I really like how although your an accomplished perfumer you don’t give arrogant reviews and put others work down. I respect that.
Watch some of his earliest videos if they are still available 😆 he used to be absolutely brutal to fragrances that he didn’t like when he first started UA-cam. Love his videos
@@WifeMadeThaStew he was just honest but gave the credit if it was great
@@coleandda7475 Why would he put the work of others down? It is normal not to.
*you're
aaron has taught me that ambrettolide is probably my favorite raw material. It’s that same thing in gentle fluidity silver with the clean, cold, crisp and snappy feeling. I love it so much it definitely matches my personality. Thanks Aaron!
Patrick, gentle fluidity silver is one of my favs also. Do you have any recommendations for other fragrances with same dna
@@jpcolna YSL Y EDP has a similar juniper berry note in it so i’d check that one out
As soon as he brought up ambrettolide I instantly thought of my Gentle Fluidity Silver
@@jpcolna Roja Elysium and M.micallef GN Tonic both have a beautiful juniper note. Excellent stuff!
Bought a 100ml for my wife for her summer scent and it's stunning. It's definitely more complex than just citrus (as Fragrantica lists the notes). We went out to dinner the night it arrived and she wore it. I looked like a fool trailing behind her grinning with my nose in the air. It's certainly expensive but I do not regret it at all...and the packaging, as Aaron guessed, is what you'd expect from LV. Definitely worth checking out.
This is the one and only fragrance that was described as being citrus where i really smell citrus! I havent had anything like it i love this fragrance!! Its my perfect match and really really unique
Would love to see a review of L’Immensite from Louis Vuitton
Amazing review! This is one of the best summer fragrances ever.
i die for the mandarin note in the parfume, just love it so much! i think you should try LV Imagination too, that's a nice hot weather scent too, with ginger, tea, love that too!
Yeah imagination is amazing, better than this one imo
Afternoon Swim and Another 13 are my hot summer staples (worn individually). Afternoon Swim is the best orange/mandarin fragrance I've smelt. It makes a great gym scent. Thoroughly recommended it.
I always look to your reviews b4 I purchase a perfume I think you are well educated and know what you are talking about 😊
I love how respectful you are towards the other professionals in your field of knowledge and career. You’re a class act and awesome person. Thank you for giving us honest opinions, in a respectful manner.
Thanks Aaron.
Blud is thanking him ☠️☠️☠️
What's wrong with that betch@@HeadsMan98
What a stunning review! I am gobsmacked by your cerebral but lovely adult explanation of this fragrance! It's definitely going to be on my wish list. Many thanks!
Out of all fragrance reviewers somehow I trust his magical non biased opinions the most so analytical so passionate and artsy
Beautiful, right? Just gives me joy to have found him!
LV Afternoon Swim is one of my absolute favourites, its my signature summer scent, and I find layering it with bleu de chanel parfum makes it a little more mature while still maintaining the playfulness. I like Eros Flame as well but i think Afternoon Swim is more laid back and simple in the best way.
Wonderful review!! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Roja Burlington 1819. My favorite citrus fragrance ever
Glad that you’re doing Louis V, would love to see an angel share or Clive Christian review!
Amazing review as usual. Please review another Xerjoff line such as Renaissance, Zefiro, Nio and others.
Aaron PLEEEEASE do Imagination. I’m very interested to see how it would hold up against your nose!!
That is a fab frag but longevity & sillage simply don’t exist… that’s a fact
Thanks Aaron! Great review
Hope Imagination is the next in line ;)
I’ve heard that before. For the price you’d think it’d be better. What do you get on your skin?
Hence why I bought Perfume Parlours clone, longevity is a little better and you're paying, what, £18 a bottle for an extract % fragrance.
I wore this yesterday. I sprayed it on a 5 a.m. before going to work. Five sprays: one spray back of neck, on on left front of neck, one on right side of neck, one on each wrist. When I got home at 3:30 p.m., my wife could still smell it on me. Fact is, fragrances react and perform differently on different people.
As always, very interesting and informative like all of your reviews. I would love to hear your thoughts on Acqua di Sale and Ambra Aurea from Profumum Roma. Really delicious scents from that house and if I'm not mistaken, I think I heard they use 46%oils in all of their creations
Hope the other LVs are up next!! Love the new one
Bought a 1ml sample of Afternoon Swim many months ago and that smell has lived in my mind rent free. Fragcomm says it doesn’t perform well longevity wise so it’s not worth the high price, but I’ll be the judge of that when I buy a bigger sample. Smelled pretty amazing to me! And if I buy i bottle I’d definitely spray 7-9 times
I get very solid performance with this one but I can only speak for myself and how it works with my body chemistry. Honestly though it smells so damn good that even if it lasts 4-6 hours on your skin it's still worth the purchase imo. It is amazing. Gotten a ton of compliments with it. Very inoffensive, can wear it casually or to work or on a date. Granted I live in Florida where it's always hot but man I love this one. Plus the reduced price that LV offers to refill bottles will sort of offset the larger price that you pay initially if you refill it a couple of times.
It is very posh. I love it I have a sample of it which I will treasure.
Been waiting for this one! Thank you, Aaron!
Appreciate your information Aaron. This is what I call an artist and a Artist review. I mean there are some others who think they do reviews, but in fact they just do free marketing for the houses unfortunately.
You really take us on a journey trough your reviews, and educate us.. and there is no one who will disagree with your reviews they are all correct and complete. Btw.. this one would perfectly layer with your ozone 🔥
Aaron, could you maybe provide some details on longevity on this one? Thanks for making these top notch quality videos! Cheers!
It’s not terrible imho
I "blind" bought it, as I was looking for a citric like fragrance for the summer. Instantly became my fav fragrance in general!
Aaron giving a fragrance a 10 I never thought that was a possibility 🤣🤣🤣I must go grab this 1
It’s one of my favorite fragrances but unfortunately it doesn’t last long on me :( when I smelled it, it was almost a photo realistic pool with bergamot trees around in LA! I then checked the fragrance and the parfumer wanted to create the smell of a pool in LA! It’s amazing and I wish it lasts longer
Alexandria Fragrances has a dupe called Afternoon Splash that lasts longer :) I get a solid 6 and half hours and it has a great sillage!
Absolutely spot on you were able to smell those musks directly. They are muscenone, scentolide (captive ambrettolide)
LV Afternoon Swim has to one of the greatest summer fragrance of all time.
Totally agree. The only problem I have with it is longevity but being a citrus fragrance, that's to be expected. The alexandria version of it is crazy close and lasts forever too. It's a good one to have in between wearing of the original.
Which alexandria fragrance do you mean? The longevity is the only reason why I’m not willing to buy this fragrance and I’d like to purchase this clone. Pls help
@Mihi afternoon splash. Also the L'immensite one is crazy close too.i also have their tygar version. All three are absolutely amazing and last forever.
@@mattpruitt442 agreed
If I did not already own this fragrance, which I just recently got maybe 3 weeks ago, I would have bought it based off your review.
love, love, love the sound of this 🦄
i enjoy hearing about all the technical details you provide
I was just talking about this fragrance with a friend, when my UA-cam notification popped up…
Now we are listening to you instead ! 😁🧿
Its such a pleasant and uplifting scent
imo most citrus fragrances don't project much off most people's skin... If you try it in the winter - it's slightly better but the hot humid summers in NYC... for me the heat sucks it right up, and it becomes a skin scent quickly. Depends what your goal is.
Profumum roma citrus are beast scents, 10h
This is the one and only fragrance that was described as being citrus where i really smell citrus! I havent had anything like it i love this fragrance!! Its my perfect match and really really unique
Always loved this scent profile
As always, very interesting and informative, like all of your reviews.Thank you!
100% agree. When it’s super hot outside I’ll go and spray this in to cool my self off
I just bought this so glad it got a 10 from the master😀I own 13 ATH frags and I love the concentration and projection! They last and last and are well priced for the quality inherent in his creations.
How is the smell is it pleasing or not
I really like watching your takes on fragrances. I am curious about my go to though... Have you reviewed Calvin Klein Eternity EDT for men? I know its old school, not fancy, and cheaper than a most but it would be interesting to see your pro nose review it. It came out in 1990. Either way tho, great video as always!
Wonderful Aaron. My favorite summer fragrance.
Thank you.
Spot on as always😏✌️
Wow, 1st perfume review of aaron i saw where he rated it 10. Just means it must be that good. I never thought LV had perfumes and then this shows on my videos. Interesting
@@TuscanBrick It's really pitiful when a clone house can produce a fragrance with better longevity than the original. Not saying anything against clone houses, either, because people should have choices on how much they're willing to spend on a variety of things, but if I was a perfumer with a top tier scent being beaten out by something that costs a fraction of what my scent is selling for then I would be mortified. Would love to hear Aaron's thoughts on that one...
He’s given quite a few 10’s but his channel has been around a few years. Dior Homme Intense, Initio Side Effect, Xerjoff Alexandria II and I think Naxos, Armani Code Absolu, Black Orchid, definitely some more.
Definitely one of the best modern citrus fragrances. It’s smells natural but also it really does give you the atmosphere of taking a dive in a pool on a hot day. It’s definitely worth the hype.
People compare it to tygar by Bvgari and it is like that in the base BUT afternoon swim’s citrus/juicy aspect pops more. Whereas Tygar focuses more on the mids and base😊
It does smell like invictus or it’s me ?
Another brilliant review. Broken down so precisely 👌🦄
Is that the one I sent you years ago??!! Wonderful!
Nothing beats “imagination” by Louis Vuitton
Pacific Chill 💯
Wow, I was planning on going to the LV store and buying this today.
I need to get a sample of this!
Always great reviewing and most informative. Would love to know how to get hold of your fragrances in N Z?
I heard dis smells exactly like tyger by bvulgari!!! Wud luv to hear ur opinion on dis Aaron😀
Gorgeous, I'm gonna check this one out. Now I'm left wondering what you'd think about Colonia Pura (acqua di Parma). It's a cologne, sure, but I love it for the very hot days... light, airy and citrusy. Doesn't stay too long, but that's the whole point. One or two sprays as a refreshment, a bit of cooling down.
I love your flower tattoo on your right arm. It’s awesome and beautiful
Great and very fair review.
Inspired by your knowledge and passion! Would love to hear your expert thoughts on l’artisan parfumeur, diptique, liquides imaginaire, argos, une nuit nomade.
Aaron you make an interesting point about your tattoos. Do you have a hard time projecting because of the ink ? You’re tattooed in all the normal spray points, arms, neck, etc.
Fantastic review
This might be my favorite freshie of all time😮💨
LV Imagination next, pls
I loved this scent when i got a sample of it at LV, man what would you say is the all time best FRESH, aqua, water, clean type scent you have smelled? Any info is much appreciated as I am on the hunt for that particular type of fragrance and have not yet found it
Review Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di Calabria. The reviews are so polarizing. Supposedly it doesn't last 45 minutes. I got 8 hours of longevity, consistently. It's a glood example of people going nose blind.
I bought it and loved fisrt few weeks, now I hardly wear. Its not what I fell in love with.
no point subtracted for performance and sillage. wow
Speaking about citruses. What do you think about Fiero from Casanorati? It may be berbershoppy, but the lime and lemon notes are quite strong and vivid. I would love to see/hear opinions about it.
Enjoy your reviews! This scent profile is right up my alley (and, yes, I know it's a super non-challenging one!). I was surprised at the 10/10 rating, however, after discovering its price-point (in dollars) online. Seems super high for this type of fragrance, notwithstanding prettiness of packaging. Just sayin'!
Aaron's High-Self fully unlocked ☝
Would love to see a Chopard review!
It does smell good, but for the price point, I expect much better longevity.
I wore this yesterday. I sprayed it on a 5 a.m. before going to work. Five sprays: one spray back of neck, on on left front of neck, one on right side of neck, one on each wrist. When I got home at 3:30 p.m., my wife could still smell it on me. Fact is, fragrances react and perform differently on different people.
I would love to hear your thoughts on "Stellar times". It's very interesting to me. Don't know what it is about it, but I get a menthol cooling component. I can't figure out how to explain. I'm sure you would know exactly.
Hey Aaron, How are you? Hope all is well…. Which would prefer out of Louis Vuitton’s Afternoon Swim and Louis Vuitton Orage?
This stuff is amazing, i love it
Jacques cavallier is a genius
With scent DNA but not longevity apparently. I think he would be mortified to know clone houses are producing scents that smell so similar to this that people can't really tell the difference and the performance is better. Someone needs to ask these high level perfumers why clone houses can make virtually the same scent with better projection, better longevity, more consistent batches, etc. I'm genuinely curious to know what the responses would be lol.
@@DarlingNikki2 louis vuitton fragrances perform very well on my skin, most of cavallier’s fragrances do. I get around 6-7 hours with afternoon swim, I won’t complain about that for a freshie.
And clone houses are able to make fragrances with more projection because they stuff them full of aroma chemicals and strip out all the naturals.
@@pwj86772 I'm glad it performs well on you; I'm just going by all the complaints I'm seeing in the comment section. I also know that aromachemicals are used to cause massive projection as I am very sensitive to them, especially that hideous smelling (to me) ambroxan, amber wood, etc.
bet my cousin would like this. hes into the clean fresh citrusy scents.
How about memo Paris African rose love to see a review on it. I have a tiny sample and it’s really nice but going for 570 usd. Bummer
I would love to try this reference again. Ath review narcisco Rodriguez bleu noir line peticularly the parfum as I would like to hear your thoughts on a iris musk fragrance
Interesting point Aaron. Do you find your tattoos change how fragrances work off your skin?
Aaron any plans to sell your perfumes directly from Europe? Wanted to order Supernova. But including shipping costs and customs it’s almost 200€ for 50ml. That’s double the price people in UK pay.
Hi Aaron will you be bringing back the 30 ml bottles,
also did the prices increase because the raw materials are harder to get ?
(also notorious is one of my all time fav frags :D)
Please review Xerjoff Casamorati Mefisto❤
Subscribed! I think your viewers would love to know your background and interests (besides perfumery).
Hello Aron , if you dont mind me asking. I have noticed you have really good hair now. I am loosing my hair atm since few years and not aure what is the best way to deal with it. Steps, treatments, doctors, transplantation, daily care ?
Would you be able to help qith that? Either video or not sure blog post or via email ?
Thank you in advance
No exaggeration this fragrance lasts 30 minutes on my skin.
It’s gorgeous but is devoid of longevity.
I would like to see a review of Xerjoff Tony Ioomi 😊. Love the house but that one, hell no. I don’t get it, so many are loving it and I’m hating it 😂😂.
Wow😮 10/10 I may have to buy it.
Wow, a 10. Afternoon Swim is my second favorite LV freshie. What do you think about Imagination? 🤩
Send him a sample to review
wonderful review..also made me feel better spending the 300 plus tax lol
Hey unicorn!
Can you hold a rant about the whole edp/edt/etc issue regarding both chemical side and the marketing voodoo?
There is so much anti-knowledge out there - and the best videos on it are not nerdy enough.
I think a man of class should educate the peasants! ;)
Maybe the scent is a 10/10 but as a fragrance due to the performance there's no way it can be 10/10. I would buy it for myself if it lasted and projected well enough
I need this.
you didn't touch on the performance/longevity tho; but what i can say is that people complain how poor the performance is for this fragrance. not worth the money.
Great review Aaron. What are your thoughts on Torino21 by Xerjoff?
I just picked up 21, my brother kept telling me. Especially, it's one of my favorite houses. Love at first smell, picked up MFK Aqua Media. Love that one too, just wish it projected just a tad bit more. Still very nice
The problem with Louis Vuitton is performance is not up to $300 a bottle
Roger & Gallet's Bois D Orange smells exactly the same. I mean exactly. And it's so cheap. Thank me later people. Nice one Aaron.
Spot on Aaron-an outstanding scent, but the price is a killer. I found a lovely alternative by Alexandria called Afternoon Splash at almost 1/6th the price. I’d be curious to know what you think once you try it.
It’s whipping through the base
Can you review Gisada Ambassador, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it ? :)
Would layering ambroxan or carbon underneath this help with longevity? If it already has iso e super that probably won’t help much no?
Do you think this is better than creed aventus?
