So I had no clue how influencers were paid until I watched her video a few months ago. It was very helpful to me it definitely made me research a lot more and be more picky with who I watched and subscribe to. I saw a hair RU-vidr recommending like six products every time you wash your hair the products were over $300 I commented and noticed she was hiding all comments that were even a little negative. I went back and loo at all her comments they were all just praising her that was a red flag for me.
Claire is seeing it from a consumer's perspective whereas you are seeing from a brand's perspective. The two groups care about different things - customers care about authenticity and brands care about sales and profit. She is educating the general audience about what to look out for so that they don't fall for the reviews as always being genuine, cz customers do believe them, especially if they are new to fragrance social media. So, she is questioning the morality of it, not evaluating it as a marketing strategy. Sure it's up to the customer to make their decisions, but it's also not bad to call out brands for the sneaky things they do such as marking up prices to an insane amount just for the name and not better quality. Many people think a higher price comes with higher quality.
33:35 it's a bad thing because it gives more motivation for an "influencer" to try to sell you the perfume / hype it up without expressly labeling the video as a "paid promotion"
I still see fragrances getting recommended in top 10 videos but have reformulations over the years. Influencers have the OG bottles and shouldn't recommend fragrances until they test out newer batches. That would save people money and disappointments
Airport. I totally get what she is saying. I think she is doing a great job of educating the average person of how these things work, so they can make their OWN educated choices, and I appreciate that. She certainly was thorough! I want some influencers to discuss why fragrance prices have escalated so quickly (in the past year especially). I am sure there are various reasons. Many are turning to more affordable middle eastern fragrances, which, I eventually expect those prices to jump too. $ is the nature of the beast, in the end.
Inflation, logistics, and ingredients (basically all supply / inflation-related issues). On top of that, many brands set themselves apart by being expensive.
I seen this pop up here and there. I wouldn't have watched her video if it wasn't for you. These reactions are great. I generally take everything with a grain of salt so when I subscribe to anyone its mostly for insight or entertainment. And I never trust anyone on this platform who isn't transparent.
I really enjoyed watching this video & taking in your perspectives. Long videos may not get as much traction but I personally find these very interesting
I agree with you. Thanks for the video. Anything that doesn't bother others is good for an airport :-) You were really nice. I like Claire. I've been watching her for a long time, but It seems to me that she is really against earning money and doesn't understand how business actually works. For her, it's just a hobby, so everything else is biased. Also, it's not a problem to watch only youtubers that have perfumes just as a hobby 🤷♀️
@24:23 Influencers don’t move the needle? That’s BS right there brother. I don’t know how many times a fragrance reviewer has reviewed a “cheapie” and said cheapie after review has jumped in price astonishingly. Hawass ice? Nitro red? Anyone???
Yes, what I was referring to was sending a fragrance to a single influencer and expecting that there would be a spike in sales. If everyone talks about scents, it's something different. It's just a numbers game.
I'm not him, but that's probably family business and we should steer clear of it. Seems like a very private thing that is between them.I say that respectfully.
Saw 5 mins of her video last night and it was too long. Less is more and hating on everyone slows your growth. BDC Parfum for the airport. Easy to wear and very relaxing
Navitus is from Redolessence YT channel....and any fragrance for the airport is fine, whatever I happen to travel with, but only one or two sprays so you don't kill everyone around you 😂😂
Hi, should I buy perfume oil dupes? Like oilperfumery etc. if yes which ones? The point is budget and still the quality. What would you recommend in terms of iris Leather like Armani Cuir Zezuro? Or Gucci Guilty Absolute, Halfeti Leather, Ombre Leather? Stuff like Iris Powder Mr. Thompson, Dior homme intense, Valentino Uomo Intense? Kind regards
so I did some digging on those perfume oil dupes you were asking about, and it's kind of a mixed bag from what I could find. Some people seem pretty happy with the ones they got, like they captured the vibe of the expensive originals without breaking the bank. But others had some real horror stories - never got their orders, or the scents smelled nothing like what they were supposed to be duping. As for those specific fancy colognes you mentioned, like Ombre Leather and the Armani ones, there wasn't a ton of detailed info out there. A couple of comments here and there about people finding local dupes or getting them from that Oil Perfumery site, but no real in-depth reviews. Long story short, it's a bit of a gamble if you go the dupe route. Could pay off and save you some serious cash, or it could be a total bust. Just depends how much you're willing to risk, my friend.
@@ScentsWithBenefits Thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot, I've got an oil of Halfeti leather and it has like 55% resemblance if it makes sense, it's soapy and more fruity with a weak leather, so I think it's a no. I am in some sense a perfectionist so it's against my nature to buy dupes, I asked about similar fragrances to those and those notes, not dupes, but similar, I have bought Hermes and Gucci Guilty Absolute on eBay for cheap, so I'd rather buy Givenchy Gentlemen or Valentino for £50 rather than Dior homme Parfum that must be great but costs 4 times more. So what do you think would come close to forementioned type of fragnances? Thank you, hope I didn't bother you much. I wish you and your brother peace and love. Cheers from Georgia Btw as fragrance talks might get boring sometimes do you know about Saint Grigol Peradze as you are from Poland.
And as my tendency to go towards deep subjects- perfectionism is an interesting "desire" some might say and no fragrances are eterna so it further underlines what is eternal and what matters, I'm still not convinced it isn't an extra thing in life. But my attitude after 3 months from getting into fragrances - I know what I like, I won't think, I won't spend too much, just get what I like in a drawer and be cool with a nice accessory. This comment was more for myself to manage thoughts, but thanks.
