    I only watch this type of content for entertainment and not as a guide because everyone has very different taste buds for perfumery as for everything else, while Aaron is a great perfumer, I’ve heard, he mentioned he hates green perfumery but that’s one of my favorite categories, in the spring time I only wear greens and sometimes also in the summer if it’s not too hot, meanwhile I’m not a big fan of the blue ones.

I gotta tell Aaron I wore his original Tabac yesterday and it is by far my favorite of tobacco fragrances very dark & dirty and ashy as well anamlic stuff a 10 out of 10 for me so glad I scored a 50ML bottle for around $150.00 at Maxaroma before the price increase!!

BdC EDP vs. CDNIM Iconic, Turathi Blue vs. Tygar, Roja Elysium vs. DUA Supernova, etc. It’d be great to see how quickly he’s able to pick which one is the OG and then what differentiates the clone from it.

    Fragrances are really subjective. Even Aaron knows that which is why he mentioned him developing a green centric fragrance for those who likes it but him personally not. It's when everyone finds a fragrance everyone unanimously likes or love is when we see what a true great or masterpiece is from the so-so. True beauty is universal.
