I called the Perfumer Police in (Aaron) to put his expert nose on some of the best fragrances of the year. This video was filmed in August so any releases since then are not in the video. Let me know in the comments if you'd like a Part 2.

“ it smells like carrot” 😂😂😂😂 i absolutely love aaron, he is hilarously savage sometimes, always honest and raw opinions🔥
I like Aaron honest about everything that’s a awesome collab for sure do more for the Fans thank u guys !!! 🥂
I always enjoy videos with Aaron! Thanks for the great content!!
Love these videos! Thanks for getting Aaron to rate Roja frags especially. Always interested in his thoughts on them
The way he says “oh dear” when he revealed spice bomb infrared 😂😂❤
Chris I have known of you since your Perfume Parlour days. I have to say that I like you. One of the reasons I like you is that you are very good with people. You have the ability to make a variety of personalities feel comfortable. You show everyone respect. I really appreciate that about you. God bless you.

You and Aaron collabs are my favorite!
Awesome video. I have a bottle of Le Male Elixir showing up tomorrow, and I'm super stoked. I remember gasping with pleasure the first time I smelled the opening at a department store.
We need more of this duo!!
Great video! Enjoyed Aaron's breakdown on each fragrance. Very interesting ~
love the collabs with Aaron
Great video as always!
Le male elixir is a nice reach for me in the weather we are having in the UK right now. V&F Spicebomb Infrared EDP is interesting, I've tried the original and the extreme not really my thing. I'll look for this when I'm next in town thanks guys! Great collab as well!
Looking forward to part two.
I only watch this type of content for entertainment and not as a guide because everyone has very different taste buds for perfumery as for everything else, while Aaron is a great perfumer, I’ve heard, he mentioned he hates green perfumery but that’s one of my favorite categories, in the spring time I only wear greens and sometimes also in the summer if it’s not too hot, meanwhile I’m not a big fan of the blue ones.
I love these videos so much. And I think it's cool that you guys have such a different takes and noses for fragrance, but still come together for these clashes of titans 🙂 Love your work! Have a great weekend!
Always love the videos with Aaron! Such a master perfumer and very kind to share his knowledge and opinions so often and freely. Can't wait to see how his fragrances evolve over the years to come
Thanks Chris & Aaron, I agree about Habit Rouge, bought it and sold it, tough wear. But I love TF Grey Vetiver Parfume but prefer the original. Le Mal is great IMO. I gotta tell Aaron I wore his original Tabac yesterday and it is by far my favorite of tobacco fragrances very dark & dirty and ashy as well anamlic stuff a 10 out of 10 for me so glad I scored a 50ML bottle for around $150.00 at Maxaroma before the price increase!! Cheers Mate😎
Would have loved to have seen Aaron’s reaction to Hugo Boss Elixir. I’m in love with that fragrance.

I love your channel. Which is your absolute favorite top 5 fragrances of all time, and your top 5 synthetic and natural ingredients?
I bloody love Aaron. A man who knows how ingredients
Love Aaron's nose and brain for fragrances.
Aaron is one honest bredda which is why i like his channel...never change Aaron

Roja is absolutely french inspired. He used to work for guerlain
I would LOVE to see ATH do a blind test between OG stuff and cheap clones, especially all of the newer Afnan and Lataffa stuff. BdC EDP vs. CDNIM Iconic, Turathi Blue vs. Tygar, Roja Elysium vs. DUA Supernova, etc. It’d be great to see how quickly he’s able to pick which one is the OG and then what differentiates the clone from it.

He has one with Aventus vs clones. Just in case you haven't seen it already. Very interesting
This time clearly expressed differences of opinion regarding preferences. Aron approached it quite subjectively, where he made sure that the assessment was objective, and Chris immediately pointed out the differences in the sense that one category of consumers likes this and another likes something else
i feel like I can watch these two all day
Aaron has top notch styling on that beard.
Aaron’s own stuff is amazing. I bought3 small 10ml bottles of w.e I could get my hands on and all 3 are all different and amazing! Ended up buying a big bottle of Luna. Raw cherry is my 2nd fav of the 3 and then Haze Extreme which is also great 👍

Someone should do a video on the best ATH fragrances
Tom ford grey vetiver EDT which is almost impossible to find, (discontinued??) Is absolutely amazing, super clean and a great bright citrus note missing from the newer versions. Such a shame it's gone
Just a quick out of context question if anyone is willing to help, i own a 40ml bottle of ADG Profondo, and i was wondering if it's possible to refill it with the ADG Parfum 150ml bottle "replacement filler". Thanks 😄
Aaron and I are similar in favourite frag profiles; I really dislike greens and almost exclusively wear sweeter scents; JPG le male le parfum is todays smell-juice.
Very Nice Chris Aaron!!!
I have Tom Ford Grey Vetiver parfum and edt....Edt being the best but love both!
You should have included pdm Althair
I would like to see the reaction of Aaron for nishane Sultan Vetiver
Same tastes as him. But neverthelss, i can love some perfumes with Vetiver and green notes. I Love : "Le Mâle Elixir" "Spicebomb Red Infrared" "Aqua di Gio Parfum"
Rioja isola blue is my ultimate fav perfume.
Chris! when are you gonna review sadonaso??
Sweet-Green Aaron? Might want to get some inspiration from Lolita Lempicka - Green Lover, I would start right there.
I’m not sure I could ever justify buying a Roja fragrance… there are so many nice fragrances that are less than half the price… don’t need the “blue shiny cap”
When is Smoulder II coming out guys?
Aaron gives a 10 to Spicebomb Infrared EDP but I think he gave the EDT (?) a 7 in an older video and said he appreciated but it wasn't his style or something. Are they that different?
sweet green frag mugler aura already been done
time checkmarks would be very helpful
Trying my best to find Aaron's fragrances in Australia it's so hard.
Wait Aaron like Infrared EDP?!
Man i love vetiver especially creed original vetiver 😂 but it does have grandma’s house vibes
Acqua di Gio Parfum smells great, but for some reason doesn't last on my skin. :( After 2, to 2,5 hours it's almost gone, have to press my nose to my wrist to detect it. 😐
I share Arron's sentiment about Vetiver but with Iris! I just don't like it and can't get along with it. Even find accords of it where it doesn't exist and it puts me off the fragrances (Encre Indigo for example). Shame, because it means I miss out on so many fragrances.
There should be more carrot notes in scents. Fair play that ATH Hayes mass appealing notes, still not sure what he has against Vetiver, not everyone wants or needs super sweet bangers
Vertiver or vetiver?
Aaron is having Habit Rouge nightmares. 😆
This video tells me that even perfumers like designer fragrances more than niche fragrances.

Everyone says Isola Blu is mature and i love it. I guess I'm getting old!
Get him to smell Absolu Aventus
I also dislike Vetiver, it weirdly affects my breathing. Makes my chest tight, I think I have some sort of allergy to it.
LV Pacific Chill belongs here
Bring Aaron's nose to Hiram Green Hide, I want to know if he'll say burnt sausages 😂😂
"I do not like Green Frags (& Ham)" -ATH
Habit Rouge Parfum is green ?!
I Learned Something Vetiver Can Go Cigarettes Smoke , I would always wonder 👀WTF ! Who’s smoking Cigz even after I shower sometimes I’d spray Acqua Di Geo OG, and would always think How can a Freshy Water Scent have that Smoke plus other things Would give me that , 😳

Please have Aaron smell Hugo Boss bottled Elixir and Hugo Boss Bottled pacific. Hugo Boss is not getting enough love lately.
Right now i am just watching ATH BOTOX doing such great job✌️😂
Aaron has laughed at me after I said he is very inspirational being he does so well with being neurodivergent like myself. He is fun to listening to going over notes in fragrances. Don’t like him, but he’s fun to listen too in order to learn more.
Love this video but Aaron gotta get rid of that Halloween 2 Michael Myers haircut

He prob hates the 1 note. Butnof it's blended really good with other notes, he may still likenthe overal smell.of the fragrance.
Grey Vetiver Parfum = carrots and cigarettes lmaooo
Fragrances are really subjective. Even Aaron knows that which is why he mentioned him developing a green centric fragrance for those who likes it but him personally not. It's when everyone finds a fragrance everyone unanimously likes or love is when we see what a true great or masterpiece is from the so-so. True beauty is universal.
You gave aaron a dog 💩 line up. Come on FM! Pdm Althair. Aventus Absolu. TF Myrrhe Mystere. Valentino bir rockstud. Kilian Smoking Hot. Ralphs Club Elixir. Amouage Opus King Blue Gucci Guilty Elixir. Guerlain Tobacco Honey. Tauer Nexin. All of these are solid picks. You pulled out the Sephora specials ☹️

Perfumery style, not origin. It's either French or Middle Eastern. A Chypre or Fougere can still be too strong or unrefined
Aaron looks utterly uncomfortable and behaves as though he were contractually tied to the chair. And I like him! LOL
Turn on the AC, FFS
jesus , now he can tell if cheap or expensive in a sniff...........
Horrible ratings system
This guy all he says is cheap & green
Dude can u clearly stop selling us Jean Paul gaultier. This is poop
Aaron doesn’t come across as a real perfumer knowing the craft. He’s more like an average youtube reviewer
How many procedures has this guy had on his face???
