[@nathansmith-nd9nq]

I love the fact that you are challenging the con /fragrance side of reviews I’m Done with the dishonesty , find myself not going back to these channels . It’s not hard I’m just over it .and I guess that’s why your channel Marc is my go to now. Well done to you bro.

[@downtown9451]

I wish more ppl watched these videos especially the new mates to the community,I think right now this type of videos is the most important even though lots of fans of those fake reviewers are trying their best to make it look like otherwise.great work

[@Falcon03333]

Mark , you are absolutely correct about Demi. Initially she exaggerated so much about pacific rock moss and suddenly one day she stopped saying anything about that. Now she keeps hyping about PDM, Xerjoff, Initio and sospiro

[@Devmundevvy]

Now suddenly she hyping chanel fragrances! 😮

[@joeribt]

I have been a follower of you for years and you have opened my eyes to many great fragrances. I appreciate you're doing this, as indeed the online fragrance community has changed a lot, with all the hype some of the "reviewers" are creating. You and Persolaise stand out for me as top notch. I would also think it's fair to hear Demi's stance on this, so I have linked your video in a comment to her original "review" of Minuit et Demi, as well as in a comment on her latest video. Let's see if that reply happens.

[@robes08]

Prepared to have your comment deleted quickly and blocked from her channel. There will be no response to this video. She will act like she never saw it and it never happened. Business as usual.

[@sinisalazarek4568]

Dubai is a planetary hub for all kinds of shady "entrepreneurs", not only influencers. 0% income tax, almost no regulations or checks on your business practices, huge network of other like-minded individual etc... Some come to evade the laws and regulations of their home countries, some come to feed on rich. Sure, there are people there who do regular honest work, but they rarely promote themselves. If you see an "influencer" or "life-coach" or any "online" business "guru" in Dubai, it's 99% certain they didn't come there because of nice weather and sandy beaches.

[@ShanMasala-we8cw]

I cant believe I can still buy this on the Fragrance Du Bois website; I was so worried about Demi's anxiety and her concern that it would sell out immediately upon release 😂😂😂

[@louisbee7923]

Demi is the real victim here. Being a h0e is so hard.

[@Mrfpsara]

Marc - Your unabashed 'reality' version of fragrance reviews is refreshing and greatly appreciated! Please keep doing your thing, YOUR WAY! I'm a scent addict and have been since my teenage years (back in the early 80's). To hear some of these new influencers speak about 'panty droppers', etc. kinda pisses me off to be honest. Anyhow, keep up the great work brother!

[@baloobas77]

Hi Marc! I have been watching you almost since you started. Thanks for another excellent video and thanks for being you and not selling out. The niche world is a jungle. Would you consider making a list of brands that are FBB free/safe and actually worth the money? Best regards / Fredrik

[@robes08]

Hi Fredrik, I could do that but the fragrance world is ever changing.

Thank you Marc ! We fragrance enthusiastic appreciate this

[@pillcozby431]

In all honesty. When I first started looking at fragrances on KZbin. Demi and Eua de Toilet water Erica were the first ones to pop up. There videos are for the masses who just want a quick list of stuff to look for. When I stumbled upon your channel and Ramsey's I felt like it was more of a conversation about fragrances. Keep doing what you are doing man. I love it. Call it like it is.

[@caseyplunkett6083]

I sampled this fragrance. It smells exactly like a commercial fragrance from L’Oréal. I have a discovery set from Fragrance Du Bois and I didn’t even make it through the whole set before becoming too bored to keep smelling the fragrances.

[@TheSanityMachine33]

Boom! someone had to say it.

[@robes08]

No one would have said a thing. Happy to put it on the table.

[@sharfalor4244]

A fair and honest review for those new to fragcom who don't realise what goes on. This retails for £250 in the UK, Changing Constance for £235. I did buy it for my daughter for Xmas, BUT: a) she had NO idea who Demi even is, she just liked the scent profile when she sampled it in store and, b) I didn't buy retail, I paid £100 less than RRP. The performance still sucks for the discounted price, but so does the Penhaligons.

[@sevbu]

No. I have had decants of the both of them and Changing Constance lasts longer period.

[@sharfalor4244]

@sevbu it well might on YOUR skin. Your personal experience doesn't negate or outrank ours. I actually didn't state that MED lasts longer, I said that performance sucks on both... Performance being projection/sillage AND longevity.

[@thehomemadedisease9485]

I bet most people saying "we already know all this" are just secret fans of this chick and don't wanna hear about it 😂. Great vid, i didn't know this frag even existed. Your videos should be a fragcom prerequisite for all the newcomers.

[@Kenoji8]

I had no idea all this was happening in the background. I've been seeing pieces of things here and there, but that whole Dubai thing really made me go "Oooooooohhhhh, so that's why Dubai has been circulating." That's quite something. Edit: Marc, Navitus came out with a fragrance that's pretty similar called Soir Exclusif and Big Beard was the main person behind that fragrance, so they pushed that in front of you, but they used Beard (I feel) once you weren't on board.

[@michaelmcdonald9847]

“Don’t go light on the trigger” says the literal person whose bottom line benefits massively from saying this

[@robes08]

Exactly, however she has a point. This one was pretty light for a gourmand, but I don't think more sprays would help this.

[@johnwilliams221]

Love the review my man. Stay warm!

[@Francisyrah]

Fantastic video! You’re such a breath of fresh air in a space that often feels fake and toxic. I followed her channel for less than a month because she constantly promoted products regardless of their quality. When she first launched her channel, it was all about her appearance-trying on bikinis for clicks and sharing them on KZbin as well as hyped fragrance reviews. Now, her perfume claims are just absurd. What’s next? Does it cure cancer too?

[@robes08]

Ah, yes, the infamous dancing bikini video. 😄

[@AlexisFiala]

Yes yes yes! Another "tired of all the BS" video. How can you not love it? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and telling it like it is.

[@SofiaBurman-j1k]

I prefer Penhaligon's Changing Constance, it is IMO the smoother, better blended fragrance. Minuit et Demi feels like a rip off of Constance, the added vetiver and maybe also the coffee among other notes makes it kind of harsh in the dry down. While Constance remains smooth all the way. This is just my personal opinion, looking forward to your review of Changing Constance 👍

[@mindfulawareness1]

Much appreciated exposé. Thanks.

[@robes08]

No problemo

[@rammul7801]

This’s why I stopped following her years back. When i first started following her I noticed how hard she pushed PDM and Initio without disclaimers on her relation with the brands. Other figures who push and don't disclose and delete comments are Curly fragrance and Bow tie fragrance guy.

Yes there is a spot-on dupe at Navitus called Raised Spirits. Pimento note & all the rest! The thing that bothered me is that it has horrible performance & many people said so but she still claims to this day that its got amazing longevity & scent trail. Maybe she uses 10 ml at a time?😅

[@ryujinzengen6053]

I was able to smell this one at the Jovoy store (in france). I remember thinking it was indeed sweet and gourmand but nothing out of the ordinary. That being said gourmands are very popular now and didnt use to be, so perhaps judging it as unsurprising in 2025 isnt great on my part. Regardless the price was just brutal and I'd never buy it, regardless of how I see influencer brands or the whole conspiracy behind it Nice video

I think that was an awesome idea, the seriesif Dubois' Oud farm or perfume house etc....

[@robes08]

It's what a real reviewer would do. The brand keeps bringing the oud, why don't we show the people, and make a perfume about it.

[@thehonestperfumereviewer6336]

One can now buy the fragrance in shops, I think. I could be wrong but I thought I saw it at Gents in Stockholm.

[@robes08]

Yes, you can now however the whole point was when you launch something new people want to smell it. Asking people to buy something with no reviews, no samples, online only was not a good honest move. If you really are behind your product especially a brand as big as FDB, couldn't they do a launch party at a few boutiques? Something to get her people excited, to sniff it? Have testers around? You are correct tho, it's now part of the line, so testers and I believe samples as well now.

Cheers Marc, I kinda had zero interest in Demi and therefore took this release with a grain of salt to be honest, same goes for most of the usual suspects, however I did grab the 3 Zaharoff offerings from Z creators,which were a good price and not bad fragrances at all , and there I left it. Great video and yeah Demi’s body language in her pitch video said it all , no Oscar potential there lol.much appreciated have a good one Buddy 👍🤛👊

[@HelderOliveira-bl2xg]

There are samples of this around. I've already received quite a few from Spray Parfums in Italy.

[@robes08]

To be fair the time for samples was when it was launched, not in stores, online only. 5 years later and finally we have all these things.The scummy part was the initial launch and maximizing the amount of money of her die hard fans and no having any way testing the product.

[@shahrzadtavasoli3331]

Before I watch it all the way to the end and hear your thoughts on this fragrance I will share my personal experience, I hated it because it smelled just like Xerjoff Golden Dallah, which smells like weed to me which is the most hated scent of all and gives me an instant headache I don't get any coffee from this!

[@XanoviaScents]

Changing Constance is a much better fragrance and predates her pseudo-clone... She and her content are trash so thanks for taking one for the team in doing the research so we won't have to listen to her prattle... As there was some buzz about it years ago, I got a 2ML decant of it because my wife loves gourmands... Wife thought it was a cheap clone when she smelled it... (And there is nothing wrong with a cheap clone but you can't charge this kind of coin for something that comes off like a cheap clone of something we already have...) We already had the Penhaligon and Changing Constance is just superior in every respect... Looking forward to when you finally take that one down off the shelf and open that one up to get your nose on it... ^_^ Great job as always Marc...

[@Falcon03333]

[@teeade7960]

​@Falcon03333 Zaharoff sells samples, you know. There is a reason you sample something before you commit regardless of what any reviewers or influencers say about it. Everyone ones skin chemistry is different, hence it could be a 10 for the person reviewing it and it might be a 1 for you.

[@Polyfusia]

You've been covering these topics in unboxing videos. It would be cool if you could team up with a really pro editor and do a super well researched, well edited hour long documentary about these individuals and their ties and what they're up to, with all the receipts. Back it all up with proof. Be careful about every thing you say though. These rich people with connections are very litigious

[@MoizAudio]

[@deplerkim3959]

I stopped following Demi when she started posting videos about "smelling rich", or "how to smell like an high value man" or "the scent of an alpha male". She become obsessed with this topic of money and status, luxury and looking rich, climbing the social ladder, and all this trashy, flash-the-cash Dubai lifestyle. She became some kind of Andrew Tate of the Fragcom or something.

Watching the YT, I see the number of Navitus' perfume reviews skyrocketing and I think it all has to do with the shaddy intention of perfume reviewers to get some sort of collaboration with the House. 🤔 Everything stays within this vicious circle - one releases a Navitus fragrance, then all the 'influencers' (who already collaborated with the House or hope to do so in the near future, review the released scent and sing their praise to it. 🤔
