The first time I watched a video of yours I left a very rude comment. I would like to apologize for what I said. Now I have been watching all of your videos and can’t stop. The way you relate your thoughts and emotion is beautiful. I not only listen to what you are saying but more and more I am understanding what you are saying. I love fragrances and it’s an addiction because it causes this uncontrollable feeling of goodness that is just so soothing. Thank you for taking your time to make these videos. I love them and hope you don’t ever stop. It’s one of my favorite parts of my day!
I went into my local John Lewis to the Chanel stand and she was the same... First class customer's service and no pushy sales acts. Obviously train their staff very well
Aaron you have my favourite house for dark, thick, nighttime fragrances by far, and Chanel is my favourite house for anything light. Always love seeing the respect you have for the different style of perfumery
Glad you got to review Le Lion I picked up a 200 ml of this the day I smelled for the first time. This is my favorite fragrance I purchased this year besides portrait of a lady!
Wow, how can I express myself. I went to a Chanel boutique and tried Le Lion on my wrist, it got me sort of addicted and in love but I'm still wondering if it's worth it, because we're movin into spring/summer. And I hoped to see some good reviews of it, and I see Aaron has done one, I don't need to look any further. This will determine if I buy it or not. Thank's Aaron you're the best.
It's not a perfume that stands out to me at first, but then, the drydown last forever and getting whiffs during the next 10-12 hours is delightful... It's kind of powdery but smells like woody honey... It's honestly great! It's just very expensive hence why I don't have a bottle yet, but it is definitely on my wishlist!
The only way to test channel is spraying on skin only and keep smelling your arm for 2 hours to identify the notes and changes to get the real story of the frag.
The first time I tried this fragrance, I put it on a blotter and I really liked it, but I didn't buy it. Then I applied it to the blotter a couple of times during the year when I was in the clothing store and also enjoyed it at home, sometimes sniffing it, and that time the consultant offered to put it on my hand which i didn't. Once, after some time, I visited a friend and what do you think? Le lion lay on the shelf, and this time I did put on my hand. After that, even when it left, days later, this fragrance appeared in the brain, although I had something else on me and I realized that I had to take it! One of my favorite fragrances, but I perfectly understand what you mean by saying that it is not for you. Imagine a wild lion's mane was perfumed with a very light vanilla patchouli citrus scent, and after 5-6 hours when the scent almost gone you buried yourself in the lion's mane. That's how Le Lion smells to me! A very gentle Chanel-like restrained animalic perfume. Very much for me! Oh and that incense note in the heart of the scent.. As if this lion is a frequent visitor to a shaman who often burns incense.
With that glitter-star sound effect at the start, it's about time computers should get smart enough to follow your waving hand around and insert all those glimmering stars at all the right places. Video is less without it. Especially on xmas. Also, before I clicked on the video, I said to myself "Aaron's going to pronounce lion in the regular English way." You should do a video with Clemence once, her English with a heavy French accent and your French with heavy English accent would complement each other well. And the both of you have great personalities. Love how you gave the shop a bit of airtime. All customers should be treated with respect, always. And without preconceived notions and prejudices. Bergamot is so perfect, it even goes with tea. :P
Since you've tried most od the Chanels, and I consider myself a Chanel conisseur, I must again recommend you next try Antaeus by Chanel which is one of the two Chanels made to be slightly dirty animalic. You would like it.
Great review, great fragrance! My experience in the Chanel boutique at Holt Renfrew, Vancouver has always been top notch as well. Not pushy and very professional!
I really didn't enjoy this fragrance at all, although I couldn't articulate exactly why, perhaps because it smells old fashioned. Although I like strong fragrance I felt this was too strong, but that's probably because it has notes that don't agree with my taste. A great review, as usual x
It's a very technical description, so it's interesting but for non professionals I think it doesn't tell at all how it smells. For me it has a leathery animalic feel. I appreciate it but I'm not sure if I like it.
Interestingly you almost didn’t mention the labdanum. A wonderful ingredient. I think it’s a bridging ingredient, to get the citrus scents and woody scents balanced out and bound together. I have come to really appreciate and like it since smelling this component for the first time. When I’m ready to compose a fragrance for my skincare line (in development and it will be in a separate bottle so people have a choice to add it or not) I will definitely include labdanum in it.
@Aaron could you review one of the following discontinued fragrances from by Kilian - Apple Brandy (OG), Single Malt, Straight to Heaven EXTREME? These are my top boozy fragrances forever. I would be very interested in your point of view:) Many thanks..
I regret wearing this to work although I enjoyed the experience I am not sure others felt the same way. This stuff is just opulent and ridiculous in a way. 😂
either you love or you dislike Chanel perfumes we have to admit that all their scents have a delicate-classy aura
definitely

There are perfume reviewers and then there’s Aaron… Aaron is the niche version of perfume reviews!!! Love your work!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for this for so long, clicked right away as i saw the notification ! I’d like to see you review Coromandel one day too !
January 22
Yes coromandel! What Santa brought me this year 😂
@@AaronTerenceHughes Awesome news !
How about Boy? 😜
@@petervanderpas1615 i think he’d like it actually

Didn't know that Chanel operates in stands or am I misinterpreting something?
Aaron you have my favourite house for dark, thick, nighttime fragrances by far, and Chanel is my favourite house for anything light. Always love seeing the respect you have for the different style of perfumery
That’s amazing. I know how hard it is to create fragrance which is why I try to be respectful
Glad you got to review Le Lion I picked up a 200 ml of this the day I smelled for the first time. This is my favorite fragrance I purchased this year besides portrait of a lady!
Aaron, another perfect review from you. Your reviews are the GOLD standard on how fragrances should be reviewed on UA-cam.
Deep deep facts.
I just love Aaron’s wonderful voice and the quality of his audio set-up. Like someone else mentioned, enjoyed listening to the Selfridges anecdote.
The little stories about your purchases really are great! Love it!

This one’s a my Christmas gift for myself. It’s beautiful perfume. Stunning, gorgeous and addictive
I agree. It was my Christmas gift to myself in 2020. It will always remind me of Christmas in church with Incense burning.
It's not a perfume that stands out to me at first, but then, the drydown last forever and getting whiffs during the next 10-12 hours is delightful... It's kind of powdery but smells like woody honey... It's honestly great! It's just very expensive hence why I don't have a bottle yet, but it is definitely on my wishlist!
I love this fragrance. It is so comforting and it stays for more than 48 hours on my skin. That is after the shower too. It is absolutely insane.
I get Shalimar and Ambre Sultan vibes from Le Lion also. The citrus up top with the amber, Incense and leather accords are a very interesting mix.
The only way to test channel is spraying on skin only and keep smelling your arm for 2 hours to identify the notes and changes to get the real story of the frag.
Fr tho. Spraying chanel fragrance on paper strips is waste.
True you can't smell chanel on yourself if you spray it behind the ear or neck
Always love your reviews I really enjoy how you break down the notes and describe fragrances! Hope you have a fantastic Christmas!

You have a Soothing voice. At last a reviewer that doesn't shout! 😅🥰
Love Le Lion! Craving for it! It is great!
its time for your top 10 of the year Aaron 😁
Aaron you should review Xerjoff Symphonium, it would be so interesting listening to your thoughts about it.
Merry Xmas Aaron. 🎄
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🏻

Happy New Year Aaron!!!! Hope your doing Well and very Nice Review today!!!
Ah man I’m so sad you didn’t like this. It was love at first sniff for me. I wonder if it would grow on you
Is Leon perfume better than Coromandel? Please help me, as I am torn between choosing Leon or Coromandel
Le Lion is a million times better than Coromandel.
Like you're take on fragrances and reviews, just subscribed I'm looking forward to trying out some of your fragrances
I see Aaron uploads, I click. Simples
Great review, as usual! Maybe you can do one for Sycomore. Cheers!
I couldn’t try it at the boutique only buy it so missed very interesting
I love it, I find it smoky, does anyone get that?
I get a 1740 vibe as well. Great scent though
Great review as always!!!
More of cold weather fragrance.
Love your reviews bro
Merry Humbug Unicorn fam! 🦄
It's a very technical description, so it's interesting but for non professionals I think it doesn't tell at all how it smells. For me it has a leathery animalic feel. I appreciate it but I'm not sure if I like it.
It's not leather, it's the labdanum that gives that smokey incency leather vibe and i love it
@@pullingthestrings5233 there is no real "leather" extract so yes it's always a mix of other notes.

Good release, like Coromandel more though
Would love for you to review chanel's coromandel!
Merry Christmas 🎁
Merry Christmas big man x
Marry Christmas to you
I keep hearing good things about John Varvatos Vintage. I'd love to see what you think of it.
Don't know but I find this parfum more for women than man or unisex, it reminds me of habit rouge de Guerlain. Classic parfum not for everyone
I just tried a sample on a Chanel Card from Selfridges.
It's nice but not that nice I'd pay the extreme price
Aaron you need to do one on sycamore by chanel its banging. No vlogger has it
Great review as always! Are you considering to review Chanel Egoïste?
LEYKIS loves this channel.
I wanted to ask you to consider trying & reviewing The Noir 29 by Le Labo. It is my favorite fragrance
Can this be worn in spring/summer Aaron? Or should I wait till next fall/winter before buying.
Remarkable review
Please do your favorite 2021 fragrances video
@Aaron could you review one of the following discontinued fragrances from by Kilian - Apple Brandy (OG), Single Malt, Straight to Heaven EXTREME? These are my top boozy fragrances forever. I would be very interested in your point of view:) Many thanks..
Pronounced as "lu(h) lee-on"
To my nose, all I smelled was a bandaid. Did not like even 1%. I had high hopes because of the name.

Would like to hear your opinion on Guerlain Bois mysterieux
Awesome! Please review Jubilation XXV by Amouage!

Crown royal sultan would be a great review!
Willl you be reviewing Fragrance Du Bois PM?

Please review BOY by Chanel

Safe legal and ethyl Motol.
I regret wearing this to work although I enjoyed the experience I am not sure others felt the same way. This stuff is just opulent and ridiculous in a way. 😂

👍👍👍👍
Want to pick your brain? Try Comme des Garcons "2".

Haha you couldn't fool her 🤣
The Chanel thing, masculine. Not for me.😘
The woman at Chanel didn’t know who you were… your ego is showing
This is honestly GOD AWFUL!

I think your hands may have ADHD
