ARE INFLUENCER’S FRAGRANCES GOOD? Demi Rawling: Minuit et Demi Fragrance du Bois / Soma Parfums

[@holokron1337]

Excellent review! In regards to Demi, people can be so jelaous sometimes, it's sad. Good job on keeping the video objective (as much as a fragrance review can be) and focusing on the actuall smell rather than the person connected to them. As I said before, a breath of fresh air in the fragrance community 💪😎

[@clemenceccfragrance]

My pleasure! That’s very very lovely to say, appreciate ! Thank you for sharing and watching the video 🤍

[@annkristinskadberg4417]

Loved the opening!😂😂 And the intro, it's unbelivible how mean people can be on social media. Great reviews also, your are the Queen of describing scents! 👑💗🌷

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Ohhh you’re too sweet !! Glad you enjoyed thanks a lot 🤍🤍🤍

[@annkristinskadberg4417]

@@clemenceccfragrance Thank you for making so great perfumevideos! ❤️👏👏🌹

[@parfumninja]

Just for clarification: when Minuit et Demi was launched it supposed to be a limited edition and there wasn't any option of sampling it so if someone wanted to have this fragrance in their collection, had to buy it blindly. FDB fooled their customers and relaunched it after a while and now it's widely available.

Thanks for sharing Paula !

Clémence...I'm glad to know you have a very refreshing view about life in general. I really appreciate that. Everyone is respectable as a person no matter what they are like. We may agree or disagree with ideas though in a respectable manner.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Ah thanks Zarrar it’s lovely to see you have a similar point of view! Exactly, being critical is fine, being rude is different 🤍✨

[@_-MiamiVice-_]

We don't hate Demi, we just don't like people who shill for brands that belong to her boyfriend's father's company Sprecher Berrier Group and she forgets to mention that

[@caravanrose]

Surprised the FTC hasn't nabbed her yet

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Well I remember she was talking about those brand before going out with him and to be honest, its none of my business hehe understand your point of view, thanks for sharing

[@caravanrose]

Its unethical, is what it is, and that's why people don't trust her. She isn't the only one doing undisclosed sponsorships, obviously, but she's the most unabashedly blatant about it. Surprising anyone would defend her or pretend it isn't problematic.

[@tp3218]

Stir up the old drama (then hypocritically tell people to get some chamomile tea?), and some comments are just dumb. She’s unethical and that’s it. Nothing to do with jealousy or hatred towards influencers in general. This is fact - neither an opinion nor a disrespect to you.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Hahaha I’m not stirring up drama my dear, And it’s a joke to tell people to not be rude on socials, it’s ok to debate but not being disrespectful. Thanks for sharing your opinions and watch the video 😉 lovely !

[@michaeldeken8382]

I really like the bubble you're talking about, it's stunning. I have nothing against Demi but I do not so much believe in her content sometimes. I think there are some brands she promotes and it has nothing to do with her opinion about these products.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Hi Michael ! Ah thanks, I can’t be happy without this bubble to be honest Well that’s interesting to hear, understand your point and that’s a shame really ! Thanks for sharing here and taking the time to watch, appreciate 🤍

[@rmw250]

I watched Demi's channel once but really didn't interested me at all. Enyone could talk about fragrance doesn't make you an expert. saying that Your reviews are cool I really think you know what your talking about when it comes to fragrances. ✌

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Oh well that's true, don't know if she is claiming to be one to be honest. That's really lovely to say, really appreciate !

[@jessicaliandrat1865]

Coucou Clémence ! Tu as tellement raison de dire que chacun est responsable de son argent… et que nous ne devons nous en prendre qu’à nous-mêmes après avoir acheté un produit qui ne nous plaît pas. Et puis le parfum, c’est tellement personnel : ce qui va être divin pour A va paraître horrible pour B, et inversement, donc jamais de blind buy pour ma part, c’est trop dangereux. En revanche, je fais une consommation importante d’échantillons, mais c’est beaucoup plus raisonnable à mon sens, et surtout ultra pratique pour découvrir des marques quand on n’a pas les boutiques à proximité. Merci pour ton avis toujours honnête ! 😘

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Hello Jessica ! Ravie de voir que tu es d’accord, En fait, je suis d’accord qu’on soit critique mais rien à voir avec être mal poli en fait haha Je suis tellement d’accord avec toi, je suis une consommatrice de samples et c’est bien mieux comme ça ! 🤍

[@ashleyinparisvideos]

Loved your honesty and this review! I also enjoyed Demi’s fragrance and thought it was very well done. I think it’s hard for people to be impartial about a fragrance when there’s someone attached to it. Their feelings about that person are always going to play at least a small role in their opinions of the fragrance. Also completely agree about blind buys, samples are a MUST. Again, great video ❤️

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Hey Ashley, lovely to see you here ! Im glad we agree on Demi's fragrance, thank you so much for taking the time to watch my dear !

[@leeallen463]

I don't have anything against any influencers, I watch several, but a fragrance would have to be very reasonably priced and be available to sample before I spent money on it. I don't really get people being such big fans of a youtuber that they'll spend several hundred pounds on a fragrance because it has their name associated with it.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

I couldn’t agree more with you ! Very fair points, I’ve never been a fan to that extent ! Thanks Lee for watching and commenting 🤍

[@sunshinesmile94]

I think it comes down to how much you trust their "tastes" and recommendations. If you have repeatedly purchased scents based on a particular influencers recommendations and consistently have liked what you bought and you find your preferences/tastes seem to align with that of a particular "fragrance influencer"... then it is not a far stretch to extrapolate that you might also like something they have Creatively been a part of. No one wants to create a dud, so there is a good probability they have given it their best before launching the final product.

[@aromafromheaven]

Awesome reviews

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Thank you 🤍

[@marie2315]

I don't know either but they sound good, thanks for your review! And I agree, some people rate those fragrances poorly just because they don't like the youtuber. PS: regarding the rose oud combination, what are your thoughts on Amouage Epic Woman? It is one of my top favourites :)

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Glad we agree Marie ! Ah it’s been long I didn’t try this one but I remember enjoying it, I should definitely retry and let you know !

[@missjohari]

Can you please do a video on other perfumes similar to hers

[@clemenceccfragrance]

I'll do some gourmand reviews soon!

[@scentedsnowdrops]

You're mum is fab 🤣. You know what you're right about Demi and her fragrance, I've always thought the same with Jezzas frags, it's about what's in the bottle and even if we don't like it, it's nothing to do with the personality. I also have to say I've had a couple of interactions with Demi, I think about Black Opium and Joop 😳 and she was very and witty about it actually. And yea Dan is a top fella and certainly very direct and funny.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Really ?? Oh but that’s Funny 😅 Glad we agree on those !

[@marinelab]

I don't really know Demi and I also watched only a few of her videos. She seems nice though...personally my "concerns" were more directed towards Fragrance du Bois, I thought "why would they ever need a collaboration with a fragrance reviewer?" It felt a bit opportunist... But then I realized that I wished some of my favorite KZbinrs had this kind of opportunity (because I really trust their judgement and understand their taste). What about you Clémence, any fragrance collaboration? I bet it would be an Ambery/elegant/fierce type of perfume!

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Hello Marine, I completely get your point of view on that, I had some doubts too to be honest, but now when I think about it, brands collaborations are very normalised in other industries like beauty for example, and I find this is a good way to make the perfume industry more known really, I also think for us content creators this is a great opportunity and give us some kind of credibility too that most of us have to fight for nowadays hahaha Id love to do a fragrance collaboration but it has to be with someone that shares my fragrance philosophy hehe, might be hard but id love too and indeed ill go to the ambery, warm side for sure ! Thanks for sharing Marine, it's nice to discuss about those things!

[@sunshinesmile94]

I think Fragrance Du Bois's marketing research team clocked onto the fact that KZbin and social media influencers are an excellent source of marketing. It's like how Anna Wintour started putting celebrities on the prestigious and highly coveted covers of Vogue, that previously exclusively graced the face of models. She featured Kim and Kanye, for goodness sake. Remember the uproar? But she is a visionary and now it is the norm. Even Vogue has to evolve with the times to survive, so why not a prestigious niche fragrance house? They have jumped on a collaboration with Demi Rawling who is to date the biggest female fragrance influencer on KZbin, if we are going by subscriber numbers. They have probably gotten her at a much lower price than future collaborations going forth, since her name will only grow. "Fragrance reviewer" today, CEO of her own company tomorrow. Don't forget that Jeffrey Starr, Jacklyn Hill and Michelle Phan were all once just "KZbin influencers" and branched out.

[@caravanrose]

Your other favorite KZbinrs don't have the opportunity because their boyfriend's dad doesn't own Fragrance du Bois. The fact that she's never disclosed this information is why many people find her shady and call her a shill

[@marinelab]

Ahhh ok! That makes more sense now!

Most fragantica commenters have turned into trolls and bots, and they blast the ratings on there to drop it for those looking at it for reference. That’s why I don’t go off fragantica comments or ratings - maybe the comments give a generalized idea on the notes and perfume makeup but that’s it.

Merci for making the effort to be objective with Demi's perfume. I am disappointed to see the vicious attacks aimed at her personally (and Rihanna) instead of judging the fragrances on their merits. I thought we were beyond criticizing a woman based on whom she sleeps with or, in Rihanna's case, how much money she has. I wish Demi, Rihanna, and other talented young women all the best in their careers despite the jealous detractors.

She didn't create a fragrance. She paid someone to create a fragrance. Just like almost every other YTer who has one. Anyone can pay to have a fragrance made. Nothing at all special about that. And people don't like her because she's a schill.

[@clemenceccfragrance]

Okay well that’s me that didn’t express myself correctly , I know she didn’t create it, it’s a collaboration with a perfumer and a brand. I don’t think anyone can do that to be honest. She posted a lot of content and content creators knows how much work it is to do so also being one of the first ones to have some success, she opened the way for us, let’s not forget hehe I respect your opinion tho, thanks for sharing it here Josef !

[@Josef_R]

@@clemenceccfragrance I wasn't suggesting you weren't clear about it, just saying she sent a list of ingredients to a company and they sent her a fragrance. There are at least 2 YTers who actually make fragrances, one of them smells like ass, but at least he makes it himself. The rest of them are just cashing in on the frag bandwagon and relying on their subscribers to make sales. And then the companies doing the work aren't even known brands, so why would anyone with a discerning nose even want them?
