    I love how you included the whole “sex scam” category to this and I cannot agree more! I have fragrances that I love but my wife isn’t too crazy about and ones that RUclipsrs bash because they’re too sweet but my wife looooves them. I wear what I wear because I love them but the whole category of drive her crazy and all that is very misleading to younger men looking for their first fragrance. Also couldn’t agree more about how the ones saying this are very average looking guys. I’m no Johnny Depp or Channing Tatum myself but let’s be honest, most RUclipsrs or fragcom reviewers whatever you want to say are not all that to say the least. Thank you for touching on that sir

      True. My sense is that we can find a lot of scents nice, but not necessarily attractive. Like, is a person attracted to flowers or woods or spices? No right? Then why would one be attracted to a person wearing it? I'm not talking about being attracted because someone smells nice/clean/fresh etc. I'm talking about primal sexual attraction. And I think that can only happen with animalic notes like musk, ambergris and indolic notes like Jasmine, tuberose etc.

    I can't stand channels that review niche fragrances and justify a £300-plus price point because it smells good. I have no problem buying something expensive as a treat, but there's a limit, and there's just too much BS involved. Dan, once again, you are speaking the truth.

    Thank you for being so honest and for bringing facts about the irrational and unethical marketing strategy of some reviewers. I am sure there is no such thing as a pant dropper perfume and many other scamming terminologies. Gents, please wake up and follow up your taste and instincts of what you like in perfumes. We are all different so are the women out there. Do not fall into the trap of the reviewers. Mainly use them for info if necessary but, maintain your choices at all times.

    Most niche houses don’t even produce their own stuff. They literally go to the big firms to make juice for them and put it in a fancy bottle. Plus the same perfumer making designer frags make niche. So in my mind it’s really only the designers and then a slight step up to luxury brands. The true niche brands are what we typically call indie in my opinion

  • @thewaywelive2775
    @thewaywelive2775 11 месяцев назад +1

    I think it's important to consider that for designer brands their perfumes are not their main means of income. If a Mercedes fragrance fails they at least have their car sales to fall back on, but if a niche fragrance fails it's a lot more damaging, so I can't be mad at niche houses for charging more. There're also some materials that are really expensive with cheap counterparts that doesn't smell exactly the same, but they get you in the ballpark. So I would argue that there actually is something called niche quality. Just think synthetic oud vs real oud.

    I firstly do not have the budget to buy high end niche/designer frags. I watch a couple of frag channels and as much as they push the higher priced frags, I`d happily go with a decent clone at a fraction of the price. Even ebay are ridiculous at hiking up the prices or very popular frags /clones.

    On the "s3x scam" topic, it's true, fragrances won't make any woman want you, BUT, here's why I think it's a thing to invest in: if a girl finds you interesting in some way, smelling amazing (in case he likes your fragrance) really helps to make it something more special AND maybe gives her something to comment on and start a conversation.

      Many don’t bother to use these real Oud: higher quality scents may not even be crowd pleasing or pleasant. I’ve tested out real Oud scents of $2000 and nope nope, horse shit. So they need to mix with synths. Mind you, if you want honest and better quality Oud or pure wood, go to the Middle East. That being said, you’ll see how the next generation will react to perfumes. Remember how heavy the 80s were, mid 90s and 2000s became so minimalistic. The next generation will hate oud n perhaps choose Ozonic scents or these middle eastern regular houses may gain influence. It’s happening already. The world is changing. These cat piss esoteric niche houses are struggling more than you’d think

    They hold up a bottle and only used 2 mils? Try 2 sprays. It's something I've noticed in all these videos. My signature cologne has been discontinued and I've been looking into what's new, what's out there, and primarily what's common so I don't smell like everyone else. My smell is still coming back after having COVID 2.5 years ago so I have to get an idea of what some stuff smells like because I don't smell 100% accurately still. I have a fiancee so I don't really care about attracting other women with my scent. If I get compliments, cool. If I don't, whatever. I'll get laid either way. I know I've always smelled great and I'm just looking for the next go-to bottle for daily wear. I have other bottles that I might use in winter, for formal occasions, or just something that's going to be outside and smell nice in the heat. It is easy to fall into the hype and what-not. But I'm not out here buying every "must have" bottle these influencers are peddling.

  • @Hannah_BananaStand
    @Hannah_BananaStand Месяц назад

    It is getting very annoying how they are all putting the prices up to ridiculous degrees, I think due to the bump the industry from covid lockdowns and tiktok. I have my favourite niche houses but there are several who, I am not at all convinced, are using any better ingredients than designer. For example Xerjoff Dama Bianca, which sells for $400 AUD for 100ml, smells IDENTICAL to the 90s body spray Impulse Vanilla, which used to cost $5. No one can convince me that Dama Bianca is costly to make. The mark up in perfume is just as absurd as the mark up on designer hand bags. ( i.e $57 Dior bags being sold for $4000)

    So, in your view the fragrance price should be related to the price of their ingredients (otherwise it’s a scam). It’s like saying a Picasso is worth nothing because Pablo Picasso used cheap paint. Fragrance is art and culture, so your comments on topic (price of materials) do not make too make sense.

    Hi Mr. Smelly, firstly - I'm English, I was born in London. As a viewer of your channel and some of the other fragrance channels. Whatever, fragrance - a RUclipsr says is nice. I would've thought that all the viewers would use some common sense insofar as trying before they buy a full bottle of juice. I have no idea about this note or that note - I pop down to the stores and give it a try, yes, I have a lot of fun testing out whatever fragrance it is I'm interested in. As I normally stop any ladies walking past and ask what they think of the fragrance on my skin and at times, I'd have a few ladies around me and we'd start talking about fragrances that maybe their husband or boyfriend might like. I normally go by the ladies body language if I ask her, her opinion as not every lady what's some stranger stopping them in Harrods or Selfridges or Harvey Nichols and asking what she thinks of this or that. I'm rather lucky that I was a cat in another life. So I'm mischievous and playful most of the time. And I like having a laugh. I follow a few simple rules, be perlite to everyone and look people in the eyes when you speak to them - decorum costs nothing. Now, if a guy wants to be noticed. It's very simple - he has to keep himself in some kind of shape, wear clean well fitted clothes believe in himself. If a guy was to go out with a group of his female friends. Then he'd be noticed by all the other ladies in the club. Myself - I hang out with a few different groups of ladies and I always get noticed. I hope that doesn't sound like I'm being big headed. Any man can get any lady. But he has to go about it the right way.

I do think there needs to be more accountability with Patreon, and I think it should be addressed. I am in no way throwing anyone under the proverbial bus, but I will say that every RUclips influencer that I have ever supported through Patreon, did not provide what they said that they would for Patreon supporters.
      I also take into account that these individuals have families and jobs, and so time may not afford them to keep up on these obligations. In that case, they should remove the promises and just state that the money given will be used to grow the channel through fragrances for reviewing and/or equipment upgrading. I think this would be a great live chat opportunity for Dan, and it does not have to be condemning or condensing, but just an honest look at what is really being provided with what is being brought in.

I absorbed 10% of their game and the other 90% i disregarded. The 10% i kept are, impeccable hygiene!! White teeth, clean skin, nice haircut, fresh breath, fashionable but not over the top, charisma, stimulating conversation, kindness, and after you have displayed all these traits to a woman and you see that she is interested and clearly in to you!!! Kindly tell her you enjoyed talking with her and bid her a good evening and leave the building. Thats that 10% game i used from some prolific pimps and players!! Fragrance is just a small piece but to get women its going to take much more to get them and retain them.

      You're right, apparently my young son has women falling all over him, but he's cute, looks after himself, goes out clean and smart (without obvious brand name clothing) and yes, he gets women asking what fragrance he's wearing. Want to know what he wears? Dior Farenheit edt, Dareej by Rasasi or Midnight Oud by Ard Al Zafaaran (cheap interlude clone). 😂
      I can tell you, as a woman, we onky ask for 3 reasons... 1. As a conversation starter 2. Because we now associate it with you and we already decided we like you or 3. We love or hate the smell and want to make sure current or future partners do or don't wear it, but if we never showed interest then a fragrance isn't going to change that.

    Brutally slaying the game! Agreed, it’s noticeable as these influencers get deeper into the game they lose touch of, well, people.
    I deleted them all after realising the fact that they’re wrong, deluded and out of touch, the fact was none of them had any reason to follow because they all have the personality of a used mop. That and the fact a reviewer with 200 followers can review it just as good or better using an iPhone, don’t fall for it.

    A certain Australian lady has used her body to promote her channel. Amazing everything Fragrance Du Bois does is fabulous …. then suddenly she releases a fragrance in conjunction with them 😂. Just about all of the big reviewers are attached to some brand or other . John Stephen who made Dan’s fragrances is an independent perfumer who will happily create you a fragrance……., it’s not bloody cheap though 😂 Everyone trying to make a living from their channels which is perfectly fine. It’s really quite easy to spot the shills …… they all review the same things days apart 😂😂

Come to think of it, how useful is it to take a credible recommendation about a fragrance without actually smelling it yourself? This is where we are and good editing, a pretty face and other influences, can bring you followers I guess. In the end trust 1 nose only.....YOURS!

    I fully agree with you. A designer like BdC edt is incredible and every bit on par with outrageously priced niche frags.
    Also, niche/indie houses like Rogue (who use pretty much all naturals) put the lie to the unequivocal "need" for jacked-prices in the name of "natural ingredients".
    -and the fact that Rogue flips the 🖕 to IFRA is a bonus.
    Yes, my Jazeel Ghala is frikking expensive, but the naturals in this frag are truly expensive to produce and one bottle will take 20 years to get through.
    ...but Aventus? Oud Wood? As if.

      What I usually find cringe is the way they demonize designer scents in the fragrance community and everyone makes a Sauvage joke and say all sorts. I’m not pinning for Sauvage or Bleu in particular but I find the emphasis too insulting and while working with non fragrance collectors regular buyers, I discovered these people don’t even know these fancy big esoteric niche names or care. You could get more compliments wearing Sauvage than wearing a $500 inner niche scent or Roja Dove. If that’s what you aim for. These designer brands have tested and sampled human opinions and pheromones and know better that you who claim something named “sarcophagus Demachi ” is the best 😅 or these urinal smelling niche perfumes. I could go on and on

    The comment about how these reviewers still have full bottles was spot on.
    They say its because they have so many fragrances, but I don't believe that. I have around a hundred fragrances and they all have pretty good dents out of them. And I dont have a day time fragrance and a night time fragrance. I spray on my fragrance before work, or on my day off I do it before I go out. But these guys talk about how they have a day fragrance, a night fragrance, and after the shower fragrance, and how they respray the ones that dont last. But yet they hardly have any used out of their bottles? Strange.

    My favorite fragrances in the past couple years came from SweDoft and Fath. Especially Le Loden by Fath.

The magic of Armani Pour Homme (the og) is long gone. Quantity won over quality.

    The best sex
    one I hear regular from a certain RUclipsr is for PDM Layton which goes:-
    Layton Will get you laid My Man🤔So Will the Detour Noir Clone I bought Just get you upstairs outside😜
    As for PDM as a brand my opinion is yes Great Scents but overpriced massively compared to others.another Scent being hammered to death at the moment is S Boy by Draco which by all accounts after checking its price here in the UK seems a bit Extortionate considering how many designer fragrances you could buy for the price of one bottle.
    Nice Omega by the way and their Patina always tends to go a brown/Red colour so it must be the Lume they use.
    As for the Scent (that to me anyway) is still the most recognisable and I still love it has to be Polo Green,Just a Scent that I still wear as it was my favourite in my teens. (Late 50’s now🙈)

    I don’t claim to watch all the male perfume you tubers out there but I do watch a number, and I don’t find that most of the ones I watch push the “women will be all over you, if you wear this’” line. Some do go on about compliment getters, and some do say which ones their wives or girlfriends seem to prefer, but the only one I’ve seen who really seems to push the sex angle is Jeremy. I agree about your other scam points but don’t see that one quite as you do. By the way, in my (woman’s) opinion the guys whose channels I check out regularly may not be Greek gods in looks but they are pleasant enough. The only one that makes my skin crawl is Jeremy.
