I legit did 😅

I’m So pleased you got the reference 🦄

missing the Yakkety Sax background music tho 🤣

Benny Hill, Hahahah, that's going way back. Used to live that show.

Thank you

oh grow up 😉

What I absolutely love about it and what gives it that sense of class and high end designer feel to me is the way that it evolves and the way how its base after the drydown is a very deep, musky almost like sandalwoody wet tobacco kind of smell. I don't see it as being very simple to my untrained nose. It smells to me like it starts with a boozy citrussy sweetness and sort of evolves down into a very mature, deep, rich smell. I'd say the base has an almost leathery kind of tobacco smell, I'm guessing the patchouli my mind is registering as musky leather+tobacco. Idk, I think it's classy and deep. It gets high on the citrussy note for awhile but also has that tobacco-y patchouli+leather note in spades. I'd consider it a safe blind buy for night or fall+winter. Actually this could probably work real well for summer nights.

I thought it was funny to. Which is why I chose to leave the fragrance bottle struggle and drama in

@@AaronTerenceHughes I just had the exact same experience with it too. They really should have put a cap on top.

There's actually a handful of others like that, Man in Black which is my absolute favourite has this weirdly cheap looking and feeling twist cap, and Terre d'Hermes using those nice twist caps. I was so confused by my Terre d'Hermes Vetiver Intense when I first got it thankfully didn't break it for the same reason.

I am learning how to be now. It’s just another skill I’ve learnt

Thank you for watching

George, the Fragrance Apprentice! 🤣

Yes he does. He has been editing my work and doing the graphics for over a year. He was my first member of staff.

I think it's hard to explain it to people as someone who's not a pro at it because I like most other people tend to have weird ways of the brain registering things as different smells depending on what and how it's blended. It's kinda like how your human brain and receptor sites do not actually have a physical way to perceive blue+red and so your brain pretty much makes up a completely invented colour that doesn't exist in real life, magenta. Which is why magenta and cyan are so used for either cyberpunk or supernatural "the realm of chaos in the immaterium" kind of themes because neither cyan nor magenta actually exists. My brain interpreted the patchouli and leather of this fragrance as a deep, rich, wet tobacco. It makes it tough reading reviewers sometimes because their brain's interpretation of certain blends can come off as pretty weird in comparison to reading the notes (though in honesty so many colognes end up basically just being like two or three random prominent notes out of 12 so it smells completely different than you imagined, case in point The One Luminous Night mostly smells like dates and not the other ingredients)

Is it more for winter?

@@carlito7863 fall/Winter. It’s a strong scent

Yet to try Cologne. The rest are sooo bad.

I love tiramisu

I am shocked at how cheap this is. I got a sample and I automatically assumed that it was a probably like $90 to $120 USD but was incredulous to discover it on ebay for a third the cost. It does not smell cheap at all. Frankly in my opinion many Diors smell pretty cheap (also weirdly feminine) and there's certain designer or niche colognes I find a bit overpriced, but every once in awhile you find a really good one that's basically "worth more" to me. Signature is one of them. This really should've cost $70 a bottle. Idk how the ingredients work out and don't have Aaron Hughes' professional artistic nose for it, maybe there's some kind of ultra rare ingredients in some designer or niche scents that price them out, but in terms of pure elegance and quality this hits like a high end designer fragrance.

That’s funny

I love Ferraragamo pour homme

What longevity do you have with and for what season and what occasion? Thank you

🤣

Actually I do like it but not at high concentrations. At low concentrations it’s very nice with citrus. I’ve been working with pink pepper. I also thought dangerous goods unicorn couldn’t have it used as he was allergic. But turns out he can’t eat it but can ware it

@@AaronTerenceHughes I don't like Pink Pepper in high concentration too😅 it obliterate other notes.

@@chupapi630 very true. At small does it’s actually lovely.

what batch is yours? mine doesnt lat 2 hours, i have a 2022 batch

@@sheshewantit45 2019

@@sherifhussein9193 that explains it all haha

Lol right.

Club black reminds me of a tamed version of “replica by the fire place”

@@JohnDoe-rr8wy i haven't tryed this one yet, but for me the Mercedes is one of the best vanilla at a entry level pricepoint.

I agree... for fun consider stopping by a local sephora & sniff “by the fire place.” You would not be disappointed. Its VERY smokey with a STRONG velvet vanilla .I recommend a sniff

@@JohnDoe-rr8wy i will, thanks 😁!!!

I can assure you I will not!

@@AaronTerenceHughes 😂😂 please don't! I don't want to unsubscribe 😂

Is that an actual fragrance name?!?! That’s mental

@@AaronTerenceHughes lmaoo 😂 yes bro it’s by Etat Libre D'orange give it a look it’s a veryyyyy nice fragrance

Suffocating is a brilliant way to describe this fragrance. Not enough naturals to lift the fragrance

I bet it’s a lot of people like us. Did you rip it off like me

@@AaronTerenceHughes yes I did and I had to fiddle around with it for another 5 minutes just to get it to spray again. I feel your pain.

@@bennyb980 Hey, so I just got my bottle today and I pretty much did the same. I've been fiddling with it for a while, with no luck. How did you get yours to work again?

@@TheEvilTwin29 try to twist the cap around to see if you can get it to align the atomizer.

@@bennyb980 Oh, you mean where the fragrance sprays out? Like get the holes to align, essentially?

The sprayer is not the best is it

Not really.

I think it is very similar not same in air. i own both and do not need both lol

Thank you. Video unicorn will be pleased his work is getting the recognition it deserves

That Can’t be good haha

Jaques Bogart- and Lapidus fragrance line both come from the same perfume company. Both are strong, but Lapidus is longer lasting

I don't really detect much coffee on this one. It's more a sweet and leathery than coffee scent IMO

@@rafaelhenck8169 did you bought a full bottle already? how was it so far?

Oh yes. That would be magical

I don’t really have a defence. I am a normal heavy headed man trying to work out a bottle of fragrance. And getting physically assaulted bully it in the process. 😂

@@AaronTerenceHughes Aaron, the heavy handed fragrance bully!

Oh dear. That’s not good at all
