About this deal

Its charm lies in the fact that it leans towards a synthetic and woody profile. With a notable presence of Bergamot in the top notes, it sets the stage for a fresh and zesty introduction. The scent then evolves, revealing a slightly spicy and green heart, maintaining an interesting balance without overpowering the wearer. The creamy undertones provide a soft, comforting finish that will pleasantly surprise you. Let me point out that Fragrantica makes each and every member/reviewer confirm the following text before posting the review: Edit: To clarify, when you are presenting a review of a product and you were given the product *specifically with the understanding that you have an audience and you are going to review it*, that is when ethics require you to disclose that fact.

I Don't Know What was created as fragrance enhancer with transparent radiance that gives any perfume a certain, as the French say, “Je ne sais quoi” (I don't know what). We love it for that but it's so much more, including one of the top selling perfumes in the DS & Durga collection. Worn alone or layered, this one is a hit. From the brand: So a little bit of honesty regarding their ties to the companies/perfumes they praise is needed. I think? maybe I am too naive? I can't believe this article is posted on one of the largest perfume community online...I am at a loss of words. This then also confirms the durability! At cold temperatures 8-10, when it is warm even more hours! And yes they are lying to you. Don't think they aren't. I use to think that till I saw different. This is where the whole "Simping" name comes from. People are willing to do anything to get those views and don't really care about their audience and not use them or treat them as boy or girl toys. So if you like entertainment that is one thing..but if your costing people their money be upfront and honest about it. Here's the thing though, they know "Simping" works. The question is could you see your kid "Simping" just to make end's meet. I don't know, I think there is a fine line..but that is just me. I rather see someone succeed because of how valuable the person and their mind is and what they can add to the art of perfumery or anything else for that matter.

I also strongly believe that if a reviewer has been paid for a review, they should make that very clear. While I do think it’s possible for a reviewer to be upfront about their feelings surrounding a perfume even if they’ve been paid to talk about it, I can understand why an audience member would want to skip watching or reading what is essentially an advertisement. Maybe it’s just me but have you ever bought a designer labelled item (clothes, trainers, accessories etc) from a charity shop and known that it would have retailed for hundreds of pounds?

Alcohol denat., parfum (fragrance), aqua (water), alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl alcohol, benzl benzoate, benzyl salicylate, citral, citro- nellol, eugenol, farnesol, geraniol, isoeugenol, limonene, linalool jarroditshallbe - great point! I think part of the uproar about getting anything for free in perfume is that we as an audience are looking for a way to easily distinguish "content that is worth our time" from "content that isn't." I understand and empathize with that need because there is SO MUCH content about perfume out there to sift through. Whether or not I expressed it well in my article, I do think part of my motivation for writing was to say, "We all have to find ways to navigate the great wall of content that is available, and if you're a person who sees the act of receiving something for free as a method, that's ok -- but to me, I'm most concerned with the perceived quality of the review. Was I informed, entertained, or did I come away with something I didn't have before watching/reading?" Not so with this fragrance, at least for me. It's woody, warm, fresh, earthy, dark, tart yet soft, almost a bit pungent and minimally sweet. But he is anything but weak in this. Immediately after spraying it on, it leaves an oily film like I usually only knew it from Profumum Roma, which speaks for a quite high percentage of scented oils for me! Must fragrance influencers have YouTube channels. More views more money. More views more adds >>MO MONEY!

While the perfume’s longevity is commendable, the sillage isn't as prominent. This makes it a great choice for those who prefer a more personal, intimate scent rather than one that announces their arrival from a distance. This might also be the reason why it's more appealing to a slightly older demographic, who often seek fragrances that aren't too loud.

But with a lot of Youtube reviewers, it doesn't even matter about the delusions of grandiosity there is, if the fragrance is bad and they are wasting people's money and if they are not disclosing. At this point they just want the views and I don't think they really care about their audience. You have to cut through some serious moral character to do a lot of this "Simping." Some would disagree. If they really cared about real change that benefits the community they would buy the fragrances themselves and not be influenced by who's offering them the most free products and how high of a status they are going to move up in youtube and the fragrance community. Or that they are influenced with those numbers to sell there extremely expensive, almost unreachable over priced products. Some of their products are really good..but most are overpriced. But that's the freedom of choice. You don't have to buy it nor support them.And trust me when I say if you don't think they will do anything to keep their cash cow or popularity going they will. I've seen it. Fight even teeth and nail deceiving others to keep youtube chanels and algorithims going. Some will go as far as to even buy views. People eventually become just numbers..it's no longer about the art of it and the community..your too influenced by popularity and greed at this point and will sell your body, soul, anything to get it. We have predetermined some of them to be “shills” if they talk about one house for too long; if they don’t reveal the precise nature of their interactions with a brand; if they don’t publicly sign-on to some reviewers’ code of ethics. And in my experience, I am yet to see one of these "influencers" making collections out of their freebie bottles disliking a fragrance, really, they like 100% and in off chance they don't, you can't see that in their posts, they just avoid negative things to say and dodge by word play, while having the audacity to show off without any useful information on perfumery, notes, fragrances themselves but rather with just a stupid music with their stupid faces making stupid reactions and showing a shelf of hundreds of bottles.
