    Aaron, just so you know, you have the 2023 version of Acqua Di Gio Parfum. The 2024 version is different. The bottle sizes are now 50ml and 100ml, the caps are magnetic, the logo is toward the bottom of the front of the bottle, and the smell is closer to Acqua Di Gio Profumo. If you do a review, I would recommend getting a new bottle.

    Thank you Aaron, finding your channel has been a blessing for me. You make it so enjoyable and exciting to learn the pure art and purpose of perfumery, exploring fragrances that would suit me for different occasion. These kind of awards to big names are typical in many aspects of our life, where money, connection, and media controls everything, pushing garbage into the consumer. Food industry is exactly the same, but in a much more horrific scale and impact to us. Anyway, love you and thank you Aaron, please keep doing what you are doing. Cheers from Singapore

    100% related to your Boots' customer service experience.
    Everytime I've been in a Boots and asked for help finding something it feels like I'm being a nuisance, the slightly annoyed bored look they give me that screams they'd rather be doing literally anything else.
    Superdrug though have always been useful, must be something to do with the working environment I suppose...

    OMG this video was brilliant from start to finish. Thank you so much for this. I personally love Tobacco Honey but, as usual, I admire that you can appreciate the artistry of a perfume and talent of a perfumer even if you don't like the scent itself. You might be interested to know that is not actually a honey accord. Guerlain managed to develop a method to "distil" honey. I write in quotation marks because that's probably not the right terminology. Thierry Wasser explained it an interview he did with The Perfume Guy (I would link the video, but I don't want to risk having the comment deleted. The exact minute where they talk about this process is 13:43)
