I did not expect Red Tobacco and Herod on this list, but interesting picks 👍👍👍 looking forward to more videos 😀😉

There are youtubers reviewing perfumes and then there are Aaron T. Hughes reviews. Just in the same way as there are regular people singing in the shower and then there was Luciano Pavarotti singing in the shower.

I recently purchased Mancera's Red Tobacco. I love it!✨ Once you get past the controversially harsh opening, the dry down is smooth and sweet. Looking forward to wearing it out in the upcoming months.

Love this video Aaron! I always enjoy your reviews and this is a compilation of your favorites. I realy like how you review. Even when you don't like a scent, you do stay objective if the parfume is well made. This concept I'd love to see more often once a while. Platinum Égoïste is a scent for life for me and also one of my signature scents.

Nice video ATH! Here to second the Chanel Egoiste Platinum selection. That scent is simply incredible and women will always pick up on it. I call it the "Tell me you're an executive without telling me you're an executive" fragrance :). I always pick up as many bottles as I can via things like an American Express special or whatever, I love wearing it.

I always learn something new from your insights Aaron, thank you. I also have many of your personal company frags that I adore and ALWAYS get compliments from people right away. With saying that, I would have to say that out of my entire collection (over a 100 frags) my absolute top two that I could live with til the end of days would be your ATH Tabac that blows my mind and then also RED TOBACCO from Mancera. STUNNING!!!

I feel exactly the same regarding concentration preference among the 3 Bleu de Chanels. The EDT and the Parfum are my favorites. Great vid!!

My ATH samples came this morning and I ordered again an hr later. Insane! Love them so much. It’s amazing how much they change on skin. Wish I could order full sizes of so many 😩 decided on onyx and Luna but will defo look at buying more. Some of them I’d love as room diffusers.

Belting list as usual Aaron. Can't wait to see the next Vid👍👍 I would also have included Guerlain Habit Rouge and Guerlain I'Deal Cologne. Both amazing freshies and not too expensive. Although I'Deal Cologne was discontinued about 2 years ago TBF.

Recently purchased Homme and it's already one of my own favourite freshies. Your range is absolutely amazing!

More of these aaron. Your top list videos are really insightful and nice.

Mancera RT is one of my favorite frags... looove the dry down and silage... beautifully done

fantastic video as always aaron!! love this type of video but keep making whatever content you enjoy the most. i’m going to london this summer but don’t think i’ll be able to make the journey to your shop, painful to be so close yet so far. hope you’re well

Great video, love the short, snappy to the point style. I also love Quercus by Penhaligon's. Love to see you test that.

Been waiting on this one! Fresh is about all I can wear without getting a headache

I love this channel. Such a professional and classy approach

Fabulous list. I own Halfeti and adore this one. Red Tobacco I I like better for cooler weather. Funny you mentioned PDM Harod. I have that on my radar and am between that and Kalan next. Another great review Aaron!

I wouldn't call Red Tobacco a freshie but it's one of my go tos.

ATH I just want you to know you are by far my favorite fragrance guide. Thats my term for it. I would love to see a video on a educated review of Sauvage EDT vs EDP vs Parfum vs Elixir. If you read this anyway to get Smoulder which was limited, I didn't even know who you were then so I missed out on it.

I own PDM Herod love it … there are a couple you listed today I will definitely check out. Preciate’cha

man, i’m just came home from disco and i love you, you reviewes and you gestures, huge hug from italy to u(k)

Love all of them (wore BDC EDT during the 2010s a lot) and now more Cédrat Boisé and Halfeti (really love it). I plan to pull the trigger on Gentle Fluidity Silver from MFK.

Love you channel man! I would love to see more of your reviews on the house if Xerjoff. I just recently got into this house after years and years of not trying. I need to get an ATH frag in my collection! Your house is next on my list..my skin the same red tobacco is a freshie for me as well!

I’m glad you mention platinum egoiste. It’s great indeed. Most reviewers always talk about the same fragrances……

Love this list! Thanks Aaron

Very agree with you that fragrances can smell so different on the strips and skin so I don’t blind buy fragrances anymore except yours 💜

Really dig the shirt+necklace! Great list.

Nice roundup video. 👍🏻 Thank you Aaron.

Chanel just does fresh right! Will always be my favorite house 💯

For anyone who loves Herod as a summer freshie banger, I also suggest Norne and Sova from Slumberhouse, Dior's Leather Oud, Killian's Angels' Share, and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. KILLER in high heat situations! I love you, Aaron, but I just had to have a little laugh.

ATH, just need to say that Raw Cherry is insane. Sprayed it on a couple of hours before going to bed and it was still projecting the following morning 👌 sweet, calming and delicious. Superb work sir 🤝

I’ve been meaning to buy Bleu de Chanel Parfum. It is beautiful and easy to wear.

Thank you Aaron , great job amigo. I have Red Tobacco and it's a bad ass fragrance, great compliments. 😎👍

It's great dat u have diversified ur video style... Hope to see more of dose from time to time🤓

Love your work! I can't wear Bleu Parfum or Harod in the warm seasons.

Your quality of videos got so much better, I think its the most natural thing to uncomfortable infront of a camera but that is also gone. Reeeally damn nice to see the flanker inside of the frame that you stand in, not in a sepersate picture(or smaller animations) I personally think ist mich better the way you do it.

For me halfeti is the best all situation scent you can buy. You can even wear it in the gym as well but also for the office, night time, daily, ... And it's a real banger in terms of longevity. I sprayed it in the air some time and I could smell it for hours!!

So glad to see Halfeti get some love.

Love your info as always Aaron for me the edp blue de channel is best get the citrus and density of parfume only criticism would be longevity but that’s why I use Leyton parfume de marly can’t fault either x

I respectfully have to disagree with Red Tobacco and Herod being frieshes. Definitely fall and winter frags in my opinion. Herod is cozy and sexy and I do love it. I liked Red Tobacco for a while and got tired of it. To me PDM Carlisle is what Red Tobacco should have been. It's a smoother, sexier, not so in your face version to me. More rounded out. Always love your videos Aaron. Keep it up 🤜🤛

Mancera cedrat boise and mancera black gold are my signature fragrances which are good for this time of year and are fresh. Penhaligons Quercus is a good shout from that house as well

Bleu de Chanel parfum is fantastic! My favorite "freshie" is probably Percival by PDM but I also really like Versace pour homme, especially the dry down.

Excellent Review and selection! 💥

Love all these... Egoiste platinum was a staple for me through the 90s , love most Penhaligons you need to try Constantinople, Cairo too. They are great ☺️🦄

Fragrance opinion can change anyway regardless of skin or tester strip, quite a few times over the years I've brought a fragrance thought this is a let down and put it away and 6 months later saw it and thought I'll give it another go and i absolutely loved it after, I actually did exactly this with armani code profumo and yet last winter i wore it a lot

Top pics Aaron. For any Brits out there, go into a store and try Halfeti (or cedar/leather flankers) they are beautiful

Enjoyed this. I didn't think of these as "freshies" but it's all relative and dependent the nose and the wearer's skin.

Thanks Aaron great video really enjoyed it

Hi Aaron, try Mancera’s cedrat boise intense. Its a woody freshie but a beautifully blended beast. I would also suggest to use it once and let it macerate gor couple of weeks to feels its true magnificence.

I’m glad you mentioned some fragrances that people wouldn’t associate with spring or summer. I wear Red Tobacco periodically during the summer when I’m outside with friends. It lasts from morning till night with 2-3 sprays and never need to reapply. Another one I wear a lot in the spring/summer is Oud Wood. For some reason it lasts longer and projects better in the warmth and sun. Excellent video! Cheers!

Top Freshie scents: Mancera Cedrat Boise, Hermes L'Ombre Des Merveilles, Bleu De Chanel, Nishane Hacivat and Roja Parfums Elysium. To me Red Tobacco, Herod and Halfeti are just too dark to wear in warmer months and for me to consider them a freshie.

Herod is amazing! Did not look at it as a freshy though..........milder summer temps you think? 70-80s?

Really good List....Platinum and Bleu de Chanel are my Faves. My personal Freshy List... 1. Bleu de Chanel 2. Platinum Egoiste 3. Nikos Sculpture 4. Hermes Mandarine Ambree 5. Versace Dylan Blue 6. Prive by Emper - Once upon a Time 7. Mexx Fresh Men ( A REALLY GOOD Cheapi that smells like Beach, because of the passionfruit in the Opening ) 8. Dior Homme Sport 2017 9. Joop Homme 10. Davidoff Cool Water and Cool Water Aquaman

A great blue alternative that gets overlooked is Versace Dylan Blue. I much prefer it to Blu de Chanel / Savauge etc.

Aaron, yep , I will admit that the penhaligons halfeti is awesome, bleu de chanel parfum awesome, and lately I'm totally addicted to ORMONDE MAN BY ORMONDE JAYNE, it's a total unadulterated MASTERPIECE. Please try it, the base notes are lovely , it grows on you like nothing else. Sheer perfection.

I know u don't want to make the channel all about top 10s but it will be amazing to make from now and then especially you smell new perfumes everyday.

Louis Vuitton Imagination 🔥 My most favorite freshie/summery at the moment. Bleu de Chanel works great on hot skin I guess. I just tested it today again on the back of my hand. 2-3 hours later, when I blow my hot breath on the back of my hand it starts to smell different and very nice. Have to try it out in the mid summer heat.

Im interested to hear your thoughts on MFK Masculin Pluriel, I wonder which of the 3 possible lavenders you mention frequently were used in the blend

My favorite freshie is The Night by Frederic Malle, works like magic especially in high heat and small rooms 🐵

Awesome list.

Great new video! Hope, that we will see more vids, like this one

Interesting that the only true summer freshie here is Edition Blanche, which happens to be my favorite hot weather fragrance as well!

Hopefully you can get a chance to review - Penhaligon's Much A Do About the Duke. For those who are a fan of Penhaligon's, you may know all about this one.

Just your videoly reminder to check out Penhaligon's Sohan. You will love it Aaron seriously

Nice review Aaron , I always try perfumes on my skin . I’m not a fan of strips .

I think your fans appreciate these kinds of videos. I remember a while ago you mentioned that you loved incense. Just wondering what your favorites are.

Would love to hear your thoughts on L’Envol de Cartier EDP, a masterpiece by Mathilde Laurent. An “airy oriental.”

Love Chanel Blanche, My fav freshie are le galion sang blue, ungaro pour homme III and fendi uomo

Handsome you🌷 thanks for all the great reviews👍

MFK gentle fluidity silver and bohemian lime by goldfield and banks are 👌👌👌 for daytime frags for me.

Platinum egoiste is one of my fav..... 🥰🥰

You're 100% correct about the sillage on BdC; I was at a walking event with friends who are not into frags, and there was a middle age man walking ahead of us, and I asked my friends "do you smell that?" They could all smell the very familiar citrus-freshy-clean-y thing we all know. I said "that's Bleu de Chanel." They all said "Oh, it's nice!" I said... "I friggin HATE IT." ;) (Because I do). Anyhoo, THANKS for this, I'm _not_ a freshie fan *at all* , much more a dark oriental etc type, but am always looking for different/unique freshies I can try and have wanted to check out Red Tobacco for a long time; I'll def get a sample now. Love your vids, hope all is well with you over there!

PLEASE Arron review my favourite fragrances Amouage Journey and Xerjoff Bouquet Ideale.

thanks Aaron- I love Herod the most so far from the house as it lacks this apple thing they use that's making some of the others not work for me

Wouldn't call Red Tobacco, Herod, and Halfeti freshies - they're mainly for colder weather imo. Safer picks I'd say Percival and Bohemian Lime, a bit more out there I'd say Uden and Sedley.

What was his trick for the fragrance to last longer? I couldn't really understand. Thank you

I love Penhaligons have you tried Blenheim Bouquet a really old fashioned Barber shop smell i just wished it lasted longer on me.

Calling Herod a freshie? That's an interesting way to look at it... but definitely appreciate your opinions, great video!

ui, that was quick, but indeed very nice collection

Herod and red tobacco are two of the furthest from “fresh”. I was expecting Y EDP, ADG… stuff in that realm.

Could you please try out arabian oud arabian knight silver for your next review? Very curious for you to check out that oriental, fresh and beautiful fragrance

When I think of freshies I think of green, aquatic etc. With that said Aaron, have you ever tried inekes Idyllwild fragrance?

Hey Aaron love the videos Have you smelled light blue Italian love or forever those are also really good freshies smells almost like it has real grapefruit in it like you just cut into one and you've salted it ready to eat

Hi Aaron! Did you ever smell Knize Forest?...(from the creators of Knize Ten and Knize Two) I love the Knize line! Warm regards!

Dear Aaron, do you plan to review MANCERA CEDRAT BOISE anytime soon? It's an interesting fragrance, right now very popular. The special thing about it: One day you love it, the next day not so much.... aaand on the third day you'll adore it again... Very specific one. I'd really appreciate your personal opinion of it. Have a nice day and take care ♥️

Womder if you would regard Xerjoff 1861 Renaissance as a freshie, I do because of the opening

ty Aaron

Top freshies… must include Haze Blue and Carbon!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My favourite Freshies Mancera Cedrat Boise(Superior to Elysium and Aventus) Mancera Aoud Lemon Mint Montale Tropical Wood Blue De Chanel EDP(best of both EDT and Parfum imo) D&G Light Blue Eau Intense Geurlian Homme EDP YSL Y EDP Moschino Uomo(awesome but lacks performance) Ferragamo F Pour Homme.

Thank you!

Please Please Aaron need to hear your Thoughts on the Bharara Niche house especially King and Bleu Pour Homme Pleeeeaaasee ✍️✍️✍️think you would looove these

love the list agree on most of them except red tobacco its to sharp on the nose for me instead of that i wear triumph of bacchus its a more rounded version of red tobacco

Can you please review Cafe Rose by Tom Ford? Recently found it and I think it’s amazing but I’d love to hear your thoughts on it

So what I need to do for losting longer? Because I don't understand this "carbon" infromation? I will be really thankfull for this infromation

Love the freshie talk. Too much sweet dark shit out there. Bubblegum boys

Hi Aaron, just wanted to ask you what happened to Zeus? I loved that fragrance, is it discontinued?

I frigging love halfeti its so addictive

I tend to feel the same way about BDC. I’m not blown away by any but I do like the Parfum & the EDT but the eau de parfum for whatever reason just doesn’t do anything for me 🤷‍♂️

I wish you could review the gentle fluidity silver from Francis kurkdjian
