Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss my Enigma, Aaron. Glad to see you on-board with my work and to hear your honest review of it. Rx
My pleasure. I love the art of perfumery more then anything. I am blessed to of found my calling in life. I know you feel the same to. It brings me much joy to sample another artist who loves there work as much as I do. You really can tell when there is an artist rather then marketing demanding cost over art.! I hope you enjoyed the in-dept review I did of your hard work. I look forward to trying more of your work. I only do positive reviews so I will be going to try your work in Selfridges and seeing which ones I love so I can recommend them to my viewers.
We love you sir!
Classy guy
That moment when Roja Dove writes a comment to you channel. I appreciate both Aron and Roja so much, they make the perfumery world interesting.
Another one I can't wait to hear a review of is "Danger". It is masterfully blended and not too sweet. I get more of an aura than individual notes. I love that about it.
Kudos to you for acknowledging your statement of the last Roja review, mr. Hughes! Your reviews are some of my favorites. Looking forward to getting some of your fragrances (impossible to buy in South America).
Ofcause. If I’m incorrect il correct it!
I am 18 years old and this is one of my favourite fragrences. Absolutly love it. Greets from Germany.
Bravo maestro.
You should try Amouage - Jubilation 25 !!!
One of the best fragrances I've ever smelled! A true masterpiece.
Aaron your voice is so soothing and relaxing. You have a great knowledge for fragrances too. Amazon’s sir just awesome 👏
Really glad to learn more about this fragrance, was thinking about buying this and this helps a lot. But the picture shown for this video is the enigma pour homme parfum which goes for 450£ for 50ml, the price you mentioned is the parfum cologne. Love your videos, hope to see more parfums de marly in the future ❤️
I love listening to your reviews. There's so much passion and peace in your voice, I've got chills on my back
That sounds like a song!!
I appreciate the time you spent breaking this one down, there is always something I learn from each review. And now that Roja is off the "naughty list," we have to get a review of Roja's Scandal Pour Homme. I would love to learn what base materials were used in it that one.
My 48th birthday is coming up and im in a quandary between this one and Ambre Nuit, both different but i believe both appropriate for what i want to say about myself in a fragrance. Great review as always!
Which did you choose? I am in a similar situation leaning toward Ambre Nuit.
I was a bit taken aback by this 1. For some reason I don't really fall in love with any of Roja's fragrances at first sniff. However each time I come back to them they seem to just get better and better. If your going to blind buy a Roja Dove I would recommend Creation E over the more popular Elysium as the Ambergris in Elysium is quite Animalic. Creation E is a cinnamalic vanillaish malty smooth fragrance that smells akin to a Root beer floats taste. It's certainly unique as nothing in my 200 plus bottle collection smells quite like this.
This is a favorite of mine, as well. Roja creates complete atmospheres and moods. I had gone into a casino once and they had a soap/bathroom air freshener which somewhat mimicked the feeling of this. It excited me to realize just how influential Roja is, globally.
@@ManicMindTrick River Spirit Casino in Tulsa. OK
i was JUST watching reviews for this all night. I am so glad you uploaded this
My pleasure. I hope you enjoyed it,
@@AaronTerenceHughes I very much did
I have never tried this one before but its seems interesting to try it. You always able to dissect the notes as doctor in perfumery mate. I hope to see one day you get sample of guerlain vetiver extreme.
I will review this house at some point.
I'm in my late 20s and I love the parfum cologne version; it's lighter than the pafum while still being strong. I imagine the parfum might be too much for a younger person
The paper label (vintage) expression of this is amazing. Lasts, drys down, and comes back even better. Enigma is the perfect name for this masculine beast.
Amazing name for a classic fragrance. I love the English language massively .
Brilliant review as always! I'm interested to see what you think of the Parfum cologne version of Enigma!
Rob in the future mabye
This fragrance is a love of mine ❤️ and I am 26 years old.
Amazing:)
Same...26
Hi Aaron! My friend in my head. Thanks again for another fantastic review. I learn so much from your videos. Once again thanks for your candor... I appreciate it and enthusiasm. I just love it! 👍🏾😉
Should definitely do a review of Elysium!
Yes please! I've been debating on buying for about a week now. Need his opinion!
I feel if he reviewed elysium he’d say it’s excellent in quality but.. boring. As it’s mass appealing and worth it.. kinda. I love it but it’s not something I’d say is perfect ?
Rocking this today!! It’s worth every freaking penny!!
Wonderful review as always!
I want to do a video on how to look after your skin. It’s just finding the time
Important notes here are anisic anethole and ginger for coke, green cognac, animalic musks, ionones, cinnamons, vanille and unexpected amber materials.
Thank you. I love your review
Bruh you are the man. I love listening to you. Keep rising ❤️👍🏾
Say what!!! Aaron himself reviewing a Roja? Haha 2020 is a special year. Never thought to see Aaron the unicorn boss review a Roja Dove
Ofcause. I love and respect the art of perfumery.
Good to hear about the civet and castoreum. Anyone who uses the real ingredients needs to be exposed as widely as possible. Thanks for the review as always.
Very honest perfume reviewer in you tube
Very happy you updated us on the non-animal derived ingredients.
Thanks for your review on this. It 's always on my top, yes, top 1 ❤
Awesome Aaron loved that review , glad to see you on the Roja Dove Parfums reviews.
I own the parfum version, easily in my top 5 fragrance of all time. ❤
FM Chris would be great you introduce Aaron to Roja.
i love it just bought it, im only 20 ! :D
It take some personality to admit a mistake! Thats why i love your channel 🦄
Great Job Aaron. I love the Roja Parfums. The best for me is Enigma. Thanks to you.
Best to you from Berlin - Germany.
Aaron must have some knock out fragrances in his brand because this was a very very potent scent that easily lasts 12+ hours. I can also smell it from about 5 feet away so projection is not a problem on this. Overall I would say this is one of the most interesting/nicest fragrances I’ve ever smelt.
He does. Try Daddy. fantastic scent and lasts all day.
Another fantastic review. You appreciate and explain the art and science of the fragrance with passion, even if it’s not for you.🦄
You are a fucking wizard sir. You always tend to read my mind and put a video on the frag I'm interested in. Much love
I’ve picked up on that Serge Lutens as well Aaron! Rich and deep fragrance!!! My fav from Roja!
I wonder if they trained in the same place. There is a definite feel
Which Serge is it? I'm dying to know
Yes but which Serge Lutens?
Which Serge Lutens are you referring to?
I always enjoy your reviews.
Thank you
What About Longevity of Roja Enigma
So happy...so we'll see more Roja's here....thanks Aaron
Love you Aaron! You’re the man!
I understand why you get hate and praise, you're yourself. Keep going!
It's true what he said. This cologne its for someone that's in their 50's+. Reminds me of my grandma/grandpa. For me it smells feminine. I recommend buying a small sample.
Another one!!!! Big up yuhself king, love every time 🇹🇹
I think you made a mistake, it coats around 400£ for 50ml :)
Felix Wolf, yes! I think he tried the Parfum Cologne Version :) ...
@@jonasteinmeyer919 Or he gave the price for it at least lol
I've only smelled the Parfum Cologne version. I really like it. It smells a bit like Dior Ambre Nuit and TF Tobacco Vanille had a baby. The fizzy cola vibe is a unique touch. Complex but appealing and easy to wear. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for sharing!
Take Dior Ambre Nuit: Add tobacco + Cola + Gummy candy notes: Enigma
Great review! I will take it as a guide and try it when I approach 50.
Aaron this is the best review of Enigma I’ve seen.
Everyone else says this is amazing their number one frag, a mass appealing masterpiece. I smelt it and didn’t get that. They also say there is no booze in it. I get strong boozy smell. It’s described as a fizzy Coca Cola smell. I like Coca Cola this doesn’t smell like coca cola😅
Now when you said 40 up age group and you will either love it or think is okay. That is so spot on. It’s a very well blended piece of art. But the smell is not like Coca Cola it’s a very boozy scent made for a more mature man in my opinion. And you’re the first reviewer to say so.
For me it kind of smells more like Dr Pepper to me.
Love the tattoos. Body art is awesome and it looks great on you. The reviews are great. I usually buy what you like.
Great review from the best reviewer out there👍🏻always look forward to your videos Aaron, i’v yet to try Roja fragrances but It’s on my radar, currently getting right into Parfums De Marley, sensational stuff🙂take care 💜🏴
I prefer PDM. I think they are more youthful. If I didn't have my own I would buy PDM. I think PDM is better value for money.
Aaron Terence Hughes that’s great to know Aaron thanks, Iv tried Layton from PDM and love it, I kind of think tho it has a slight resemblance to Thierry Mugler’s Angel for women, almost like it could be the male version, only far superior. I’m going to try and get my nose on you’re brand. I love warm and sweet fragrances and also Aventus style. What would you recommend from your brand if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks for replying🙂
The evaluation of chosing a fragrance. As some people learn faster than others. Not to mention some don't really care all that much. I prefer not to assign a gender or an age on things.
I watch Roja Dove’s channel, as well as yourself. I find him very interesting. I really like the sandalwood based scents, woods (I love benzoin) you find in the male line. I wear Bijan, Vanderbilt, Aromatics & lots of other vintage types. X
You should try the house of Carner Barcelona. They are making some interesting and very different fragrances. El born, Cuirs, Fig man or Paolo Santo are good places to start. Thanks!
I am 16 and love the parfum cologne version, might even get a full bottle
His name is pronounced like a normal old British guy Roger the dodger, not Roja with a J. Enigma is my top 3 of all time. The vanilla dry down is one of the best I’ve smelt.
Hey Aaron. Can you review some Mancera and Montale fragrances? They are niche but all of their fragrances are made from only aroma chemicals I believe. I love Roses Vanille from the line. Thanxx
Great review, think Roja Amber Aoud would be very interesting to hear you review think it might well blow your mind, it’s an absolute favourite and absolute beast of a scent
got that coming up in the autumn
Aaron Terence Hughes awesome stuff can’t wait to see your new website and can’t wait to see the shop
Great review! I have this but curious how my EDP compares to the Parfum. I heard they're very close but I love potent fragrances. It's great to hear your take on this gem
The parfum version is deeper and richer, more long lasting however there's something weird in the opening that I don't like. The edp doesn't have that problem to my nose. The dry down of course is the best part and it is the best in the parfum version. All that being said I prefer the edp actually because for the money I want to enjoy the entire fragrance. Unfortunately with the parfum, the opening is its undoing for me. If your nose is too close to it for the first 15-20 minutes it has something really strange that I can't stand, so that is my reasoning.
@@Adrian.Manuel.Rodriguez got you. I appreciate the feedback. It's good to hear from someone who's experienced both. I'm thinking of getting the parfum cologne version as well
The perfume in the thumbnail is different than the one you reviewed in your video Aaron! The Enigma Parfum pour Homme is only available in 50 ml and is also quite a bit more expensive than £225. You're reviewing the Roja Dove Enigma Parfum Cologne, 100 ml for £225!
Very Nice Aaron...I also have this one.....I only have the new the Cologne version!
Thank you Aaron for clearing that up about Roja. While animal rights isn't foremost on my mind, out of respect for you, I wouldn't consider purchasing this brand, even as a gift. Now, got more choices for Christmas!
Naboo Licious they only use ambergris. Someone told me incorrect information
Great review! Certainly a scent that I’d like to get a decant of. By the way, how much of your chemistry education do you use everyday when you are creating new scents? Do you feel that it helps, or is perfumery ultimately comes down to art instead of science?
kurush61 I use its massively. Without it I’d be lost! It’s help me take an scientific approach to perfume design. The art brain comes up with the name, concept and feel. Then the chemist brain starts building the perfume.
The Parfum Cologne version is £225 for 100ml. The Parfum version was £375 for 50ml, but it isn't available anymore. I guess people stopped buying it because the Parfum Cologne is similar and so much cheaper.
Interloper 80 That is incorrect what has been discontinued is the EDP version (£245 for 50ml), replaced by the Parfum Cologne. The Parfum version (£375 for 50ml) will always be available.
Can you look into the use of the tropical fruit Manilkara zapota ("zapodilla") as a note in perfumery? In Colombia they call it "níspero" and you never see it in foreign markets perhaps because it's rather delicate and doesn't travel well. I'm not a parfumeur but I have a deep appreciation of the art, and I got to know this intriguing fruit growing up in South America. Hard to describe but it has a shady warmth to it, mildly sweet and smoky, suggestive of some kind of aromatic decomposition, like the undergrowth in a rain forest, which I've also noticed in certain chemical compounds, not sure if aldehydes or esters, that I smelt in high school chemistry lab. I just heard you talking about acetates; maybe it's something like that. It's truly exciting, hypnotic and fills the evening air a bit like jasmine or the pitaya flower. I've made it my small mission in perfumery to bring this note to the attention of artists such as yourself, in the hope that this noble fruit might find its way into the pantheon of world fragrances, shared as a tribute to the magical land of my childhood. Thanks for the spirited review; it helps me understand one of my favorites.
Aaron is in it for the ❤️ of perfumery creation, so it's very easy for him to critique good or bad.
The fact he can balance chemical equations, and understand one of the hardest chemistry courses (Organic Chemistry) shows his level of expertise on the subject matter.
I will be buying this without testing it out as his past reviews of Parfumes I own, he was spot on in his critique of.
I particularly enjoyed the review of Amouage Reflection Man.
I Buy it ❤️Roja enigma pour homme parfum
I just got this 1 today!!! I love it!!!!
Aaron thanks for your review. Is the composition of Enigma differ from Creation E?
Hi Aaron, Great channel and love the reviews.. I know your probably sick of requests but would love if you could do Initio Rehab... Best wishes...
Chris might be a little sad you said it's not a fragrance for the young!!! I like it but I can't afford it right now
Chris has taste that is a lot more mature. He understands his identity through perfumery. I couldn't imagine a 20-30 year old smashing this. This is more of a thoughtful persons fragrance for people who like spending money on fragrance.
My favourite fragrance ever (im 23 years old)
I think Roja uses 80-85% naturals to 15-20% aroma chemicals
Hopefully, something for everyone. I often wonder just how much though men put into what they put on their person. Head to toe. What you look like and how you smell are presented before you open your mouth.
Have this fragrance one of my favorite from.roja fills up my room when i spray it on my clothe last forever i can see how its someone older but ive smelled alot of stuff that i like different smells and im 29 someone who hasn't smelled many fragrances probably wont like this
What did Aaron compare this fragrance to? I cant understand what he said.
Aaron, can you share a link for the frag to buy? Thanks!!
I greatly appreciate your videos, can you please review Diaghilev?
Hey Aaron, i know this fragrance is marketed towards men. Ive seen some woman reviewing this one wearing it and loving it. What is your opinion, do you think woman can pull this one off? Thank you and love your reviews!!!!
I think you should break free of marketing. We like what we like. I love Black orchid which is supposed to be a woman fragrance. My Old oud sold a lot to woman and a lot of men love my violet delirium. Always go with what you love. You dont know what it is calling to you. Perfumery should be bought for you to love. From there it gives you confidence. Others tune into that.
I can't deside between this or Reckless🤔🙄
Same for me, I like it but I'll not wear it, it's just not for me.
Is Aaron reviewing Enigma Pour Homme or Roja Enigma POUR HOMME Parfum Cologne here?
There is something in this I really don't like. Gets much better as it dries down, but it's still there. Kind of a sour bitter note.
I’m curious about the sillage of enigma!!
How about it???
Santal Extreme by ATH is amazing. I have really enjoyed that one. 👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you. I worked hard at creating my Santal extreme EDP
Lovely scent but way too expensive. If the range was reduced by at least £150 on each then it would be worth it. This is not a perfumer wanting the world to enjoy their creations, its someone trying to make a huge profit by extremely good brand marketing as a luxury brand
BTW your 2 little dogs are cute, but Miss Verity is gorgeous!
Naboo Licious three dogs. Miss verity. Tweebert van whiskers and boobs!!!
I think Chergui
Only £225? More than double that where I live, a no-brainer for the people in the UK then :)
I think it is not possible to make a proper review right after spraying a fragrance on your arm. Complex fragrances need to be tried several times until your brain recognizes its complexity. In my view, Enigma perfume (which is not the one you tried) is a master piece. Please tell me you sampled Enigma a few times before this review :-). I love your reviews!
love your hair
Steal grey now! I love this
Man how much time and money have you spent experimenting with perfume oil and finding out how certain things mix? And how did you get into the craft? Always wondered this
great review 👍❤️
Than you
Hey Aaron can you review Burlington 1819 by Roja?
Aaron how do I get my hands on your creations?
Please review reckless it’s my favorite
What Serg lutens smells like this ?
I love it but I'm too young for it I think :(
$800 Australian for 50ml.
I love this fragrance but performance and longevity is very poor
This perfume is mass appealing
