Hi guys, since uploading this video it has come to my attention that there are some glitches. It seems there were some problems when rendering the file for export. I can only apologise for the glitches and hope that you can still find some enjoyment in the video.
No worries! So far so good
The glitches were funny cause of how it made you guys faces look
I have seen all the glitches and I have to say: it is annoying, amateurish and my disappointment is immeasurable.
My day is ruined.
My life is ruined.
I blame you for it!
Have a good day, Sir!
(I was being sarcastic, I love your colabs with Aaron, I love your content and I love Aaron's content and keep doing what you are doing Chris!)
Yep, the quality is poor..😮
It literally goes with your RUclips name; go with itt.
The biggest mistake that I have made as a new collector is that I purchased way too many at first, and way too many cheapies. As your nose develops, and budget allows, you’ll end up acquiring better quality and being more discerning.
100%! I made the same mistake :/
I believe we all made those mistakes...
@@RickMGPinto but I think that’s because it is constantly encouraged by influencers that we hold in pretty high regard. They’re making money, while people are stuffing their shelves with stuff they’ll never wear if they mature in this hobby.
Same here. A lot of the ones I bought in the first year or two, I wouldn't replace if they ran out. I dont buy the outrageously priced cologne's, but I am now looking much more for quality over quantity.
Yes we think why would I get the real thing if I could have a clone that's just as good then it ends up not being
There are 50 better cheapies you could have had him review
I agree totally.
It is so funny to watch Aarons face and reactions while smelling the cheapies 😂 he clearly hates each one of them but is still being polite and keeping it unoffensive. It's clear that he is very experienced when it comes to fragrances and has a very well-trained nose. The way he picks up on all the ingredients on a blind-smell in your other videos is just mind blowing, well done!
I love how fragile the opinions are of fragcomm members that you go way out of your way not to offend these wimps
Timestamp please.
I like how he’s also the type of person who seems like they’d get a kick out of ripping into peoples personal opinion lol hella polarizing
ONE HOUR of ATH and Frag-Mental??? What'd I do to deserve this treat
I didn't skip leg day so I definitely earned it. 😅
Totally agree with Aaron on dupes taking a cut on designers income. But at the same time you can argue that for those who have got lazy with quality and performance, dupes can give them a reason to get themselves sorted out and hopefully start producing more quality fragrances again instead of ripping people off for bad experiences.
The dupes or clones have only become popular because of the outrageous prices some of the designer fragrances cost. Thank heaven for discount fragrance sites.
Agree. Especially Tom Ford fragrances, where the prices have gone up but the quality and longevity isn't as good as they used to be.
I hear you…..BUT…. NO ONE, NO WHERE is even attempting to clone any ATH fragrance….and do you know why???
Because he puts together QUALITY and doesn’t charge our eyeballs out. If the big boys with the deep pockets and wholesale prices weren’t trying to squeeze a dime out of a nickel (or 110 pence out of a quid) and gave us more for our money. clones couldn’t take from them as much.
"Dupes" replicate the originals. Many "dupe" companies do a very good job of mimicking the legit product these days. For many of us who like a certain "dupe" we'll actually go out and buy the original. So it works both ways. Most people don't have a few hundred bucks to buy 1 designer or niche fragrance, but imagine spending that kind of money on a blind buy of the original and not liking it?
The steady inflating prices of fragrances and reduction in quality have been their own demise.
Exactly 💯
I don't know man 😂😂😂. I feel like this guys are just like the wine tasting guys 😂😂😂. Is only good if they see the price tag 😂😂😂.
Totally agree with you.
You know he doesn’t know what the frags are when smelling right, he can tell the quality by the smell. I’m just a dude who’s been in the hobby a couple years and 9/10 I can easily tell a cheaper frag from a niche one
Because some of us out here are not so wealthy and that's why we can't afford a $200-$400 bottle of fragrance and have to go to clones. And some of the clones out there can give a lot of designers fragrances a run for their money. Anyway thank you for making the video and can't wait to see more. Be well my friend.
ATH is a perfume chemist so he can instantly recognise the compounds and chemicals. So he can kinda predict accurately if those chemicals will last or not. The clone issue is that they never last. Its actually kinda amazing that they can really pull off the scent, problem is it lasts 15min.
Most reviewers/fragrance experts actually dont hate on clones, but there are only a few clone houses that can make the scent AND make it last
@@dizzy4303 My friend I have several clones that last 8+hours some even longer than that. It's INSANE to ask $300 to $400 for a fragrance when the majority of hard working people can not afford such luxuries. Real people have children,bills and food to pay for. Not everyone is money wealthy. I will stick to my clones rather than making some hody tody perfumer more wealthy. Be well and have a beautiful day.
you saying that clones dont last show that you have 0 clone knowledge. but not gona lie there are some garbage clones so u are kinda right.@@dizzy4303
Did Aaron say why doesn't someone just save 30 or 40 quid and get the real Black orchid? I really want to know where to buy for this price lol
I know where. In 2010.
It's so strange to see that Aaron has legs
I agree with Aaron on dupes I only get the out of reach ones .. I think Diaghilev by Roja Dove is AMAZING but I cannot spend $1,000 on a fragrances, but Alexandria makes a version that is spot on at 97%, bought a $10.00 sample of the real deal and compared the 2 and longevity was the only issue but at $69.00 a bottle I can reapply multiple times a day. I am trying Great Britain next. Thanks for an interesting but way to long video ..LOL. Cheers Mate 😎
I am so surprised more people don’t think EXACTLY like this. I have a per bottle limit I’m just not willing to exceed . I remember my first clone purchase.. The 2mL original cost more than the 100mL clone. For my BEGINNER nose they were identical. Now. (2yrs later) I absolutely detect many differences other than the obvious (projection & longevity) and still the clone is a great stand alone fragrance, but the original offers so much more.
@@persephonesdad5792 I agree 100%, I can afford the mid to high fragrances but not at the rate I liken to purchase fragrances . Like Black tier from Roja would be almost 1- 2 months of multiple purchases of quality niche or designer but mainly niche. I have a clone of black tier God only knows how the original smells, I would be in heaven.. LOL. Cheers 😎
Props to Aaron's take on dupes @37:10 . That's such a refreshing viewpoint to hear from a perfumer!
i would've watch this video if it had timestamps...
11:00 I can answer that
In my country Black Orchid is around 270 euros, while that clone fragrance is around 25-30 euros
For most people in my country, Black Orchis is a month's salary
Bro I’m from Germany and the US and it’s still not cheap for us over here so don’t feel bad. What country are you from?
Where the fuck are you where a months salary is 300€?
@HoseTheBeast Minimum wage in Brazil is less than 250 euros, for example. A majority of the population here doesn't make much more than that, some even less. Buying pretty much any fragrance, even so-called cheapies, is a luxury and a privilege in this context.
„Controversial Perfumer SLAMS Cheap Fragrances“ 😂😂😂 Video title of the year
I gotta get glasses I thought it said slaps 🤣
Aaron is so botoxed he cant open his eyes :D
His Botox is very synthetic too
Fragrance video and title to bash cheapies. Ehhh. Not a wise idea.
I love towards the end with Aaron losing his mind over Majestic Sky and it's chemical composition and banned ingredient and Chris is still talking about how it smells bad and he'd give it a 2 😂
Guys this is an old video that got re uploaded 🙄🙄
ATH is a cute, very talented, hard working, creative and somewhat eccentric guy. His quality standards for fragrance align with my own. I think he’d make for a desirable date!
We need more of these videos. Keep em coming 😅
I can't believe you took ATH to Poundland!
Yes an hour long with the two of you! Weekend just gor 10x better ! ❤
Get off your knees
People can't be happy any more, let me call the karma police.
I remember Aaron hating CK Shock back in one of the first videos he did…
Although I feel like CK Shock lasts a decent amount of time on n my skin..
I thought this video was years ago,you two certainly look younger here
EDIT:
Just read the caption,it said classic compilation,was right then😂
Hey Chris, there seems to be a significant amount of clipping in this video which can last from 5 seconds to 30ish seconds of the video not working before it kicks back on. Just thought you should be aware!
Not sure what’s going on there. Possibly something to do with the original recording format on these older videos. Thanks for letting me know 👍🏻
Bro injected his face to the MAAAAAX!
How you make him try his own fragrances because that’s my face and opinion when I try his
A true man of the people would never rate CK Shock a 2.
Who in the world picked these fragrances. Not one is relevant even as a dupe.
What happened to his cheeks?
I don’t like clones and dupes. However I don’t think they are taking money away from the original brands as the people who buy dupes cannot buy the top tier originals anyways. Coming from someone who can’t afford a roja, PDM etc.
Old video?
Iv been watching a lot of theese videos over the Christmas holidays as I got a couple of pretty expensive colognes, I work in construction so I'm not putting on expensive fragrances going to work but I would like to know what deodorants a guy should be going for
How’s he controversial ? Can someone educate me
On the dupes, it's not taking money away. If someone can recreate 80-90% of what you do for 10 times less, then where really is the magic and how much are really the profit margins? Don't want to get duped - charge less or be harder to dupe. There are countless counterfits of Nikes and others out there, they aren't taking money away from those who can't afford them. Most people buying dupes would have never bought the original in the first place. Especially with most being reformulated and watered down over the years.
Aaron is a frikin LEGEND. He is so classy, I just love him! I wanna hug him so bad! haha.
If I ate a steady diet of foods like filet mignon, beluga caviar, and bice tagliolini pasta with lobster & truffles, I might think less of a cheeseburger and fries, too. Lucky for me, I'm just a regular person - not a perfume snob. To which I'll add this: I have little regard for the opinion of a perfumer who thinks that Tuscan Leather is "boring." 😏🤷
I have a feeling I've seen this before in 2022 or 2021.
is this an old video? aaron did not hold back in this lmfao
This is all the vids of Aaron smelling cheapies put in one video
Next time blind rate cheapies , I feel like there is a bit of bias when he knows they’re cheep
It’s hilarious with how old RUclips is, people still can’t be arsed to read the video description. It’s a compilation of old videos, folks.
Aaron's hair is better now instead of the emo hairstyle🤷🏻♂️
I want to watch PPV Aaron fight Jeremy😂
Make a video of him rating armaf lattafa and rasasi clones 😅
Did he say Black orchid is about £40/£50??
From where??!??
Bull. Put some cheapie ones side by side and blind. He won't know the difference.
1 Hour video? oh boy lets goo!!!!
Aaron, if he keeps you captive, just blink.
I own a vintage bottle of TF BLACK ORCHID and I own the clone shown in the video for over 3 years now. I prefer the clone over the OG! It lasts over 12 hours on me and smell so very similar, in fact most people pick the clone over TF!!! Go figure. These are fun and love TAH reviews, his nose is legendary ❤
Same here 😂 I'm also a bit conservative on my Roja Elysium
Some cheap fragrances or clones are better with performance than real stuff though 👍
Now days 8 from 10 frags are mehh, I'm sick of all ehtyl maltol crap everwhere.
Was this all recorded the same day? Because Aaron cried smelling pardon and all the sudden the clone is better
Mans has a snoochge on em
53:30 wait wait wait! You are doing a fragrance together? let's go!
My advice to people out there that are interested in saving some money by buying clone fragrances.....DON'T buy clone fragrances from Poundland, Dollar tree, Dollar General, Dollarama.......they are the WORST OF THE WORST. You can't get much more ghetto than those places.
Little Johnny is going to die intoxicated this Christmas lol
Every fragrance has chemicals into it
It's all chemicals
I’d love to see an episode where yall review gems that have been derailed by IFRA and what ingredient was banned in that fragrance
Reupload?
Right! I feel like I watched this maybe two years ago
Would love to see Aaron critique more perfume parlour fragrances.
Do a is it cheap ( Sub 50 dollar perfume ) and is it expensive (over 100++) dollar perfume and see what he gets right or wrong. I would assume if he misses alot of them, he would want to not have you upload the video though 😅
"You want me to be honest?" 😂😂
We need Aaron to rate armaf: untold, milestone, sillage etc
He did Sillage on his own channel
This guy is like a master som of fragrance
You should have added milestone to the lot 😄 , would love to hear Aarons opinion of it
Same. Aaron did review Sillage and he wasn’t the biggest fan of it and neither was Curly Scents - the Dutch one not the Spaniard Curly Scents
Haha when Chris said “maybe a little heliotrope” and Aaron was appalled 🤣
I've been watching note listings of many of these fragrances on Fragrantica as he tries to pick out the notes and to be quite honest he's completely out in left field. He strikes me as someone who has very basic knowledge when it comes to breaking down scent profiles. I was also completely shocked he couldn't even identify the Aventus dna profile from the bunch, it's only one of the most popular dna scent profiles for men's fragrances within the last decade! As a regular person I find him entertaining, but for someone who calls himself a "perfumer" he obviously doesn't have a good grasp of fragrance notes and what's going on in his industry around him. Just my opinion.
My god....Red Door.....ELIZABETH ARDEN!! Didn't even know that 🤡
Next time don’t pick clones 😂
Aaron bring back. Legend, bring back. Legend, bring back legend, please I don’t know why you discontinued it????
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why is he controversial?
Oud 24 hours is a dead ringer for Black Orchid, i'm convinced Terrace has never even smelt Black Orchid!! He didn't even know it sellers for well over £100 for 100ml!? Oud 24 Hours is about £12 - 15ml for 100ml, it's such a no-brainer 😂
A 1 hour video of Chris and Aaron!? Hell yeah!
The video that started it all. ❤
Great video as always, thank you for your content! It's also always great to see Aaron on your channel as well! I don't know if you have anything like a TJ Maxx out where you are (I'm betting you do), but here in the U.S., but TJ Maxx is a "rack store" that has a lot of fragrances marked down in price, plus they also carry a lot of clone brands (like Camara and Milestone) that I have found to be of surprisingly good quality. I would be very curious to see what Aaron thinks of these niche clones that have been increasing in the rack stores over here. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more content!
We have TK Maxx in the UK.
This series is so honest and pure, far cry from YT clowns who hype cheap dupes for few bucks and clicks... It is a nice idea, nice little lie that you can have cheap clone of, i dont know, BR or Terroni or Black Afgano for a 1/4 of a price, but truth is far from that. Linear, boring, cheap smelling frags and that is it, they are ok for what they are, and its better to have them than nothing, but dont lie to people
Old video?
Loki?
Nobody commenting on Aaron’s cheeks? Did he do cheek implants or filler? He looks all swole!
Maybe it would be good not to mention whether the fragrances you're getting ATH to comment on are either cheapies or expensive. That way he doesn't come into the challenge with any preconceived idea on the fragrances he's reviewing. There are many "cheapies" that smell better and higher quality than some niche offerings. I don't care ATH is a so-called "expert"; fragrances are subjective - quality to one person is garbage to another.
The only fragrance I own that is beast mode is sauvage elixir. I have 6 or 7 $300+ bottles and none are room fillers
90s yuppie 🤣🤣🤣 Poor Roucel. Shout out to nana's bubblebath. Or as I like to call it, farting in the bath. Cheeky. 😏
38:14 nice opinion here. There's a fine line between inspirations and taking money away from the original author. That's why I'm against counterfeit fragrances, which exists because many people want to have even the same bottle and pay less. I just buy inspirations with generic bottles, but never thinking they are equal to the original, they are just a cheaper approach. Inspirations almost always are simpler, narrower, like listening a mono record.
I've always loved cologne since I was a little kid. As I got older and can purchase the more expensive colognes Maison Frances is one of my favorites. When I smell the cheaper fragrances, I can easily smell the differences.
The power of when a man is well groomed meaning....when Aaron wore long hair he was veryyyy fckn timid, but when he's laced up and wears veryyy short hair he looks and behaves more confident. Aaron never go back to that horrible long hair, but of course do as you fckn wish lol
ATH is correct about dupes but it’s like watches . Not everyone can afford a Rolex , so they go for Tudor . The ones that can’t afford a Tudor get a turkey 🇹🇷 watch ⌚️. Niche fragrances with niche prices can only be bought by Niche customers.
I like your crap reviews at the end…I don’t know why!…very interesting.
Aaron went to poundland?
I'm from Canada, so this comes off with a different vibe 😂
Hi champ 😊
Hope you doing great .. I would like to request you to make a video about top / best oud fragrances for men .. niche / designer
Thanks a lot
More power to you
Have to get Aaron to do football fragrances . The Ronald is , the Beckhams
I love videos with the two of you. It's great to have a wonderful perfumer/chemist evaluate fragrances as he is very picky and knows high quality :)
I’d love to see you two rating the Zara lineup
One thing this particular video has shown me (i already knew) i have friends in low places and I'm fine with that.
I just think a lot of fragrances are really overpriced. I have dupes and originals that are at a reasonable cost and i get compliments on both however I'm not spending $300-$600 on up on a fragrance
Gutted ATH wouldn't try the Poundland frags on his skin...
Am i crazy or have I seen this before lol
Years ago! You may still be crazy though 🤷🏼♂️😂
