Yeah. It’s too bad. Once Jeremy revealed in a video how he made money as an influencer then many reviewers wanted to steal his ideas and methods and they all got dollar signs in their eyes. Their true passion was overwhelmed by the love of money. I have nothing against sales, but it is unfortunate for people who enjoy watching genuine reviews.

I started off my frag journey on KZread with smaller frag channels on YT who had nice, small communities on other social media sites. Now, all of those small communities are gone & many of those channels either died or sold out. Now, I only watch a select few frag YT channels, with yours being the primary one. Thank you for doing such solid & consistent work!

That's it! For a long time, I was suspicious about how ordinary people had the time, money, and skill (it doesn't just grow on trees), to make a perfume from thin air… Thanks, honesty is a breath of fresh air!

Hey Ash, the reason I do love your channel because you are very honest and I really appreciate your honesty and have a blessing weekend peace 🇬🇧

Thank you for this video Ash! I’ve been a sub of yours for many years (basically since the beginning). There is a reason for that, and the reason is that you’re honest, and you are an encyclopedia of fragrance knowledge. Thanks for all the fantastic content, and for all the hard work and dedication you put into getting your fragrances released (particularly the collabs with Michael Malul). Hope all is well, and can’t wait to hear about the new releases coming out in November. 🤘

Im actually impressed with how the suppliers have streamlined this system and made it accessible. I imagine hundreds of disasters have been avoided by steering people to pre-made formulations based on their ideas. If my channel ever gets traction Im totally making a woody outdoorsman/overlanding scent! Marshmallows on the fire as a followup!

Interesting to hear your insight on this

I love that you made this. One guy, let’s call him Aromatic-x, had a fragrance come out a few months into his youtube career. He also made videos (now deleted) trashing ash. Then they got friendly during the maison alhambra discontinuations and now he pretends he didn’t do live videos ripping ash’s appearance and accusing him of stealing his clone videos.

It is scammy when people misrepresent a product or the extent of their involvement. But I wonder how many people expect something differently from influencers. After all, when I see a celebrity fragrance I assume they walk into a room with a few options and pick their favorite. Somewhat similar to the premade fragrance process Ash describes. Perhaps I am very wrong. I do not own a single influencer fragrance. Not because I don't want to. It’s just because I never seem to get my nose on them to see if I’m interested. If I were to ever purchase an influencer’s fragrance it wouldn’t be because of the name on the bottle. Rather, it would be because I like the fragrance. The unfortunate part is when influencers who are creative directors and heavily involved in the creation of their fragrance get lumped in with other influencers who aren't. Surely frustrating for people like Ash but I am not sure it will ever be different.

@pandafragrance

I think the difference is that I can't think of a celebrity that said they had a hand in creating the scent. It's just clear marketing. The influencers claim, often, they had a hand in creating the scent and the process is exactly what Ash is saying.

Once people realize it's great, THEN you can start asking for the indecent prices.

Honestly I don’t see this as a scam, just business, the way you did it is a lot more involved and a lot more control and input, someone else doing it the other way is like getting something out with less oversight or limited options to choose from. I do think it’s scammy if someone tries to make it like they did something they didn’t but if they have a fragrance that has their name on it however they got to the point they put their name on it to represent them. Example many companies have the same water or cereal or product made in the same warehouses but for different brands, the brand sells I wouldn’t call it a “scam” per se but just knowing what you’re actually buying you’re buying the brand or name. For you though I think it would def be important to let people know when you poured your heart and passion into something and not just selling a product. Keep it up bro! I know someone who’s just starting by making his own fragrances legitimately on his own from the bottle to the manufacturing and it’s a very expensive process but to him he doesn’t want someone else to make it or be directed so it’s just see it as how much control one wants.

I'm ambivalent about this. To lead someone to believe they were more involved than they were is a problem but, in the end, it's about marketing too. There are so many parallels. Music is another. You can buy samples they you didn't make but how you combine them and modify them and arrange them, gives you a song. Not a single sound did YOU actually create but the end result is unique and a creative work. Is it "fake" music? No, it isn't. At that point, it's about marketing. No one asks, "What sampler did you use?" "Where did you buy your samples?" They just say they like the song or they don't. Not exactly the same case here, but not all that different either.
