D.S. & Durga I Don't Know What Pocket Perfume 10 ml

Product Information

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. I think that instead of using word BIAS we should concentrate on GENUINE. How people get their frags for a review, i couldnt care less, but what irritates me is constant praise of an absolute sh!t of a fragrance, especially when its an ambroxan bomb or a chemical smelling mess. With all the advancements we make in industry we should be making perfumes that previous generations could only dream about, instead we take talented perfumers to create garbage and hype it on youtube. What a sad state of affairs.

We all find value in specific fragrances where others do not, and that can be because of internal factors like taste and preference, as well as external factors, like the physiological and experiential differences between us all which affect how we are able to smell and how smells press against our individual emotions.

I Don't Know What by D.S. & Durga is a perfume that undeniably stands out from the crowd. This is a perfume that neither sways too feminine nor too masculine, making it a great choice for those seeking something that defies the traditional gender-binary scents. I absolutely care about bias. Getting a sense of what people's biases are helps me gauge how helpful their opinions may be to me. It's the reason a lot of fragranticans put their note preferences and the like into their bios. Obviously we're all coming from our subjective place, and describing that is the art and the fun. As for disclosing when you receive something from the manufacturer, that's just basic ethics. Of course you should do that. Why even question that, of course it's important.

Despite its eccentricities, I Don't Know What is surprisingly adaptable, proving to be a good fit for different seasons, though it shines brightest during the spring. Its versatility extends to various occasions as well, from leisurely outings to business meetings, making it a reliable companion for your daily activities. We live in an age of pervasive and manipulative social engineering. We need higher ethical standards now more than ever, especially, on a “Subjective Craft”. Don’t misunderstand me: I’m all for transparency, and I admire a reviewer who informs their audience that they received a full bottle for free (though I couldn’t care less if they just received a free sample). I recently blind bought Montale Pure Love because I read here that it was very similar to ILNYFH (Bond). FAIL. To me it’s nothing like it! My sarcasm there may lead you to believe I’m bitter about this. Truly, my writing here comes from a place of fascination over anything else. It is interesting to see this community talk about journalistic ethics while also entrenched in my own journalistic career. Part of me is simply glad to see journalism taken so seriously.and it feels a bit like this with reviewers and ‘product’… if you get something for nothing (rather than having to WORK for the price of that niche perfume) it becomes VALUELESS.

Anyone who has ever spent time on a piece of fragrance content will tell you that it is a labor of love, whether they were gifted 2, 10, 50, or 0 ml of perfume. Many of us have drawers of bottles we bought ourselves for every 5 ml of gifted perfume – never mind the vials we haven’t written/vlogged about and likely never will. We’ve placed the burden of credibility on reviewers to be as unbiased as they possibly can be, as if they alone are responsible for the purchasing decisions we make. Polymathic - Just to be clear, I agree with disclosing in general as I said more than once in the article. I don't want to see any content creator (writer, videographer, whatever) intentionally mislead their audience. At the same time, I do feel that the community in general worries a little too much when we (the community) call out someone for not disclosing, say, a free sample. My point is that we sometimes treat that instance with the same relative degree of suspicion as we would a reviewer not disclosing they received money or multiple bottles or the like. Ego inevitably gets too involved when someone has a big following, and it often obscures authenticity and, yes, even impartiality, in my opinion. It’s not what I am interested in. Thats not even a judgment on my part. It’s simply human nature.I believe they would not bother to make us consent to the disclosure if they think that "We Don’t Need to Worry So Much about Fragrance Reviewer Credibility". I’ve also seen other reviewers questioned for receiving a free sample (less than 2ml of perfume) – again, the assumption being that they lose credibility for accepting that sample. When will we admit that this line of questioning is almost paranoid?

a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to play around with perfume. It can be worn as a modern wonderfully transparent aroma, but it can also be layered over anything. IDKW is a secret combination of materials that perfumers use to highlight and enhance notes in a perfume.A fragrance enhancer with transparent radiance that gives any perfume a certain, as the French say, “I don’t know what.” But, somehow, we’ve assigned perfume reviewers the reverential task of being completely “impartial,” as if anyone who talks about an art form can be! So a little bit of honesty regarding their ties to the companies/perfumes they praise is needed. I think? maybe I am too naive? Listen, perfumes can be confusing, but as soon as you’ve got the facts, you’ll be able to easily navigate them online. In general, fragrances fall into one of two categories: eau de parfum (EDP) or eau de toilette (EDT). EDPs, aka parfums, are made with a higher concentration of perfume oils, and EDTs, aka toilettes, are made with less.
