preferences and experiences... just interesting. 🤔
Same here ! It’s fascinating how we get into this culture and try to get creative or unique, but in the end...none of my friends know parfum de Marly or Maison Francis Kurdijans and they all love my sauvage Dior 🤷🏽♂️it’s not that deep lol
SpleenTv totally agree. I think if you move beyond axe body spray and have a concept for what occasion different fragrances work best within, you’re not wearing so much it’s offensive... I think we’re doing just fine at that point lol.
It's like anyone who has a passion for something that mainstream audiences have access to. Some people are fine drinking Jack Daniels...whiskey enthusiasts will find it boring. With people in love of fragrances, they're constantly after the next thing that makes them go "whoa." Even before I really got into fragrances, I found many scents that fragheads love to be extremely boring. Where ATH lays, he wants something that'll blow his mind. Creed is not that brand. Creed is more of the understated elegance.
Rusty Shackleford totally agree and not arguing any of those points. I’m drawing a distinction that what’s being said here is “everybody smells that way, everybody’s sick of that smell” which is a massive exaggeration. Maybe I’m being too particular with words and what they mean is “everybody in the frag community”... but the blanket statement was way off if you’re actually talking in the real sense. Very few people are even actively interested in fragrances.
Unless he's a total fraud (and I don't think he is) he would instantly know his own line because he actually creates his fragrances and doesn't just slap his name on the bottle. I would like to see him review something like Secretions Magnifique and Tropic of Capricorn to see if his reaction is as visceral as most other people LOL.
@@brian95240 Yes, I watched it and his reaction was far less horrified than other people. He was more or less just 'meh', 'bleh' about it, but it didn't send him to the floor LOL. I think one of his worst was with Creed Iris Tuberose and Kilian Woman in Gold--he looked to be in physical pain from those.
Whether or not I agree or disagree with Aaron, I hope he stays brutally honest as he is always because it's really refreshing to see someone who speaks his mind publically in this day and age.
Me too! He’s even gone as far as to prevent bully’s online (if he can get their IP address) from purchasing his products. He also won’t pay for reviews or ads, only wanting people that he feels are honest and kind to review his products. So refreshing
Amen to that. Ashton from Gents Scents does a superb job at being fair; he simply calls it as he smells it. If a fragrance smells bad, he'll tell you in a heartbeat.
The dynamic between Aaron and Chis is great. Aaron is dropping bombs and Chis is keeping even keel, not influencing the guest. The realness of Aaron's opinions is refreshing. We like what we like and it's healthy to disagree.
These videos are getting more and more beautiful...it is clearly seen Aaron being more and more comfortable expressing his informative mastery feelings.... Thanks again Mr. Orchestrator..."Chris" for such enjoying video special exclusive ideas.....
I think Aaron is a genius, a real independent mind that puts a real value into the art of making perfumes. Some of the best perfumers like to be independent and hate how companies push them to create "stuff that sells". The blind test is amazing, what a nose!!!! Keep on doing this!!!
That makes zero sense. This man saying it sucks isn't going to bring their entire business down, in fact more like the other way around, people deem Aventus the king of fragrances and this guy talking so deep and spiritual with all these external factors that don't contribute to the fragrance then deeming Aventus rubbish looses him credibility then all his deep talk sounds like BS. At least Jeremy Fragrance knows what is a crowd pleaser despite his own personal opinions.
I feel the same way about music a musician can drop an album that he dedicated a lot of time on & it puts his name on the map then he gets a record deal & the quality really drops for the second album because it is rushed & theres deadlines as far as studio time & release dates so I totally know what he means about the fragrance game & things being rushed
CaLi Reviews but like Eminem’s latest album. I’m picking up scents of dog shit, lack of motivation, with top notes of not giving a fuck about the music anymore
It would be interesting to hear what he thinks of Imaginary Authors since their fragrances tell a story and they aren’t all necessarily as wearable as they are an art form.
I would like to know Aarons opinion about popular designers like Dolce Gabbana The One edp, Acqua di gio profumo, Azzaro wanted by night or even jpg ultra male
@Sandblock Bass I first had EDT and noticed that problem. Got the EDP and was better in my work n life cos I m a driving instructor. Not a loud perfume and keeps on my skin for 8hrs-10hrs
"He is going to give us an quick opinion on each of them"😂.. There is no such thing as a "quick opinion" when Aaron Terence Hughes is in town. Awesome! Keep up the great work guys!
This made my day, I been wondering for years why I always read so many good commenst bout Creed in forums, but everytime i smell one I just cant feel any exitement.
Loved Aarons way of explaining what he thinks about the colognes. There is no better review then when someone just expresses their emotions to a smell and helps you see the vision that he is seeing in his mind.
I loved this video! Aaron appears to have a sort of Synaesthesia where all of his senses are used after smelling a fragrance - similar to when a smell reminded him of blue. Aaron himself mentioned a sort of dyslexia but it’s so much more than that and he’s doing himself a disservice. This is the kind of person I’d like to watch describing perfumes.
I guess there goes the idea that Creed uses all-natural high-quality ingredients... I feel like the Creed family has scammed me on pricing in some sort of way.
I could watch Chris and Aaron do videos like this all day! Aaron is amazing! The energy and overall feeling he conveys when he goes into his "scent space" is other worldly! You can feel when he is transported elsewhere as he inhales and exhales each fragrance. Great video as always! 😎 Chris: "Cows in the field." Aaron: " There's no cows in the field." 🤣🤣🤣
I really like that Aaron liked green Irish tweed, but I think it’s much less of a ‘blue’ fragrance, but more of an absolute Irish fragrance. I wish I could explain it better but it just reminds me of Ireland (I’ve never even been there!). It feels like people in the 90s, wearing woolen overcoats across a very watery garden. The garden is bright green, and there’s a brook close by. It’s very weird, I’m normally to the point and can objectively comment on the notes , but the GIT blend is just too divine for me
Classic, conservative, manly fragrances are not Aaron's cup of tea, Shocker!!! He knows his trade but I aint taking fragrance recommendations from this guy.
Yeah Man.... I don't trust this guy... He's way too dramatic for a bottle of juice and feels more off from a manly character.... Versace The Dreamer better than almost every perfume mentioned above... but Aventus and green Irish Tweed are good too...
Taha Adnan Aaron is an artist, perfumery is an art as much as it is a science and that’s where most of us who are just fragrance enthusiasts fall short of understanding the true nature behind perfumery. It’s not about getting compliments, it’s not about what fragrance is beast mode or not or what is a banger, it’s about getting to the heart of the craft. To listen to someone who is so excited about keeping true to perfumeries true form is refreshing. He makes very valid points in that Creed is very, very money-driven in their approach to creating compositions. It’s about emotional and spiritual connections with a fragrance, something that blows your hair back. Whether you will want a recommendation from him is one thing but to say he’s too dramatic is short sighted. If you listen to any master perfumer, most of which I can guarantee have crafted some of the fragrances you all wear, they all speak similarly to the craft as Aaron does
@@scentmemories1047 You know! I know! Why we wear perfumes, okay? We don't need all the crap you wrote. More than 80% of people they wear perfumes to smell good. Whatever he is trying to say is not our business because he seemed like he is talking to a students in perfumery school, when in fact I truly believe he is not qualified for that.
OdorVitae I think he’s very fake and always wants to sell his own perfumes. If you try Aaron’s sample box it’s pretty bad, my wife and myself both disliked all but one, blood orange.
@@Peter-tc3ep I personally don't find him fake. I think he has very particular tastes in fragrance. He doesn't seem to go for classic fragrances which many of these are. I think he would much prefer houses like Zoologist who are much more daring in their releases. I am sure he wants to sell his fragrance line but I haven't once even seen him mention where or how to buy them in any of these videos so I don't think he comes across as putting down other fragrances just to sell his own stuff.
Chris...astonish video. Hey Aarón...We aprecciate very much your poetry and sensibility... You gave us an enourmes lesson...about how to explaing what we feel and think.
And what I find so interesting is how triggered Creed anti-fans can get. Resentment and contrarionism is powerful. It's funny how just the name "Creed" can push those buttons.
I like when Aaron describes his thoughts and feelings, and all the technical details of a perfume's construction. That´s what I enjoy the most about his comments. The more he talks, the more I understand the essence of a perfume. So, don't just say 'boring' or 'I don't like' - keep talking, Aaron!
I have warmed to you Aron. Your opinions are from the heart, not from a cash register. You both come across well together. Thanks for a great channel. Love to learn of Aarons fave male frags. :)
Sorry second comment for the same video.. You tell that man that I ordered a sample of black orchid bc of his excitement for it and or blew my mind... It is the weirdest most beautiful thing I have ever smelled! My love from Greece!
thanks Aaron for being honest. It has been really enlightening. I find the brainy part of fragrance interesting and i think it helps us to appreciate the art of it....thanks for bringing this series out!!!!
@Matthew Davies I think that's a fair point, Matthew. I don't want to come across as hating Aventus, either. It's a pleasant fragrance but I simply do not get the hype around this at all. I can't tell you how many times I've sprayed this on me waiting (wanting) to fall in love with it like 80 percent of the people I see commenting on RUclips, but it just never happens. My reaction is always "meh...that's nice." To be absolutely honest, I think I have that reaction to most Creed fragrances. The only one I own is Green Irish Tweed, and there are days I have the same reaction to that. 😄What I like about Aaron's reviews is that he also takes into account the price of a fragrance when giving his overall opinion. I think he's stated that there are many fragrances that he would have recommended if they had been priced lower, even though they might not be what he himself would like or wear. Cheers!
Honesty with wisdom. Aaron, you laid Aventus bare. I fear for your insights may be punished by one means or another. If you post your own label on this site, I will attempt honor your honesty with a purpose and a purchase too.
I really never like creed aventus that much. the fresher creeds are super great, but it doesn feel like 230 euro worth. more like 180 euro for 100ml. but the Green irish tweed is by far the best soapy fregrance.
Thank you so much for this! The two of you have very different personalities and sometimes even taste in perfumes but are so good together, love watching all of these kind of reviews!!🙏🏼
18:37 "I think it's an 8 because the chemist has done a really good job, but I rate it a 3 because I know what the marketing would be behind it." What kind of fragrance advice is that? It would actually be more useful if Aaron could move beyond his own personal style as the ultimate barometer.
Really good... So many funny examples that makes Aaron so different and unique. I laughed a few times but honesty is out of this world. Congratulations to both of you and keep the good work on the channel and partnership. 5⭐
The look on Chris’s face is priceless when Aaron gives his opinion on Viking and du Portugal 😆. I think they’re his favorites of Creed. First time watched this video was when it came out I was just getting into fragrances, didn’t know Aaron or Creed. I can see it from a different perspective now.
Hes biased cause he has his own brand. Its easy to love your own creation and bash others, narcisstic nature (he mentioned that he never loved a person), what can you expect?
Jac Jacy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you are so right. I dont hate the man but he comes off a bit weird. (I dont Care what he says about perfumes) his behaviour is freakin weird.
Ive seen him give beautiful reviews of other brands.🤷♀️ I think he is just really passionate about fragrance and its more of an art. Some people are just more in touch with how things vibrate too. I feel like he does just that. 💜
@@ritayoung4752 he still fake his follower count on instagram and youtube by buying bot followers. Which is kinda cheating. Don't think this guy has dignity.
Aaron is such a breath of fresh air. I love it!! Please let him know he should just speak his mind and just ignore whoever is offended and is being defensive about their fav fragnances being picked apart i think there is so much beauty in honesty!
Love these videos. Please, do a video with him smelling women’s perfumes. I want to hear his opinions about houses like Guerlain, Jo Malone, Dior, YSL, Chanel, etc.
Buy them! One person, a perfumer at that, who continually bashes a fragrance that is amazing and popular such as Creed Aventus,…always has an agenda. Take opinions, including mine, with a grain of salt.
I'm late to the party but this was just great stuff. ATF's presence, insight on fragrance, reminds me of me as I am with music. His brutally educated outlook on Creed, especially Creed, and fragrances is reminiscent of my view of people who just can't seem to let go of the 70's and 80's music (the good and bad), unable to exit that safe typical, follow everyone box... does that make sense? In any case, it be really exciting to see more of ATF on your show and will check out his channel as well. Hopefully sometime soon I can sample his work. Great job guys and thank you as always
If you watch Aaron’s channel you’ll see he reviewed Fetish by Roja and he said he’ll never review another Roja Parfum because the materials used are not ethically sourced, so civet and castoreum are literally the real thing another reason why the price tag is ridiculously high
YESS! At last someone with professional opinion shat on aventus! What a joy! Please, give Aaron to try Office for men! I want to see him destroy it, especially how he destroyed aventus for its pricepoint to value, I can bet whatever I have that he is going to be even more outraged.
I don't want to sound like an ignorant or an asshole, but, im really curios how Aaron have never smelled or knew these popular perfumes despite being a talented and passionate perfumer himself? I really can't understand. Even a humble perfume lover know these classics very well.
Salem, it’s a perfectly valid question so don’t call yourself ignorant. I have always thought the same as I’m sure others have. If I was in any industry, I would want to know my competitors and their products. Also if I loved perfume, I would want to try out as many as I could (which we all do). All I can think of is that maybe he doesn’t want to be influenced by anything.
On his channel he’s said that he hasn’t smelled other brands in about 10 years. Maybe more maybe less. So he is familiar with things like Black Orchid and Oud Wood. I think he purposefully avoided other fragrances to just work on his own stuff
Great reviews as always, love Aaron’s honestly and how he can dissect a fragrance. I share the same opinion as Aaron about the house of Creed in general and in particular Aventus...
The scents that I would like to see Aron review would be Zoologist. I’ve never smelt anything by them but they seem to have the reputation of being a very acquired taste and I think that would be more up Arons alley so to speak 👍🏻
Go Aaron ! one of the few who has the balls to say Aventus costs really too much and quality is massive lower than the original beast it was . I have to accept I'm the only one who really hate Green Irish tweed...and yes it's the same in every business videogames too
ok wow when he said the royal oud smells slightly more expensive..I knew this guy knows his stuff Its one of my favorites and is the most expensive creed fragrance by a slight amount....
I score this episode 12 out of 10! Brilliance and honesty together! Unheard of from an industry that seems to prey upon the consumer with reformulations following an original grand success and seldom do we truly know the bait and switch. IMHO, it is a mistake to buy reformulations. It strikes me the best version is on the initial release, best pricing, then they seem to catch the wave and after that cut corners, raise prices, cut bottle sizes. Roja's Creation-E comes to mind, with pricing for a 100 ml bottle on release later essentially becoming the price on a 50 ml bottle--and reformulated?!? MY WORST HEARTBREAK WAS AVENTUS. My first bottle bought was in 2010. It was to die for. My last--and never again at any price--bottle was late 2019. It is not the same juice. I personally consider this a fraud. AND, my goodness, no one knows when someone's reviews of an AVENTUS is which lot, which year. (Thank you for mentioning this AVENTUS is from 2016.) But, it applies across all lineups. MY THEORY: If you like a scent in its year of release, by it then, and never again to avoid heartbreak in later years when it has been reformulated. After all, perfumes are NOT LIKE VINTAGE WINE, over which the chateau haven't control of the weather, the forces of nature coming to bear and one vintage to the next varies. Yet, the perfume industry changes formulations in a brand from one year to the next as often as the weather changes the grapes and the wine, with some vintages of wine great and others plonk. IF THE PERFUME HOUSES WOULD DO LIKE THE GREAT COGNAC HOUSES DO, THEY WOULD INSPIRE LOYALTY. I love Hennessey Paradis. That house tries to mix it's blends every year to keep the taste as close as possible from on year to the next. The perfume industry could, should do the same. If they want reformulate, by golly, they should change the name of the release, not keep the same. At a minimum, they should at least stamp in bold letters on the bottle label the "vintage" year. AVENTUS (2010), AVENTUS (2016), etc.
I absolutely LOVE THIS!! Creed is absolutely boring to my senses. There is no challenge to what they do. It’s for the no risk taking man. I never feel inspired by anything they produce. It’s all old-man’isn. Even Adventus is, to me, created for a guy to like how he smells. A guy WHO IS BORING! That doesn’t mean they aren’t made well, with top notch ingredients. It just seems to be all TOO SAFE!

Classic, conservative, manly fragrances are not Aaron's cup of tea, Shocker!!! He knows his trade but I aint taking fragrance recommendations from this guy.
So true.
Yeah Man.... I don't trust this guy... He's way too dramatic for a bottle of juice and feels more off from a manly character....
Versace The Dreamer better than almost every perfume mentioned above... but Aventus and green Irish Tweed are good too...
Taha Adnan Aaron is an artist, perfumery is an art as much as it is a science and that’s where most of us who are just fragrance enthusiasts fall short of understanding the true nature behind perfumery. It’s not about getting compliments, it’s not about what fragrance is beast mode or not or what is a banger, it’s about getting to the heart of the craft. To listen to someone who is so excited about keeping true to perfumeries true form is refreshing. He makes very valid points in that Creed is very, very money-driven in their approach to creating compositions. It’s about emotional and spiritual connections with a fragrance, something that blows your hair back. Whether you will want a recommendation from him is one thing but to say he’s too dramatic is short sighted. If you listen to any master perfumer, most of which I can guarantee have crafted some of the fragrances you all wear, they all speak similarly to the craft as Aaron does
@@scentmemories1047
You know!
I know!
Why we wear perfumes, okay?
We don't need all the crap you wrote.
More than 80% of people they wear perfumes to smell good.
Whatever he is trying to say is not our business because he seemed like he is talking to a students in perfumery school, when in fact I truly believe he is not qualified for that.
@@boardcrf2763have you tried ‘cope’ by Calvin Klein?
😆😆😉
Popcorn and pitchforks are ready, I wonder which option some people will pick 😂
This should be fun!
How come a perfumer is not very familiar with Creed? Am I the only one who think it's a bit weird?
No, you're not the only one. Perhaps Aaroon is socially segmented.
It's a blind smell test
OdorVitae I think he’s very fake and always wants to sell his own perfumes. If you try Aaron’s sample box it’s pretty bad, my wife and myself both disliked all but one, blood orange.
@@Peter-tc3ep I personally don't find him fake. I think he has very particular tastes in fragrance. He doesn't seem to go for classic fragrances which many of these are. I think he would much prefer houses like Zoologist who are much more daring in their releases. I am sure he wants to sell his fragrance line but I haven't once even seen him mention where or how to buy them in any of these videos so I don't think he comes across as putting down other fragrances just to sell his own stuff.
@@Cloudburst2000 agreed
Chris...astonish video.
Hey Aarón...We aprecciate very much your poetry and sensibility...
You gave us an enourmes lesson...about how to explaing what we feel and think.
There should be a trigger warning at the beginning of this video for Creed fan boys 😂
Giving me some laughs for sure!!🤣

And what I find so interesting is how triggered Creed anti-fans can get. Resentment and contrarionism is powerful. It's funny how just the name "Creed" can push those buttons.
This guy is fantastic ! You two make a truly great dynamic duo......(who would have ever guessed).
Many thanks for making the video.
I like when Aaron describes his thoughts and feelings, and all the technical details of a perfume's construction. That´s what I enjoy the most about his comments. The more he talks, the more I understand the essence of a perfume. So, don't just say 'boring' or 'I don't like' - keep talking, Aaron!
I have warmed to you Aron. Your opinions are from the heart, not from a cash register. You both come across well together. Thanks for a great channel. Love to learn of Aarons fave male frags. :)
Sorry second comment for the same video.. You tell that man that I ordered a sample of black orchid bc of his excitement for it and or blew my mind... It is the weirdest most beautiful thing I have ever smelled! My love from Greece!
If you happen to go on ebay and purchase Oud 24 hour for around £12, I’d be fascinated to know your opinion 😁
@@lordbushmills3089 eBay is weird in my country sir... Some sellers don't ship to Greece for some reason and shipping costs can be a bit ridiculous!
@@tzikas35 That’s a shame Thomas. If we ever get out of this Covid emergency, you will be able to visit England and take a few bottles back with you!
@@lordbushmills3089 I was just in London last february.. Just before the massive lockdown started... Never knew about it... Next time!
@@tzikas35 That’s a shame! You’ll definitely find it in smaller independent shops, not bigger chains.
thanks Aaron for being honest. It has been really enlightening. I find the brainy part of fragrance interesting and i think it helps us to appreciate the art of it....thanks for bringing this series out!!!!
Oh my god, that thumbnail .... priceless!!
Thank you so much. We needed this video! You listen to your fans and we love that!!! You're the best!!!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
10:48 „I wanna be generous“ ... „five and a half“ brilliant 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
"Nauseating chemical sludge" has to be the Aventus review to end all reviews. Mic dropped. ❤️Love you, Aaron, for this and so much more!
Let's be honest, Aventus only sells because of the fake hype paid youtubers put behind it.
@Matthew Davies I think that's a fair point, Matthew. I don't want to come across as hating Aventus, either. It's a pleasant fragrance but I simply do not get the hype around this at all. I can't tell you how many times I've sprayed this on me waiting (wanting) to fall in love with it like 80 percent of the people I see commenting on RUclips, but it just never happens. My reaction is always "meh...that's nice." To be absolutely honest, I think I have that reaction to most Creed fragrances. The only one I own is Green Irish Tweed, and there are days I have the same reaction to that. 😄What I like about Aaron's reviews is that he also takes into account the price of a fragrance when giving his overall opinion. I think he's stated that there are many fragrances that he would have recommended if they had been priced lower, even though they might not be what he himself would like or wear. Cheers!
Honesty with wisdom. Aaron, you laid Aventus bare. I fear for your insights may be punished by one means or another. If you post your own label on this site, I will attempt honor your honesty with a purpose and a purchase too.
I really never like creed aventus that much. the fresher creeds are super great, but it doesn feel like 230 euro worth. more like 180 euro for 100ml. but the Green irish tweed is by far the best soapy fregrance.
Dylan Foster well at least that’s a hot take. A ridiculously stupid take, but a hot take nonetheless.
PLEASE get this guy on Maison Francis Kurkdjian, especially their softer ouds and rose fragrances which are well crafted but may be basic to some!
Thank you so much for this! The two of you have very different personalities and sometimes even taste in perfumes but are so good together, love watching all of these kind of reviews!!🙏🏼
I could watch you guys for hours, please don't hold off on the length of the videos,keep it coming hahaha I love it 😍🤩
Aaron also hit the nail on the head when he said that green irish tweed was a celebrity fragrance, famously worn by Clint Eastwood and George Clooney.
18:37 "I think it's an 8 because the chemist has done a really good job, but I rate it a 3 because I know what the marketing would be behind it." What kind of fragrance advice is that? It would actually be more useful if Aaron could move beyond his own personal style as the ultimate barometer.
Trigggggered lol
Really good... So many funny examples that makes Aaron so different and unique. I laughed a few times but honesty is out of this world. Congratulations to both of you and keep the good work on the channel and partnership. 5⭐
Thanks Frederico👍🏻
The look on Chris’s face is priceless when Aaron gives his opinion on Viking and du Portugal 😆. I think they’re his favorites of Creed. First time watched this video was when it came out I was just getting into fragrances, didn’t know Aaron or Creed. I can see it from a different perspective now.
Really enjoy these videos, keep them coming! Love how Aaron breakdowns the fragrance
Hes biased cause he has his own brand. Its easy to love your own creation and bash others, narcisstic nature (he mentioned that he never loved a person), what can you expect?
Jac Jacy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 you are so right. I dont hate the man but he comes off a bit weird. (I dont Care what he says about perfumes) his behaviour is freakin weird.
Ive seen him give beautiful reviews of other brands.🤷♀️ I think he is just really passionate about fragrance and its more of an art. Some people are just more in touch with how things vibrate too. I feel like he does just that. 💜
@@ritayoung4752 he still fake his follower count on instagram and youtube by buying bot followers. Which is kinda cheating. Don't think this guy has dignity.
Yes, thank you both for this. I do really enjoy this.
Aaron is such a breath of fresh air. I love it!! Please let him know he should just speak his mind and just ignore whoever is offended and is being defensive about their fav fragnances being picked apart i think there is so much beauty in honesty!
Love these videos. Please, do a video with him smelling women’s perfumes. I want to hear his opinions about houses like Guerlain, Jo Malone, Dior, YSL, Chanel, etc.
Aaron's reaction when you told him Viking was at least a couple hundred pounds. LMAO!!!!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and this man knows his stuff and have a blessed day
Totally enjoying this series ,Aaron is awesome and love his no nonsense straight to the point opinions 🙏
Glad you're enjoying it!
More Aaron please! :)
I watch this whenever I'm about to impulse buy an overpriced Creed bottle
Buy them i'n Belgium. There the cheapest over here 😉
Go for it
Buy them! One person, a perfumer at that, who continually bashes a fragrance that is amazing and popular such as Creed Aventus,…always has an agenda. Take opinions, including mine, with a grain of salt.
The clap at 15:22 haha they’re so in sync and having a good time
"Why would Vikings smell of mint??".... nailed it.
Holy Cowboy ! Thanks FM for showcasing this guy!
He echoes my opinion about these fragrances.
Must start watching his videos.
He's the best guest on your channel. I really like his honesty. Great video guys!
Thanks Jonathan 👍🏻
I'm late to the party but this was just great stuff. ATF's presence, insight on fragrance, reminds me of me as I am with music. His brutally educated outlook on Creed, especially Creed, and fragrances is reminiscent of my view of people who just can't seem to let go of the 70's and 80's music (the good and bad), unable to exit that safe typical, follow everyone box... does that make sense?
In any case, it be really exciting to see more of ATF on your show and will check out his channel as well. Hopefully sometime soon I can sample his work. Great job guys and thank you as always
The way Aaron's brain dissects each fragrance is so interesting to me. Love the video as usual, Chris!
Thanks Seth👍🏻
Great to see your channel growing so quickly
Appreciate your support 🙏
Chris try and get Aaron to smell Guerlain bro. Let's see what he thinks about them.
I usually fully agree with Aaron and I love the new side he brought to reviewing fragrances! Thanks for doing these series!
I would like to see Aaron react to Roja Parfums!
M.Podgorski he won’t smell roja, they use real animal products.
I second that.
He smelt one roja in a video and liked it said it was very well crafted
@@iancampbell1494 what are u talking about?
If you watch Aaron’s channel you’ll see he reviewed Fetish by Roja and he said he’ll never review another Roja Parfum because the materials used are not ethically sourced, so civet and castoreum are literally the real thing another reason why the price tag is ridiculously high
YESS! At last someone with professional opinion shat on aventus! What a joy!
Please, give Aaron to try Office for men! I want to see him destroy it, especially how he destroyed aventus for its pricepoint to value, I can bet whatever I have that he is going to be even more outraged.
So he has been a perfumer forever but has never smelt aventus etc before?
I think he knows what he’s smelling, anyone can act
I think Aaaron mistook the fact we were supposed to be rating the fragrances out of 10,not 5!! 😂
The way he describes Green Irish Tweed lol its just very impressive. Guy knows his stuff!!
Aaron Stanyer i thought the same thing! Genius
i am a guy that think that green irish tweed is the best soapy fregrance ever, but he is right it is very 90 very classic
The passion from ATH is amazing and I love it. Please let him talk more! Less interrupting.
Lemon.. lemon.. lemon... my head is a lemon..🤔
"The 2016 batch of nauseating chemical sludge btw" 🤣🤣🤣
I do find it hard to believe he'd say that bout muh boy Aventus.
Not because of the scent itself. Hes more tired of the saturation of the market with this DNA.
We know he likes Tom Ford and "Slut" by Aaron Terence Hughes
Do you have a video of his FAVORITE fragrances? Lol I'd love that list.
Like first then start watching,, really enjoy your videos Chris ,, much love from Morocco
I don't want to sound like an ignorant or an asshole, but, im really curios how Aaron have never smelled or knew these popular perfumes despite being a talented and passionate perfumer himself? I really can't understand. Even a humble perfume lover know these classics very well.
I love Erin but agree with you on this. I’m a woman and I even know how a few of the Creed scents smell
if you know or follow aaron.you would know that he cares very little about other fregrance brands. he likes his own and he likes tom ford and kilian.
Salem, it’s a perfectly valid question so don’t call yourself ignorant. I have always thought the same as I’m sure others have. If I was in any industry, I would want to know my competitors and their products. Also if I loved perfume, I would want to try out as many as I could (which we all do). All I can think of is that maybe he doesn’t want to be influenced by anything.
On his channel he’s said that he hasn’t smelled other brands in about 10 years. Maybe more maybe less. So he is familiar with things like Black Orchid and Oud Wood. I think he purposefully avoided other fragrances to just work on his own stuff
Salem Al Ketbi I’m gonna have to agree with you on this, I think he knows what he’s smelling when he describes certain ones
Great reviews as always, love Aaron’s honestly and how he can dissect a fragrance. I share the same opinion as Aaron about the house of Creed in general and in particular Aventus...
Finally Aaron is back, with his special reactions :DD
Loved the content, keep it up!
Thanks👍🏻
What do you mean, he's on here nearly every week.
awesome review
The scents that I would like to see Aron review would be Zoologist. I’ve never smelt anything by them but they seem to have the reputation of being a very acquired taste and I think that would be more up Arons alley so to speak
👍🏻
Fantastic idea! I have a few samples of zoologist and they smell really good! I would loooove his take on them!
april bagwell - which one would you recommend for men from the House? Thank you
Great idea.
@@scentsei8201 rhinoceros and beaver smell fantastic! They lean a little bit unisex but smell more masculine.
Beaver Notes
Linden blossom, fresh outdoor air, wood shavings, wild vegetation, damp air, dry wood, water, musk, dark woods, vanilla, amber, castoreum, leather
Rhinoceros Notes
Rum, bergamot, lavender, elemi, sage, armoise, conifer needles, pinewood, tobacco, immortelle, geranium, agarwood, cedar, vetiver, sandalwood, amber, smoke, leather, musk
I thought the same. Good idea for him to smell something different
These are such awesome videos! The thumbnail is perfect too hahaha
Go Aaron ! one of the few who has the balls to say Aventus costs really too much and quality is massive lower than the original beast it was . I have to accept I'm the only one who really hate Green Irish tweed...and yes it's the same in every business videogames too
@Malcolm R Monaghan what' s CC?
All this interesting talk yet the biggest chemistry is not the ingredients used but the enchanting chemistry between Aaron and Chris.
How kind, thank you
ok wow when he said the royal oud smells slightly more expensive..I knew this guy knows his stuff Its one of my favorites and is the most expensive creed fragrance by a slight amount....
Aaron is a total riot!!! Love it :)
I score this episode 12 out of 10! Brilliance and honesty together! Unheard of from an industry that seems to prey upon the consumer with reformulations following an original grand success and seldom do we truly know the bait and switch. IMHO, it is a mistake to buy reformulations. It strikes me the best version is on the initial release, best pricing, then they seem to catch the wave and after that cut corners, raise prices, cut bottle sizes. Roja's Creation-E comes to mind, with pricing for a 100 ml bottle on release later essentially becoming the price on a 50 ml bottle--and reformulated?!? MY WORST HEARTBREAK WAS AVENTUS. My first bottle bought was in 2010. It was to die for. My last--and never again at any price--bottle was late 2019. It is not the same juice. I personally consider this a fraud. AND, my goodness, no one knows when someone's reviews of an AVENTUS is which lot, which year. (Thank you for mentioning this AVENTUS is from 2016.) But, it applies across all lineups. MY THEORY: If you like a scent in its year of release, by it then, and never again to avoid heartbreak in later years when it has been reformulated. After all, perfumes are NOT LIKE VINTAGE WINE, over which the chateau haven't control of the weather, the forces of nature coming to bear and one vintage to the next varies. Yet, the perfume industry changes formulations in a brand from one year to the next as often as the weather changes the grapes and the wine, with some vintages of wine great and others plonk. IF THE PERFUME HOUSES WOULD DO LIKE THE GREAT COGNAC HOUSES DO, THEY WOULD INSPIRE LOYALTY. I love Hennessey Paradis. That house tries to mix it's blends every year to keep the taste as close as possible from on year to the next. The perfume industry could, should do the same. If they want reformulate, by golly, they should change the name of the release, not keep the same. At a minimum, they should at least stamp in bold letters on the bottle label the "vintage" year. AVENTUS (2010), AVENTUS (2016), etc.
Brilliant.
Great great video!!! Aaron was a pleasure. Thanks ❤😁
I absolutely LOVE THIS!! Creed is absolutely boring to my senses. There is no challenge to what they do. It’s for the no risk taking man. I never feel inspired by anything they produce. It’s all old-man’isn. Even Adventus is, to me, created for a guy to like how he smells. A guy WHO IS BORING! That doesn’t mean they aren’t made well, with top notch ingredients. It just seems to be all TOO SAFE!
Absolutely love these collaboration with you 2
