My Current Favourite Perfumer - Aaron Terence Hughes Buying Guide | Cologne/Perfume Review 2022 

Thank you for reviewing my work!🦄🦄🦄🦄

That man is an absolute genius, and the 10ml option for every single one of his fragrances is a great way to test them for a long time and get a full idea of what you're getting

Onyx Extreme and Oud are my favourites. I own almost all of his fragrances. Most are in 10ml. Love that he offers that size.

That impression of Aaron😂😂😂, Great video as always

I feel like ATH is a perfume savant. He was one of the first reviewers I saw when I recently started taking an interest in fragrances, along with yourself. I just recieved a load of samples along with a purchase of Tabac and I'm working my way through them. I love oud generally and would compare Aaron's Oud to Oud Wood and Accord Oud by Byredo. I can't wait to try the rest of the samples.

I love Aaron as a perfumer and especially as a person so honest and genuine

Outstanding review! You nailed the impression and the fragrances.

What a fantastic gift....here are all of my creations in one delivery...that must have been a great day..plus the whole collection on shelves would look bad ass..I love ATH, slowly building my collection of his

I have total respect for ATH and his work, I asked him a question a few years ago and he took his valuable time to personally answer, ,,, like you touched on, he’s a man of integrity.

I really enjoying watching both yours and ATH's channel. Thank you!

Absolutely love Raw Cherry. I just can't get over the combo of chocolate, hazelnut, and tart cherry pie in the base!

Best intro ever! He's awesome and so are you!

Agreed. If you want dark, interesting but very wearable, Aaron just keeps cracking out bangers with that vibe.

I'm new to ATH fragrances and I visited the shop this week. I was blown away with the experience and the fragrances were next level. I purchased several as I could not narrow it down to two as planned!

Great choice for a video …I enjoy ATH videos and his experience in the field. Love this channel! Thank you!

Love ATH’s reviews. Cannot wait to try his stuff.

Love the review AND the tribute. Nice work. Aaron is my favorite reviewer and I enjoy each fragrance(4) I have of his.

Amazing video! Great editing and quality. Love all the reviews of the range (even though I disagree on the longevity of daddy as it lasts to infinity on me and clothes lol) Great work

I have watched a ton of Aaron's videos and cannot wait for the re-stock!!! I absolutely loved your review and format here. In terms of content creation, I think you do a wonderful and exceptional job. Thank you for your review, and I really appreciate it! :) Daniel p.s. I also loved the impersonation at the top, it made me wonder if he had stolen this intro from you for a second XD

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try out his line and have a blessed day

I have watched many of his reviews. I've checked out his creations online but have not purchased any. He is the detailed technician's perfumer, describing in great detail the chemicals used to emulate natural ingredients. In addition, I have a fondness for his video presentation style. I would love to try some of his fragrances. Thanks.

I've done a thorough side by side with blood orange, haze blue and black and can honestly say there is quite a big difference in smell for me personally, not in the opening but rather the drydown. Haze blue is bright, haze black is also extremely similar but after an hour becomes creamier whereas blue stays bright. Blood orange I really enjoy the opening but not a fan of the woddyesque drydown. Dont get me wrong it's nice but much prefer haze. Yet to try Neon but will do so asap and also I must admit it was a tough choice originally between high Voltage and the 2 haze perfumes. Really love a certain note in high Voltage , some kind of citrus that is just phenomenal, only issue is the slight sharpness I get from it that I dont get with either of the haze. Due to this I'd choose haze blue and black for summer day and nights but your right, they are strong!

I couldn't stop smiling through the intro. Didn't expect that at all, and it was a really funny homage!

I love Aaron and his approach to sharing about fragrances. I do agree, his amount of selections are a bit overwhelming .. but I think it has to do more with packaging , which creates a sense of redundancy .

Thank you for this. I just received my Sampler from Aaron with 15 or so scents. Blown away with them! I will need to get the rest. 😁

I really like your honesty with regards to your criticisms of his work. I think perhaps the volume of products he is releasing is very much an either or situation. As you say, there might be several that are similar in vibe and for some people that might be confusing and or annoying (especially with regards to availability). However, I personally think it's kinda cool. You get to sample several ones, and you can pick one that is more to your liking. And if you are the type of person who likes to switch around with your scents, then it's nice to have several to choose from. And, I feel like it's perhaps more about the artistry over the commercial gains with this approach? It feels like Aaron gets to express himself much more by not being limited by having, say 10 fragrances. So to me it is kind of similar to having a painter or musician make the work they want to rather than focusing on the money they can make. Lovely review btw, I was just trying to express my two cents on this. Have a great one!

I watch Aaron all the time and learn a lot. Last year I bought several of his scents during the Unicorn sale and regrettably I did not have a good guide to go on so I did not purchase any of the scents you mentioned, but I did end up loving Alpha Male and Notorious and even one called Odyssey( now discontinued). I do also feel like he releases a lot and then discontinues the scents. I dont mind that too much if it means that hes replacing it with something improved, but it does get tiring to see a scent you like get discontinued so often. I do feel he is a star in the making and will only get better over time. What he has not yet done is release a bona-fide classic. I mean to say that despite your love of Oud he has not released something that has people over the moon just yet. I know he will eventually because hes so talented, but for me I agree consolidating the lines will help clear out the clutter. Great video and thank you for the guide I needed.

I don’t own any ATH fragrances (someday I shall), but Aaron has the utmost integrity and I really love his fragrance reviews. 👍

I have legend and I really like it. Look forward to trying others from his line.

Great review! Thanks. In regards of Daddy, I can smell it even the Day after I did spray it on my skin. Undoubtedly on of the best fragrance in my entire collection (in my opinion)

I never miss Aaron reviews, and I bought many perfumes after listening to his reviews ... professional and entertaining

This is a great video, I've only tried 3 of his fragrances and I think each one is beautiful, it's a shame that his fragrances are underhyped, this is the only buying guide of his stuff, their is one other video ranking ATH's best masculine fragrances but not much else apart from serveral reviews on just one of his fragrances. Since he's revised & relaunched his line would you do an updated buying guide?

Great video, I have been looking into his fragrances lately. Just hard to get without crazy shipping costs to the US

hey, that's a great overview! Im thinking about testing guapo, since really like Terre d'Hermes. Besides, I'd love to hear you talk more about your favorite (ATH) fragrances individually. I know it's not really your style to make a whole video about only one fragrance (yet :P) but I thought I'd just let you know that I'd be really interested in that. I can image that other people would like that aswell, since there is a lot of good fragrance content out there for beginners (that is often a bit shallow, I'm thinking "Top 10 this and that"), but not really so many deep dives into personal expierences and associations with scents. I think listening to your personal emotions and experiences with one fragrance is great, because there's really no objective side to fragrances (other than compliment factor) and we need to look at reviews in context of ther reviewers taste and livestyle. And that way people can idenify even more with you and get to know your style and way of thinking, so that might help them to transfer the information you give them to their own lives. Plus I'd really like to have more content about the ATH line xD Think about it ;) Greetings from Germany.

Please make an updated version!!!! I love ATH

I do enjoy Aaron's reviews we seem to have similar tastes. It must have been like Christmas receiving that box of goodies..

I can honestly say that you was not influenced by aaron generous gift because your review proves it. 👏👏

Masterpiece pronounced at least 100 times in this video, this is Aarón work efect on people need to try one of these right now ✅✅✅

I like watching ATH! The way he describes fragrances is amazing and professionally done. And since he mentioned that he has a middle eastern genes, by that fragrances don’t last enough on his skin, and that’s why he makes beast mode performers to solve this issue. Thank you Dr. Omar, I’m now even more tempted to get some fragrances from Aaron!

Aaron is such a brilliant perfumer and his videos are just so realxed there so good

ATH 👌 his fragrances are stunning I own 12 now

That intro was amazing hahaha

Hi bro 👋, I follow him since the begining, and I watch each new vedio and I am supporting his work every vedio I watched,, and i belive that he will be a big Perfumer in the future,however I didn't try any from his fragrances, hope I can, but I like him so much 💗

Very interesting review and I'm sold I'm in South Africa and I'll make an order online 👌🏾

Great review. Could I ask please …im looking forward to trying more of ATH fragrances. Are neon and blood orange similar in any way? Or both sample/bottle worthy. Thanks

Ozone, Deviant, Boss Bastard & Animalix are what I have. Unending performance and compliments. Hard to pick but DEVIANT is something I would buy time and time again. Massive love of all people I’ve ever been around.

Omar mate the opening killed me😂😂😂

I would blind buy from Aarons reviews. If you wanted to have an in depth unbiased view of a fragrance then Aaron is the person to go to.

Nice one Omar....first making buying guide of Aaron... I wish they were cheaper....will try one day...

I absolutely love Neon. I’d describe it as a sweeter take on the Aventus DNA that is aimed at a younger market. It’s fantastic. Daddy is also a beautiful fragrance. Creamy, vanilla Oud. I agree the performance isn’t the best though.

Raw Cherry is an absolute slapper; Aaron really knows his stuff, and makes great content. Great video!

Aaron is awesome!

Purchased some ATH samples. I’ll be picking up a full size bottle (or two). They’re very nice!

I watch him as well. Guys knows his stuff

I have blood orange, onyx and alpha man. Top of my list to add was daddy, until I revisited Notorious. Magic, I have to own it along with Oud

Haha, I love that you followed his whole intro exactly! 🤣👍 Love your videos.

Maverick is a masterpiece. Even more remarkable given the price point.

I love Aaron Terrance!! I just wish the fragrances were a bit more affordable so I could support him with purchasing a couple few. But I’m very happy for Aaron he deserves it!

just what i needed

I have some of his perfumes. Great smelling and long lasting.

Fantastic videos sir. Thanks for your work.

I'll share the video to the FB group

Aaron's opinion is one I really trust. I have found that he's tastes in fragrances are very much aligned with my own. So when he recommends something I usually bump it right up on my shortlist.

Your buying guide made me want to order a bunch of ATH Fine Fragrances. Every single item on the site is sold out!

Aaron's Oud is sublime

Sotd - ATH Legend. When it comes to "blue scents", ATH - Legend and Bleu de Chanel EdP are my two favorites.

I like how you mentioned the fact that he could pretty much trim the fat, Ive smelled like all of them too and most are actually good, but like 30% of them share similar vibes with another too much to the point where I think he could eliminate a few. Example: Haze blue vs Neon.

Great video! I love ATH work. My personal favorites are “Oud” and “Boss Bitch” but he definitely has a lot more winners to choose from!

I am a fragrance collector and ATH is my favorite house. I very much disagree with the thought of consolidating because of similarities. I personally feel they are not so similar that it doesn't make sense to own both. For example I have both Haze Black and Haze Blue there are similarities or could be used for the same situation but both a great and different enough I enjoy both. I am in fragrance groups with 10's of thousands of people most love his fragrances some of the consistently favorites are Daddy, Ozone, Onyx, and the Hazes. The only real complaints are availability in the US and the atomizers. My personal favorites are Daddy, Notorious, the Haze's, and Ozone. I very much want to get Guapo and Legend.

I've just received hard candy elixir and oud 10ml samples wow are they fantastic will be buying more samples then buy the full bottles. Fantastic value in my opinion far better than creed.

Yeah Aaron is super experienced in the space

I love Boss Bastard, Maverick, & Adonis. If I had more money I'd get Daddy, Onyx & Haze Black

Excellent fragrances ❤

ATH fragrances are some of the best I have ever experienced. Exceptional quality and the longevity is better than any other fragrances I have.

For me, legend is an amazing signature everyday scent. Guapo is nice but more office safe not as sexy as I thought it would be. Maverick smells slightly like 1 million nice not my favourite. Haze blue has the best opening ever can't wait try blood orange.

I LOVE him. I think he lives in Mexico now, and my mom lives in CDMX so I need to know if he sells there!

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, IF POSSIBLE CAN YOU MAKE AN UPDATED ATH VIDEO I SEEN SOME NEW DROPS....

Awesome 👏

So which one is the best one?

Have been following ATH lately looking towards getting haves blues

All the fragrance I have from ATH got compliments and very enjoyable, especially for the wearer cause it does evolve.

I have purchased many from him and always been quick shipping and delivery. I do like most of his fragragrances, but a few I feel does not work on me at all. It is very hit an miss and looking forward to him doing smaller bottles/testers. I do like Supersonic fragrance and body fixitive and the Red Fever Body Butter., both work very well together. I do hope he will do a 5ml,10ml and the the full bottle size. If they were refillible that would be perfect. These are just my views.

I love Tabac and Onyx just wish shipping to Australia was possible. Maxaroma chargers way to much for shipping.

the shipping is a bit crazy for me in the US but I will eventually get quite a few of these

ok,i know for sure which one i will not buy-Neon.I think oud would be the one for me.Blindly.Thanks for buying guide.

I recently revisited Ozone and Boss Bastard. I bought a 10ml of each a few years ago. Both have this similar synthetic mess as a base, both smelled almost the same except Boss Bastard had a hint of tobacco and Ozone had a hint of lime and coconut. The synthetics were all I could smell after a while, seriously headache inducing. I like his videos and descriptions, but if the rest of his stuff has similar synthetics, then I don't think I'll like them.

guapo to me is his best summer perfume, i live in italy so pretty hot here

I wish the bottles weren’t so ugly. But your review is spot on!

The man is a genius Rose is by far his best creation , but its discontinued ,if you ring his workshop in manchester he said he would make some more even one bottle (this was over 20 months ago before he has grown his company) ,,, Its an absolute winner I have nearly 70 fragrances this is the one that by far people ask what it is Im wearing .. ATH Rose try and find it you will not regret it

I honestly cannot wait until I get Guapo

Aaron is just putting out fragrances after fragrances, he’s passionate for this and it’s very good quality of perfumery. I do own a few of his fragrances 🦄 next one on my list is raw cherry

Cant wait for my bottle of your frag. Will ath be your perfumer?

RIP to Ideal EDP 😭 I found 1 bottle after days of looking and it’s my favorite fragrance

I’m still trying to sample some of his lineup but I have a lot of difficulty finding his fragrances in stock and samples are very expensive.

Really interesting video here although my favourites are vastly different . . . of the 15 I have now tried, Supernova, Homme, Tabac, Oud, Daddy, Luna, Onyx Extreme, Hard Candy, Hard Candy Elixir, Legend, Neon, Ozone, Raw Cherry, Slut, & Notorious, my Number One by a country mile is Onyx Extreme followed by Slut and Daddy. At the other end of the ratings Tabac is by far my least favourite and almost unwearable for me :( Oud is not much better, with Ozone completing the bottom three. I do agree with your view that the Summer style fragrances are the weakest in Aaron's line.

What do you think of carbon?

The Elon Musk pop ups every time musk is mentioned is crazy😂 love this channel!!

I agree in relation to collection size - it’s the same for Navitus Parfums - WAY too many fragrances and no ‘collections’ to make it easier for a consumer to know what’s what… ATH is not at THAT level, but having lots and lots of fragrances with unique names makes it hard for a consumer

Everyone aboard the ATH 🚂!!! 😄

Can you elaborate more on ATH Ozone? Is it a good coconut scented men's fragrance. You briefly mention it has the same vibe as ATH Homme?
