its advanced level critique to praise a perfume for its technical accomplishment whilst saying its not to your personal preference. acknowledging its artistry and that it will be liked by others and is in many ways admirable whilst being subjective about your own taste, shows Aaron to be the best fragrance reviewer on KZfaq

Who else gives Aaron a thumbs even before the video starts?

I love how you can still compliment a fragrance and recognize the art and ability of a perfumer without actually liking it for yourself. Your professionalism and insight keep me coming back.

Beau de jour is a prime example of taking a classic and putting a new suit on it... One of my many faves from the range 🦄

I absolutely love this. Reminds me of walking into barbershop when I was a kid .

I've been waiting this review for a long time Aaron,thank you.I think this is an excellent modern fougere.Really love it!

Aaron you are looking so sharp and great at the moment. Life is clearly treating you well. Thanks for another brilliant review. I love this fragrance. It gets better as it settles and is truly a classic.

This is in my top 3 in my collection and I'm so happy you have your thoughts on it! One thing I can say about it's performance - amazing! Projection, longevity and spillage checks all the boxes - for me!

The initial lavender this projects is absolutely brutal. If I could just bottle the 8th hour of this frag and keep it linear for 5 hours, I think it could quite possibly be a perfect formulation. It reminds me of a cool uncle at a christening in a grey suit in the 80’s, the kind of uncle who was up to speed with the latest technology at the time, he would have had a brick mobile phone, a top of the range VCR, silver casio watch and a walkman with black sponge headphones.

Thanks Aaron- I just love this fragrance. Both the skin scent and the surrounding cloud it makes are delicious. I would probably like an 80's musk version of this even more! Almost everything about Beau De Jour is superior to the typical perfume samples I've been testing lately especially longevity. Upon application I love it all the way to the final moments of the dry down.

Absolutely loving the set and camera work, your videos look fantastic Aaron!

I Love This Review, Been Definitely Waiting For This One 🥺❤️.. Much Love Always Aaron❤️

Great review Aaron! I had a bottle of the private blend version, and to my nose that one had quite a pronounced cumin note on top that I liked, but I know isn't very popular. That is totally missing from this version, which I also like!

Holy shit this video style is very satisfying. I've never watched a perfume video before, subscribed!

Thank you for your review on this. I just picked this up a few days ago, tried it on and mixed a little of Molecule 02 with it on one arm and just BDJ on the other. Both scents lasted me on skin for about 24hrs, the molecule 02 + BDJ lasting a bit longer with a stronger scent. I did a full day of cardio, running errands, meeting with friends for brunch, grilling outside, and this smell still lasted and endured the entire day. I'm not sure if maybe its just my skin type, but this lasts way longer for me than most people say it lasts for them. Love this ❤

Aaron is amazing. Can't get enough of this. Fantastic description.

I've got the private blend version, very nice. I can send a 2ml if you want for comparison

Thank you Aaron. You are the only perfume reviewer (perfumer) who I trust. Too many perfume reviewers out there with bigger numbers and little knowledge. I hate to think for them it's more of a popularity contest. Your review are honest, professional, balanced and inspired. Plus I love your NASA t-shirt..you geek. ;) Keep at it!

Love your reviews Aaron. Don't know why I am getting a Virgina Tobacco note in the dry down and I love it! Regards!

This has been on my list for a while. Thank you. Made me laugh in public with your frustration with the name. I can relate. Love the NASA sweatshirt!

Awesome review! I wish Houbigant's Fougere Royale was on your upcoming list as well, maybe also Penhaligon's Sartorial.

Nice review Aaron. Masterpiece frag, amber in the dry down reminds me of Grand Soir, love it!

I bought this for my dad last year for his birthday and he absolutely loves it. Takes a classic and timeless DNA and makes it modern, palatable and so lovely. I would wear it myself

i could wathc these reviews all day..well done aaron

Really great review Aaron. Eventhough it is not your scent, you do give positive feedback and credits to the artist for doing a job well done. Love that about you. I have this one on my mind for a while because I do love these kind of scents. Hearing your comment and thoughts and reading others commenting on this video, does make me wonder how this one will develop on my skin. So soon I will go to a store and give this one a try. Thank you so much! The Tom Ford I personaly like the most till now and is one of my scents for life, is Costa Azzurra.

Blown away by your insight Aaron, points like adding musk would date this frag is the kind of stuff that sets you apart. Hair and burley beard kick-ass as well :D Keep the brilliance coming!

Thank you Aaron for another great n honest video. Stay safe brother 😎🤜🤛🙏

Super review as always. An education. Spring fragrance for me at the right moments I like it simply because being old, 50, it reminds me of Eau Savage when I wore that in 1980s

Great review. I’d like it if you reviewed the private blend version for comparison. It’s stronger and more robust, in my opinion.

Great review and dope shirt Aaron!

In the last video , you rushed the greetings, but this one was perfect!! Hope all is well, great video! Im doing fantastic and very well as well lol!

Aaron, Id love for you to do 're reveiw' on a frag you've done before. Because that review was no doubt in my mind the best review I've ever seen. The frag is Pardon by Nasomatto. Your emotions were out of control dude.

Man your voice is so unique and profound love it

I got a sample of this year and on first sniff I wasn't entirely sold (I find barbershop fragrances a bit sickening) but have persevered and like it enough to own a small bottle. Perfect for this time of year. Rogue Perfumery do some great modern interpretations of older style fougeres. Chypre Siam in particular is intriguing. I have a sample but now considering purchasing. One perhaps for a future review?

Would love to see you do a review of parfums de Marley Greenley, I absolutely love the stuff!

🔥Aaron is my go-to guy for fragrance reviews.

I love this and also that type of fragrances. Reminds me my grandpa who was using bowl with his brush to put on his shaving cream and then shave with razor or razor blade. Just love this patchouli and oak moss. Really nice fougere and bring a lot of memories.

The Private Blend version of BdJ is excellent. One of the really great modern male perfumes. See if you can grab a decant of it and compare.

I tested this in a store a couple of months ago, and it’s a pretty damn good scent. Haven’t tried many Tom Fords, but Oud Wood didn’t do anything for me and Tobacco Vanille was just as good as Beau de Jour. Great review

Aaron, I would encourage you to review Beau de Jour private blend edition -- it is so much longer lasting, deeper, mercurial and weird in a good way. It's got all that herbaceous stuff that gets integrated in the ambery dry-down in a very beautiful way.

This is now my signature scent. Wear it every day. Love it.

This was a slow burn for me….much like Tobacco Oud. I have this but the Private Blend bottle. It was too herbaceous for me in the opening but the more I wore it, the more my nose adjusted and loved it. The dry down is gorgeous and projects massively….haven’t tried the Signature Line to be able to compare. Since I’ve been going back into the office, this has started to become a signature fragrance. Cheers!!

I love Beau de Jour, I am really curious what you have to say about it .. LET' S GO!

I think 8 is absolutely correct. Well done ATH-great content

The fragrance that Beau De Jour smells like is Zino Davidoff. It's like a niche version of that. I like layering Beau De Jour with Calvin Klein Obsession. I love the way it smells and get great performance with it on my skin.

I’d love to see you review any Orto Parisi!

I really appreciate your in depth review and view on fragrances! Your review on "Gucci Guilty Absolute" was one of the reasons why I purchased the 'hunter gatherer - scent'. I have developed high trust in your professional opinion and nose :) I would love to hear your thoughts on another fougere: "Eau Sauvage Parfum" from Dior. Greetings from Austria!

I think it would be fantastic, if you make a website as a database for your reviews with all the given info. Great stuff My favourite Perfumery channel

This is currently my fav spring/autumn day frag with Daddy and myths man as my main autumn/winter night frags.

I really like your reviews, especially how you go in detail. Is there a chance you could review "Acqua di Parma Fico di Amalfi"? I need advise for a summer scent

Very very interesting style of description… but I do like it.👍

Aaron! You should try something in the region of, cardamom, pink pepper, sweet orange, or lime, , sharp lavender, patchouli, vetiver, leather, musk, oud & cedarwood. Give it a go please.

I respect that even though you may personally not wear certain fragrances, you still praise the quality of them.

Love this frag!! Currently my office fragrance is grey vetiver and my spring and summer fragrances are Green Irish tweed , ADG Profumo and Profondo! So this my might be my next pick up when I finish one of those bottles!!

I still haven’t smelled this one Aaron but I do love lavender fragrances

Another great review!! Being I have no desire to smell all geriatric like a barbershop in America or abroad, this is a hard pass for me 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Aaron thanks for your YT Chanel, love to watch your reviews. I will be very happy to se how you review Marc Antoine Barrois- Ganymede

They did a great job with this reformulation, however I'm still all about the Private Blend version - My signature for years now. It's an absolute love & one of the best fougere/barbershop scents ever released. The flanker fougeres (Fougere D'Argent / Fougere Platine) were also very nice but BDJ just rocks. This signature version is a great value no doubt, but Private Blend still wins out across the board; scent, performance, etc. They really overdosed the mint a bit too much with the new one IMO... It's still great but not as good as the balance in the original.

Rocking the beard!

Got a spray on my wrist once, and could smell it on the sleeve of my jacket from 10cm away 6 months later. And I wished I loved the fragrance-profile/style, because its such quality for money.

Excellent breakdown as usual. Long lasting yes, but not for me. I just didn't like this at all!... I got this after watching a review and was a blind buy, but boy was I not disappointed. Not that it is a bad perfume, but it just didn't work well on my skin and to be honest, I didn't like the smell at all!... I will be more cautious next time buying this type of perfume (barbershop) and possibly smell it in a shop next time before buying this sort. Saying that I did like the simple bottle and was comfortable holding and spraying it. But sorry not for me.

not something I would wear either, didn't like it at first but as i smelt it again and again i grew to appreciate it and love its modernity :)

I love your reviews...

Bought it for my dad and he loved it .. I love it as well 👌 A manly mans fragrance. It has freshness, green, erathy, freshspicy, woody to die for. Wear this when it is 🌧 and you will smell amazing

When will you check out Ganymede by Marc-Antoine Barrois? I’d love to hear your opinion!

Would love to see what you think about Costa Azzura :)

all time favorite

I love this scent! Sadly, since this video has been recorded, the price has gone up to £94 for 50ml or £130 for 100ml. I have an 100ml of this and it's stunning. Beau De Jour translates to, "a beautiful day".

Love your reviews, an education each time! How do you feel about Beau De Jour in comparison with something like Platinum Egoiste? I’m interested in aromatic fougeres and have been looking out for more barbershop fragrances that don’t smell dated.

Great review again. Have tested it and I get great projection and longevity from it. (But I know that's subjective and many factors change that experience.) I compare it to Platinum Chanel Egoiste, which I think is a much better fragrance, but less dense and doesn't last as long. Thanks for another great review! (Ps: I think you said "Estee Lauder" in around the 5:15s mark instead of "Tom Ford"-is the Tom Ford brand under Estee Lauder?)

Off topic but where can I pick up that fab NASA sweatshirt?

I've been forever looking for the private blend. 😩 I got a 50ml and after the first spray, I ordered a 100ml.

Very good review Aaron. Between Tom Ford Beau de Jour and Diptyque Eau de Minthe, which one would you choose? A greeting from Spain 👍👍

Thanks Aaron

Really interesting comparison to Kouros...I didn't get that at all but am keen to smell them side-by-side suddenly!

This will be my next spring fragrance

I think you're 100% spot on regarding people in America. Enjoying the fragrance more than across the pond. I've watched every review on this fragrance. And everyone in America loves it everyone else. It's ok, not so impressive.

I’m a woman and I wear Beau De Jour all the time. I always get compliments from other women and men. I feel like it’s a unisex fragrance. It’s my favourite and the scent dries down well over the day.

Lavender & Geranium is literally the barbershoppy shaving cream accord. If you want to make such a retro fragrance, you need this accord in the heart and build the the whole thing around it. I told you before that I'm sure many of your gentlemen customers would love such a fragrance from you made in your own style.

"Lavender pulses", oh dear!. 😂 On point, Aaron 😂

Any recomendation for barbershop fragrance but longer lasting than BDJ?

Awsome review. Can you do Chanel Antaeus in the future?

Aaron, how do you get such a nice tan? Is it fake? MT2?

One of my favorites..

Aaron you should try Rive Gauche Pour Homme, even if you don't like I believe it's technically great (IMHO). Another barbershop fougére.

Aaron, I would love to see your take on an Oriental fougere. I would imagine it would be very modern and very smooth.

phenomenal modernized by amber fougere dna. My favorite perfume for life.

I would love you to assess MDCI Chypre Palatin!

Perhaps review of M. A. Barrois Ganymede in the future ...?

Has anyone told you that you look and sound like Harald "Finehair" from Vkings? Awesome review, btw!

I just picked up a bottle and I can't get enough. The lavender is so well done. This has become one of my favorites out of my 70 frags.

Sounds like something I might like, although I haven't tried Onyx Extreme, Maverick or Raw Cherry yet. Are any of those sold as samples?

I was about to get this one cuz I enjoy the smell, but is the projection that bad? After this review, I stared to worry that the performance will be not worth it.

Hi Aaron! I think Fougere. Make sure you pick up some Rogue Perfumery bottles while you’re in the US (their chypres & fougeres are my reference point). I’m really really curious about your ideas about redevelopment, inspiration, and moving with the times. Fascinated to see how these types of perfumes will develop with new regulation. Great review!

Hey guys, I just bought a bottle and when I look up the batch code, I receive two different dates. The batch code is B99/19323. This is the first time I looked up a batch code. If I enter B99 the date returned is 09 2019. If I enter 19323 it shows March 2022. I tried two different websites. Any suggestions?

My favourite TF currently, reminds me of the Lacoste Original from the 80s

Aaron! I just LOVE your voice and ur microphone just gives your zen voice justice.. What microphone do you use?

Thank you thank you

Hi, Please also do Costa Azzura

Remarkable review
