@@kyle_vr absolu is a 10/10 perfect fragance, profumo is a 9/10 almost perfect fragance, you will get the same amount of compliments with both, but absolu will make you feel more confident and masculine, profumo is more powdery...
@@thegoodfoke3606 Profumo is very feminine to me. Idk, I think I find lots of things feminine that maybe are not just due to any overuse of florals, sweetness, or being powdery, but I've heard things described as powdery that are not to me. Profumo is a bit powdery, but it is very sweet, powdery, and soft, and I think that and Givenchy Gentleman Reserve and Dior Homme Intense are all so feminine they could easily be women's scents, but then the same is true of Tom Ford's Black Orchid.
Code Absolu is one of my favorites. I recently found it at a beauty shop in a local outlet shopping mall for $45, 110ml. It was actually the last one. Lady said they had loads and sold all of them. I almost bought a female one by mistake. Then I asked her if she could look for anymore of the male version. She remember one in the front window of the shop. I think it checked-out as a 2019 batch. Smells perfectly amazing just like every other example I’ve smelled. $45US you have to be kidding me, this is the best fragrance purchases I’ve ever made. Scent and price, amazing retail store find etc... 😁🤩😏🥰🥰🥳
"Oooh this is very nice!" Just loved the naughty look on your face after you smelled it.😄So interesting how a fragrance can take us to another world... Great, great review!👌
I smelled this in store and I had to stop myself from buying it for me. I don't know why I did. I can wear whatever I want, marketing be damned! I'm getting a bottle of this. Thanks for sharing!
I ordered Onyx and it arrived yesterday and holy sh!t its amazing. VERY well done Aaron, you made my two favorite rose scents smell like old socks by comparison. I WILL be getting more. This is a masterpiece, please never discontinue it or I will be very sad. It is officially my "signature scent". I also greatly appreciate the effort you took in packing it to make damn sure it arrived safely and intact. I'm ordering the larger bottle when I run out. 5 stars, 10/10.
Your reactions alone give me the inspiration to conduct a so called “blind buy” purchase. In other words I completely trust your perspectives and in depth analysis of the chemical breakdown analysis of a fragrance/House. Thank you Mr. Hughes!
I absolutely love watching your reviews. I think it's the passion that keeps bringing me back. I love watching people that are passionate about what they do, especially when it comes to art...perfumery, cooking, music, etc. I feel in the art world so many have lost their way. They traded passion for attempted money or fame. When you see that spark in a person, it makes all the difference...the quality is second to none.
I received Absolu last week as a gift and am already in love with the scent. Already thinking about purchasing a large backup bottle incase they reformulate this. Definitely signature-scent worthy.
This will be my all-time signature scent from now on since this is the only one (I believe), he gave a rate of 10!😘 May the powers that be protect Aaron! I want him to be as successful as Killian Hennessy and Tom Ford! Oh... the new TRINITY!😘👍🏻😎
I love this video, the energy Aaron is emitting is absolutely infectious and makes me feel the emotions along side him. I could watch this video multiple times and just feel amazing. It absolutely makes me happy.
Everyone seems to love this fragrance and I've put off purchasing it because of all the hype. However, after absorbing your reaction, it will be my next purchase. Love your reviews, your knowledge and presentation. Thanks Aaron!
@@marshjj3788 I did pick up Code Absolu, special price $88 for 200ml and it's as good as everyone says. Pretty incredible, like a warm hug on a winter's day.
@@ohfour-seven6228 Nice man. Don't waste your money on the code parfum it's a mish-mash of other sweet designer fragrances and it lasts 2-3 hours on my skin. Like One Million once that fizzy fruity opening goes it smells garbage tbh.
@@marshjj3788 Wow, sorry to hear you wasted your money on it. I'm good with Absolu, don't need any other Code flankers. But thanks for the warning, much appreciated!
You have just sold me on this, was tempted to buy it but you have done a number on this review. also just found your channel so defo get a sub for this review. Your voice is like smooth as well, like ASMR, pleasure to listen to
I own both Armani Code Absolu and Armani Code Profumo. Both are discontinued but can still be found online here and there. I buy a lot of cologne, probably 40 bottles in the past few years alone, and I must say that these two are my favorite colognes. When I spray these on I feel I smell nice. Profumo is a tiny bit sweeter than Absolu but they are very similar. I also went to Bloomingdales the other day and tried on Parfum De Marly Althair. Very similar to these as well. I love, love, loved that too. I didnt buy it but I will most likely be my next purchase.get any of these 3 and you cant lose.
This one is fantastic on me i’ve never gotten so much attention from a fragrance before from women and it performs like a monster gentlemen no more than three sprays if you spray four times I promise you people across the room can smell you and if that’s what you want then go for it 100% I’ve had people ask me what I was wearing with wide eyes and enthusiasm before it’s so amazing I have to admit this is an absolute masterpiece even though it’s a designer fragrance
I had to get the big bottle of this one when it came out, even paid full retail which I never usually do. This and Tom Ford Noir Extreme are my "signature" nighttime fragrances
Sought this out after watching Aaron’s review and immediately fell for it. It’s everything as described in the video. I’m also reminded of one of the ATH fragrances during dry down, which is fabulous in itself.
A new review from ATH, yeeeee .. all the unicorns. I am very grateful for your contribution to perfume world, stay healthy! I just bought the new Code eau de parfum .. so thrilled.
Hi Aron I got ur ozone it is superb in quality.and it's last 3 days on my cloths .24 hours on my skin even after shower 🚿 thanks a million for ur superb creations God bless you
What a wonderful review. Thank you! I have this particular one, and it’s fabulous. I believe Armani fashion and his fragrances are always simply a hit. I recall reading an article on Armani - in GQ or Esquire - and the women remarking how he always smelled wonderful. No doubt. Cheers Aaron! 🥂
It's the best blind buy I've ever purchased. I've had it for a week and outbof 70 bottles this has leaped into my top 3. Masterpiece gets thrown around too often but it's applicable here. 10/10.
I can tell this thing is making you go crazy. That's what I was hoping.. that you like it and give it high marks. This has a special place in my heart, I love the smell and feel of quality. Cheers!
@@AaronTerenceHughes I already owned Absolu, I immediately purchased Side Effect after your reaction video, as I’ve found your olfactory preferences very similar and the most closely aligned with mine, and since I respect yours immensely, you make decision making so much easier for me. I truly adore you and your energy, your love of animal rights only makes me respect you more (my dogs are severely damaged goods, rescued from horrific abuse; the kindest souls are drawn towards those); not being sycophantic, but you truly are the TITS!!! 😘❤️
Wooooow, this is the first designer that u ever gave a 10/10, I did not expect this at all. Previous 10/10s were carlile side effect and pardon if I remember correctly
Great review! Really appreciate your descriptions 🤗 Only one fragrance tops the sensual context (going to, wanting to, let's be slowly intimate context) for me though.... Francesca Bianchi's "Under My Skin"....
VERY late to this party as it's been discontinued and you may never see this, but I ordered a sample of this recently and it was fantastic. But I'm not sure I was sent Code Absolu, I was sent a little decant that SAYS Code Absolu on it. Sprayed it on a square of tp, and it smells immediately of watermelon rind, cucumber, watery notes, this stuff smells like a Caribbean vacation. Even better on the skin. I liked it so much I bought a full bottle from a re-seller. New, sealed in box. Smelled it... There is just absolutely no way these two are the same cologne. It's not a horrible smell, but it's about as different as Sospiro Vibrato vs. Drakkar Noir. In a head-to-head comparison these just can't be the same fragrance. This stuff smells like I'm shoving my nose in a bouquet of grocery store roses, like it's a syrupy rose extract, with a heady lavender and a very minor chocolate hit. And the opening smelled like straight-up nail polish remover. I'd love to know what you think I should be smelling here, because from the reviews I've seen, it shouldn't smell like the decant does. The decant smells like it would be perfect with a Hawaiian shirt and a refreshing adult citrus spritzer kind of drink. So what do you think is going on here, was I duped on the sample? Or perhaps was the bottle of Absolu that I got wrecked by probably sitting in a 12,000 degree garage for a year before this person sent it to me?
I’ll have to smell this again now that my nose has developed more. I remember wearing this a few times and being put off by a strange almost petrol type smell.
Now that you say that i know what you mean but then again I enjoy smelling like petrol! Dior Fahrenheit goes straight up gasoline stained leather jacket on my skin so sexy
@@patrickbateman4541 Oh I love Fahrenheit! But I think what bothers my nose with Code Absolu is there’s a sort of fuzziness that I find a irritating. Absolu has a suede accord so maybe that’s why?
I was never interested in Armani fragrances as they appear too generic to me. But I fully trust your taste and since you love it so much I am probably gonna order it :)
Love your reviews great job Aaron, huge huge respect for your work. There’s a fragrance private line released in 2019 from Chopard called Garden of the kings (the perfumer was Alberto Morillas) Chopard uses in this line oud Assafi as it’s dominant note,I fell in love with it. I absolutely recommend this line to you to do a review of one of these exceptional fragrances. PS. I have the agar Royal).
Could be my favourite fragrance out of the 37 I own . Absolutely fantastic. Must get another bottle as back up . If only all my other frags were as good 🤔🙄. Cheers Aaaron
I can literally buy any fragrance you like since apparently we have similar taste haha :) On that note you might like 1740 from Histoires de Parfums (history of perfumes) which to me in the dry down is so sweet and sexy
I had it since last year as a gift and really hated it as i could only smell sweetness. I gave it a chance today and few hours after I love it, so different from all the amber/wood/our/leather perfumes i usually like for cold seasons
It's been discontinued, unfortunately. Armani is liquidating it's remaining stock currently. I just picked up 400ml. 200ml bottles are $88 with promo code "secretaccess".
Aaron I have a question. On the code profumo video you said you preferred code profumo massively over code absolu. But you gave profumo a 9/10 and you gave absolu a 10/10. Do you now prefer code absolu? Or would you now rate code profumo a 10/10? Love your content btw you have an amazing channel and can binge watch for days
When you own a fragrance and Aaron approves, it makes the scent better :)
Think it's safe to blind buy?
@@AJ........ I did a couple of months ago - I didn't regret it
@@AJ........

Thank you guys, I've been wanting to try this to know if I should buy, but it gets such race reviews I think I'll just get it...
@@AJ........ It’s a safe blind buy 100% But if you’re still tight on money you could definitely buy a 3 mL decant off eBay
You had me at "Oooooo I like this"
Finger immediately on the notino purchase button
I'd suggest the gold edition instead if you want an amped up spicyness and woods instead of very sweet. Both very sweet ofc just gold has more depth!
Hahaha, I feel you, brother : )
Did exactly the same! :'D
Literally did the same just now
Another one that did just that!
Code absolu is a 10/10 from any angle. Smooth, gourmandy, woodsy, lasts forever, projects consistently.
Thinking of getting it, does it project well, is it worth it?
@@sherkhanftw7579 it's not as strong as I would have expected, the main notes I pick up are vanilla
@@Efficks Would you say that Armani Code profumo has better projection ,silliage and longevity?
@@TheTom41149 Not sure as I don't have it, absolu does smell great don't get me wrong but it doesn't last all day.
What's the projection like?
I see some people say it has no projection after the first few hours
This is a borderline designer masterpiece. It's well blended and easy to understand.
Absolu vs Profumo. Which is best if you could only have one?
@@kyle_vr Absolu, my personal opinion.
@@TheAmosuno I agree. I think more people will like Absolu as well since it’s a little more refined and not quite as loud
@@kyle_vr absolu is a 10/10 perfect fragance, profumo is a 9/10 almost perfect fragance, you will get the same amount of compliments with both, but absolu will make you feel more confident and masculine, profumo is more powdery...
@@thegoodfoke3606 Profumo is very feminine to me.

The smiles and upward eyes before review's initiation clearly shows how excited Aaron was by the scent. Body language speaks louder than words.
A designer fragrance getting a 10/10! Needless to say I immediately bought a bottle! Great review Aaron 🦄

Looks like I'm buying another new fragrance.
Your soul is beautiful, your taste is sublime. Thank you Aaron to enlightening me with your precious wisdom. Love you so much

...and I believe a 10 for Pardon by Nasomatto
Glad you rate this so highly,one of the best designers out there ,Profumo is rather special too
Also the stronger with you line are worth a looki
This is not first designer he rated high.. wanted by night moschino toy boy had good rating too..
Wait until you try Code Eau de Parfum .. sooo good.
This is one everyone should own, it's such a gorgeous scent

I’m 15 and have this. It’s honestly amazing. Very good compliment getter at school aswell. Plus it’s approved by a no budget perfumer :)
Thanks for sharing!
@@AaronTerenceHughes please do review Gucci guilty absolu aswell. I have it and want you to approve that aswell. 😆
Thanks alot for this review! A very accurate translation of this scent.
I just purchased this one thanks aaron for the review 👍
Good to see I didn’t go wrong with this.
excellent video as always Aaron.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow I think this is the only designer fragrance you've given a 10, besides black orchid
It is isn’t it!!!
Spoiler. Reading comments while watching
@@johnnewlands159 Hahaha sorry bro!
This is a well blended fragrance. I love it. Looks like Aaron likes it too.
It's been discontinued, unfortunately. Armani is liquidating it's remaining stock currently. I just picked up 400ml. 200ml bottles are $88 with promo code "secretaccess".
I'm addicted to your reviews, I have to try this Armani now D:
Aaron I have a question. On the code profumo video you said you preferred code profumo massively over code absolu. But you gave profumo a 9/10 and you gave absolu a 10/10. Do you now prefer code absolu? Or would you now rate code profumo a 10/10? Love your content btw you have an amazing channel and can binge watch for days
When Aaron swoons, I purchase. (I did) Great fragrance. Thank you, Aaron.
