Hi guys, since uploading this video it has come to my attention that there are some glitches. It seems there were some problems when rendering the file for export. I can only apologise for the glitches and hope that you can still find some enjoyment in the video.

It is so funny to watch Aarons face and reactions while smelling the cheapies 😂 he clearly hates each one of them but is still being polite and keeping it unoffensive. It's clear that he is very experienced when it comes to fragrances and has a very well-trained nose. The way he picks up on all the ingredients on a blind-smell in your other videos is just mind blowing, well done!

Totally agree with Aaron on dupes taking a cut on designers income. But at the same time you can argue that for those who have got lazy with quality and performance, dupes can give them a reason to get themselves sorted out and hopefully start producing more quality fragrances again instead of ripping people off for bad experiences.

@athleticguy15 7 ай бұрын

The dupes or clones have only become popular because of the outrageous prices some of the designer fragrances cost. Thank heaven for discount fragrance sites.

@pobstrel 7 ай бұрын

Agree. Especially Tom Ford fragrances, where the prices have gone up but the quality and longevity isn't as good as they used to be.

@persephonesdad5792 7 ай бұрын

I hear you…..BUT…. NO ONE, NO WHERE is even attempting to clone any ATH fragrance….and do you know why??? Because he puts together QUALITY and doesn’t charge our eyeballs out. If the big boys with the deep pockets and wholesale prices weren’t trying to squeeze a dime out of a nickel (or 110 pence out of a quid) and gave us more for our money. clones couldn’t take from them as much.

@thefreestylefrEaK 6 ай бұрын

"Dupes" replicate the originals. Many "dupe" companies do a very good job of mimicking the legit product these days. For many of us who like a certain "dupe" we'll actually go out and buy the original. So it works both ways. Most people don't have a few hundred bucks to buy 1 designer or niche fragrance, but imagine spending that kind of money on a blind buy of the original and not liking it?

@dudleyhamby2029 7 ай бұрын

Because some of us out here are not so wealthy and that's why we can't afford a $200-$400 bottle of fragrance and have to go to clones. And some of the clones out there can give a lot of designers fragrances a run for their money. Anyway thank you for making the video and can't wait to see more. Be well my friend.

@dizzy4303 6 ай бұрын

ATH is a perfume chemist so he can instantly recognise the compounds and chemicals. So he can kinda predict accurately if those chemicals will last or not. The clone issue is that they never last. Its actually kinda amazing that they can really pull off the scent, problem is it lasts 15min. Most reviewers/fragrance experts actually dont hate on clones, but there are only a few clone houses that can make the scent AND make it last

@dudleyhamby2029 6 ай бұрын

@@dizzy4303 My friend I have several clones that last 8+hours some even longer than that. It's INSANE to ask $300 to $400 for a fragrance when the majority of hard working people can not afford such luxuries. Real people have children,bills and food to pay for. Not everyone is money wealthy. I will stick to my clones rather than making some hody tody perfumer more wealthy. Be well and have a beautiful day.

I don't know if you have anything like a TJ Maxx out where you are (I'm betting you do), but here in the U.S., but TJ Maxx is a "rack store" that has a lot of fragrances marked down in price, plus they also carry a lot of clone brands (like Camara and Milestone) that I have found to be of surprisingly good quality. I would be very curious to see what Aaron thinks of these niche clones that have been increasing in the rack stores over here. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more content!

I agree with Aaron on dupes I only get the out of reach ones .. I think Diaghilev by Roja Dove is AMAZING but I cannot spend $1,000 on a fragrances, but Alexandria makes a version that is spot on at 97%, bought a $10.00 sample of the real deal and compared the 2 and longevity was the only issue but at $69.00 a bottle I can reapply multiple times a day. I am trying Great Britain next. Thanks for an interesting but way to long video ..LOL. Cheers Mate 😎

@persephonesdad5792 7 ай бұрын

I am so surprised more people don’t think EXACTLY like this. I have a per bottle limit I’m just not willing to exceed . I remember my first clone purchase.. The 2mL original cost more than the 100mL clone. For my BEGINNER nose they were identical. Now. (2yrs later) I absolutely detect many differences other than the obvious (projection & longevity) and still the clone is a great stand alone fragrance, but the original offers so much more.

@Mojo8 7 ай бұрын

@@persephonesdad5792 I agree 100%, I can afford the mid to high fragrances but not at the rate I liken to purchase fragrances . Like Black tier from Roja would be almost 1- 2 months of multiple purchases of quality niche or designer but mainly niche. I have a clone of black tier God only knows how the original smells, I would be in heaven.. LOL. Cheers 😎
