For me it does have a resemblance to Percival. This is clean and fresh with a touch of creaminess/sweetness in the base. Extremely mass appealing, this would be suitable for all-year use. I do have to say though, it's probably the worst performing fragrance from ATH. That doesn't mean to say it's bad, but don't expect it to perform like the rest of his fragrances (understandable given it's a fresh fragrance). It has pretty moderate projection throughout, I get a solid 6-7 hours out of this. This is a good versatile fragrance to have in the collection though it's maybe a little pricey for what it is. If it were £60 - £70 for 50ml then I'd absolutely buy a full bottle of this, but in my opinion £125 is just far too expensive for this particular fragrance.

One of my favourites from Aaron Terence Hughes. It smells like a blend of ATH's Daddy and Santal Extreme so if you own those already, you might find this one to be redundant. I own lots of his fragrances now and I've noticed that many of them share a very similar dry down. I don't really detect a booziness from Notorious, it's fruity with a strong tonka background - it smells delicious and addictive. As you would expect, longevity and sillage is excellent.

I was really very surprised at how gourmand this one is. The most prominent notes in this one are vanilla and almond, with a hint of spice in the background, probably coming from the nutmeg. A simple (and maybe a slightly lazy) comparison to make would be to PdM's Pegasus. No, they don't smell exactly alike. But to give you a very rough idea, imagine Pegasus without the metallic heliotrope note, increase the vanilla and increase the sweetness then you might have clearer picture of how Santal Extreme smells. It's not too dissimilar to the very far dry down of Pegasus but with added vanillic sweetness. 'Sugared almond' is the perfect descriptor.

I like this one, it's pleasant. It very sweet and powdery and it does project quite a lot (as with most ATH fragrances). It's completely unisex. If sweet almond based fragrances are something you like, definitely check out Santal Extreme.

Most of the reviews hit the nail on the head with this one. Incredibly buttery and creamy, a tiny bit sweet, but most of all, it's really smooth. Absolutely none of the 'lipstick' or 'make-up' vibe that you get with the Dior Homme line is found in ATH's Homme. Actually, I don't really think they have many similarities in the way they smell despite sharing many notes with each other.

I really like Homme, but it's maybe lacking something to make it really catch my attention. I feel like a leather note in the base might give this a bit more dimension. Of course, with ATH fragrances you know you're getting out-of-this-world longevity and a good amount of sillage, and there's no exception here.

I'm still debating whether or not to get a full bottle of Homme. I would say at the moment I'm leaning towards no as it's just lacking a little something to give it an edge.

EDIT: The more I'm wearing this, the more and more I'm liking it and edging closer towards buying a full bottle. Somebody below mentioned that it smells like clean clothes and I understand what they mean. Whilst I'm not necessarily reminded of fresh laundry, it does smell very clean in the air; I didn't really know what his 'clean skin accord' was but I'm really starting to pick up on it the more I wear Homme - I think it might be ISO E Super. Despite its name, I think any gender can comfortably pull this off. I think Homme is a versatile fragrance and would be great choice for everyday use because of it's inoffensive nature (providing that it's not a hot day!).

I do still feel this is lacking something to make it a really special fragrance and at the price of £125 for 50ml, that's perhaps a little steep for what I'd consider to be an everyday fragrance. Of course that's completely subjective, and if you're fine with dropping £100+ on a fragrance you'll wear everyday then this might be one that you want to consider. If this were around £80 then it would be a no-brainer for me, but maybe it's a bit too pricey for what it is.

EDIT 2: I ended up buying a full bottle! I've fully fallen in love with it over time and I appreciate it for what it was designed to do. After a while it begins to wear almost like a second skin - it's my go-to fragrance for the moment. My favourite so far from the ATH line.

This is my first time delving into the Aaron Terence Hughes line and quite often I hear Aaron describe his fragrances as "massively projecting" and long lasting. He certainly isn't kidding about the longevity - this easily lasts 15 - 16 hours on my skin. Whilst the projection isn't massive, it leaves a lovely trail. For me, I think the projection is spot on for a fragrance of this type. I wouldn't want this to shout and fill a room.

Having never tried other ATH fragrances, I can't say whether this is similar to other fragrances in his line, but I think this is a unique creation. I certainly don't having anything in my collection that smells like this, and I can't say I've tried anything that it reminds me of. I think this is a beautiful fragrance and I'm pleased to own it. I find it to have a fairly dominant leather note, with a light smokiness in the background, and a touch of sweetness. I agree with the other review here, this is definitely base heavy. I do detect the faintest hint of lemon in the first 15 seconds of application, but it very quickly disappears.

I'm keen to dig into ATH's other offerings because I'm a big fan of Smoulder. A fantastic release that I can't wait to wear more of in the colder months.
