As I have come to expect, a great breakdown between the chemical composition of a frag and the realistic and human description of how it is received by our senses. I enjoy your reviews whether I 'like' a frag or prefer something different. Thanks!
It is a pleasure listening to your description, knowledge, and personal experience with these fragrances, Aaron. I've been broadening my appreciation for scent profiles, coming from a ten year YSL L'homme default to now leaning more niche, and I discovered a fragrance by Anka Kus Parfum - A Moment in Manhattan. I've had a few different bottles to feel out on my skin and massage the intellect, and I think I have a handle on it, but I'd love to hear your take. All the best, man. Thanks for your work!
I have ozone on in this lovely warm weather and loving it. Also tried goldfield and banks bohemian lime as a test on my arm today and nice but doesn’t last very long at all! Ozone still powering all day👍 Blue fever yesterday. SPN tomorrow 😂
I just purchased this scent this week and I love it. Reminds me of a mixture between milliesime imperial, green irish tweed and bleu chanel. Performance is solid on my skin and last all day.
@@bennetthollister58 Mine is royal oud, it's unbeatable and out of the 40 or so fragrances I own + many others I have smelled, the magic of this just can't be beat to me. Also it is quite strong for a creed fragrance too.
@@pillzbeatz1037 That's what makes it so fucking good. It just pops out so much, nothing else smells quite like it and nothing else makes me feel the same way as that fragrance does.
Hello! Will be nice and useful to have a video where you explain how take care of fragrances and how to proper store. Also discussion about expiration of fragrances, myths and stuff. Thank you!
No way! I just bought this from Harrods & it arrived earlier today. It really is beautiful & your right, it is so light & airy & creates a very elegant aura around you. It's so.airy that it feels like you're just breathing in oxygen. You could spray tons of it on & it would be impossible to choke you or any one else out. I also agree that it is very reminiscent of Francis Kurkdjian's work.
wow! Small world, been considering this in the last few days as I'm really trying to find a nice citrusy summer fragrance.. Having the same issue tho with the siage and projection being not great, as well as something "lacking" on my skin..
Hey Aaron do you have any tips where to put my fragrances during summer cz it gets hot here like 35 degree celsius i heard bathroom is not good cz of the humidity. Thanks!
Interesting thoughts on the "office" suitability. In one sense, yes, you absolutely do not want massive projection (so that is good); otoh, you do want longevity (8 to 10 hour workday, after all). Imo the ideal office scent would be something with that "all-day" longevity, but also something with basically no projection - just a skin scent. Something for *yourself*, not for the people stuck sitting around you.
Love this creed fragrance the bottles I have are older and are more long lasting than the creed you get today . I totally agree about the price Aaron it’s way too high .
@@HeavenRoadV I got a bottle 2 months ago. It's definitely not discontinued. However, it's extremely hard to find it since Dior doesn't distribute it to US and Canada, so your only bet is to find an individual seller or straight up going to France and buying, which we did.
I found an online shop for perfumers and I checked prices for Hedione. That shop sells Hedione for 0.15 USD per gram, while their High Cis Hedione goes for 1 USD per gram. Well, that really a huge difference 😅 0
Erolfa has that screechy staticky base other greeds use like GIT (which I do NOT like) But the dry down on this is really good! Unfortunately it’s not worth it to suffer for 3-4 hours and smell that synthetic staticky screechiness to enjoy 1-2 hour dry down at the end of the journey.
Erolfa smells amazing, but i would never reach for this kind of fragrance. It is overtly mature aquatic salty fragrance, very subtle, close to the skin
I currently have a 100ml bottle. It lasts about 8 hours on my skin. Ever since Kering took over, perhaps I could be wrong, but I think creed fragrances seem to last a little longer. But the price is disgusting, agreed.
I don’t think this fragrance would be as well received if it sold at 1/3rd of the price. That is just the psychology of marketing. Thus I think Creed has priced it appropriately. Creed fans are looking for more than the odor or performance, they want the prestige and exclusivity thus necessitating the high price.
That stone-faced "hooray" gave me a good chuckle. Aaron is a Brit through and through, hahaha. About Erolfa... It's a strong MEH from me, nothing special about it at all. Just a generic clean scent.
Somewhat new sub here. I really enjoy your videos. Brands like Creed and Tom Ford have lost it imo. I’ve lost all interest in what they’re doing. Both brands have never lasted on my skin and have never been worth the cost at the end of the day. It’s the name recognition. Plus plastics in the packaging for that price is laughable. Niche brands who use just as expensive raw materials tend to cost less or equal in some case. but they generally take care and have attention to detail with their presentation with unique bottles that don’ t have plastic caps. Sorry for the rant.
@@bmoneybby I get 10+ from GIT and Royal Oud, 6-7+ from silver mountain water, aventus, and aventus cologne. not every fragrance can be magically made longer lasting without changing the smell of the fragrance.
I love your reviews so much! Thank you for continuing to do them! They're just so fun and educational. Really really enjoy them 🙂 thank you, Aaron!
Big fan of your fragrance reviews Mr. Hughes
Very well said! I'm obsessed with Blue Fever now. Thanks for that release! Keep em coming. Fan for life
Aaron I am always so grateful for your aesthetic. It's just so elegant, you never miss a beat.

This is one of my favorites from the house ! Great review and wish it lasted longer.
like you even saw this in real life
@@primarya4156 uhm what?
Its good but I would love to experience your take on this. Better projection and longer lasting at a reasonable price point...
Yes please!!
A review of New Look from Dior would be most appreciated. The current version. Thank you!

Hi aaron
Did you anything with dried apricot (persian variation) and aquatic notes?
Hey Aaron do you have any tips where to put my fragrances during summer cz it gets hot here like 35 degree celsius i heard bathroom is not good cz of the humidity. Thanks!
Can you do a review of Bvlgari Gyan? Thank you for your honest opinions
Aaron can we please get a review of Byredo Bal D’Afrique? Would be interesting to get your take on that
It’s trash
Can you do the house of Argos please sometime. Want to know what you think about it.

Is there an ATH discovery set and can we get it in the States?
This man is brilliant in his analysis of this business.
Please review PDM Perseus😊
One of my favorite from creed alongside GIT
It's a light scent now but it is lovely.
Love this creed fragrance the bottles I have are older and are more long lasting than the creed you get today . I totally agree about the price Aaron it’s way too high .
Hi, can you try 'Bois imperial' by Essential parfums?
would love for you to review original santal
2:10 Paradisone (which is a captive molecule) is supposedly the ultimate High-Cis Hedione material
Question. Summer - plenty of choices. Hot and dry? Lots of choices. Hot and humid? That's a tough one. Any ideas?

Please review Floris!
Erolfa is one of the best aquatic fragrances out there and one of the few I still like. The ambergris smells genuine, not like ambroxan.
dear Aaron, when you will start selling in Dubai. i tested your onyx and was in love but cant find them here.
Make a review of Narcotic Delight!
Have you Tried memo Paris Winter palace?
My favorite Creed!!
It is such a posh, professional in my opinion. I can imagine a Coroner, judge or manager wearing it.
So impressed by your reviews...erudition with euphonious delivery! Perfection...
@@ryany2882 So compliments aren't your thing? You do you, mate.
I wanted it at some point. But I think too many other houses does it better for a lower price.
You should REALLY try Thomas Kosmala NO4 (BR540 similar) or NO 10. Seriously mental performance.
Pls do Ysl lhomme edt the original and prada lhomme thx 😊
Discounters commonly have this available for about half retail price.
Probably a lot of them are fakes.
@@ElijsDima Jomashop is legit and 60% less than retail.
Just bought this a couple weeks ago...
Erolfa is king on a hot summer day
Technical review man! Confused me.
I really want to buy your fragrances but they’re never in stock in the USA haha maybe soon!!!
Hello. We are opening ATHUS in 2025 and will have unlimited stock. We will be sending a tonne of stock to Maxaroma later on this year. Thanks ATH

Holy crap I’ve never been this early! This is my favorite of all time!!!!!!!!!!
And you’re excited to be “early”?

How many sprays of hard candy elixir should I be doing? I’m doing 4 and I don’t smell it much after 10 minutes 😕 or maybe it’s just my skin
At least 8..😂😂❤ I find it lasts ages on my skin. Even the hard candy is beast mode on me!!!
have you considered you're perhaps going noseblind because of its strength?
When I tried this Creed and the melon note, one perfume came to my mind, Blue Seduction by Antonio Banderas 😅
Erolfa and Royal Water are my fav.
Same here.
I tried creed but, on my skin, it doesn't last long. For me most of creed concentration is more of EDT then EDP and the prices point is not worth it
They are definetly acting like edt, projecting for an hour and then they die
I still think this is just a clone of Exposé Indecente by Erolfe Hârrisè tho. The musk on that one really projected
Erolfa has that screechy staticky base other greeds use like GIT (which I do NOT like)
But the dry down on this is really good! Unfortunately it’s not worth it to suffer for 3-4 hours and smell that synthetic staticky screechiness to enjoy 1-2 hour dry down at the end of the journey.
You need to get a new skin it’s clearly your skin
we want apple brandy review
Love this one by creed

The 3rd best scent reviewer on youtube
Who are the other 2?
@@pillzbeatz1037 hi there the best is scents of south jersey.and rich mitch.But Scents Of South Jersey is easily the best
Olivier Creed named this after his children, Erwin, Olivia, and their mother Fabienne.
Good fragrance which I own but with questionable performance.
HCL hydrochloric acid ? 😅
Did they ruin this one as well?
Creed is good 😊
Used to be fantastic, sadly too weak nowdays
Spray creed on skin and clothes for little better performance
I suggest somehow keeping the perfume bottle in frame during the video, sometimes in the middle of the video I forget what perfume I'm learning about
Look at the title of the vid, then.
I always appreciate everything that Aaron says, but if he marked 40 knots 8/10, then this should be 4/10.
From house of CreeD nothing comes close to Oud Royale & Viking ❤
Creed had great fragrances (I have some of them) before they sold their soul.

Bring back Haze 🙌
Erolfa in the 2000s was a different beast, a lot more “animalic” like. Erolfa now is neutered.
Creed. Light. Airy. Doesnt last. Costs of fortune.
This is unfortunately true
That stone-faced "hooray" gave me a good chuckle. Aaron is a Brit through and through, hahaha.
About Erolfa... It's a strong MEH from me, nothing special about it at all. Just a generic clean scent.
Erolfa is a mismatch for me despite how good it smells. It just doesn't work for my skin chemistry.
Erolfa is one of the few Creeds that I actually get decent performance from
Same
You didn't mess this up😅
Doesn’t last tho
Creed should be 1/3 the price
I love EROLFA. But it doesn't last or project. Perfumed by Pierre Bourdon. Along with Green Irish Twwed, Silver Mountain Water, and Mellisim Imperial.
His name is aaron terence hughes !
SAY HIS NAME
Thanks for the update, now I know
And you?imbecile?
What about you?Are you a rabid dog?
Fight club?
So Hedion lift up a fragrance to give spark fresh sweetness like for EDT versions of fragrance… you think for MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver
Erolfa is rich-man aqua di gio, not worth the price for sure
Is it nice? Yes. Is it worth $500 U.S. dollars? No.
I wish you spoke more slowly and clearly.
