"that robot one I had to have therapy after for weeks" 😂💀. Why we love you Aaron. 👍🏻🦄
He’s been traumatized by that damn robot😂
I don't even wanna know what that robot did, but I hope it wasn't programmed to violate people
😂😂
at least he went to therapy, most of us just have to live with shame and regret of spending thousands on youtube recommended fragrances, 🤣
Best frag reviews ever.
having a really rough day, hearing you say you’re doing fantastic always reminds me that things will get better. thank you aaron ❤️
When I first tried this one, I immediately thought, “yes this is for the younger ones!” I did get a sample and gave it a try. I’m 51 and I wore this on a night out. I fell in love with it and so did the people around me. The sweetness does die down a bit after 1/2 hour or so. This one is perfect for group settings- age does not matter 😊. Love your content.
Agreed, I'm 58 & received 2 compliments wearing this today.
This is a good one. Love it when Aaron goes into the detail of the notes and how they make it.
A maestro . Brings them spiralling out into incandescent life .
If Aaron says "Strong" he really means it. Four compliments after 4hrs , wearing it in the cold weather.
Solid 9+
Paco Rabanne is the king of youthful sweet fresh fragrances, excellent review!
This guy! I saw stories about people getting 7 samples when they ordered 3 and I was excited to see if I'd be lucky. He sent me 28 separate samples. Incredible marketing and I fell in love with Alpha man immediately. Thank you so much 🦄
Yes me too, its my signature scent atm
Yhh I had to buy it immediately, came with 10ml of blood orange which is lovely as well. Layered Oud with a little forbidden yesterday and it's unreal.
@@dales2081 Since we are sharing our experiences with ATH. I bought 10 mls of Onyx ext, Notorious and Santal ext. He graciously sent me 18 samples of loads of his masterpieces. As a result I bought a 50ml alpha man. I'm also in love with his oud but I get mixed reactions with it and guapo doesn't stay on my darker skin too.long.
He's very clever. I actually asked for daddy, homme and onyx but ultimately bought boss bastard, alpha man, raw cherry and got a free 10ml of blood orange. I'm only just starting to experiment with Oud and it's starting to grow on me. Turns out I'm not a fan of florals and gardenia, patchouli are not for me but saying that I'm massively into rose notes in the heavier perfumes
@@germaikan3610 hey I just ordered alpha man but I wasn’t too sure if I made the right choice, is it that good to you?
I do love this and I’m an older gent myself. I love the dry down of it. Sweet opening but the apple definitely comes in the dry down. Great review!
I'm 35yrs old coming 36 in a few weeks time and I have to say I absolutely love good sweet fragrances. Im trying to explore more oriental fragrances but always get suckered back to sweet fragrances lol but 1million elixir for me works amazing on my skin. The projection I get from this is amazing and the longevity is outstanding aswell. I love it that much I own a 100ml and a 200ml bottle so won't be running out anytime soon.
I’m a year or two older than you and exactly the same with the more sweeter fragrances, I’ve tried a few testers of different types of perfumes for example the red tabacco by mancera a few Tom fords, angel share by killian but it just gives me a headache.
My fav at the moment is Dior elixir, would be intriguing to know what your go to’s are
@@boyracer121 My top 3 favourite go to fragrances atm are Paco Rabanne Elixir, Spicebomb Extreme and Tom Ford Noir Extreme
Same age as you man. I'll be 36 in August. I just purchased a bottle myself! Can't wait
Fantastic breakdown. I laughed when you said "the robot". 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm 38 and I don't like sweet scents. But this one I actually enjoy a lot
I love watching him break down colognes even if I’m not interested in buying it. His passion and skill set is unmatched.
😂 I’m 56 and I love elixir!
Everyone around me, including the Mrs gives it high marks.
I’m not an over-sprayer so I think that’s why I am able to pull this off.
I think if your trigger happy with this fragrance, it will come off as being juvenile.
3 hits and I’m good.
Cheers 🇦🇺
I hated it aaron thanks for this video. Stay blessed.
That look after saying the price of vanilla absolute is priceless🤣, my second favorite million out of the line
36y/o here and not gonna lie, I really enjoy sweet fragrances😁. Rather they are fruity sweet or warm sweet as long as there is a fresh element I'm probably gonna like it. The opening is a bit much, the apple is HUGE but that vanilla ice creamy like drydown is very nice and performance on this is really really good. Thx for the review!
I have stayed away from paco rabanne fragrances but the elixir got me after a while , now I love it. First went for 100ml then came the 200ml bottle
Love your honesty, none of this " panty dropper " crap , just good honest opinions . Love it 🦄💗
Certain OTHER channels are annoying af
I could watch u break down frags all day. I'm Very very impressed! New here from school of scents.
I really appreciate your videos. As a hobbyist perfumer I learn a lot from your commentary.
I will say I personally own a bottle of 1m elixir and my god the compliments, I actually 100% agree is more for the youth I mean I’m 23 and it’s one of my favorite for going out at night. But also not something I like to wear all the time. I’ve personally never had a bad experience with it especially when I’m with women they love it.
Always a great description and always to the point. I watch all his vidios.
This is what I expected from the 1 million line, very sweet and synthetic and suited for younger people, love the review as always aaron keep it up 👍
@@Summerdew123 I agree, I own a couple one million fragrances, one was gifted to me and the other I purchased and did like (one million lucky)
I wouldn't pay 80 quid for a 100ml of any of them and I was disappointed with this "elixir"... it doesn't resemble a elixir fragrance in my opinion :(
Ok grandpa
The etholmoltal wasn't whipping thru the base this time it was at the top lol great review Aaron i enjoyed it as always 👍
Hi Aaron...just want to let you know that I finally got my hands on Raw Cherry...love it! Going to get a back up bottle. Onyx, Daddy and Tabac are on their way. Greetings from Aruba!
I love your voice and accent idk its so soothing and besides from the very professional feedback i love your passionate style of giving it
This fragrance rocks for all age groups !!
This is my guity pleasure. Ultra sweet, ultra synthetic, linear but man it’s so gooooood !
Thanks Aaron, another GREAT review, and love the break down of the cologne. By the way I googled Elixir and it means like a magical potion so to speak, cheers!
I'm in my forties and this was my signature scent for nearly a year.
I never noticed the apple in it until I spent some time away from it and started getting more into fragrances, trying to pick out the different notes, and now that apple is clear as day.
It is a very sweet and strong scent. Overspraying will clear out a room. Two to three sprays is plenty and would last easily 12 hours with enough projection that people around you could smell it (huge projection for the first couple hours), and as a skin scent it would last over 24 hours, even after a shower. On clothes it literally lasts weeks.
Love the review. Very fair rating. Just bought it today. Can’t wait to wear it. Holla.
Another excellent video by Aaron,💪😎 thanx for the great review brother 😎👍
I love these review videos and your work! What is a natural smelling vanilla centered fragrance you could recommend?
💜 Thankyou for the Video Aaron 👍🌺
Great review Aaron. Thank you for sharing.
My husband didn't like this for him, but we both love it on me. I don't love it, but I'm enjoying a sample.
Love it! Great video. Yes, definitely unisex but got it straight away. You disliked Phantom too! 😂😂💖
Thanks Aaron, you made me laugh out aloud with your passionate descriptions.
Terrific Review ATH.
I sincerely enjoyed this one! Nice suprise.
just imagine Aaron would drop a new fragrance with only naturals in it (idk if this is possible) I also love fragrance with huge amount of naturals, I wouldn't care about the price actually
He stated a few times that the sweet spot for him is about 2/3 aroma-chemicals to 1/3 naturals.
This is considered fairly high in naturals in the fragrance industry.
Personally, I agree with that being the sweet spot.
From a business standpoint, higher naturals come with the nightmare of harvest variations which makes it hard for batches to be consistent (in all aspects: performance variations, scent profile difference, price fluctuations, etc). An example of this is Creed Aventus: if you bought the 2016 and the 2017 batches the difference was huge and a lot of people got enraged.
The predictability of aroma-chemicals is a great asset, both to the process of crafting a fragrance (perfecting a scent is an iterative process) and in order to consistently meet customer expectations.
Despite naturals offering “fuller notes” fragrances with very high natural proportion tend to be very poor performers, which is also something nobody likes.
It is possible to make a 100% natural fragrance, that’s how ancient people did them before we had modern chemistry. It’s just not very practical nor does it wield good results.
I liked the parfume concentration of 1 Million, havent tried this one.
@Aaron: My friends are coming to visit me from the UK in June, they would bring me some ATH frags to try out. I have a good wishlist of the 10 ml samples, will you have a sale or some kind of promotion in the next 30 days or so?
Thank you.
I’m 26 and I like this one but yes, it does feel very youthful and not in a “fun and wild” kinda way but like “I’m immature and trying to get girls”
Well Aaron,believe it or not,I'm 55 yrs old,and I'm American! I work Honda of America,an auto manufacturing plant in Ohio. I have over 60 different kinds of cologne,including some niche,Layton, Sedley (Sucks and made me feel ripped off)! But my #1 favorite is YSL Y edp! So I was at work and my friend was wearing a sample of 1 Million Elixir,and I kept smell this cologne off him,so I asked him what it was,and later told me because had forgotten! I definitely like it despite you saying that older guys won't like it! Ps. I like Layton a lot but Sucky Sedley makes me want to never buy any niche again! 💩
I’m definitely out of the age demographic for this one (mid-40’s) and usually prefer more classically masculine scents like Terre D’Hermes, YSL L’Homme, GIT, etc… That being said, I got a sample of this when I was looking for a sweet fall/winter scent and liked it enough to grab a bottle. This one seems more mature than the original EDT to my nose while still being playfully sweet. Looking forward to picking up some ATH scents once they become more readily available here in the US.
Hi Aaron - I heard you mention letting the fragrance dry down. I was wondering how long you typically let a fragrance dry down for before figuring it has settled long enough for you to experience the true heart of the fragrance, if there is such a thing?
Reviews of a fragrance after a couple minutes of applying makes absolutely no sense to me....whether one is a professional perfumer or not! Also...Aaron typically gives very little indication of what a fragrance actually smells like...it is more of a description of its chemical composition which gets repetitive since most fragrances are constructed in a similar fashion. For my purpose...I need to hear about the scent character at each stage of a fragrance...the notes responsible for same and of course comments on the performance which can only be accurately given after extended wear (anything else is speculation).
Hopefully we get a bit more of that from these reviews.
@@robertarmstrong6015 welcome to go to another reviewer! I review like a chemist and perfumer not a sales representative!
@@AaronTerenceHughes....well...I actually like ur reviews....the reason I watch them...but I just don't watch them for info about the scent characteristics from a notes standpoint. Several other reviewers do that. What I get from ur reviews which is important is whether the fragrance is composed of good quality material and whether they smell natural or not....an important consideration.
I’ve never worn or wished to purchase anything 1 Million related as everyone & their mother’s brother & his uncle’s teenage cousin wore it out 🤮 … best thing about 1 Million is this review
Hello arron great review 👍 just got guapo yesterday and I love it ❤
Do you ship your fragrances to north africa ?! Great review aaron
This is not the kind of thing I'd even consider but I do really enjoy your balanced perspective and insight.
Very Nice today Aaron!
I get what you’re saying about older people not liking sweeter fragrances. I can’t stand them. I’m in my 30’s and I really enjoy Citrus, vetiver style fragrances like Terre D’Hermes And some orientals as well
You look very fresh.... Tanned and bearded 👏🏻😄 the best Reviewer and Raw Material Teacher
I regret buying the Robot, I bought it before it was technically released is the only reason why. I may have to retry 1 Mullion Elixir now. Great review Aaron!
I'm 29 and still love it. Guess my nose is still 16😂
I just watched a video from Sarah McCartney before this one.
Sarah and Aaron are my favorite perfumers on RUclips because they want to share their art with others. They are not elitists with an attitude of "you could never understand perfumery, so just pay a massive surcharge to pretend that you do".
I'm hoping you do more Pengaligon's, My favourite would be Much a Do About the Duke and Tragedy of Lord George. They have a bunch of sample bottle sets on their website.
Also I'm gonna get to buying a couple samples of your stuff too, even though i can't appreciate them from a science standpoint, I love fragrances and would certainly enjoy them from that perspective.
Thank you Aaron love your work. Pleeeaaase can you review D&G - By Man! Old 1990s zebra bottle. Thank you
That's is the true masterpiece..still sad can't find backup bottles of it
Thanks Aaron. I found the Mid to be the best part. The Top and Base were not to my liking. Any plans to review Azzaro The Most Wanted Parfum?
"I tried this fragrance at Macy's. At first, it seemed quite strong to me, and I wasn't used to the scent. It was something I had never smelled before, so I didn't like it much. However, it wasn't until the dry down that I really started to like it. I just ordered a bottle, but it's a shame I didn't do it before the winter ended."
Nothing to be ashamed of. You like what you like. That is why diversity of fragrance is so wonderful. So sad you don't read comments anymore. Oh well, here's to hoping you start again. Love your content!
bros voice is so crispy
Liquorice rose, cedar wood and vanilla, that’s exactly why I think it smells amazing, I love the dark rose my scent along with the cedar wood and then vanilla sweetness which ain’t that sweet, I think it’s a masculine sexy cologne.
I personally don’t like the perfumery here. It is quite simple mainstream and generic. Heavy tonka and vanilla dominating…
But you persuaded me to try it once more time Aaron. Great reviews by the way.
Aaron, please review Abercrombie & Fitch First Instinct, this is going to be one of the most interesting videos on your channel, a lot of people would watch it too! Please, Aaron!
Damn I didn’t know real vanilla costs THAT much. I heard the labor required is insane, like it has to sun dry and if it rains they have to put it back under cover, back and forth
Yeah apparently vanilla is the second most expensive spice after saffron.
🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦄🦄🦄🦄 I always stayed away from 1 million due to how over popular it was. Typically sickly sweet ethol maltol overdosed to crap like the robot from the same company. I've just ordered Hard Candy, High Voltage and Blood Orange from you so I'll get sweet done properly 👌
Are lying?? Where did u purchase hard candy and high voltage?? There no where to be found
You are special! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’ll have to wait for another month to get my order of Hard Candy and High Voltage in. :(
@@wach1722 u can get 3 samples from ath for a tenner and hard candy is one of the options
Aaron, i would love you to do a review on Layton clone??? Hopefully true!!!
It is called Lalique White in Black. I would like to know whether it's worth buying.
Aaron doesn’t review clones. :)
@@kingkong14166 I mean they say it is very similar, but not a clone.
Thanks for the review. I'm well above the stated 16 to 24 age demographic, but I sampled this at Macy's, loved it, and bought it on the spot.
I'm 28 but I do really like it, I do agree it could be a Unisex fragrence
One thing we could have mentiened here, it's a gourment frangrence,
So if you like gourment, sweet, vanilla tonka beans fragrence you probably this one!
nice review
Id like to see you review Invictus platinum, Invictus victory, montale mukhallat
Hi Aaron. I'd love to see your opinion of the most underrated fragrances . There is zero point of doing a "over rated" because it just gets messy. But if you could point out something that I might want to take a look at , that would be grand. 🤗
Thank you friend
Thank you!
Guys is this one like 1 Million Intense? I miss that one so much
Ethylmantol dominates the market right now..malls are full of it and its quite headache inducing then I bring my tobbaco scents and cut them to size 😂 choice was tabac and memo Russian leather over the weekend
nice fade 🔥
Can you please review Cartier l‘Envol. Struggling between buying it and Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche for Summer
What did you mean by corporate perfumery?
This whole house is built for highschool early college to get you into frags until the day you actually come across actual good stuff and never go back. From the smells themselves to the packaging. It's like curves slightly older brother, but not much older. If you go to a dept store and smell a bunch of stuff they have and just leave with a bottle from this house you aren't quite there yet. If that makes scents
Nah it's just colognes. Age is irrelevant honestly. What's popular is popular nothing more too it. I have over 10k in colognes designer and niche and Elixer is still one of my favorites. I'm sure the marketing is perfect for younger men, doesn't take away from a good smell
That robot one! I know everybody’s gonna say that, so funny!
"I'm kinda dreading this but... hey yo." 😅 I feel like that sums up so much about so many things right now... Hey yo! 😉 I love your reviews! They are so descriptive and detailed. I learn so much from hearing how you break-down each fragrance and the insights you share. Thanks for the fantastic reviews.
16-18 yrs old, god dam. I was wearing crush at that age. i was thinking more 20-35.
i would love to hear your review on carolina herrera's 212 vip
"I took therapy for it for weeks" LOLOL
So if I’m 33 I wouldn’t be able to wear this?
I wonder how many bottles of 1 million they've actually sold, it must be a lot
Now all of these designer fragrance houses are jumping on this elixir kick
So surprised by his rating! 😳
Do not be fooled it may not be complex stuff the 1 million series but it pulls in hot people
The notes are... vanilla absolute... vanilla absolute is 10.000 pounds a kg (looks sarcastically)🤣🤣🤣
Can you pull this off in a corporate office setting
Hi.Can you review the parfum versión please?
Oh my God well I like it and I'm at 40 I guess my cologne choices are quite immature
I don’t agree with the age group preference… you said synthetic fragrance!! Why ??
Talk about a man , born to review perfume .
i hated 1 milion since it came out with armani code, Black xs etc. And i was young, the only sweet frag that i loved was dior homme eau de toilette first edition
Make a review on CH men!!
I've never tried anything from this brand, the choice of aesthetic puts me off 🙈🤣
@em.... Agreed! Hard pass!
@@SWTmel I'm a self- confessed packaging snob 🙈
@@ems_h.eartnotes I think everyone is to a degree but it should be the smell that sells you the product.
@@the_9ent I agree, it just puts me off wanting to smell 🙈
Go for Invictus... I don't really like any other Paco Rabanne but its godly and modern.
