A Lovely Fresh Summer Scent

I've enjoyed Ozone, by Aaron Terence Hughes, for the last few years. It was an immediately appealling, fresh, clean, long-lasting scent. A personal favourite of mine, and especially so in Summer, I find myself reaching for this most often. Though this is by no means boozy, it really reminds me of beach holidays with a Mojito cocktail in hand, which must be that lime and mint combo.

This year's (2023) release has a slight update, with some added bergamot. The opening has that juicy burst of citrus lime, mint, and ozonic quality, swiftly followed by the coconut and mocha notes. The combination is so appealing as it settles pleasantly into these elements over the following hours. The dry down period is really helped with the ambergris. Projection and sillage are excellent for me, and many people have commented to say just how nice it is. I congratulate Aaron on this, and his relaunch, as it must have been an enormous amount of work to switch his formulations to using different chemical/raw materials suppliers.

In comparison to the previous formulation, it is very close indeed (99% maybe), but I do notice the added bergamot throughout the wearing. If you liked the formulation before, I'm certain you will enjoy it even more.

I would certainly say it works best in warmer weather, but it's still perfectly fine if it is not that warm. I can vouch for it working well in a hot nightclub. I could recommend this for anyone really. Bottom line: buy this if you are seeking a fresh, clean, juicy summer scent, with cracking performance. Love it.

Simply superb!

Writing this review for the new ozone (2023). A masculine leaning unisex summer fragrance. This fragrance has one of the best scent trails I have ever experienced with more than 8+ hours of longevity. It opens with a blast of citrus with slightly minty undertones, as the top notes fade the coconut + ambroxan in the middle really shine. The mocha isn’t really noticeable but it’s definitely there… it adds a sort of depth to the fragrance which I really love. The coconut isn’t overly sweet or cloying unlike most coconut fragrances and is absolutely superb for somebody who is a fan of coconut! As the middle notes fade the ambergris and patchouli in the base really come forward with the saltiness of the driftwood in the background. This fragrance is very heavy on the ambergris so if you are not a fan of ambergris it is not for you! It’s not your typical summer scent. Notes are: Top notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, Spearmint
Middle notes:
Ozone / Coconut / Mocha Accord / Ambroxan
Base notes:
Ethical Ambergris, White Musk, Driftwood, Patchouli. Projection: 8.5/10 (as stated earlier this fragrance has one of the best scent trails I have ever experienced not overly strong but just enough for everyone around to smell you and appreciate your scent!). Longevity: 8.8/10 (Still projects after 8+ hours of wear). Scent: 9.5/10, possibly one of my favourite fragrances of all time. Mass appeal: 7/10, I don’t really think this fragrance is mass appealing due to the unique combination of notes, I could see how some people might really dislike it. Overall: 9/10, One of the best fragrances from one of my favourite houses of all time, this is 1 of 4 Aaron Terence Hughes fragrances I own and will definitely not be my last! An absolute gem that’s very underrated!

Ozone has gotten better for me

Ozone was always "okay" for me... until now. Maybe it's the seasonal change, but for me, this didn't work in the summer. It was an automatic "product cleaner" scent. It instantly made me think of someone mopping the floors, and it was an instant nope.

But in the winter everything is different. The ozonic notes were always there. But now. I get more of the lime with a hint of coconut and they pull the fragrance in a much better direction. I actually think I'll be wearing this now.

PS. ATH fragrances are hard to get in the US, and that makes it pricier. You CAN however find 10ml bottles for roughly $55 on the gray market. And avoid eBay because those guys really like to price gouge.

From Hawaiian Beaches // a broken bottle?

I ordered this fragrance on Maxaroma just before a two-week trip to Hawaii.

Upon arriving in Hawaii, on the very first day, I went for a beach walk at 5:50 AM to watch the sunrise. I imagined what the Ozone would smell like-salty sea freshness, lovely morning air, creamy-salty driftwood, and the sweet scent of coconuts. I noticed that this was almost exactly the smell I had at that moment on the beach. Full of anticipation, I took one deep breath after another, seemingly inhaling all the air at the beach. I dreamed, I raved; about the beautiful sunrise, the olfactory overstimulation, about the Ozone of my dreams. Shortly thereafter, I found a coconut, which I struggled to open on a rock in the remaining red of the sunrise and then tasted-this gave me the coconut scent that I had previously missed during my olfactory analysis of the beach. The perfect Ozone was created.

When I returned from Hawaii after two weeks, I eagerly picked up the package from a neighbor and opened it in my bedroom. I immediately sprayed the fragrance on myself.

… it was different from what I had imagined on the beach. The driftwood and fresh sea breeze were far away at first. Instead, a strong citrus note was prominent at the beginning. Then a sweet, slightly synthetic coconut joined in. In the dry down, the fragrance went in a (still) coconutty, mocha-esque, and slightly mineral-woody direction with a small dose of amber.

Even though the fragrance did not live up to my dream of the beaches of Hawaii, it has become one of the absolute favorites in my collection. It is a true work of art that can still be worn every day and is extremely well-received by others; on the very first day I wore it, my doctor remarked how great I smelled today …only my mother cannot stand the scent (like so much of the perfume I wear), so dear Mr. Ozone stays in the wardrobe when I visit her.

The only thing that brings me little joy about the fragrance is the bottle; it occasionally leaks a bit. However, this is the only one of the three ATH bottles I own that has this problem. Therefore, I don't think this issue will occur for many- I usually rate the other bottles from the brand with an 8.

The fragrance lasts extremely long on the skin for a summer scent, like everything from dear Aaron, and projects a good meter into the air. It is not a room-filler, but in my opinion, that’s a good thing; not everything needs to be used to smoke out a wasp nest.

Anyone who finds a way to buy Ozone or another ATH fragrance should consider that Aaron also makes the scents in 10ml bottles. I would definitely recommend purchasing such a bottle, especially for Aaron's more out-there, fetishistic scents like Luna (2023).

I hope my review was able to convince one or another person to engage with Aaron Terence Hughes a bit and support his business. I wish you all a nice evening.

Best regards,
Your Emin

My Summer Fragrance 2024 and the Comparison to Ozone 2020

Finally brought to me by a friend from London, Ozone 2023 by ATH transports me from the very first spray into a world dominated by a herbaceous-refreshing breeze. That's how I feel when I come fresh from the barber on a Friday afternoon, both sides and my beard perfectly in place, ready for the weekend.

The top note starts with an invigorating blend of mint and lemon that immediately whisks you away from the stifling smog of summer in the city. This minty-lemony freshness is complemented by delicate coconut accents that give the fragrance a certain liveliness. Unlike, for example, "Torino21 | XerJoff," where the citrus feels somewhat overwhelming to me at the beginning.

In the drydown, a slight minerality comes into play for me, which, in my opinion, gives the fragrance a certain masculinity and maturity.

For me, Ozone is wearable in summer for any occasion - whether for a refreshing kick at the office or at a beach party. I think one can confidently make a blind buy here, as I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like the scent.

The sillage is really strong in the first 2-3 hours, but then decreases significantly.

-----

Thanks to a nice Parfumo member, I also got a decant of the predecessor version from 2020. Compared to Ozone 2023, Ozone 2020 is a bit softer in its overall effect. The aquatic notes are still present, but with a lower intensity, making the fragrance overall gentler. The fresh minerality that plays a central role in Ozone 2023 takes a bit of a backseat in Ozone 2020, which makes the fragrance feel somewhat sweeter to me.
