This perfume inspired me to become a full-time perfumer... 

wow, can't believe it took this long to find you. An actual PERFUMER doing reviews, this is golden, thank you!

There’s something about a person who’s passionate about what thay do, especially when they share why. Thanks man...👍

I have watched alot of RU-vidr reviewers to help me choose perfume. This guy is the most poetic, expressive, descriptive and knowledgeable one I've come across. Also, his voice and his accent are an extra bonus.

I love the unabashed passion that clearly shines through in all of your content.

This becomes personal. Like an intimate conversation between best friends. Thankyou for sharing this essential story with us, Aaron!

Now you make me wanna have a sniff on this genius creation, the way you explain it sounds so ethereal

Hi aaron i lost my job after 3 years thanks to covid on 30th april and still watched your videos just to keep upto date. But today got a new job after i only applied for 2 and will hopefully get something from your collection as my first niche aftershave. REST CAN WAIT LOL

I'm so sorry to hear it's been discontinued. Your seal of approval means something.

Thanks for sharing your feelings with us. It's always a pleasure to know more about your art and what inspires you. All the best to you Aaron.❤ Btw your chain is gorgeous!

Hi Aaron! I absolutely love your work and enthusiasm! Honestly, I was in a similar boat of loving fragrance as a hobby, making some perfumes for the same amount of recreation. Your success and products are what inspired me to take that step forward into making it a career. Thank you so much for being an inspiration! One day, I hope to meet you and have you smell my own perfume!

I really value your opinion above all others, mainly because of your passionate and artistic interpretation of fragrances you review and it matters not how popular the house is.....you give your raw and honest opinion and it comes across genuinely 🙂❤️ .

Your videos inspired me on my perfuming journey! Great job as always and love to see the channel grow!

I absolutely adore your content, and I know I'd love your work! I can't wait to get my hands on some of your fragrances!

It's every time interesting how you describe different kind of fragrances. Thanks a lot 👍

Man you’re lighting my brain up with ASMR like a Christmas tree. ❤️

I have watched this review many times and the enthusiasm Aaron has for this fragrance made me purchase this now its back in Dior. It is a sensational attar. Great reviews.

Enjoyed learning about your experience with this fragrance, be safe and BLESSED 💯

Such inspiration for starting my day here in Sydney. Thank you Aaron

The way you display the perfumes and interpret them with that soothing voice is magnetic I'm curious to try one of your perfumes.

Im not a fan of rose but you made me wanna have a bottle of just that perfume. I have so much trust in your reviews

You owe the world to review each and every perfume out there. The most soothing and intelligent review in RU-vid. You put other reviewers to shame.

Ahh that look on your face is awesome like seeing an old friend or the perfect drink or being home.

Thank you for going in this direction i love all your work haze is now one of my favourites my collection is getting bigger each month 💯 never will ever buy anyone else you look after your customer's like no one else 🤯

OMG how did I just discover you existed? THANKKKKKKKKKK YOUUUUU!!! x

You can always do an ATH version of this fragrance. It is frustrating when your favourite fragrance gets discontinued.

Ohh our aaron! Its not very often if ever really I hear you speak of something in such a deep heartfelt way apart from nasomatto pardon, I listen to all your reviews and take them quite seriously, I suppose its like George Benson jazz guitar to a real guitarist, its just heavenly , most non musicians wouldn't understand. Its obviously very close to your inner heart. Keep up the good work. X

I admit I wasn't expecting it to be a Dior, but a Tom Ford, hahaha.

your passion inspires me

Thank you Aaron!

What a delightful video, thank you for sharing your inspiration and passion! Much love and respect, from San Diego California. Peace be with you and yours.

OMG!!!! It was the first time I was blown away too! I tested it in Galleries Lafayette in Paris. I never saw a perfume as an oil. The smell was as beautiful as an old Krug champagne. Yes you have great taste.

When you smell it I can see the joy radiating from your face.

You are an exceptional member of the fragrance community. Very unique, intelligent and stylish. I am going to try and locate your own brand of fragrances here in Australia.

New subscriber Mr Hughes and i'm blown away by your true honest reviews i'll be triying your personal line of fragrances

Your voice is so soothing! I could listen to you all day

Excellent review, excellent story, I have to try your fragrances Aaron

💜 Wish they would release it again Aaron, What a pity something so Beautiful is no longer available!!! 🌹

Outstanding presentation I can listen to you for hours 😄 and I don't even have a chance to smell this gorgeous rose elixir, so sad is discontinued

I don't respect anyone's opinion like I respect yours! Especially after getting my hands on 4 of your fragrances and discovering you're not all talk. Your work is master class. Although Daddy is my favorite I've collected so far, simply because it speaks to me heavily, each one is unique and worth much more than the price. So when I see you gush about the rare fragrance that hits your standard completely, I know it must be something special! I've gotta get my nose on this!

Awesome, Aaron, I'd like to smell that sometime. Sort of like you I found a fragrance that sparked my fragrance journey. I bought a fragrance that I had recently ran out of and it smelled totally different, so I hopped online to see if the formulation changed and in doing so I discovered there is this whole fragrance community on the internet :) Sure enough I found Basenotes and stumbled across their "Aventus" category. I thought, "How is a fragrance so good that it gets its own subforum?" So I bought a sample and when I took that first whiff I felt like I had finally found what I was looking for. It blew me away so much I now have over 80 fragrances in 6 months time "chasing the magic dragon" trying to find that sublime feeling of being so blown away. I now love everything fragrance and I'm glad I stumbled onto a new hobby.

Its sounds just divine! 🥰

Have never heard of this. I'm a Rose 🌹 lover 💘. Thanks for the interesting video.

I got this and you're 100% accurate!

Got my hands on this in a very exclusive DOUGLAS & without any a**e licking: Your work surpasses this - thinking of Luna, Onyx & Onyx Extreme. So, you're already there. Keep it up 😊

i can see happiness in your eyes

It’s still available in USA. Only in a few boutique stores. I tried them all and just bought all the four types.

I started my fragrance journey when I was a little kid. Both of my parents wore fragrances and both sets of my grandparents did as well. My mom only wore one fragrance but she wore it all the time....Guerlain Shalimar. But what really got me hooked was what my dad wore....Polo Green, YSL Kouros, and Chanel Antaeus....I'm pretty sure there were others but this is what my childhood smelled like and what I judge everything against. I haven't really come across anything that puts me in the same mind-set as these fragrances except YSL Rive Gauche (smells like my dad's old shaving cream). I'm fortunate enough to have original bottles and fingers crossed they last me for the next 10+ years! I would love to see you release a fragrance that harkens back to what we had in the 80's!!! Excellent video!!!!

Mac dejarose turned me on to fragrances back in 2006. I also love rose notes.

I want to always wear anything that inspires a beautiful person like Aaron Terence Hughes.

The fragrance that made me fall deep into the love of fragrance was the original Guerlain Insolence which has since been discontinued and brought back watered down and made to be more mass appealing which is such a shame. Guerlain is one of the most infuriating houses since they make incredible juices yet discontinue the ones that are the most interesting and keep the overhyped and basic juices.

I was able to get it from the US. It does smell amazing and it is therapeutic. I wish it was more than 3ml for the price I paid.

Your RU-vid Channel inspered me to be a fan full time 🦄🙂🦄

Very Nice Aaron!

I love your intro, it's epic.

Beautiful person ❤beautiful review❤beautiful heart thank you for making the world a better place ❤

I was driving out in the country today and could smell the very pungent scent of mowed alfalfa drying. Made me curious if alfalfa scent could be put into a summer fragrance. I don't know if it would be good but it would certainly be unique

ty Aaron

I love perfume reviewers take on fragrances but frags being reviewed by a master perfumer is next level even if I don't always quite agree with the final remarks.

Hey Aaron, just wanted to say we don't drink alcohol here, but we do have A LOT of fragrance stores here selling alcohol based fragrances. Nothing wrong with alcohol fragrances. A subscriber from Saudi Arabia, really like your videos.

It's back in stock in Dior's site.. Was looking for a rose scent for layering base . This one nailed it!

My favourite ATH fragrance is..... ROSE. I even sent my 10ml bottle I had of yours that I was given with no label for you to verify it... Since then I have over 20 of your works. I like them all very very much but Rose is still my favourite... Keep up the brilliant work 👏👏👏👏

Your pathos is admirable. 🏆

I do love rose when its blended properly. Rose oud & tobacco 👍🏾

Hi Aaron, just received my 10ml bottles of Luna and Animalix today. Also a cheeky 10ml of Blood Orange that you guys also added in for free. What a pleasant surprise. Really made me happy so I wanted to reach out and say thanks. :D Shame when I found out that Blood Orange latches more on to lighter skin as you mentioned. I have dark skin myself but the smell is lovely. So this might be that one I'd overspray in hopes that it stays longer. Regardless, I truly appreciate the gesture Aaron.

Personally I almost consider Dior 2 distinct houses. Mainstream Sauvage etc don't even compare to the Privee lines. Really fantastic fragrances in there. Coincidentally I smelled Rose absolute in an AMAZING raw material perfumers store in Cairo (on the Maret Basha opposite the Egyptian museum) now whenever I'm working out there I pick up small bottles of raw materials I find interesting. And they're no cheaper in Egypt!

I've bought nearly all the Dior Oils they're incredible! Rose is gorgeous but I'm more a fan of the patchouli layered with Tobacolor. I'm hoping Dior makes more of these oils because there isn't one that I think isn't worth the money

Nice quick review of favorites!! Great to know what you would wear that wasn't your own!! I would love to watch you do a review of M.(Madame) Micallef "Gourmet"...I love it, it is very interesting...also, I'd love to hear your take on Karagoz by Nishane, it is dark, yet fresh... and a Beast!!

Whilst watching this my Parcel just arrived 🦄 I am in Heaven 🌟 your kindness & generosity is very much appreciated. Thank you 🙏

Hi Aaron! I just saw it being available at a Dior boutique in Paris!

AAaron, I believe they have it available on their website for the Valentine's season right now.

am fantastic too thanx for asking

4:00 - _the most perfect perfection_ - Aaron seems to really like it...

It's still available, at least in Spain it can be purchased through Dior's website.

I think they brought it back! You can buy it again

We all have that one smell that impacted us in a unique way. For me it was Kouros-YSL.

🌹What a surprise for this Dior.but I guess that our professor many times mentioned rose absolute in so many videos that it make sens. 🌹

Holy shit! Now I want a bottle of that Dior. 😆 Thank you for sharing. I will continue to buy your fragrances, kind sir!

Sounds beautiful I would recreate it with some burnt orange or jack fruit in it 🙂

You must come to Bulgaria in May, just to see how they boiling and extracting the rose oils...

I would love to find some Oil's in your collection. Something with Oud and Rose. I love how you use Rose and Oud.

I like your organic and unbiased reviews, interested on your take for 'Abercrombie & Fitch Authentic Night' . Cheers 👍🏻

I love Dior Fahrenheit. So different

Am new to this channel but find your reviews very direct and interesting. Not sure if mentioned before but you need to go visit that perfume guy in Dubai who claims to be able to create any fragrance pretty much instantly

Hi Aaron! Could you please explain what constitutes French perfumery? Is it something to do with the way it is constructed? Thanks in advance!

Fantastic xxx

This was a really nice story thanks for sharing. Since it is discontinued do you make anything on your line of fragrances that captures the essence of this maybe out of a tribute?

I feel this way about MFK’s 2002 original formulation of Armani Mania. To this day, I have never found a cologne as sexy as this one was. I bought a bottle of the newer formulation before it was discontinued, but it wasn’t the same. 😭

This perfume oil doesn´t seem to be discontinued. It´s still available on the original Dior online shop, at least here in Germany. 350€ for 3 gramms in August 2022.

Hello~ Aaron Is it projecting well? and how to apply attar oil to maximize to the best performance of it? I just got my hand on a bottle of the Oud Elixir in the same collection. BTW, I love offerings from your house. Raw Cherry, Forbidden, Oud are my favourite :)

Hello:) i m relatively new here:), i m going through your videos, it s a blessing. Thank you for sharing your hobby and knowledge with us, i m admiring your content:). Thank you also for sharing this personal intimate video with all of us❤

"sings..and dances..with mathemathical precision..", that's splendid interpretation

Did dior bring this back? Its listed for sale on their website

If you wanted to create something like that with honeysuckle, I'm your girl. I get so excited every year in my birth month when it pops out (in the Southeastern US) along with magnolias, star jasmine, gardenia - all the good stuff. Never been a rose girl myself. :)

Find someone to love you, as Aaron loves this perfume!

How surprising. Would’ve thought it’d be a scent that’s super dark, spicy and sweet that inspired ATH

Hi Aaron! I was introduced to your videos by my husband (we are both perfume lovers) we loooove your videos, please keep doing this wonderful job 👏🏻

If I was to take Dior's ROSE Elixir Précieux, and add it to perfumers alcohol will it still work as well as the oil?

For the people saying it took him too long to get to the review, understand that the whole thing IS the review.

@Aaron Terence Hughes : Great video! Can you recommend any perfumery classes? I live in the U.S. I appreciate your time and assistance!

Since you like rose, do you like habit rouge at all?
