I love the reviewers you've mentioned and definitely prefer smaller channels; it's feels more intimate.

Hey Claire. I enjoyed this tag. I also enjoyed learning about smaller channels as they tend to be more authentic. I’ll definitely be checking out those channels.

[@ohtheparfum5354]

i love your outfits, i think i complimented them before.. festive, colorful and delightful! ♥ i heard the part where u said u had it for 15yrs and im like im still heartbroken for my fav tshirt that i own since like 2019 it ripped lately and i still have the sads about it lol.. its also colorful and beachy! puts me in that vacation mode right away each time i wear it... and yes i always knew u're a Mugler girl and big fan of Dior that question about the value of ur wishlist is quite smart.. i calculated once or lets say tried toc alculate, reached half the list and had to stop cause the amount was ...astonishing! Haha.. lovely viideo! ♥

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Thank you ❤️ yes, I don't know, some clothes are like fragrances too, really associated with memories. It's quite strange really. I think with wishlists, if you want a fragrance, you can find a way to buy it, either than exact one at a discount or even a clone or dupe. 🥰

[@roseandjones8390]

Having such a nightmare day, but really enjoyed watching this tag on my break. Thanks so much for the tag, and for highlighting new channels that need more support.

I just love watching these "get to know me" videos and I absolutely enjoyed hearing your answers 🥰 I'm probably going to end up doing this tag because it's one of my favourite types of videos to film 😊 When you were talking about not being generic I had to laugh when I thought about my "funny perfume news" videos, probably about as out in Leftfield as you can get, but no those don't really get the views, do they? 😉😂

[@dr.claire.perfume]

It's weird isn't it? Cos the people who love them, absolutely love them, but the audience is lower. Same with my Halloween video and history of curtains fragrances videos, limited views but people who watch love them 🤷‍♀️ I enjoy them so I will still make them... That's the main thing isn't it? That it's fun to make. 🥰

[@joannasliwa8147]

Hi Claire ! I really like Smurfygurly's vlogs and a few French youtubers ( as we like the same brands and vintage perfumes). Recently have been watching vlogs highlighting " perfume- overspending" . Enjoyed as usual ❤. Greetings from Paris

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Ooh yes actually Claire is in our little IG group too. I go to her lives when I get the chance, she's very good at them, I think lives are a really special skill. I think overconsumption and underconsumption cultures are trending right now, I guess my early videos talking about my own perfume overconsumption were perhaps too early to be on trend 😂 hope you are enjoying the sunshine 🌞 thanks for watching 🥰

[@Naturallyliz41]

Awwwww thank you so much Claire!! I’m going to cry. To have you watch my videos means a lot because I know you are genuinely interested. Thank you so much for mentioning me. I really appreciate it. I absolutely love your channel as well. I always learn something when I watch you 💜

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Thank you ❤️

[@ildriaresvik6468]

As always I really enjoy your answers, I really appreciate that you stand out in a very positive way here on Perfumetube. I am so tired of all the same perfumes going around, as you mentioned, and I have also been seeing some content creators wanting less critical questions from us viewers. And that really bugs me. Why should perfumereviewres not get critical questions when it comes to the matter of transparecy and overconsumption? And I do not mean that people should be rude, of course not, but critical questions should and must be asked.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Thank you ❤️ Yes absolutely, if it's asked in a constructive and non aggressive way, then there should be no issues... There is a huge issue with transparency here and also on IG especially (probably TikTok too, but I don't know, I don't watch..) so much gifting that is not overtly stated as such. With the overconsumption thing, I am absolutely shocked that no one else here actually does the annual spending video I have done for the last three years, and just totals what they've spent and resold. I think for a lot of channels it would be eye opening. But I guess them reselling PR might be an issue, or perhaps just how much of their collection was PR might also be the issue, so that perhaps is why they don't, I'm not sure. Also I saw one influencer here describe a fragrance as smelling of "quiche" when she meant "quince", someone politely pointed it out and said she found it funny in a friendly way and got a nasty response, these things happen, I found it funny too, if people noticed it most people would since quiche is a quite random thing to say in a perfume review afterall, but perhaps that reviewer might not know fully what a quince is or whatever and be super sensitive. Who knows, but they should just admit their error and move on 🤷‍♀️

[@sunnyscents1818]

Hi Claire ❤ I just love your honesty! 😉 it’s so great to get to know more about our favorite content creators 😉

[@mamoni7703]

I really enjoy your slant on fragrance content and appreciate your down-to-earth approach. My husband, who isn’t into fragrances at all and barely tolerates my reckless enthusiasm for it, always compliments when I wear Alien or Alien Fusion, two highly polarizing scents seem to float his fragrance hating boat 😂.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

[@HappinessSparkles]

💯 agree about not all the perfumes we are sent are our cup of tea ,that’s been proven with me and so many dossier fragrances ,it’s OK to not like them all 🤷‍♀️I just pass them along to others that actually use and love them I rarely watch any of the bigger channels ,it’s just not me ! I want to connect to the person I watch 😊

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Yes, exactly, your family love them if you don't. Not everything will be for us. It's normal. I think brands need to see that and not expect reviewers to love everything. Dossier are pretty good with that I think. Also just because we don't like something it doesn't at all mean that other people won't. It's just sharing our personal opinions 🥰

[@Mah_fb]

I love the questions on this tag, your video is the second one I watch. Claire please let the brands know you want to work with them!!! They might figure it out, they might not, and your content has a lot of value to our community. Happy Saturday! 🎉

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Thank you! ❤️ Do you think I should? I always think I should perhaps be more active on Instagram... I think that might be the place for that kind of thing more. I don't want to be paid, but I would happily review fragrances. 🥰

[@Mah_fb]

@dr.claire.perfume , you don't have to turn your channel into a TV commercial, hahahah Just some gifted perfumes and your honest review. And if you decide you want to get paid here, doing it responsibly, I don't see any problems.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I can't see it happening honestly, but I wouldn't mind some free bottles. I don't see issues with that as long as I'm prepared never to receive another from that brand 😂

[@EauDeMichele]

Dior and Guerlain are two of my all time favourite houses as well ❤

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Yes, I think they are pretty much the only brands that consistently make fragrances that I want to wear. Both owned by LVMH, so maybe I should check out their other brands? 🥰

[@andfragt]

Never would have guessed that you’re from Cambridgeshire! That explains the posher accent 😅 I’ve been trying & buying a lot of new releases this year - not sure what has happened 😂😂 but hey ho. Fantasm is lovely, I think you’ll like it, if not love it

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Haha I'm from the dodgy bit up the north of the county, but I can't say that I sound like my mum nor my dad no other locals, it's weird really. We will see with Fantasm! I am super intrigued! 🥰

[@fionaH101]

I don't know why Miller Harris isn't hyped either Claire. I think they make some beautiful fragrances and, as you said, quite reasonably priced for a niche house. Thanks for the heads up on the other fragrance you tubers. I'm off to check them out 😊

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Apparently not all their lines are available in the US, so maybe that's part of it, just their global availability? They definitely do send PR and I see affiliate marketing on IG a lot too, so it's not lack of that! I hope you enjoy the other channels. 🥰

[@kathywitter6076]

Interesting tag. I'd like to see less seasonal perfume lists! I know it's still not going to happen but mood affects what I choose as much as the weather. I often crave florals and freshies when it's cold and patchouli's in the heat 😂

[@dr.claire.perfume]

You know what Kathy, I sometimes don't do them, even though they are huge view count videos because I find them a bit dull sometimes and I agree with you that what I choose is determined by mood as much as the weather.

[@skinscentsforfusspots]

I guessed Miller Harris as your fave! I’m with you re influence - I’m sometimes inspired to try stuff but I rarely buy full bottle due to KZbin anymore. I’m often influencing myself and I’m a bad influence sometimes 🤣

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Haha! Yes absolutely... I think about purchases for a long time usually and I still make mistakes. But yes, I've learnt not to get swept away in the hype from others now! 🥰

Your videos are great and I always learn something from them. I like that you have varied topics on perfumes and don't pursue being sponsored. If a KZbinr is sponsored then are the reviews honest? I also like to buy 2 ml or 5 ml samples. It is more fun and I can afford to try a lot more than if I purchased a full bottle of a fragrance. When I find one I absolutely love I'll purchase a travel size or a decant. Keep being you. Thank you.

[@MarcelGomesPan]

Hi Claire! Much of my non fragrance related youtube watching are on subjects like astrophysics,archeology, history,science of religion etc. So ofcourse your channel attracts me more than one with, more or less, a sales person trying to convince people they will be irresistable if they buy a certain product. Btw: i learned the term ”petrichor” from you. 😊

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Wow, I feel honoured! 😂 Petrichor is something that absolutely fascinated me when I first heard about the idea of it! I think it's fab to try to bottle that scent. And yep, I'm definitely not selling anything 😂 thanks for watching 🥰

[@jillshorten3457]

Hey Claire! I am 100% with you on secondhand. I’m at the point where I am buying nearly everything pre-loved. Perfume, clothes, housewares. I get the best deals, have many travels/decants of niche frags I get curious about. Often full bottles are not necessarily as my collection is quite bog 😳 My thrifted closet is better quality and more interesting (with lots of vintage) than any other time in my life. Plus it’s super-fun. Enjoyed your candid answers as usual 🥰 Verity Scents is a small channel I just stumbled upon and I enjoy her content.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Yes! This is exactly how I feel, I don't need huge volumes of fragrance and if I can get them for less, then that's fab! And I love buying vintage clothes and secondhand jewellery, I think I look more interesting and they are cheaper and better quality than now if you are picky, it just takes time! I will check out Verity Scents. 🥰

Haha 😂 tea! I'm a PG tips person but I don't think that's held in high regard here, although I wouldn't be surprised if it's the no. 1 brand in the UK either. PG stands for pre- gestive, it was meant to be drunk before meals. Tips refers to the fact that the younger leaves are picked. 🥰,

Loved hearing your answers! I think for me, I am really shifting away from the huge channels that tend to focus on primarily uber expensive Niche brands. And when newer viewers make comments like,”oh it would be nice to see more affordable brands” they get rude replies like,”well this isn’t the channel for you then”.. and yes I have seen that on a few! Huge turn off. Especially when I know they are being gifted most of these 4-600$ fragrances. And they make that their whole aesthetic as if they’re just rolling in money. Can’t relate,lol! And they also are rather good at fence sitting, as it were.. being vague about what the fragrance really smells like or how it performs simply because they have affiliate links. Not that it’s a bad thing in general, but when I see that it does give me pause. Can’t wait for your Q&A video! Be fun to get to know you and also get insight into your experiences on fragtube ❤

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Wow, that's quite shocking isn't it?! I do like trying more expensive stuff sometimes but I just get samples, I actually don't have very much of it because I don't think most of it really is me, most especially with mainstream niche. I know if influencers are gifted it, the pressure there is to be positive for the brand's to want to gift more, but who wants a cupboard full of fragrances they hate waiting for the eventual declutter? I know there's affiliate income, but surely that's not a satisfying life to lead?! Fence sitting I do get, people can be quite militant when you really dislike something that they love 🤣 but I guess that's life. No one is more right or wrong than anyone else. If people disagree, they need to start channels and be heard, the more the merrier. Thank you ❤️ I have so many questions Julia 🙈 I'm hoping for two parts to get answer them all, but who knows.

@@dr.claire.perfume thank you! Yes I agree - it just plays on people’s ‘fear of missing out’ but I don’t appear to have that, so I’m lucky 😂 Yep, Yorkshire born and bred, I can’t disagree with you 😂

Thanks for reminding us all about getting expensive fragrances second hand. I've got Commodity Velvet on my wishlist and I will wait for it to pop up on an auction site or wait for their half price sale for BF

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Hmmm, 🤔 I'm sure I saw a bottle of Commodity Velvet not long back. I hope you find one to buy affordably. Thanks for watching Em! 🥰

[@ems_h.eartnotes]

@@dr.claire.perfume i've just looked it up and some sold in June and July. I'm pretty sure it was half price last BF. I wish I'd grabbed one

Appreciate the heads up on the channels Claire! 💜 Also find it interesting that women on YT tend to anthropomorphize many of their fragrances with the feminine pronoun, unless the fragrance is marketed toward men. Any thoughts why that might be? 📊

[@dr.claire.perfume]

No worries! Yeah, I've noticed that too! I guess it's maybe like it is with cars, those are always female seemingly too 🤷‍♀️ but I think it's mostly when the bottles are pretty isn't it? I feel like PDM have a lot to answer for there 😂 What are your thoughts?

[@justaddlight]

@@dr.claire.perfume I'd be speculating, but it could be some underlying programming somehow connected to maternity, connection or creation. Us guys sometimes use the feminine pronoun too when it's a cherished item. But personal associations and habituated correlations may also play a role. Listen to me, sounding like a discussions section. 😂

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I've seen you mention a few times now that you buy a lot of fragrances second hand, I have some questions about that. Do you get them all from ebay? How do you tell if something is fake or not? That's really my biggest issue with buying 2nd hand if I can't see the product in person before buying it. Although, I will admit I probably have a slightly exaggerated fear of buying fake fragrances.

[@dr.claire.perfume]

I have a video about buying secondhand, you might want to check that out. But basically, ask a lot of questions if you are unsure and use PayPal, because you will get your money back if it's fake. I would never buy new bottles secondhand, but I do buy used. Ask a lot of questions and ask for additional photos if you are worried. Out of buying probably 250 fragrances secondhand, I've had three fakes, one I didn't care about because it was in a bundle and I wanted the others (I knew it was fake), one arrived and had spelling mistakes all over the label, it was easy to prove it was fake and the other was only a few pounds and fake and immediately recognisable as fake (that was early on). Stay away from Chanel, Dior, Mugler and other popular designer fragrances in the largest sizes new or unboxed new and you will be more likely to be ok. 🥰

[@SageLucas]

@@dr.claire.perfume Alright, sounds good, thanks a lot for the advice. I appreciate it.

[@onceabookworm2821]

Thanks for not putting pressure on your audience to promote certain perfumes. I love your channel but I would not be affected if you decide to promote and sell perfumes since you have a much different taste than me.. I won't buy anyway 😂 I love watching your videos anyways!

[@dr.claire.perfume]

Haha 😂 that's hilarious 😂 and I'm happy to never be able to flog you anything 🤣 Happy you enjoy the videos 🥰
