Its quite difficult as I only know that when I smell the type of musks, fixatives, essential oils and aroma chemicals. The % of perfume to alcohol and most importantly if its bass heavy or top note heavy. There is so many points that go through my head that I am doing my best trying to work that out as I go on. For me its not just reading off marketing and telling you. Im trying to think deeply about quite a complex thing and convey it in an easy to understand way for my viewers. I dare say that in 1 year you will know from the amount of reviews im going to put out there.

@@AaronTerenceHughes Hi Aaron, im wondering what are the reasons why darker skin absorbs fragrances more? I heard that drier skin does, so heavier fragrances are recommended for a drier skin; is there any connection between darkness and dryness of the skin? Or does it have to do anything with how perfume reacts with melanin perhaps?

Aaron I gotta tell you, the way you articulate how a fragrance smells in such a professional way and the passion you can tell you have for this beautiful art form is truly amazing to watch. Your brutal honesty and articulation is what sets you apart. It truly is a treat to have a great perfumer review some of our favorites! Keep it up!

Great review as always, I absolutely love this one. The Black Orient flanker is my favourite and I think you'd like it more too, it's much darker and richer. It's gorgeous. Thanks for a great video

Your also love boss bastard to. People who have bought it totally get the name and think it fits a boss bastard sitting in a leather chair smoking a sweet tobacco cigar. Whilst sticking two fingers up to the world. Thats what I had in my head when I created Boss bastard

My take....It's a synthetic Tobacco + Black Pepper scent that has an unexpected 'freshness' on the top. It takes a while for the deeper, woodier aspects to develop. It's a very nice fragrance. I own it and love it in Fall, Winter, early-Spring when there is coolness in the air. It's priced for what it is. It's not niche and smells like a designer doing its best to produce a bang-for-buck cool weather tobacco-based scent. I like this better than, say, Spicebomb (and Spicebomb costs more). The 'fresh' vibe on the top really makes this original and not as jaded and overdone ('boring' as Aaron likes to put it) as other fragrances in the genre (designer tobacco/spicy). For gentleman of a certain age, Bvlgari has provided products for us in a shaving soap, balm and bath products. I often pair this scent with Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Sangre de Drago" to augment this with woods and resins, and when I do this it gets compliments. I think Bvlgari 'could' have had a giant success on its hands had it added some darker wood notes and some natural resins. The synthetic Oud and authentic natural Dragon's Blood resin in Sangre de Drago just takes Bvlgari Man in Black to a better place. I don't normally ever layer fragrances, but this combo is to die for.

I always love the dance of the hands as the fragrance starts to unfold itself. It looks like a detective unraveling a mystery...

I appreciate your professional dissection of this fragrance and feel as if you have given it a high mark of 7 out of 10. I have been considering a bottle for quite some time and trust that something about it has impressed upon you to give it a passing grade. Recently I viewed your video on TF Ombre Leather and was pleasantly surprised because even though I thought it was really good I feared that due to your background and knowledge of perfumery ; something dreadful and unseen could be brought into the light confirming my own novice in general - however that was not the case , you gave that one high remarks as well. Thank You for being here I have enjoyed many of your reviews and one day soon look forward to sampling some of your personal line of fragrances trusting to be further inspired by your many talents.

Would love for you to review, Bulgari Black, but I think it may of been discontinued, it is one of my most favorite fragrances, in my top ten, at least. Think it may have the same type of rubber accord you mention in this review. To me, at least, it is not one of the run of the mill fragrance that designer houses put out. I think you would find it very interesting and in turn I would be very interested in your thoughts. Love your channel Arron.

Yeah I go very bronze coloured in the summer and this one not surprisingly doesn't last at all. Get about 2 hours of wear where I can notice it

Good video I thought I was already subscribed 👍🏼👊🏼

I thought it was a bit fleeting as well. I have to spray my shirt and skin heavily and you still have to get close to the shirt to smell it after an hour. Too bad it gets eaten up so easily.

Just got a bottle and your thoughts match exactly how I feel about this. I was expecting a much darker and spicy fragrance, but ended up with a nice clean, fresh, light and airy frag that in alot of ways reminds me of versace dreamer. This fragrance is the darker side of Dreamer where the floral notes are turned down a bit and a nice sweetness comes through along with some vanilla, leather, tobacco, and booze. My skin is much more pale and I agree that I can pull this off well and wear this all day everyday. Not what I expected, but extremely happy with my purchase.

@Aaron Terence Hughes how do you know if a fragrance will be good/better suited to darker skin colour?

I like this fragrance, like you said its just ok, it's no TF noir Extreme or anything like that my favourite designer fragrance. Love it.

Hey thats interesting about skin types and the scent. Can you do a video on the best masculine scents for darker skins that radiate and have good longevity like you said? Thanks!

I love this scent

Those hand gestures while explaining the notes is crazy.

I really love this frag. But yes I have a skin also darker and more oily and this just disappears on me very quickly.

after watching your video I realized that my skin is maybe similar to your skin, I love this fragrance tbh but in my skin it's just kinda dissapear in less than 1 hour. Darker fragrance like amouage memoir sits wonderfully in my skin and it project like a beast, such a shame really because I love the dna so much, I think I'm gonna cry in the corner rn 😭

Nice. I enjoy this one, I wouldn’t consider this a beast, in fact I find this is balanced quite well and very easy to wear. Ironically, I find it very similar if not compared to two others you have reviewed recently, Spicebomb and PDM Herod.

In my opinion fragrances like "comes de garçons - Floriental" (fall and winter) are perfect for darker skin.

any commentary about the spicy aspect?

Could you recommend any other boozy/tobacco/leather alternative in it's price range? As always, loving your reviews!

When you say dark skin type do you mean color or smell?

What can this be compared to?

Nopyl aldehyde or nonisyl formate is probably what your thinking of. Both are woodsy aroma chemicals

I had this, and still love the smell from the bottle. A lot of positive vibes. I couldn't wear this though. My skin seems to amplify and stick to everything that is sweet. So when I wore this I would end up smelling almost like old and more heavy fruit. Lovely fragrance, but not for me.

The problem is with 2ml sizes is that the legal packaging costs £20000 for all of mine. The minimum order is 5-10K. I just dont have the funds for that. I do offer 10ml sizes to trey and help people with smaller budgets.

Spot on as always. The black orient version of this is also pretty decent and works slightly better on darker skins than this one. This seems like a woodier more formal take on the original Spicebomb.
