I'm always happy to see Penhaligon's getting reviewed because it's often completely overlooked, even by our British reviewers. There's so many fabulous fragrances this house offers but for me there's 4 fragrances you need to know; HALFETI; SARTORIAL; ENDYMION CONCENTRE; and THE BLAZING MISTER SAM which is personally my favourite, it's the ULTIMATE gents scent and an absolute POWER house.
I love Monsieur Beauregard and Lord Georg as well. But I second Halfetti and Endymion Concentrait. But I want to add Junipersling and Luna for lighter and brighter sommer options.
Please never ever use any other background music than the I C U by Sleepdebt! It’s just so perfect and has become a trademark and is synonymous to your channel! The vibes it gives along with your gestures and your voice is one of the biggest factors the viewers are drawn to you which makes your videos very entertaining to watch and also very comforting and relaxing. The other biggest factor of course is your knowledge and experience in perfumery and your beautiful character, I’d say in general you are a very kind and beautiful soul🙏😇❤️
Ikr !!! I love this song too and downloaded on spotify when i heard iy from Aaron’s videos. The one he used to use on his very first videos called ‘past adventures’ by brandon moeller is quite nice too !
Great to see you review a British house, Halfeti is one of the brands top sellers for a reason! 😊 I actually like the presentation simple but I think it works, the presentation is an ode to tradition, Penhaligon’s have been around since the 1800’s so while they are modern with the perfumery side, I think the presentation fits because they are remembering their heritage. They have lots of fragrances and some of their older discontinued fragrances are great, I actually really like Cornubia I think it was made in 1910! A personal favourite of mine from Penhaligon’s is Kensington Amber, lots and lots of cinnamon and amber!
Hi Aaron, I absolutely love your review. I agree with you that this has a very masculine tone to it. I consider myself a very feminine woman and yet I love wearing this stuff. Purely because it is quite puzzling and intriguing to do so. The quality of this fragrance is astonishing.
Thank you for sending Ambre Extreme, it’s beautiful and so well balanced. I get the French connection. Appreciate your generous additions- I like the Pengaligon house and they do set themselves up as a quaint, old fashioned enterprise. Wearing Anubis today. Best wishes Aaron.
Definitely hope you do more reviews of Penhaligon's fragrances..They've been around since the 1860's! (hence the old timey packaging) They have some kick @$$ scents - My favorite is the Bewitching Yasmine from their portraits collection. Great Video as always...You are a mad scientist Mr Hughes..
Another amazing Aaron review. You speak to me about fragrances in a way that I can comprehend. A good friend of mine does decants and actually has this one in stock. Going to have to get a 5 ml and put my nose on it. I recently got a decent of Amouage Interlude which I ADORED but my wife HATED. Thank God I didn’t blind buy it. 😁Hence why I do decants first.
I’m fairly certain I read somewhere that the bottle and packing are still to the same specs as when they began in the 1860’s (I can’t find that information now though annoyingly, so I can’t say for sure). I love that this house has withstood all these years and still holds true to its roots. I am desperate to get my hands on a bottle of this and I’ll be visiting the shop in London as soon as I am able ✨
The first time I smelled this and Lord George was at Disney World of all places and I was INSTANTLY in love. The Duke, Lord George, and Halfeti were the ones I smelled there and I wanted all 3 of them right then and there but the price was a biiiit out of my range especially after being at Disney for the 2nd day lol but amazing house! Absolutely love them.
I definitely think that this is a scent that you could have easily produced Aaron. It’s everything that you describe. A very accurate review, so thank you very much for this. I’m commenting from a NEW account BTW!
The breakdown makes me think Im actually smelling the product. Planning to buy the eros flame to add to my Dylan blue and eros Much love from the Philippines
I am really intrigued to smell this one now. There is a British house called beufort I would really love to see you check out one day all of their fragrances are really dark, and all my faves tend to be on the darker side of things
Halfeti and it's flankers are very good. Really well done. The caps never stay on the bottles though! Definitely a solid fragrance. Great review as always :)
Absolutely love your reviews! Before I make a purchase I always hop on to your channel to get your input if you’ve covered the fragrance. On another note I’d be really interested to hear your review on a fragrance called Bal A Versailles which is a skanky, animalic classical scent. It’s a fragrance I have in my collection that I enjoy wearing in private, but wouldn’t dare to try out in public!
Finally!!! This house is sooo slept on. Gotta try “The Blazing Mr Sam”…… Super dope frag bro. I had a tester pack from the house and that was my fav. Juniper Sling and As Sawira are also flame. But my fav so far is Mr.Sam.
Halfeti Cedar is another great one. My favorite out of the OG and the flankers. I think you would really love that one to Terrence! Great review as always! 👊🏼
OH AARON! I'm really pleased you've reviewed halfeti, I remember the LUXURY FRAGRANCE BOSS saying its his & his wife's absolute favourite a couple of years ago, I've personally not tried it BUT judging by what the boss said and yourself has just said I'm actually tempted to blind buy it, packaging wouldn't worry me as long as the contents are classy masculine and beautiful, I love classy woody based stuff. SHOULD I SAY WHAT THE HECK AND JUST GET IT.
One of my favorite things to do is what his reviews while smelling the frag he’s reviewing. I love my Halfeti, it was one of those frags that smelled exactly how I expected it to without knowing what it was gonna smell like .. if that makes sense! Lol
I like Halfeti, really want to get my nose on Halfeti Cedar it sounds even better! Also I think the packaging with the animla heads on many of their other bottles looks much more modern and attention grabbing to the average consumer
I just bought one for myself from Regent street, London. It’s just amazing. I really appreciates your genuine review about perfumes. Could you please review new perfume from Moncler. Thank you.
Someone should send him a sample of sartorial, extremely unique aromatic Fougere that uses honey and metallic notes. It is an absolute masterpiece in perfumery, being that he is from the UK and is a perfumer it’s a must try!
Aaron, I know you value originality in fragrance creations, and that's why I want to let you know that Halfeti is a copy/derivative of 'Costume National pour Homme' released in 2009. Would be interested to see you review the original; it has recently been released in a parfum concentration.
So glad to find this house reviewed on this channel. Halfeti's flanker, Halfeti Cedar had been the fragrance i was looking for for at least a couple years. It took a while to start to figure my own fragrance identity. Only as summer approached did I look for something else. Until the fall comes Xerjoffs's Forty Knots is wrapping me in a comfortable dampish amber cloud but I will be back because Halfeti Cedar takes me to a place very dear, personal and timeless to me. Unless I find an ATH that has such comfortable status, mysteriousness and comfort. I am very hopeful and anxious to start trying some as they become available again after summer break.
You must get a sample of Penhaligons "The Blazing Mr Sam", over the past few months i have exposed myself to 100+ fragrances and this was by by my favorite!!!!!!
Excellent Review Aaron Penhaligons excellent house There older bottles rock bowtie , have done for years. But Portraits another cup of tea indeed check out Sohan, Roaring Radcliff, Terrible Teddy, Lord George. Very interested in your review of them.
I agree, it should have more projection, it's a bit timid, for that price I would lile to fill up the room with this smell but people have I have to smell it up close to know is there.
Aaron although I get your point regarding the bottle and styling I guess an understanding of the brand and it’s history then this clearly plays homage to its founder and the brands history from the 1870’s and it’s beginning which was a barber shop type fragrance of London. I guess each to there own but I like fact this brand clearly remembers and respects it’s history and it’s founders and personally like that and it’s very different, I’m late 40’s but again I get what you say would a 20 year old young man pick this up ? I guess he wouldn’t but again for me I like that about the brand and I do like the brand despite me being fairly new to them 👍
Hi Aron. I have only recently stumbled across your channel and I have to say your reviews are head and shoulders about what I see on UA-cam. As you said that halfeti has similarities to what you are working with, could you advise me on one of your products that I would like as I love halfeti and would love to try your products. I will purchase your discovery box but would also like your input. Thanks
Thinking of oldschool or retro fragrances, i'd love to see you review things like Polo Black, Cool Water, Drakkar Noir etc. Some nostaligic ones. I don't think you've done those. :)
Hi Aaron! I hope you're doing fine. Can you please review Fille en aiguilles by Serge Lutens? I wonder if it's overpriced or overhiped, as the frag community is head over heels after that one. Thanks a lot! Hugs!
Awesome, I was waiting for this one! I was actually on my way to buy Aventus but walked past the Penhaligon's store and checked it out and decided to buy this instead. 5 sprays will last until the next day.
Love Penhaligon’s. Tried this as a sample and it is divine. Unfortunately it’s way beyond what I would pay for a fragrance and due to its popularity it will never be on offer.
That's not actually true, Nick - it does appear on offer occassionally. Still not cheap, but I'm sure I saw the gift set (perfume and handwash) for £135 on their website a few months back. They run sales regularly.
Hey Aaron! I am currently in Bulgaria on vacation and because the country is famous for rose and rose oil, I am wondering - which are the things in need to pay attention to when buying real rose oil? I saw some in a few shops which had a light yellow colour, are those legit or is there something else I need to know as a consumer to buy high quality rose oil?
I'm always happy to see Penhaligon's getting reviewed because it's often completely overlooked, even by our British reviewers. There's so many fabulous fragrances this house offers but for me there's 4 fragrances you need to know; HALFETI; SARTORIAL; ENDYMION CONCENTRE; and THE BLAZING MISTER SAM which is personally my favourite, it's the ULTIMATE gents scent and an absolute POWER house.
How good is Mr Sam! I adore it.
If by 'POWER HOUSE" you mean 4 hours lasting then you're in the wrong field . Terrible performance for the cost!
I love Monsieur Beauregard and Lord Georg as well. But I second Halfetti and Endymion Concentrait. But I want to add Junipersling and Luna for lighter and brighter sommer options.
Im thinking about getting Endymion Concentré. I really like that scent. I just don't know anyone who has it to ask about it's performance
Endymion was my first penhaligons, I loved it but for me, Opus is the one

Yeah this is by far the best way to review a fragrance. He knows what he’s talking about.
always a pleasure learning from you :) thank you!
What a fantastic in depth review. I could listen to you all day.
Wow, thanks!
Been waiting for you to review this!!
Finally you discovered Penhaligons! Thanks for the great Video again!
Just heard of this fragrance today and was hoping you had done a review on it and an hour later...
Love your content!

Excellent review! Unique, articulate and expressive. My cousin Matthew is my fav from Penhal’s x

Outstanding review, as always! Greetings from Brasil!
Awesome review Aaron !
Halfeti is incredible and I enjoy it .
It is my favourite house. Really recommending Sohan , Teddy and Endymion concentre.

That’s very kind. Thank you for supporting my work
love how you moves your arms describing the perfume

My pleasure. Thank you for subscribing
Thank you for your fantastic reviews. Penhaligon’s is an often overlooked house which provides tasteful formulations.
Blazing Mr. Sam and Uncompromising Sohan would be interesting to see you review. Thank you for the videos Aaron!
Aaron, your voice is so bloody soothing. I could literally listen to you for hours on end.
Great review! Need to review the halfeti cedar🔥
My favourite fragrance in my collection performance is unbelievable and the projection is amazing
The breakdown makes me think Im actually smelling the product. Planning to buy the eros flame to add to my Dylan blue and eros
Much love from the Philippines
I am really intrigued to smell this one now. There is a British house called beufort I would really love to see you check out one day all of their fragrances are really dark, and all my faves tend to be on the darker side of things

Recommend Cedar? I’m thinking of pulling the trigger.. already have the original Halfeti
@@baraw9305 I do, but only if you like Cedar cuz it does have a very strong Cedar scent to it obviously but to some it can be a little overpowering!
Would LOVE to hear your impressions and review of Penhaligon's Sartorial as well!
I love this scent and I also love the bottle. Simple and classy.
Because of your wonderful reviews and passion I bought 3 different 10ml of ATH from Maxaroma... can't wait to sample some of your fragrances.
Which ones did you go for, just out of interest?
That’s very kind of you to support my work:) thank you
@@AaronTerenceHughes thank you, and much appreciate your videos and passion.
Love your passion for products from our country 🇬🇧
OH AARON! I'm really pleased you've reviewed halfeti, I remember the LUXURY FRAGRANCE BOSS saying its his & his wife's absolute favourite a couple of years ago, I've personally not tried it BUT judging by what the boss said and yourself has just said I'm actually tempted to blind buy it, packaging wouldn't worry me as long as the contents are classy masculine and beautiful, I love classy woody based stuff. SHOULD I SAY WHAT THE HECK AND JUST GET IT.
Always try a sample/decant first!
Sounds like I’ll be giving this one a go. Thank you Aaron. Will you be sending any Adonis to the US/Maxaroma before the supply is gone? I need.
Really love this one. Projection is not its strength, but the sillage is ;)
Do the duke and william penhaligon from penhaligons's review too.......loved the way you described this one I really like it🤩
Thanks Aaron
Would this be layered with Animalix to increase the projection without changing it's identity?
Very Nice Review Aaron
One of my favorite things to do is what his reviews while smelling the frag he’s reviewing. I love my Halfeti, it was one of those frags that smelled exactly how I expected it to without knowing what it was gonna smell like .. if that makes sense! Lol

I love the bow !,,, yes the bottle it’s a nod to their heritage…one of my absolute favourite houses ….love their fragrances…
New exclusive discovery brands.
Thanks Professor A.T.H.
I just bought one for myself from Regent street, London.
It’s just amazing.
I really appreciates your genuine review about perfumes.
Could you please review new perfume from Moncler.
Thank you.
Hi Aaron ! You should check the blazing Mr Sam of this same brand , would love to hear what you think about it .
Someone should send him a sample of sartorial, extremely unique aromatic Fougere that uses honey and metallic notes. It is an absolute masterpiece in perfumery, being that he is from the UK and is a perfumer it’s a must try!
Love the packaging. Men’s fashionable hats have bows
Would you ever do a more in-depth review of this one like you have with other fragrances?

Try penhaligon's 'cairo' one of my favourite fragrances. Plus halfeti has other flankers such as 'Halfeti: cedar' and 'Halfeti: leather'.
Halfeti Cedar is my favorite out of all of them! Great scent for sure!
@@ATLieNole Based on one if his reviews he‘s not that much into cedar note.
It's still a good one like you said though!
@@lonewolf5969 eh , In the final thoughts he literally says ‘I love cedar wood’

Great review, would you say initio oud for greatness has more radiance than this?
Excellent Review Aaron
Penhaligons excellent house
There older bottles rock bowtie , have done for years.
But Portraits another cup of tea indeed check out Sohan, Roaring Radcliff, Terrible Teddy, Lord George.
Very interested in your review of them.
Douro de portugal is my fav of Penhaligons. Has been around since 1911. Such a classic :)
I agree, it should have more projection, it's a bit timid, for that price I would lile to fill up the room with this smell but people have I have to smell it up close to know is there.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Acqua di Parma's Oud & Spice that just got released!
I bought this very same bottle.
I was taking it into my bathroom and I DROPPED it on my tiled floor.
It DIDN'T break!!!
I love the bottle lol
Please review THE BLAZING MISTER SAM by Penhaligons as well.
Hi Aron. I have only recently stumbled across your channel and I have to say your reviews are head and shoulders about what I see on UA-cam.

You'll really love it's flanker Halfeti Leather
Remarkable review,, aroma from heaven
I’d like to see you review Le Lion from Chanel ! Somebody send him a sample plsssss :D
Aaron you need to try Halfeti Leather better more rounded fragrance in my opinion!.
Did you detect real oud in this fragrance? Great review btw!
there's a penhaligons shop near me. favouites ive tried in there are halfeti leather, and babylon
One of my favourites halfeti, beautiful
Hi Aaron you haven't talked about the oud in Helvetic?
Hi Aaron! I hope you're doing fine. Can you please review Fille en aiguilles by Serge Lutens? I wonder if it's overpriced or overhiped, as the frag community is head over heels after that one. Thanks a lot! Hugs!
Aaron sometime in your future you should start your own modern perfumery school. It seems like something you'd be brilliant at.
What fragrance out there you have given a rate of 10?
I love this perfume 🥰 My female coworker loves it
I'm a bit surprised you never heard of this brand. They held a Royal Warrant at one point. Several British royalty do wear their stuff.
i love Halfeti but i dont get great longevity which is frustrating!
Enjoyed Aaron 💥
Thank you for watching
What makes a fragrance last 8+ hours than some that only last about 2/3hours?
Aaron we are waiting for your response, c'mon don't leave us hanging 🤦🏼♂️🤣
I would really like to hear your views on Acqua di Parma Sandalo!
Awesome, I was waiting for this one! I was actually on my way to buy Aventus but walked past the Penhaligon's store and checked it out and decided to buy this instead. 5 sprays will last until the next day.
I think that’s a good call!
I suspect the bottle is based on the history of the house, they were established in 1870. Their portrait collection have more modern bottles.
Ostens Rose oil Isparta is a beautiful rose fragrance.
Aaron, you talk about classic French perfumery. Is there a classic English style?
You know I am not sure
I think of french perfumery and American perfumery. I think a British perfumer is a mix of the both. I speak for myself!
Ive Gone past the shop and it's like the sorcerer's apprentice cartoon ,it draws you to the shop ,but is a tad expensive for a working lad to justify.
Hi Aaron, try Cairo and for you info it's made in Spain. No disrespect to ur knowledge 😘
Halfeti is lovely. But Halfeti Leather is much better. Also try Oud de Nil by penhaligons. Love that one too.
I would like to see your review abt more than words by xerjoff
Does it project strongly?
Love Penhaligon’s. Tried this as a sample and it is divine. Unfortunately it’s way beyond what I would pay for a fragrance and due to its popularity it will never be on offer.
That's not actually true, Nick - it does appear on offer occassionally. Still not cheap, but I'm sure I saw the gift set (perfume and handwash) for £135 on their website a few months back. They run sales regularly.
NICE, But, why after 2hours is gone ?
Dont stay on the skin more then 2hours 😔
Is jt a summer or winter fragrance??
They made their first fragrance in 1872, and have barely changed their packaging in 150 years, that's why the bottle looks so old school.
Hey Aaron! I am currently in Bulgaria on vacation and because the country is famous for rose and rose oil, I am wondering - which are the things in need to pay attention to when buying real rose oil? I saw some in a few shops which had a light yellow colour, are those legit or is there something else I need to know as a consumer to buy high quality rose oil?
Rose at 100% concentration is dark red and thick
@@AaronTerenceHughes So in yellow colour it means it's diluted?
