"Fragrance industry needs shaking up." That's the best line here.
Absolutely!😊
We need to see his own favorites soon!
I always appreciate aarons unfiltered honesty, he's a breath of fresh air 🙏 Glad you had him back , it's always interesting when you both collaborate 👏
Thanks Robert. I really enjoy making these with Aaron.
More like a breath of city air. Truly unfiltered
Aaron is quality . His unicorn brain fascinates me. Glad he liked the Alexandria 😉😂
Aaron's awesome!
@@FRAGMENTAL Yeah , I've been watching his channel as well. Great content . 👍
@Scott Geoffrey Yeah, he preferred Dua over Alexandria. I do too. I've sampled the same dupes from both companies side by side, and in my opinion Dua edges Alexandria out.
J. J. whats his channel?
@@ppoitment884 Look up Aaron Terence Hughes... you'll see his channel.
I’d love to see his opinions on office and date for men
I have a feeling he would say it blended well but boring.
yes please
Yes that would be very interresting 😉
DO IT!!
Honestly, what I would do is I would have Aaron do a smell and rate of UA-camrs' fragrances overall. Mr. Smelly (Dan) has Gravitas, Steven has his line of fragrances from Navitus, and Jeremy has his frags. Maybe find two more UA-camrs who have fragrances and have Aaron do just what he did here: a smell and rate of five fragrances.
Maybe for Steven get a sampler pack and Chris can choose one of the most popular frags or one that speaks to him the most. For Jeremy, to make this fair, probably do "Date for Men" instead of Office since Office already has that Aventus / Sauvage mass appealing DNA that Aaron smelled in the Emperor Extrait. But overall, I think that would be a better video than just doing one or two of just Jeremy's fragrances.
So glad UA-cam recommended these vids. He’s brilliant!
I really enjoy the videos with Aaron, he is brutally honest and breaks down a fragrance like no other. I'd like his opinions on your most expensive frags. Thanks Chris!!
Where has ATH been my whole perfumed life?!❤️ Having him on with Chris is always an informative, enjoyable journey because I learn so much from both of them.
Great to hear👍🏻
Check out his channel...you won't be disappointed. 🦄
Great idea for a vid! And I appreciate Aaron's brutal honesty as always!
These are some of my favorite videos to watch! I find it fascinating to get the perspective of someone on the inside of the industry. His expertise adds a whole new dimension to the reviews.
This series of videos you have with this perfumer is hands down my favorite reviews of not just your channel, but of all the reviewer’s channels. His honest unbiased take, strictly from a chemist point of view is so unique and uncommon in this UA-cam community. I hope he becomes a permanent fixture on fragmental. Excellent video. Thank you for creating content such as this for everyone to watch, enjoy, and share.
You're welcome. I enjoy having Aaron as a guest.
Love when this dudes on w ya. He can be bit harsh and sometimes breaks my heart with his opinions of my favs, but hes brutally Honest. I respect this.
Chris I love the poker face🙄
Haha yes🤣
@@FRAGMENTAL bring Aaron back.. love his honesty and his apinion🤔🤗🤗
Chris I love your videos with ATH, he is really amazing and honest. Very smart, I love the way he breaks down a scent without knowing anything about it, without any bias, just sensing what his nose is telling him about the chemical components. He is a genius, I always say that. Love it.
Appriciate Aaron's input and honesty. It's so refreshing. I've said it before, absolutely amazes me how he works. Fantastic interview/ review!
Thanks Chris 👍🏻
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE did I say LOVE enough...just have to say I LOVE when you have Aaron on your channel. His expertise and reactions are pure TRUTH and HONESTY ❤️🙌🏼❤️
Your videos with Aaron are so awesome to watch. Hope you´ll do many more, love you guys!
We really need more of Aaron on your channel. He is amazing.
I'm glad I stopped by. I love him and his honesty! He is brilliant!
Aaron brings a new edge to the industry. His knowledge and talent is amazing. I can't wait until his own line is readily available in the U.S. I believe he is developing a massive following.
Aaron & FM is just pure gold 👌 When Aaron describes fragrances it seems like notes just stand in line for him to smell them :D
i didn't move a muscle watching this video. Great great video, great reviewer. Been watching fragrance videos on youtube for about 5 yrs, this is one of the best I've seen. Subbed!! Hope to see more of Aaron....thanks Chris!
Welcome! Plenty more of Aaron to come!
Thank you for turning us on to Aaron. He does a fantastic job at explaining the scents in a different way.
Great vid Chris! I really like these vids u do with Aaron he has such a unique perspective as both a perfumer but also with his chemistry background so he picks out specific aromachems which is interesting and educational and i love that. Keep up the great work! Hope u had a great Christmas and wishing u a Happy New Year!
- Colin
Christmas was awesome! Thanks Colin👍🏻
I love ATH’s takes! Always so honest and fun!
Thanks for doing these videos with Aaron. Absolutely fascinating guy, and watching him break down a fragrance is both fun and illuminating. I love that he's able to be so objective, sometimes saying that something's very well crafted, but he wouldn't wear it. That's hard to pull off. I've mentioned this already on Aaron's own YT channel, but watching his videos has really made me reassess my own attitude to fragrance and what I want from it. He's totally persuaded me: why be boring? Why wear something safe and ubiquitous. I love his, "it makes me feel disappointed......" Keep up the good work, guys!
Thanks Paul. Many people are enjoying Aaron's mindset.
Keep these coming, Aaron is great! I'd love to see him have a go at the entire Navitus line.
I just love these videos! Such a fresh concept! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers 😊
Thanks so much Allison🙏
Interesting perspective Aaron has, watching his eyes and nose work gives us a glimpse into his mind. I also like and agree with his ethics on cloning perfumes.
Thanks for sharing, Chris.
Thanks for watching Eugen. It's fascinating watching Aaron at work. I can tell right away whether it's something he likes or not. I should do a Guerlain theme!
Guerlain would be a great theme, knowing his appreciation for vanilla and benzoin it would be a good match. Cheers.
I also like when Aaron is rubbing his fingers when he is smelling and analyze a frag.
alrite alrite settle down, settle down. You gonna review some ATH frags, Eugene?
Did he do one on them yet? @@usmellsgood
I'm only 5 seconds into the video, I'm already commenting because I love Aarons reviews so much! So excited to watch this haha
Great job guys love the honesty and the break down by Aaron was informative...Thank you
This man is really amazing, to the point that he somehow changes his point of view of a same fragrance in seconds, between smellings. His brain cannot cheat him, and it is right, because of the fragrance's development. My suggestion to future videos is that you have already test strips with the dry drown for each fragrance. This way he can compare them with the opening and describe it's development. Would be very interesting.
Great video!
You both are well blended and not boring. Great video again! Mr Frag.
Thank you 🙏
You work well together, Aaron is honest, love his fluffy descriptions. Alexandria are a favourite clone house of mine.😊
Aaron is so easy to work with
I love listening to enthusiasts and professionals speak about the thing they love. Great video.
Some of my favorite content on this channel! Great stuff!!
Great video again Chris and great to see Aaron rating clones, I know Aaron’s feelings on clones so wasn’t surprised with his reaction when asked about clones, but at least he was honest and didn’t try to ‘smile for the camera’ which is who Aaron is to be fair, it was interesting with the Alexandria fragrance as I keep meaning to try them but haven’t yet, keep up the good work and keep Aaron coming, it’s fascinating watching him beak down fragrance 👍
Thanks Kevin. We always get total honesty from Aaron regardless of the camera being there.
Genius take on perfumery, it is a master class in depth information and knowledge, great work, keep them coming in 👏
Great having him on as always! Good stuff!!
I enjoy Aaron so much and completely agree with his ethics on clones. Thank you, Chris!
You're welcome Tina
love his honest opinion, i will discover your house soon Aaron 🙏, thanks a lot for this video
Its pleasure to watch this collaboration of both of u. Get him on designer frags from now on, n lets see his perspective on what majority of ppl r wearing from all designer houses
Aaron is such a sweet person! Looking forward to watching the rest of the video
Great video!! O also love the background music - perfect selection!!!
Aaron is a great guest with great knowledge and would love to see him rate designer fragrances. Including office and date for men.
Super interesting video, u guys make a great team!! Aaron s opinion of the different fragrance including the original is very interesting!!
ATH is a gem. Love this video. Love his channel. Love his unfiltered and candid opinions.
I'm loving these videos you're doing with Aaron!!!!
Great to hear his opinions on these frags, thanks and bring Aaron back again !
He'll be back!
Thanks Chris for introducing us to ATH. Really enjoying these collab videos.
I'm glad I could introduce him
thank you so much for posting Aaron's Channel and his own brand information and links. I have been looking forward to checking this out. Perhaps you could have him review some of his old favs that are still for sale mass market or niche. I'm pretty sure in the first video he suggested Black orchid by Tom Ford and I would have never thought to even smell that on my own but now I've been rocking it all winter.
Great chemistry between the two of you. Aaron’s analysis is always analytical, instinctual and brutally honest. Hopefully Chris you can give your opinion on Aarons new creations soon.
Absolutely!
It’s a real boon for us to hear what a pro perfumer thinks on your offerings. Keep him onside man. Best wishes for 2020!
I really want to do the same: sit Aaron down next to me and let him smell and deconstruct my favourite fragrances.
Love this! More videos with Aaron please! ❤️
Aaron is great. These are truly refreshing vids.
So this is what I notice with people like Aron/JP they are honest and they are genuinely interested in what they do... So things he is saying are consistent and pure. Love this man. Also the host is very good like fill the gaps and together make a perfect of something.
Love these vids, keep bringing Aaron back
LOVE THESE. APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY AARON! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FRAGMENTAL!!!
🙏
Love his reactions, want more Perfumer Rates videos !!
I love how you do listen to us... Thanks man!
Yet another awesome video. Here's another idea for you guys. Aaron's Top 10 (or 15 or 20) from your personal collection that he could wear himself. And why he has chosen them.
Love clones, and have many OGs. Dua and Alexandria are great at making untouchable fragrances available to those that don’t have $500 to spend. Also, they make inspirations of OGs that are no longer in circulation. There is definitely a place for these companies.
Yes many would agree that clones have their place.
Best Fragrance Youtunber and nicest Perfumer in one Video! Love it! Thx 4 Entertaining again!
Just came across your channel love it. Keep up the hard work
Make this an entire series please haha love this videos! Greeri from Chile! Love your channel
Working on it👍🏻
I agree we need a series
@@naturebkoy60 It is a series! This is episode three 😉
Que bien.
Pensaba que era el unico chileno viendo estas series
I'm addicted to ATH. Everything about him draws you in, and leaves you begging for more. Can't get enough of him. Thanks for introducing me to him via your channel. Much love. 🖤
Ditto.
@@chrisfairbarn9908 🖤
Watching Aaron is like watching a PhD scholar give a lecture to the primary school teachers (regular reviewers) thanks for getting him onto the channel. Great stuff
Lol🤣
Have you checked out his own channel?
@@chrisfairbarn9908 I just subscribed to it, as a new year resolution I am trying to watch less of reviews cause the more I watch the more I end up buying only to feel that probably a better on is out there :P
Bring Aaron back, it is fantastic to get his unbiased view, maybe throw in one of his fragrances with the others and see his reaction
He's baaack! Thank you so much. There is not a better start to my afternoon than Aaron Terence Hughes. Heck, There is no better start to a new week.
Love how much you love him!
I know, Sorry for making your fingers work so hard with all my comments. I saw Aaron and I couldn't stop.
I also like how he has not sniffed a lot of perfumes from popular houses. It makes him more focused and interesting.
So relieved Aaron liked the Dua! I have quite a few of them and I find them amazing! Love Aaron btw and have been watching lots of his videos lately.
Great to see ATH back. Been catching up on his chanel over Christmas, he has been very busy with his reviews.
Defo get him back. Maybe he could review UA-camrs own brand fragrances, that would be a very good watch
That could be fun!
These videos are very interesting to watch, especially with a very unique guy like Aaron. But they also confirm the fact that people's noses are highly subjective and you can't love what they love and vice versa, even when they're loved by professional perfumers. After all, we can't change our senses and tastes overnight because we were born with them.
Aaaaaaaaand this is why I love DUA and Alexandria so much. Sam and Hany really do their homework on fragrances. I'm glad that Aaron did this and he can REALLY pick out so much. That Tom Ford comparison that he made when he smelled the genuine Tuscan Leather BLEW ME AWAY. Like, "How did he know it was a Tom Ford?!" I guess Tom has a specific chemical structure that a perfumer can smell from a mile away, same with Dior or Chanel fragrances. That is very interesting that fragrances have a type of structure but just switch out notes to balance the structure. Very interesting. Another great video, Chris and Aaron! :)
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Chris! Big fan, love your videos and love Aaron 👍😀 the fact that you're both from Manchester too, love it!
✊🏻🐝
Thank you Aaron for your honest review. We appreciate your genuine opinion, including the lack of real fruits use in fragrances and boring repetitive chemicals extensively produced only for profit
I've read a bunch of these comments and I agree with most... He's needed to make us a bit wiser... Give him some encre noir sport Bentley intense etc. To see what he thinks!
I do find Aaron’s fragrance reviews absolutely fantastic!!! Really informative and due to his reviews it’s saved me from blind buys which I would have regret!
Give this man CDNIM! And montale chocolate greedy could be fun too
I'd love to see him compare vintage with current scents. Especially legendary houses like Guerlain. It would be interesting for someone with his nose and training to tell us exactly how they have changed and whether the hype around vintage fragrances is justified.
I'd really like to see him rate some heavy hitter niche fragrances....something more his style dark, balsamic, dirty maybe some ouds id be really interested to see what he thinks
Really enjoying these collabs!
Thank you for an interesting video FM.
I follow Aarons channel, I enjoy his verve when he describes the fragrances and I think as a chemist he knows what he is talking about, and I understand what he was saying re the copies similar to watches copies vs homage such as Pagani Design with the speedmaster. I am glad I came across your channel as it opens up many options to other cheaper versions of expensive fragrances especially regarding the Alexandria range. All in all a good video, also have made a note of Mental1 for my 10% off my next purchase from Alexandria.
Aaron is a breath of fresh air and a great guest, love his creations and his commentary on the industry👍👏
The way he talks about what he likes in his fragrances is why I'm really curious how he blends his own brand and how they smell but again can't get any of his perfumes cuz i live in the state's
Great guy, Aaron. Keep up the good work 👌🏻👌🏻
I like how Aaron talked about blending aroma chems with naturals. Le Labo and Roja Dove do it very well.
I recently purchased Enigma, there are a lot of chems, but the congac, musc as Aaron said, tobacco are greatly blended together.
Just watched this and would love to see his take on a few niche4all scents.Ive just ordered 6 bottles on the back of your top 5 niche4all scents Chris.Also would love Aaron's take on Dua fragrances,and yours for that matter.
Love these videos, keep the Perfumer videos coming
Thanks Chris and Aaron for an interesting review.
I noticed clones can be very good or better than original. Like Hafez 1984 is almost better scent than Mancera Red Tobacco, although Red tobacco is richer, better quality.
But sometimes knowing a cheaper clone of something you love, can spoil your experience of the one you love.
Like I wish I never smelled Cool Water, because it cheapens my experience of Green Irish Tweed.
Great video. I play with scents at home, and wonder about the same kinds of things (home tinctures and blends with synthetics as being fun and unique). Interesting to hear from someone who actually does this! New sub.
No way I was re watching aaron and yours 'rate cheapies' video, finished watching and refreshed the feed. And here is your new video. 🤔😍
Lucky you!
@@FRAGMENTAL haha yea lucky me because you create top quality content mate 😁 Thank you 👍🏼
I've never smelt Aventus this guy gets my respect!!!
It's like saying you have never tasted Coke 😂
@Scott Geoffrey it's Xmas let's keep snow the only white stuff
He probably doesn't want to be influenced by the current market. As he said in the first vid on Fragmental's channel, he didn't buy any other perfumers creation in a decade or so.
Pls more videos with Aaron. Its awesome to hear opinion from an expert. Maybe his favourite picks in next video ?
I love this! Please do another one with him, but focused on some of the citrus and more fresh ones. I’d be very curious to know if he thinks clone house citruses can pass as expensive and mixed of naturals and synthetics... or if they for the most part smell cheap and 100% artificial.
Love these collabs 👌🏻.
Me too Keith!
Did he already mention that he loves benzoin and vanilla in a fragrance?
Love the vid btw! ❤️
YAY! More Aaron! Thanks Chris! :)
Love the vids with Aaron! Would be interested on his view of the new Navitus line.
Great to see him on the channel , good combination as always, i follow his channel, even managed to try his Blood Orange fragrance just before xmas, rest sold out before i could get them, going to get the tabacoo oud & vanilla and Santal Extreme when the shop reopens, he even gave me 10ml of his new fragrance for free with my order, really generous but i wont say name of it but sex sells lol
