What I love about Aaron's reviews is that he gives them credit whilst saying they're not for him, honesty.
I respect and love the art of perfumery. I understand the time, Money and skill to create something. Your never hear me do negative reviews every. (Unless they are unsafe or over priced and the company is ripping you off)
yea since he's a perfumer it's really the most honest review, he reviews on the actual juice itself, how it's blended, how the notes work with each other. not just one of these dime a dozen guys who's reviewing it on a personal level and if they like it or not.
What I love about Aaron’s reviews is how fantastic he always feels! That’s so calmly positive and professional.
I love Dark Rebel. The best JV scent. It just grabs attention and is SO GOOD and not off putting, despite not being a mass appealing freshie.
I can't get enough of your reviews. There's so much raw unique soul mixed with poetry and seasoned with knowledge within each and every review you make. I also am literally tingling feeling the genuine nature of your personality that shows through. I think you are an extremely passionate gem of a human being and am grateful to be able to experience your content. You have also immensely increased my awareness of real value in perfumery - I'm in a quest to find some new exciting fragrances for myself, inspired by a total lack of smell and taste I've experienced having covid and I'm so happy I found you here. Please, keep making your reviews - they nurture our souls with what's absolutely the best in this world.
As someone who talks with his hands a lot, I love how much he communicates with his hands. It really does help flesh out the meaning of his words for me. This is something that can't be taught. It's felt.
When aaron says welcome back with his hands stretched i imagine the mystical wave must be fragrant. 10/10 reviews
So happy to see this reviewed and thrilled that you enjoy it! This was one of my first fragrances and its still among my favorites. You must try Dark Rebel Rider as well as John Varvatos Oud (You wont find the oud as much but its amazing). Keep them coming!
Which is better oud or rebel?
hi aaron . been binge watching your recent reviews. i've gotten away from watching frag com stuff because i was buying to many fragrances. your reviews are amazing. your honesty , knowledge , and sense of humor are so entertaining. keep up the good work . peace .
You really hit the nail on the head with this review! I love Dark Rebel it’s fantastic and something darker and different from a usual designer fragrance!
My maaaaan!!! you like dark rebellll :D it’s my fave! (huge fan btw, first time ever commenting on UA-cam I couldn’t hold in the excitement haha anyway I just gotta tell u I love the hell out of you man and keep doing what you doing fam you da fkn man dude love from Melbourne, Australia
thanks for the review . i could watch your videos for hours , theres sooo much passion . ure truly one of a kind :D btw more from john varvatos please ! greets from austria :D
Waiting for a review of Carolina Herrera CH Men Prive
me too!
Absolutely love this fragrance! I'm always happy to hear your thoughts fragrances because it makes me think of them in a way I didn't think of before.
Keep up the good work!
Oh i love this fragrance for so long. Very cool Review your amazing Aaron. And yes it lasts
Had 3 bottles of this...it's heavy leather, rum smell I adore...doesn't last as long as I'd hoped for unfortunately... definitely one I use regular.. excellent review once again.
Thank you for the great review! I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the Guerlain L’Homme Ideal line and mainly the EDP which to my untrained nose is very beautiful and well-crafted.
👆Yes! 👆
I’m shocked. I was so sure you wouldn’t like this based on the fact that I haven’t been a huge fan of John Varvatos fragrances. Goes to show to each their own. I’m curious enough to try this one now just to see if I like it. As usual, your reviews are great, whether I agree or disagree with you just based on your knowledge. So informative, thank you. Will try a decent of this soon.
Yet another amazing review, thanks Aaron, and keep up this work, it is a revelation!
My pleasure
i bought this as soon as i got to 3:30 in the video, not worn it yet but had a good sniff :) cant wait to combo it with animalix
i dont see it taking over my fave slot, thats fahrenheit hands down.
Thank you Aaron. Btw background and your tatoos are perfect combinations.
I found this at Burlington just about 20 minutes ago 2.5 oz for $25 and stood there for the duration of this video just to see if i should buy it and when I saw you loved it I got it right away and I enjoy it very much
Just picked up a 2.5 from TJs for $25 today cuz someone was also eying it and I didn’t want to miss out lol
Please review Vintage from the same house. Love your videos Aaron :))
Aaron is by far The best frag reviewer out there . Cheers from Australia buddy.
Great review, specially when John Varvatos is in difficult financial situation.
This one is so great "Dark rebel"
It is the only J.V. that last 11 hours on me in winter season.
And I bought it 40€ on internet.
As I said great review again dear Aaron.👍
Aaron you’re awesome! I truly enjoy and look forward to your content
Awesome! Thank you!
Dark rebel is one unique frag, the best from JV in my opinion. Its not to everyones taste since it gravitates to certain style n personality, but personally i love it for how it portrays, how its blended, n the scent is just enigmatic. The price for it is beyond gd, but the whole JV line/business will be discontinued which made every one attack the market to get whats left of stock, which made prices start to bang on.
It’s so funny how you said “the wood I can never pronounce” and I know exactly what you’re talking about
Im dyslexic. I hear it in my brain but the wiring goes messy and I dont even bother.
Guy yack?
Akigala wood
Fantastic review Aaron..... the Dark Rebel Rider flanker has exactly the bottle design you are looking for. Black leather(ish) with zips ect.
I’m glad you love this because this is a love of mine and a winter signature scent of mine! And I’m exactly as you explained... love patchouli and the smoke and leather!
Amazing.
I love your reviews.....so informative and a joy to listen to! ;)
Great review as always Aaron..Waiting for your thought's on Terre de hermes "edt/edp" please
Really good description and artistic taste. Sounds like you appreciate the detail, beauty and work the creator put into this scent- even if it is not entirely "up your street". Don't know it yet - but will definately give it a try
This is one of my favorites, and you like it. Wowzers. I'm totally not any of the things you mentioned personality-wise, but I DO like it.
I’ve know of this fragrance for a long time. Never tried it, never interested. But your review has changed my mind and I’m actually excited to try it out.
Get a sample. Its heavy in animal notes.
Gosh, he can himself be a really f boy when he feels an urge to it … he puts it so genuinely natural.. one of the best reviews from him definitely!
Dear Aaron.
Please please review Creeds Erolfa please.
He should try dark rebel rider. So good
Another great review! Love your honesty and skill.
This is one of the many fragrances that I like and actually planned on wearing it to the office when we get a bit cooler here. I have worn a wide variety of stronger scents along the way including Armani Prive Rose d'Arabie & Ambre Eccentrico, Chanel Coromandel, several different Amouages, etc. all with no complaints. Plus I have a couple of people who always want to smell what I am wearing.
I think more people want something different and unique. Not everyone wants to smell like Aventus
Hey
A little surprised (not much) that you liked this so much. And you are right, person rather than age. I've actually stocked up on this cause it works for me.
As far as performance, JV frags suck for that, but not this for I. It lasts on me and i get a good 5-6 hrs(2 sprays) b4 it is skin scent. Add a 3rd spray on your clothes, or layer with something and you got attitude. Thanks for your thoughts Aaron.
Love this stuff! Great review
Searched & searched for this JV fragrance, being that it’s discontinued was very hard, then I found a small store that had 4 gift boxes that came with a travel atomizer. Yep I bought them all. 👍🏼
I own this John Vervatos... and I'm glad you approve of it. Now I want to wear it more
This guy is different. So he will become more and more popular. I just liked and subscribed. 👍👍
Got this in the mail a week ago, it is freaking INCREDIBLE. Smoky campfire and leather jackets. Even more it on a first date. He could still smell it after I couldn't. There's still remnants of it 8 hours later.
OMG! Aaron, you genius! Yesterday I finnaly smelled your Onyx. Incredibly stunning! So excited you chose this profession. Waiting for the US delivery. Max Aroma is mostly sold out. But that little yummy taste of ATH got me hooked!!! Wow factor 15 out of 10!
Men Of Mayhem 🦄🦄🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🧚♀️
it doesnt last long which fucking sucks because the scent is literally the most comforting, warm thing ive ever smelled and i love it so much haha
Rodrigo Flores-Roux, is the perfumer for this who also happens to be the same guy who has done some work in Tom Fords range. Neroli Portofino, Arabian wood, to name a couple.
This is one of my favorite fragrances ever and I’m a bit of a niche snob, and I with you were right about the longevity however that’s it’s downfall.
I’ve bought frags based on his reviews and I have not been disappointed yet. Mancera Red Tobacco is amazing.
Im amazed at what the fragrance tells you just from smelling it (performance and quality especially) that is an incredible talent. This fragrance doesn't wash off easily in shower either
Love this fragrance, picked it up at TJ max
Great review of dark rebel
Thank you for reviewing this. I had my doubts but, not anymore. I just bought it. I trust your natural instinct than any other reviewer.
There is one I woud LOVE you to review: Bvlgari Le gemme "ONEKH".
Great review Aaron! I love this frag and gifted it to my bf, he said he gets a lot of compliments on it! Even though he works mostly on office environment but is very anti - establishment by nature, a true Dark Rebel 😀I hear from other people testing it that it doesn't last a ton though...
I like how he described how he wanted it to be packaged and described it perfectly :)
I love wearing Dylan Blue then the next day wearing Dark Rebel as well as something like Tom Ford Tobacco Oud. That’s what is so cool about fragrances, expressing different parts of your personality. So...I guess I’m complicated
Love dark rebel. It's sad to know JV may go out of business.
They won’t, they are about to be sold off to another company
@@Jonathan-rp5ig hadn't heard about that, I saw a few weeks back they had filed for bankruptcy. If what you say it's true I'm very glad cause its almost a niche house without the niche prices
I own 3 bottles so if you ever need one and can’t find it hit me up lol
Stephen Criley they are going to sell a part of JV and letting the rest of the company go bankrupt - as far as I know
@@RTM459 u still got them 😂
It does smell decent. Doesn't last long for a dark fragrance.
Love this guy! 🏆🏆🏆
My personal favorite from JV is probably artisan pure. The performance is pretty bad but the smell takes me back to visiting the beach in Connecticut. Rodrigo Flores-Roux is the perfumer for JV.
It's actually crazy how fragrances perform differently on people because I also love artisan pure the most, but on me I can get 9ish hours of performance from it.
love your reviews. Have the rebel in my collection. best greetings from germany.
This is a hidden gem of a fragrance. Just wish it last longer on my skin.
I could make it last longer. Its amazing for the price though
I would love for you to review A man Thierry Mugler the original formulation. The one that was in a silver case . I think you would really like it as it had massive projection & personality. It performed like a beast and is a provoking scent ...
SO GOOOD!!!
I really like the theatrics of Your personality ,Very unique genuine !! This fragrance is Fight Club !! Dave at 55.
Leather fragrances have always made me nauseous; I've had a long-time memory association with the leather scent of the interior of a car, and motion sickness which I had a lot as a kid (still do if I'm not the one driving). Unless the accord is buried deep and creatively, I can't do them. For me, Dark Rebel is a leather bomb, I was instantly sick on first sniff. Cheers Aaron, as always.
As always a perfect an entertaining reveiw so good when you find affordable designers that give the tingles aha Fyi people are buying up John varvatos thinking they might get discontinued hence the fluctuating price , if anyones tempted to try this one sooner the better as it's all getting bought up and re sold at a more premium price
These all over the place prices are crazy
I’ve been on the fence about buying this one but I wasn’t sure if it would be good because it’s so cheap but after your review, which was great I know what I’m going to do. Thanks!
Iyou really can’t go wrong with any JV just make sure a few take a few more blast . Now the only one I don’t like is the JV U.S.A .
It's great frag, esp for the price, don't second thought it!
Love this.. had 3 bottles...for me longevity could be better but still a winner..
Hello Aaron,
I love your channel and reviews. Would you please makr one on the classic John Varvatos fragrance?
Thank you,
Eldar
Got the Dark Rebel today cause I'm Mexican the Mexican Vanilla in it lol... $25 for a 2.5. the designer creator from my Hometown Detroit Michigan so looks like a great purchase!!! 😎
This is discontinued now. As Aaron said one for an anti establishment person. Definitely rock this aftershave with a leather jacket with boots. It's an absolutely brilliant fragrance.
Big up yuh self bro, love from Trinidad 🇹🇹
Enjoyed Aaron, God Bless
Just picked this up today for 24 bucks at marshalles excellent buy
I had been looking for this fragrance everywhere. It was sold out on just about every platform. I walked into a TJ maxx (tk maxx in the uk I think) and found it on a bottom shelf covered in dust for 25.00. I absolutely love this one. I a hundred percent agree with his fetish recommendation. As someone who’s is part of the scene, one of my go to dungeon scents. 🦄
You should do MOSCHINO TOY BOY ! Would be lovely to watch that
That shit stink!!!do not buy this
music, quality sound and video, description, whistly voice, PLEASANT content and nice review, agree with your description.
btw, what microphone are you using?
My Dark Rebel fluctuates in performance. I wore mine at work. After I got home, my gf got a whiff of the fragrance and complimented. So that's 9 hours of performance.
Castoreum and leather? Now that sounds like my type of perfume.
I'd love to see your review on Toy Boy, I think you may find it interesting.
I love toy boy....I d idnt think I would. From opening to dry down. I think I will purchase soon
@@sly11benal7 I tested it in a shop and went for a blood test. The nurse said "I don't know what cologne is that but it smells marvelous" I bought it right after leaving the clinic. Lol. It's surprisingly strong, bold, fun, risky, and well blended.
Aaron I'd like to try your set but I live in USA some issue with the tin won't let it ship, are you planning to change up the packaging in the future to make it acceptable for world wide shipping. Great video keep up the great work.
Just picked it up. Loooove this.
Like the shirt man 👊🏽
Nex time you must try Zirh IKON - 15 Euro for 125 ml and it is stunning, very dark, mature, masculine and sexy fragrance.
Can you do Carlisle by parfumerie de marly
I love it but it doesn't last! The John Varvatos fragrance curse. You gotta spray tf outta this to make it last longer than a few hours.
Next, lalique encre noir al extreme, im pretty sure u will be tingeling a LOT!
Welll ... he's not so fond of vetiver so he might tingle in the wrong way 😊
Yes, i knew you would like this. It reminds me of your filth. The whole range is nicely put together with some mature scents, some nice blue summer scents, bad boy ones. Great price for a nice range
Perfect price. Yes reminds me of my fetish range.
What do you think of the Dark Rebel Rider? That comes bound in leather around the bottle.
My face frag in my collection. Really fits my personality haha. Love to galavanting around in this one haha
Man, that initial how are you? I'm fantastic.reminds me of an english teacher i had long time ago.
Best regards

Do you know any similar perfumes like Dark Rebel??
Thank u.
I'd say if you're lookin' for something with similar characteristics, ..hmm...maybe consider sampling Givenchy - Gentlemen Only Absolute. It's a fuller, heavier scent, even more for the fall/winter and colder days. I see Rebel as a little more versatile. Another one you could try, but it's even more different than Rebel, would be Lomani's Spice Addict (from the private collection).
These were the only two I loved similarly, that is until I picked up the Dark Rebel 🙂
Great review. Spot on though I though the longevity was shorter than it should have been. Owned a bottle and gave it away, total regret on my part.
Aaron, your videos are great. Would you please review Encre Noir A l'Extreme by Lalique? It's a very controversial fragrance, very unique
I’m not sure , but have you tried RoccoBarocco 1987 or Arrogance Pour Homme? I have a felling you’ll be pleasantly surprised
You would absolutely adore Jo malone myrrh and tonka, trust me
This is my favorite fragrance. As I’m just now discovering your channel and product line, do you have any fragrances that are in the genre/ dirty style as Dark Rebel? I’d love to try it out!
Does it last and project?
@@anusrectus On my skin it performs exceptionally
I can't find Dark Rebel anymore.
I don't know if you'll read this - or maybe someone else will....
My skin holds onto fragrances brilliantly. I've been able to smell some scents as skin scents after 4 days and three thorough shower sessions.......very few fragrances do not last at least 8 hours....
BUT most fragrances do not project even when freshly applied. Literally almost nothing can be smelt by anyone until they are a few centimeters away (le Male is one of the rare exceptions).....
Do you Aaron, or anyone else have any thoughts?
Well, you will get your flanker with a leather "thing" wrapped around if you try "Dark Rebel Rider" from the same house ;-) This is even heavier on leather
