Everything that went wrong at Esxence . Worst brands, rude people & more …

[@MelSizzle]

That’s so shitty to be there as a professional and be treated poorly because you’re a young attractive woman. And wtf were they thinking letting so many people in, no chairs, bad food, etc and people coming with dogs and kids is CRAZY

[@rbdvivi1]

I ve heard the restaurant was good, but it was closed after 4pm and many people would have meetings until then 😅. The bar was not great .

[@LotsofLisa]

Pretty is definitely a double edged sword.

[@MelSizzle]

@@rbdvivi1 yeah it sounds like the team that planned the event dropped the ball big time. I’m like you, I not only notice things like that, but I get superrrr annoyed. I grew up in Miami and it’s a melting pot of people, events 24/7 and it’s hot af. As I got older I stopped going to events with lots of people because I end up SO mad, ready to fight people and just want to leave 😅

[@mariagiuliacerasa4304]

Met you the second day at the Les Indemodables stand. I was there for the store I work at. I stopped you and asked for a picture. You were super sweet and very nice. But I had the impression you were stressed/pissed. So I have been waiting for this video ever since😂

[@NoOtherRose]

The main reason I wish you’d share which brands treated you poorly is because I’d hate to purchase from any of them. Not knowing that they treat people terribly. Sometimes they need to be called out in order for them to do better

[@BlackXS2108]

Exactly! I wouldn't want to support such brands either.

[@Wolmaazchick]

Same, I'd HATE to be supporting their business. On the plus side, most of the times I seek out new fragrances to try, it's something Gabby recommended. So, it's unlikely I'll end up supporting those businesses.

[@tanyabrooke_1981]

You do realize it’s her decision on whether or not she wants to go there. It could start a lot of drama & affect her work. She doesn’t owe anyone that information.

[@AndraAndra-u7y]

Rudeness will ruin pretty much any opportunity..you'd think that in retail business, people would be nicer, but I guess there are rude people everywhere..

[@rbdvivi1]

There are definitely rude people in every industry 🥲🫠

[@perfeptions_ENG]

I guess it’s because those are small brands: they don’t have ppl dedicated to the public relations and they send somebody that is obviously not able to take care of it. There were brands who hired people to do that: tbh they were not knowledgeable about fragrances but at least they were nice to people 😁

[@ChescoYT]

Dogs & kids should absolutely not be allowed, it’s in appropriate and tbh not safe. They need to make it as an adult-only event.

[@rbdvivi1]

Exactly

[@anjeesorge]

As a professional conference planner, this is infuriating. I cannot stand poor planning, especially for major events like this. 🤬

[@NataliaP]

I am a content creator, and I registered myself as such for Esxence. On the first day when I came they gave me the badge "Fragrance Lover". Which, trust me, when brands were seeing it, no one, literally, no one, wanted to take their time ti reply to several questions I might have had, or tell me about their latest creations, etc. Let along leaving me some samples. On the second day I went to to desk at the entrance and requested to switch the badge to the "Content Creator", which they did, and it was a game changer.

[@petyaivanova9629]

And this is exactly the problem I have with these type of events, they do everything for the advertising of their stuff.

[@peacheskong2245]

Not ''Fragrance Lover'' lmao sorry but this had me laughing out loud! They really said ''you're just a fan''.

[@NataliaP]

@@peacheskong2245 I mean, we are all are, are we not? I just think it is fair to make it clear if the person is a content creator or not. And maybe, just maybe, you dedicate a bit more time to a content creator since it is basically a free ad instrument

[@peacheskong2245]

I understand you, I just think it was came off as dismissive of the content creators. @@NataliaP

[@babycakes8434]

It is crazy and disrespectful. They should be nice to everyone, private person will avoid them for the rest of their lives and tell others that they were shitty to them. Why open the event to private customers if they don't plan to talk to them at all......

Hi Gaby ❤ you are right in crossing out brands that did not know how to behave. In the end, also in business, if you mistreat me now you may mistreat me also when we are making business together. No need for that! ❤

[@marinecarretier3221]

Oh my gosh, I literally asked for the dates at work, made plans and went there for just the one day and it was really disappointing for someone who loves perfumes but is not a content creator or buyer and I found some brands and people that were kind of rude, I understand it was their 4th day and they were tired but I was so sad because I though I was going to see perfumers and creators and be able to chat but there was no interest whatsoever.

[@rbdvivi1]

I think tbh the issue is on both sides . Some brands are just rude period, but most of them are extremely nice , but obviously when you see someone trying to steal something or their kids running around your very expensive bottles your would not be in the mood anymore.

[@marinecarretier3221]

Absolutely agree. And I also understand that at the end of the day, they are there for business and it can be exhausting to be around sooo many people but little naive me though I was going to be able to share some the love of perfumery and it was quickly a reality check that this wasn’t the place for it. I totally sympathise with the brands though, like you said standing there all day, people pushing and not always being nice, when you get to the last day, they probably just want to go home.

[@grandregencypoint]

Thanks for your refreshing comments and for running such an engaging channel. I'm all about gourmands, so your content really resonates with me. In my opinion, finding a middle ground that respects both buyers and content creators, as well as fragrance enthusiasts, is crucial. There's a noticeable gap between fragrance enthusiasts and the general public. While enthusiasts may not be as visible online or in the business world, they still wield influence within their circles. Unlike the average consumer, they're not jet-setting to Italy just for fragrances. On the other hand, the average consumer likely doesn't boast a collection of hundreds or thousands of fragrances. I simply wanted to share these thoughts with you. Congratulations on the success of your boutique - it's truly well-deserved.

I was there Wednesday to Friday. It was my second time. I was there in June 2022. The weather was much better then! I had a great time this year! The event was much bigger than in 2022. You need good shoes! 😁 The restaurant was not awful. I ate some veal and fried potato things in nice company. And lots of Italian coffee! I knew the Saturday would be extremely busy. This year I was a designated “Fragrance Lover”. (Maybe you don’t approve! 😄) I loved that designation! My content is not enough (and my subscriber base isn’t big enough) for me to be called a “Content Creator” yet. 😉 Everyone I spoke to was very kind and friendly and gave me the time of day. I made some wonderful discoveries, which I will share soon. Hopefully what you experienced was incompetence rather than malice. Keep a spirit of humility, Gabby! 😊🙏

[@rbdvivi1]

Finally someone who can explain the Fragrance Lover badge 😅❤️. If it was designed for smaller content creators that’s perfectly fine, everyone was just very confused by it ❤️

[@joannametcalf8113]

@@rbdvivi1 well, when I applied, the option was “Fragrance Lover/Content Creator” and I had to put the link to my website or social media (just KZbin and Instagram with only a few hundred followers now 😉). Then, when I picked up my badge in the press area, it said “Fragrance Lover”, and I was very, very happy with that designation! 😁👍 “Fragrance Lovers” like me had our own reasons for attending. Esxence is not just an exhibition for buyers and businessmen. ☺️🙏

[@NataliaP]

@@rbdvivi1 no, it is not about the number of subscribers or followers. I have just under 9500 subscribers here on KZbin and I got the Fragrance Lover, my friend that I know with just over 1000 subscribers got the Content Creator. So I really wouldn't know what is the basis of the division.

It’s so typical for Italians to be disorganised. I’m Italian, so I know how frustrating it is. That’s why most other expos are held in Germany, as they are large and organised. No excuse for little seats and poor food choices, especially in the food capital of the world. I’m also not surprised to hear about the arrogance of some brands. I am looking forward to watch your upcoming videos on Gourmand fragrance releases. XX

@@rbdvivi1 I’m new to niche, so you’re really a joy to watch. Does your store ship to Australia? It’s challenging for us to purchase some brands for the reason there are limitations on shipping. Keep up the good work. Can you also do a video explaining certain ingredients and how they play within a fragrance? For example benzoine. I’m unsure what it or other ingredients are supposed to smell like. Xx

I really wish you could tell us which brands these are so I will not patronize them and give them my hard-earned money! On the other hand, can you tell us which are the really good brands with decent and kind people so we can buy more from them? Haha. They deserve to be rewarded. I wanted to tell you, Gabby, that I finally got my Navitus discovery kit and Baklava Royale was a love at first sniff for me! You've created such a beautiful, elegant yet delicious fragrance, I couldn't stop sniffing my wrist! I ordered a full bottle immediately. Thank you,, Gabby, for giving us Chocolate Queen and now Baklava Royale! You truly are the Gourmand Queen! ♥💜💖 I guess my only question about these events is, for a fragrance lover, are they worth going to? Will the brands allow you to sniff to your heart's content or treat you like s**t? I'm a fragrance fanatic but what you described sounds like a total nightmare to me. If the organization is so poor, people so rude and it's so crowded and chaotic, that would probably take out all the enjoyment for me.

Man that really sucks. I'm only general public but even I think it shouldn't be open to us. Businesses and content creators face consequences if they're not on their best behaviour, entitled people that are only general public don't. There's honestly no excuse for a big expo to not have acceptable amenities for such a large expected audience. It's not impossible to source chairs or have better caterers even after day 1. Thanks for sharing the tea. I hope there will be a better planned event in the future. Not background checking buyers is ridiculous too. Really sucks for the exhibitors that got robbed.

[@TheRedkilt]

A very true review true to my experience. There were brands that acted very snobbish and condescending which are well known and don''t really need the Esxence exposure. As regards samples and bottles, i always kindly request the sample of the prerfume i loved the most or ask if they will be selling the partial tester or a full bottle, because some brands (particularly the ones outside Italy) find it hectic travelling back with the the full bottles or partial tester bottles.

[@smellyskin]

I'm sorry you had a less than ideal time this year Gabby... sounds like they're very disorganized! They need help 😂 from the crummy food, poor visitor organization, security, timeliness... yikes. Thank you for being open about the issues! Hopefully someone in their admin watches this video and can take back the constructive criticism!

[@rbdvivi1]

The location was brilliant, everyone was getting checked and there was security at the entrance so I think they did that very well. But… the badges for buyers were a joke , last day was just a nightmare and the problem that I had with the food that I actually forgot to mention: You would queue for 15 minutes, they would have literally no food left besides muffins, 2 minutes later they would bring a ton of food again , and you would have to queue again. I don’t understand why they couldn’t have a system in place where they bring in more sandwiches/salads as soon as they see that there are just 4-5 left…

Some brands were probably feeling kinda suspicious about everyone because like you said, anyone could just claim to be a buyer and come in and then rob them.

I'm not saying it's okay, I just think people often perceive women with this sort of style negatively. I think a lot of fragrance people are also unfortunately pretty snobby and are even worse in this regard. That being said, there could also just be a random employee with a bad attitude? I wonder if you'll get an apology email from any brands after this

I'm still laughing as I wonder what sort of woman brings little children to an event like this. Those poor poor kids, they'd have been bored out of their skulls. I think it's an occasion where mum can enjoy some adult recreation and relaxation with her friends-- not Coney Island circa 1950. Leave the kids with grandparents, nanny or another mum who may not be into fragrance and so is happy to childmind for an afternoon. It's a bit like the 1990s phenomenon of taking screaming toddlers to the cinema. I cannot understand people making these oddball decisions which upset all concerned. By the way, I love these gossipy 'behind the scenes' chit chat videos. Not enough people have the courage and character to serve it raw and tell it how it is. Everybody hustling...

Next year it will be in February 🫠 . Maybe I will go again if some new /interesting brands are coming but for now I don’t think so.

The brands that I work with were absolutely amazing, I can not say enough good things about them ❤️ Some brands are selling but I have no idea the prices .

Obviously this was not well organized and the sponsor failed to better regulate the behavior of the attendees. Having said that all I can say is welcome to the business world. It can be cruel especially for the uninitiated. The reality is you’re a new and not well established, player/buyer in the fragrance world competing with major buyers for attention from the sellers. I mean no disrespect. So you might understand that given the choice of talking to you or the buyer from Jovoy or Harrods, for example, you would regrettably be dismissed. Yes, definitely very rude. It happens probably too often. But don’t give up. One day you’ll reach that level where everyone in this business will know you for your acumen, success and professionalism with the sales numbers that will place you on the same level of a Jovoy! Hang in there.

Hello this is LaTonya so sorry that this happened to you I'm always watching your videos love your Channel

Thank you so much 🤗

[@aszlowa]

This is not tea. This is one big rant 😂

[@melissaSbythenotes]

You can say who was rude. I mean if it was a rep, they need to be corrected and if they’re an owner they need the understanding this is what happens when you are rude…and we may want to avoid 🙏 but you do you of course. Just seemed like you were holding your voice.

[@maemin]

Actually??? Honest??? That was very good video from you😁👍

[@rbdvivi1]

Thanks 😅❤️

[@b25mech]

I want to know who the brand is that you were trying so hard to get a meeting. Did you finally get the meeting? I might have missed that part.

[@rbdvivi1]

Yes, I ve made it 😅❤️

[@TierneyDeNaye]

I hate you had to go through that. I wish you could ship to USA?

[@carolina111uk]

Romanian people are polite! We were raised to respect each other and that’s why we don’t understand why people are so rude and mean This is the truth You keep going and let the hatters behind where they belong 😁😁😁 Kisses xoxo

[@edithobrien7118]

OMG! What an inappropriate question-statement : ''You're not English'' never mind you could be Scottish or Irish but as if they would only deal with the native English person, disguisting!

[@anna_ania9190]

Thank you for being real ❤

[@rbdvivi1]

Thank you ❤️

[@Amaonsbru]

I can't believe that you had to endure such rudeness, and omg the comment about you not being British 😡 Makes me so mad. Would love to know the names of the brands, but I understand why it would be a problem to disclose that info 😅

[@rbdvivi1]

😅❤️

[@daniellemarino5247]

I saw some vlogs already of it and noticed that people were very snooty and uptight at the event ,especially the workers that are spraying the perfumes.lots of attitude that would make me uncomfortable. Makes me not want to even go there.would love to meet the content creators though.😊

[@joannametcalf8113]

Maybe they weren’t comfortable being on camera and felt obliged? 😊

[@b25mech]

It does seem like people have gotten very bold, asking for this & that for free!

[@raffam3559]

Ah ah! Gaby when they told you that you don’t sound from Uk, you should have invited them to visit the United Kingdom to realise how diverse we are and give them the shock of their lives. From what planet they came from, we live in a global world! Thank you for your honesty but still hope it was more fun than aggro. Love 😘

[@rbdvivi1]

Exactly ❤️

[@DanielBrown-nj3th]

Hopefully some companies will not have sales and go out of business. 😂
