How I Really Feel About Jeremy Fragrance

[@Tyl1000]

He’s a interesting character very entertaining but in regards to his content it’s purely for beginners, his last 300 videos have been about the same 10 fragrances for the most part.

[@beefbroth6539]

No hate against him, I wish him all the best, but I stopped watching his vids a few years ago because pretty much all his vids were talking about the same frags. Then a few days ago I was wondering how he's doing so I watched a couple of his latest vids. It's still about the same frags lol! YSL LNDH, BDC, Sauvage, Prada Lhomme, Aventus, The One edp etc

[@christdamicohd]

He is on too much coke to slow down and think about how to make his channel better, so he just plays the same KZbin algorithm games to get views.

I give Jeremy credit for getting me involved in fragrances. I have always loved fragrances and probably owned more than the average guy. I really enjoyed his older videos for sure. I quit watching him when it got a little weird. Wish him the best though. You never know a person's struggle behind the scenes are what they are dealing with.

What you did in this video is one of the reasons I watch your channel and became a subscriber several yrs ago. I felt that you’re a decent human being and this video is proof of that. What is it with people that they can’t accept someone for who he or she is. If you don’t enjoy watching his/her channel, stop watching it but don’t be mean. When I was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer in May 2020 I wanted to start a KZbin channel to educate women as ovarian cancer is called the silent killer. I decided against it when I read some really nasty comments about someone with an eating disorder. I didn’t then and still don’t need stress in my life. Stress is bad for your health. Sorry for being long winded. I enjoy your videos very much. Am a 69 yrs old who LOVES wearing gents scents. Warm regards from The Netherlands.

Jeremy is BURNED OUT. He was putting out 3-7 videos EVERYDAY on various social media platforms. When it's no longer a love and moreso business, that changes everything. Everything changed after he hit 1 million subscribers and had to keep having his face out there and more content is needed to keep that momentum, then you use all your video ideas up in a year then you have to resort to shock video content to keep the same buzz and channel growth and view time. He's always been the hardest working fragrance reviewer, it's just now quantity over quality

He was super passionate about fragrances and detailed when he first started out. The guy was a true supporter of the fragrance community back then. He gave great advice, connected with people. Then he just went off the rails. Not sure what happened, but something snapped, and he just went downhill from there. I still have his first Office One clear bottle without a cap. I really did support the guy, but he just sunk too far. 😩

[@michaellarue6090]

Greetings! I'm relatively new to the fragrance community, having started less than two years ago. I guess I'm what you'd call a lurker, but will step out of my box for this. As a relatively newbie, I see a lot of collaborative videos that take place amongst fragrance influences and contributors here on YT. In fact, as someone looking from the outside in, this is one of the aspects I've really enjoyed about the community. This type of comradery has actually made the "Fragrance Community" feel like a community. I hope that I'm not that naïve and that my perceived respect that the fragrance YT contributors have for one another is genuine. Before I get back to the comfort of my lurking I'd like to say thank you for all your efforts, and those of your spouse, that really make this channel a source of information and fun.

Love this channel. Ash has so much class that there is background information without it being mean spirited or harsh in any way. Just an even keeled, mature take on someone who is clearly struggling emotionally because of the loss of his father and the conflict with his brother. I hope Jeremy turns things around because his older channel was absolutely incredible. Overall though, Gents Scents is really the best fragrance channel - at least to someone like me.

I think Jeremy is quite simply moving upwards and onwards. How long can one be enthused about doing fragrance reviews? He talks often about his next fragrance creation, starting a fragrance store and maybe heading a huge business related to fragrances.

We cant achieve everything without sacrificing something we simply don't have enough time and energy. Hey man love your content bro. ✌️😎

I started watching him around late 2015 maybe the beginning of 2016 and he was absolutely amazing. The fragrance youtubers before him we're making 25 minute videos going over I bottle of fragrance. They didn't seem really enthusiastic about it. Jeremy was a fresh breeze that really caused me to get more into and excited for fragrances. His camera work and editing was new and different for the time. Everything just clicked. He made more list than anyone before I think and that was really cool and unique in early 2016. Somewhere around 2019 or so, he seemed to start getting less enthusiastic and more erratic. By then there were many new frag reviewers now in YT. I started checking out many others. By 2021 it seemed that Jeremy was more a d d and erratic than ever. Finally, in the last year their are so many shorts and uploads per day, there is no way I can keep up with him. I hope as you do Ash, that he gets back more like his earlier videos were. Oh, and my, how he loved YSL Lanuit D'Lomme! He definitely influenced me to get that one years ago and it was worth it.

This just makes me miss Carlos, he was like the most genuinely nice person in fragcom. He had no snobbery, a positive attitude and seemed to love everyone. I totally remember when Jeremy was nice and checked out other people's videos left comments and was just a nice guy. I thought it was the popularity that started his decline, I think I remember him acknowledging that his opinion could make or break a fragrance, so lots of brands wanted to work with him in any way they could. I just thought he was getting a big ego from knowing how significant his opinion was getting in the community. I can totally see how many in fragcom see each other as competition, and judge one another negatively by their taste. In the real world, niche can be very off-putting to most people, so for my job I need to wear very safe and clean fragrances, as a result I've grown to appreciate the mass appeal scents, and got away from the heavy and challenging scents that will basically sit on the shelf and won't be worn outside of me sitting at home one later afternoon sniffing random bottles when I'm just going over my fragrance collection on likely a sample card or small spay on my hand to remember how it smelled on skin.

[@Seasniffer69]

This is exactly how I feel. I'm just getting into frags and everyone doing frag reviews are like anti main stream frags. Well not anti mainstream but they make videos like everyone knows what the most popular scent smells like. As someone who's mostly never worn frags outside of ADG, voyage, ed hardy, EROS, KCBlack. I have no idea what's what I like fresh frags too. I blind bought 2 frags just off the positive vibes about it and fragranticas scoring. Absolute worst blind buy I bet I will EVER do.

[@GrabLifeByDaPoosy]

@@Seasniffer69 I can definitely say you shouldn't always go by fragrance reviewers opinions because we're all different with different preferences and many reviewers have so many fragrances that they're looking for something "different" to stimulate them. I've learned the hard way that sometimes that means your average Joe will hate them especially if they say things like "it isn't easy to pull off/wear". Newcomers generally like designer brands because they're mass appealing but often times they get hated on by reviewers with a ton of fragrances because they're not "different". They'll even say it smells great but still talk about it with disappointment. Lol

Man I won't lie. I started watching The style OG then Jeremy then a couple others like you. But right now, you're easily the most objective and dynamic fragrance KZbinr. Seems like today's Jeremy is chasing the KZbin algorithm that's all. But your content is often fresh and new and relevant. I appreciate it by the way now that I've gotten your attention *wink* kindly do a list for those of us who live in the tropics and can't keep wearing summer fragrances all year round. Thanks

[@sasanachmor]

Like most other people Jeremy was the first youtuber to teach me about fragrances. I still think that no-one can communicate the vibe of a fragrance like him. "This fragrance is for this guy, going to this place, with this feel," etc. Really succinct.

[@scottt2012]

I have a lot of love and gratitude for Jeremy. He really put himself out there in ways most never would. Very honest and unafraid. I respect that. This channel and his are not the only fragrance channels I watch but they are the only fragrance channels I subscribe to. Different approaches to be sure but good content presented by people with a true passion for the content they create

[@sumanth13]

He was the gateway for me into fragrances. Credit given where it's due

[@JamesBaxter46]

What I like about your personality and your channel is the honesty, and I understand there's pressure to be something and you doubt for a minute but you come back to your true self

[@cayetano6547]

I don't dislike the guy but I feel like I have evolved to more substantial stuff..God Bless him and hope he is happy and successful in every aspect of his life...every so often I do watch him and I find him an intriguing and charismatic man. No hate from my side.

[@edwardbrock3807]

Jeremy got me started in this hobby, i never knew this world existed, then i stumble onto BFL and i was like "theres more of these guys?!" And i was hooked! Jeremy in himself always reminded me of designer frags, jus fun, quirky, trendy charasmatic etc etc, Jeremy IS designer; if Jer was a frag he would be JPG Le Beau, quite literally lol

[@ga13r1el8]

I might not be one of your peers but I've got to say that you're the reason I collect fragrances. Keep up the awesome work, I always love waking up to a new gents scents/gents scents extra video 👌

[@donhinojosa9044]

I really liked his content for years now he has kinda been a little different he seems to look stressed and aging quickly God Bless him .. Prayers out to Jeremy . Sincerely.

[@PerfumandoTMx]

I discovered your channel before others (including mexican reviewers) and thought you were a guy with the feet on the ground. I saw Jeremy but I could relate to him. Just started my channel 2 years ago, thinking " I'm going to do content for people like me". Good video man

[@raistakilhara]

i started watching fragrance reviews back in 2008 or 2009, and i started with Tim Swetcoff, then i move to robes08, then fragrance bros, then the hype beast Jeremy, now im happy only with gentscents and it´s enough

[@smileytownSF]

Another great video, Ash. Keep up the good work!

[@fitprotunes]

I remember Daver from Fragrance Bros had a pathetic vendetta against the guy

[@joannameatclap78]

what did happened?

[@jackmehoff3019]

That guy give me creeps, man. I remember him making a video then disabling the comment section because he’s too salty to receive criticisms. A young man in his teens made a reaction video about it and he has more sense than that creep Daver. To be honest, if he’s the only one doing fragrance review on yt I would still never watch it. The guy is a legit creepy.

[@bradjohnson1578]

He also never apologized for the Ferrari, and said the people were just jealous because he was a good looking dude with a Ferrari.

[@ToriZealot]

A narcissist will not be your friend.

[@kolliq]

The first fragrance video I saw was from Jeremy. He is a natural salesman and sparked my interest in fragrances. And that's why I want to thank Jeremy, it's been an interesting journey and it's still going on. Thumbs up.

[@Cham_53]

Great video! I have a small collection thanks to the 2 of you! He helped starting my journey and you added to my passion. I noticed he’s been different for awhile but didn’t know if the lock down added to his issues?! Thanks guys!!!!

[@keithchegwin1222]

People were obviously jelious of him, that was his main problem. 1, Tall 2, Very handsome ex model 3, Biggest fragrance KZbinrs 4, Lots of hot women around him at all times. These things will get anyone a lot of hate. People like to bully behind their little cameras and keyboards all the time, they're pathetic and sad people.

[@charlesgreene8883]

I have watched fragrance videos on KZbin for about two years and Jeremy was the first that I watched. And on occasion I will watch his content, I never had any negative feelings about him but given his numerical success and his model aesthetics, I could see that some insecurities may arise. I enjoy your channels better because of the depth that you provide and the best to you in all aspects of your life.

[@Godspeedjosh]

I miss old Jeremy. He’s absolutely struggling emotionally and mentally now. He’s just off. Hope he gets help soon.

[@stevebaker6453]

I love your videos as well as others, curly fragrance, big beard business, bow tie fragrance guy and sometimes jeremy, enjoy your advice and keep it up dude👍👍👍👍

[@ardexis3627]

He used to be excellent fragrance reviewer. But as he got more popular he became less honest. Likely due to brands sending him fragrances to promote

[@waqarinnit]

He doesn’t take money from fragrance brands. His reviews aren’t the same because there isn’t a lot to review anymore. He makes quick videos

[@drathen1556]

Its funny that this video pops up because I just watched a couple of Jeremy Fragrance shorts for the first time (have never seen his videos or even heard of him before this) earlier today. I've viewed a few of your videos which have been entertaining and feel authentic whereas the Jeremy shorts felt like they're in a time loop. When watching this video by Gents Scents it made me think of Stradman (popular car KZbinr) who I started watching long before he exploded and he used to comment on all his videos but as he grew in popularity he commented less and less. They style and the content of his videos has changed as well and I don't enjoy it as much as I used to which sounds similar to how you describe Jeremy's popular ascent.

[@dannysllrs]

Not just Jeremy but for all of us success, greed, jealousy, envy, you name it and we've all felt it and let it rule our lives at one point or another. If we don't see the signs given to us and humble ourselves, taking it down a few notches, then we will be humbled in some of the biggest ways. It happens to the best of us, Success does too!!

[@SaintAlexander871]

I stopped watching his content a long time ago. But he was the first fragrance KZbinr I found. Because of him I found your videos in recommended. Your by far my fave. But I also found big beard business, curly fragrance, and Cuba. Now I love the whole community. I can’t hate Jeremy at all.

[@nektarios8386]

He was my introduction to the online fragrance community so i thank him for that. But I don’t watch his content anymore and probably never will. He’s been big for fragrances and getting people into it, he has had influence, for better or worse.

[@NPRGAdmin]

Thoughtful, insightful, authentic, revealing. Thanks for sharing, Ash. When I first encountered Jeremy’s content, he was very different from others. He still is. I stopped engaging him for a couple of years because I found his behavior and persona a bit disturbing. Honestly, I wondered if he needed help. Just in the past year, I’ve begun watching his shorts and while I admire his breadth of frag familiarity, I’ve decided his “brand” isn’t really what I seek. Also, sad but expected to hear about relationship dynamics among frag content providers. I think relationships may be more easily had with between providers who have different brands. Chaos, for example, focuses on designers and is sometimes brazenly ageist. Perhaps someone more sophisticated with a niche focus may form a useful relationship with him, especially if they are under 30. Anyhow, thanks for this. Keep up the good work and I appreciate not only the breadth and diversity of your content but I really like the fact you don’t use nasty language to describe non-GenZ viewers.

[@Kenoji8]

I think I talked about this, but I'm not sure it was on your channel Ash, but I've also been around a long time (like you); I've seen a lot of stuff in the community since about 2016, I'd say, and Jeremy was the main one to kind of get me into fragrance when I was first curious about what else was out in the fragrance industry (both him and Kevin Samuels got me started, really) and I loved his passion, accent, and so much about how excited he was and genuinely happy just to share information. He also changed the format of most YT frag creators that had already been on here, making his videos shorter and more to the point and attractive, so people could quickly get information and learn. But once his success got high enough, I think the thing that really got him the most hate was when he decided to start creating his own fragrance and brand...because apart from John Pegg (who left YT to start his brand, Kerosene) no one was really doing that...and for him to have such success and to say, "Hey, I can make my own brand," that set a lot of people off for some reason. People got extremely jealous, especially when he announced that he was working with Alberto Morillas. At the same time, though, I believe that this decision launched a lot ideas for other YT creators to start their brands too, so I think Jeremy single-handedly started that whole movement. And once he started seeing the results and reception to his fragrances (mainly the harsh reviews of his scents), I think he just cracked. Sure he has had relative success with the brand and good support, but all of the fame, the lashing out of him and the brand, the stress to perform and succeed...all of that broke him down...and whereas he was once this charismatic guy full of life and vigor, the pressures of the world and of negative people have beat him up so much, and it is hard to see where he is versus what he originally strived for: just being a passionate guy that loved to look good and smell even better.

[@dk302948]

I feel like this is what happens when someone looses their way. I haven't watched one of his videos in a very, very long time. I was just kind of getting sick of the intensity of them. I mean, you can have passion, but at some point it just seems put on. I know other people have what they call a persona, but it just didn't feel real anymore. This is what success and money can do to a lot of people if they aren't mentally strong enough to handle it. A good support system can really help with that too, so it's too bad about his brother. I had heard about that before this video, I had actually seen a post on Facebk where the actually brother was introducing himself to the community. I wish Jeremy the best, and hope he finds some peace and clarity and remembers what got him to where he is today. When you are real, or come across as being real vs fake, it makes all the difference in the world. That's why I have so much respect for Ash, it took a lot to make this video. I'm sure he would have rather reviewed the new Polo Ralph's Club or some Middle Eastern juice that will be the next big thing, but he felt it best to clear the air on this. Never change Ash, respect.🙌🙌

[@cgranero1]

I feel like you're really authentic. You're just honest about things and about people. I dig that. I just watched your video about the brands that have black listed you as well. I feel like you're being really transparent about things and it has given me an interesting window into the whole fragrance community that I didn't have any understanding of. It's been interesting. Thanks for being real. It's nice.

[@weaamali9541]

Making this video is a proof that you are a good man, respect 🙏

[@myfreedomblueprint]

Thanks for the reality checks. This video did not turn out how I expected. Great job.

[@1994rastaboy]

I always liked fragrances, but usually was getting them as a gift once in a blue moon. My real love for it started when I accidentally found one of the Jeremy's videos back in 2016-2017, ever since then it's my favorite hobby. Even though I'm not watching him anymore since Office one and Ferrari controversy, I feel bad for what is happening to him (mentally wise).

[@classicalgrooming]

I've always liked Jeremy's stuff. He and I don't share the same tastes, but every now and then he brings up something that catches my attention, and I actually like the brevity of his reviews. I'm not wild about everything that he does, but everyone's life is a journey, and I'm happy for his success.
