My Favourite 'Freshies'

Just a quick roundup of some "freshies" I've enjoyed during my time reviewing fragrances. Some of them aren't your traditional citrus freshies, but fall into a similar category.

I did not expect Red Tobacco and Herod on this list, but interesting picks 👍👍👍 looking forward to more videos 😀😉

There are youtubers reviewing perfumes and then there are Aaron T. Hughes reviews.
Just in the same way as there are regular people singing in the shower and then there was Luciano Pavarotti singing in the shower.

I feel exactly the same regarding concentration preference among the 3 Bleu de Chanels. The EDT and the Parfum are my favorites. Great vid!!

Top Freshie scents: Mancera Cedrat Boise, Hermes L'Ombre Des Merveilles, Bleu De Chanel, Nishane Hacivat and Roja Parfums Elysium. To me Red Tobacco, Herod and Halfeti are just too dark to wear in warmer months and for me to consider them a freshie.

I recently purchased Mancera's Red Tobacco. I love it!✨ Once you get past the controversially harsh opening, the dry down is smooth and sweet. Looking forward to wearing it out in the upcoming months.

Been waiting on this one! Fresh is about all I can wear without getting a headache

Belting list as usual Aaron. Can't wait to see the next Vid👍👍 I would also have included Guerlain Habit Rouge and Guerlain I'Deal Cologne. Both amazing freshies and not too expensive. Although I'Deal Cologne was discontinued about 2 years ago TBF.

Nice video ATH! Here to second the Chanel Egoiste Platinum selection. That scent is simply incredible and women will always pick up on it. I call it the "Tell me you're an executive without telling me you're an executive" fragrance :). I always pick up as many bottles as I can via things like an American Express special or whatever, I love wearing it.

Mancera RT is one of my favorite frags... looove the dry down and silage... beautifully done

[damzle]

My ATH samples came this morning and I ordered again an hr later. Insane! Love them so much. It’s amazing how much they change on skin. Wish I could order full sizes of so many 😩 decided on onyx and Luna but will defo look at buying more. Some of them I’d love as room diffusers.

I always learn something new from your insights Aaron, thank you. I also have many of your personal company frags that I adore and ALWAYS get compliments from people right away. With saying that, I would have to say that out of my entire collection (over a 100 frags) my absolute top two that I could live with til the end of days would be your ATH Tabac that blows my mind and then also RED TOBACCO from Mancera. STUNNING!!!

[phoebetsau]

Very agree with you that fragrances can smell so different on the strips and skin so I don’t blind buy fragrances anymore except yours 💜

[Josh-hrmc]

ATH I just want you to know you are by far my favorite fragrance guide. Thats my term for it. I would love to see a video on a educated review of Sauvage EDT vs EDP vs Parfum vs Elixir. If you read this anyway to get Smoulder which was limited, I didn't even know who you were then so I missed out on it.

[stephaneducroquet]

Love all of them (wore BDC EDT during the 2010s a lot) and now more Cédrat Boisé and Halfeti (really love it). I plan to pull the trigger on Gentle Fluidity Silver from MFK.

[awkwardme]

For anyone who loves Herod as a summer freshie banger, I also suggest Norne and Sova from Slumberhouse, Dior's Leather Oud, Killian's Angels' Share, and Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. KILLER in high heat situations!


I love you, Aaron, but I just had to have a little laugh.

[hklmvm]

I’m glad you mention platinum egoiste. It’s great indeed. Most reviewers always talk about the same fragrances……

[bigboyfinesse]

More of these aaron. Your top list videos are really insightful and nice.

[sharpeshootr]

Herod is amazing! Did not look at it as a freshy summer temps you think? 70-80s?

[yzthory]

I own PDM Herod love it … there are a couple you listed today I will definitely check out. Preciate’cha
