I could listen to Aaron for days and days

Sometimes when I'm walking around, going about my daily life, I say out of the blue, "Ethyl maltol whipping through the base…" Great channel, Aaron. Your intellect and kindness are valued.

Aaron is one I trust. Knows all about making a good fragrance. If Aaron gives a ten I get the perfume. Keep up the good work

Excellent review, and fully agreeing with a score of 10 for Boss Elixir. Imho it's the best fragrance ever released by Boss.

10/10 for me as well. Best designer release of 2023. Amazing value for money

Thanks for another amazing review, Aaron! Cheers from Brazil!

Blind bought it after this review knowing that Aaron and I love the same a types of fragrances and I was not disappointed. Definitely up there as some of the better designer fragrances

I watched your review, and loved the detail, the accords. I like what you have described. Because of this i have just purchased a bottle. Than you Aaron

Aaron, I started my fragrance journey recently and while there are a lot of great content creators, you are in a league of your own

I just bought it yesterday. 10/10 for me. I’m a fan of incense note and this bottle gives everything I want! 🖤

How about "Reverie" refers to a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream or a state of abstracted musing. In the context of a cologne name, it could imply a dreamy or contemplative fragrance experience.

I love this so much, it really impressed me and I love it on my husband! I enjoy your reviews almost as much as nice fragrances, thank you Aaron!

Been a few months since I was last here Aaron, but i saw this and came straight here to see if you had a breakdown before I blind buy. You're the best bro I'm gonna pick it up🙂

Sounds lovely Aaron I must try it

Wow. A flanker that doesn’t smell like all the previous ones! I smelled this the other day and it’s on my buy list for sure. I love dark, incense type scents that don’t smell super sweet and boring like all other designers now days.

Love this fragrance, great review

I’m going to have to check this one out!

I just got it and love it thank to you and your show 👍

Excellent review. Blessings.

Oh wow 10!!! Very educational video again...🦄❤

This one is so good. It's unbeleavable. It's better than most niche perfumes I've tested for such a low price. Hope they don't discontinue it. Thinking about buying another bottle just in case.

Thanks, Aaron! I'm definitely picking this one up! Great review.

Serious perfumery lesson on this episode! Loved it haha. Gonna give this one a blind buy as well I reckon

Hey Aaron, fan of your content. Do you also ship frangrances tu the US?

I seldom think to myself “I must buy this” when sampling a fragrance but had that feeling & thought upon first time wearing this, also garnered me a compliment so there is that. Looking to cop a bottle of it soon. Amazing for people who like incense and woody scents.

Can you please do Triumph of Bacchus next?

Just managed to nab a 100ml bottle of this for £50 on eBay. Smells quite close to Sauvage Elixir. Great review as usual, sir.

Another awesome review, keep up the good work. Can’t wait to some of your fragrances on the restock. Learning so much from you. Thank you 🙏 God bless

Great vid

Allo Arran luv the vids an the best education out there. I started my collection this Xmas with Gurlaine Heritage, Deagalev. Clive Christian, C,. Do you know of a House that has a fragrance with these characteristics. Cherry, Cognac,Rum, Tobacco, Amber an smoldery woods.??? Along with other ingredients.???

Please review initio paragon soon!

Hey Aaron, any chance u'll be reviewing ysl babycat anytime soon?

I wear this in hot Australia summer heat daytime and i get compliments. Seasons mean jackshit to me when it comes to ANY fragrance, i still get compliments in 35c weather with stuff like tobacco vanille or all the elixirs especially Sauvage Elixir.

This is a great fragrance. I find they got the balance right compared to other elixers that are just to sweet.

Can’t recommend this fragrance enough, Lovely for autumn and winter, Hugo Boss really surprised me as I felt everything but their original release was lackluster but I’ve had the bottled elixir for around a month now and it’s great! just got a JPG le male Elixir for my birthday so I’m switching between the 2 this month😂

Less than 10 seconds in into sampling this on my skin and I decided to buy a 100ml bottle of it. One of my new favourites.

Aaron please try and review Guerlain Tobacco Honey if you get a chance 😻

Fragances always remind me of names from video games like Final Fantasy, yes elixir. Other's like that are tonic, tincture, potion, ether (maybe for something super bold), remedy, ambrosia, and others. Elixir does seem overused but is somewhat defined.

Wooh!! finally I was begging for this one to be added to the batch of fragrances you reviewed on FRAG-MENTAL's channel.

Amazing fragrance.

100% agree. Underrated gem. Not a Boss fragrance fan but the Elixir is outstanding!

I tried this on a sample a while back and wasn’t too sure. Then came back to it couple weeks later gave it another try and realised it was actually really good and snapped up a bottle on Black Friday discount. Seem to be selling out at a lot of places and getting restocked

Got the boss elixir for free from my cousin's perfumery and I love it. It's very strong, aromatic, masculine, high quality and unique. Used it yesterday on the way to the doctor and everyone in the waiting room tried to smell me literally 😅

Not only that but it's a beer company, they aren't making competing products with Hugo Boss. I know in Japan there's a Boss Coffee, they even sell it in the US now... it appears they cannot be touched, though.

Great video, Aaron! I suppose any substitute terms for "Elixir" would depend on the context/direction of the new creation. For example, "Dark" or "Noir" if the flanker goes in the said direction compared to the original, "Concentrated"/Concentre(e) if the flanker's concentration is higher than the original's, and so forth. Needless to say, if the flanker is, say, >50% different than the original, perhaps classifying it as a "flanker" would be meaningless, to say the least.

Thanks for this one I blind bought it for £66 100ml , great stuff for the price

Wow, a 10? CARAMBA! I must get sample to try 🤩

You could change elixir for nectar if you wish.

Instead of Elixir, how about something using the word Essence? So instead of Onyx/Onyx extreme, you could do... Essence of Onyx. It sounds mysterious, lavish, and makes the buyer want to know more!

Love the irony of seeing this show up in my feed today as I bought it today.... I tested it yesterday and couldn't resist. It genuinely blew me away. It made me think of grand soir and encens suave. The smell on clothing the next day is intoxicating. It wasn't at all what I was expecting. It's summer here in NZ, I try not to buy out-of-season frags but I just had to.

If Aaron by Far the best fragrance specialist on KZfaq gives it a 10 out of 10 it should be a blind buy 100%!! I was considering Jean Paul Gaultier Elixir but I think this should be the next purchase now.

Aron please do a le male elixir review

I’ve been around the fragrance game before anyone started a KZfaq channel, if you are a collector, I would recommend you buy this even if you don’t like it, it will eventually get discontinued and you will make money on it.

This scent is nice.

Good stuff.

Would you rather the elixir or Boss Bottled Oud?

I think it is a solid release. I love the parfum version from last year and boss bottled oud

Thanks. Here's so advice to men as someone who has spent a fortune (over 200 bottles) on scents just because it's fun. At the end of the day, women don't want you smelling like vanilla and other gourmand scents. If you are looking for compliments, anything fresh with some masculine woody undertones can't be beat. This is why Creed is so popular. Light, fresh with masculine, woody undertones. Something about smelling clean and fresh signals to women, okay this guy takes care of himself. It's fine if you love scents as a hobby but at end of day if you are trying to smell good around other people, something light, fresh, and a little musky which then mixes with your own scent and pheromones is always a winner. I also find the heavier scents actually put me in a worst mood. Really affects me as I have been more aware. But when I spray something light, fresh and airy I am super confident and optimistic. Have a great day everyone!

Concentree followed by the oil number

Instead of elixir I like the name Tonique because tonics are so supposed to make you happy and revitalized which is exactly how I feel when I wear Aaron's fragrances . Imagine Gaupo Tonique

I think you should attempt another Willy Wonka inspired creation to replace the now discontunied Forbidden.

Your educational videos are top notch Aaron. You weren't babbling. I actually learned something about how oils work and mix 👍

Can you do Ralph’s club elixir next?

Review of Amouage Jubilation 40 please !!

Hi Aron can you review Tomavicci Zenobia extrait de parfum?

Dry down reminded me D&G one Royal night.

I love boss bottled elixir! I come home and smell it at least a couple times a week. Fam ears big af tho!

This is so over my head but I enjoy it. Lol.

Could you review Montale Oud Tobacco?

It's a definite banger.

What about Boss Bottled Extrait De Parfum?

sampled this recently and COULD NOT stop smelling my wrist throughout the day. Definitely bottle worthy for me, and I only have a few on that list currently

Super impresed. Niche qualité done by a designer.

I completely adore this boss bottle elixir, espcially for the richness of the notes for the money you spend for it. I Just got it in today, ironically when you making the video. I had a man stop in his tracks just to ask me what I was wearing. I don't regert it, worth every penny.

Boss Bottled Elixir is my favorite designer release of 2023 by far and absolutely the best Hugo Boss fragrance I've ever smelled. Absolutely stunning fragrance.

i love benzoin colognes

My next fragrance then I take a break from purchasing any more for at least 3 months. Cheers all much love.

I would LOVE to have you use me for your fragrance testing!! 4 different fragrances on each arm. Sign me up

WHIPPING THROUGH THE BASEEEE

i just want some ATH IN THE USA😭😭🛐🛐🛐Or a Discovery set or something !

Really like this one. I picked up a 100ml bottle for £75 during Black Friday and it’s a lovely fragrance. Reminds me slightly of Amouage Interlude. But it lasts a long time and is perfect for the colder months.

My lord your hair is healthy and gorgeous brother!

ADDED TO CART.

Never really been drawn to the boss line of fragrances until the elixir... oh my!! I've never been so heavily impacted by a scent at the first spray in the store like this one... I own many fragrances and this is by far my favourite! I'm really looking forward to wearing the hell out of it love it!! 🤗❤️

I think it’s a nicer oud wood

What season for this?

Two month after launching boss elixir was reformulated

hm, i need to give this a chance, i've been ignoring boss by default, dismissing it as cheap and 1D, perhaps undeservingly so..

I just treated myself to a Christmas present.. this is beautiful I’m just gutted I didn’t buy the 100ml now.. but I do own so many fragrances that this will be fine. You’re reviewing is second to none Mr Hughes..

You were ahead of the curve. Why change now except to just get away from it (which I believe that's what you're thinking)?

Best clone ?

100% agree with the boredom of “Elixir”. Go ahead and CHANGE it for new releases. It’d be awesome. Cheers

Stick with the names you gave your creations. For future fragrances if a flanker is done then come up with a good name then.

Ok , now I want Aaron Terence Hughes to voice Siri 👍🏻

Why in the air it resemble to one million lucky? May be just me.

Elixir is boring you are right. Try 'Aether'. I think it is short like the word 'Elixir', but shows the strength

❤

Aaron is a boss 😄

A 10 IT’S A10 !!! He Said IT’S A 10✅ now I gotta buy a back up bottle before it flys off the shelves! I too agree 100% it’s an 11 in my book. Today I’m wearing a combo of gisada ambassador layered with Mutamayez by Swiss Arabian 🤷🏼‍♂️

I loved it on paper and bought it immediately. After wearing in for a night out, i cant stand it. It was so sweet on the strip, i almost got a cola vibe. On my skin...it smells terrible, no sweetness, just annoying. I might hate labdanum?
