What a great video! I am amazed at how this perfumer's nose picks up chemicals so quickly, and can even tell which fragrances are probably going to last/project, and how much of a synthetic note is put on top of a tiny quantity of natural ingredients (if any). One of the best fragrance videos I've watched, honestly. I hope you bring him back! :)

I love that you added zaras RWA i found it in store by accident and fell in love with it. I find the projection actually lasts a good 4-6 hours on my skin and for a 20$ fragrance it is a gem. Great video!

Great teamwork! Thanks again for your great content.

Phenomenal post. Really enjoyed the dialogue and interaction from an experienced fragrance creator.

It's one thing to be a collector but it's another thing to a professional in the business breaking down fragrances. I would love to see and hear more of the industry professionals do videos like this! Thumbs up.

A lot of perfumers don't buy fragrances retail. They buy a lot of testers, decants, and pre-owned. You can get pre-owned Tom Ford on Ebay for a good deal if you look regularly. So I don't think Aaron was suggesting the retail price of Tom Ford.

Been trying a few samples of Aaron's fantastic work and yesterday tried the Jasmine Amber Rose which he said is now Goddess, after smelling that I can understand how hard this video was for him lol. Its heaven in a bottle and this guy knows how to do chocolate 😍 sayin that ill always love my super synthetic fragrances, especially the loud 90s ones 🙄🙊 lol

As I said before, I do like Aaron, totally down to earth guy, love his face when he is smelling them lol

thank u. a bit concern: ck shock was the first one, not the "last one". then further, it is important to focus on the lasting componants of a fragrance. so let the test-paper sit at least 10min. because the hour u smell it, is the hour u have to bear it. that gives a hint for how far i am convinced on the professionality here. thank u
