About this deal

While the perfume’s longevity is commendable, the sillage isn't as prominent. This makes it a great choice for those who prefer a more personal, intimate scent rather than one that announces their arrival from a distance. This might also be the reason why it's more appealing to a slightly older demographic, who often seek fragrances that aren't too loud.

But, somehow, we’ve assigned perfume reviewers the reverential task of being completely “impartial,” as if anyone who talks about an art form can be! This then also confirms the durability! At cold temperatures 8-10, when it is warm even more hours! I Don't Know What by D.S. & Durga is a perfume that undeniably stands out from the crowd. This is a perfume that neither sways too feminine nor too masculine, making it a great choice for those seeking something that defies the traditional gender-binary scents.Personally, I can’t understand why – or, at least, I can’t understand the demand behind that stance. years ago Google quietly removed the “search discussions” filter, and it enraged me. I used it daily. I have always preferred hearing from regular people when it comes to any product or any current issue. Its charm lies in the fact that it leans towards a synthetic and woody profile. With a notable presence of Bergamot in the top notes, it sets the stage for a fresh and zesty introduction. The scent then evolves, revealing a slightly spicy and green heart, maintaining an interesting balance without overpowering the wearer. The creamy undertones provide a soft, comforting finish that will pleasantly surprise you. Regardless of how seriously you take the art or craft of perfumery, there is undoubtedly an aspect of subjectivity about it, both from an art appreciation standpoint and a scientific one.

D.S. & Durga’s 2018 release, I Don’t Know What, is described as “a fragrance enhancer with a transparent radiance that gives any perfume a certain, as the French say, ‘I Don’t Know What.’” So while it may not seem ideal to try a fragrance enhancer on skin by itself, I nonetheless want to experience it that way and evaluate it on its own merits. I think that instead of using word BIAS we should concentrate on GENUINE. How people get their frags for a review, i couldnt care less, but what irritates me is constant praise of an absolute sh!t of a fragrance, especially when its an ambroxan bomb or a chemical smelling mess. With all the advancements we make in industry we should be making perfumes that previous generations could only dream about, instead we take talented perfumers to create garbage and hype it on youtube. What a sad state of affairs.

Wish List

A fragrance enhancer with transparent radiance that gives any perfume a certain, as the French say, “I don’t know what.” A funny yet thought provoking movie called "They Live" with Roddy Piper talks about it. I think people are more and more awake and are just tired of being influenced all the time. And believe me everywhere you go everyone is influencing you to do something. It get's old..but it's humanity. There is nothing new. People want something more so they go to politics, religion, etc but there is nothing else are far as this consumerism bubble that society pushes on you to make money, especially in America where I live. It's so bad here and everyone knows it. The question's you have to ask yourself..Are people that diabolical in making money off of your weaknesses? Well..Yes..look at Facebook, Youtube or any business influencing you..they have AI technology made for that and AI don't care how you think..it's programmed to make money at all costs and they have and will continue to do so for money..the sad part is when it's all said and done what I have seen recently is that when those same people realize the damage they have done to society you can later see they have remorse about it, quit their jobs or sell off their companies and go on a journey being proactive warning others and wish to change the outcome to hopefully reverse the damage that has been done. The one thing they all have said is they never knew what the outcome was going to be and how much damage it would cost. The other question is how much do you want to contribute to that consumerism? What is the damage being done or the costs..and are you ok with that? It's a hard thing because one has to put food on the table so I do understand businesses and making ends meet. We all find value in specific fragrances where others do not, and that can be because of internal factors like taste and preference, as well as external factors, like the physiological and experiential differences between us all which affect how we are able to smell and how smells press against our individual emotions. PS. Blind buying a perfume is always the buyers responsibility. No one else’s. If you don’t like it, that’s on you, and hopefully you learn from it.

So a little bit of honesty regarding their ties to the companies/perfumes they praise is needed. I think? maybe I am too naive?This should be obvious, but as someone who has always been lowkey embarrassed by their love of cutesy, teenage-y, sweet and fruity scents (i.e., ~gourmands~), I’ve forced myself to wear “grown-up” musks even when I really disliked them. So regardless of your tastes, own them and channel them into your fragrance. Polymathic - Just to be clear, I agree with disclosing in general as I said more than once in the article. I don't want to see any content creator (writer, videographer, whatever) intentionally mislead their audience. At the same time, I do feel that the community in general worries a little too much when we (the community) call out someone for not disclosing, say, a free sample. My point is that we sometimes treat that instance with the same relative degree of suspicion as we would a reviewer not disclosing they received money or multiple bottles or the like.

But he is anything but weak in this. Immediately after spraying it on, it leaves an oily film like I usually only knew it from Profumum Roma, which speaks for a quite high percentage of scented oils for me!Don’t misunderstand me: I’m all for transparency, and I admire a reviewer who informs their audience that they received a full bottle for free (though I couldn’t care less if they just received a free sample). Ego inevitably gets too involved when someone has a big following, and it often obscures authenticity and, yes, even impartiality, in my opinion. It’s not what I am interested in. Thats not even a judgment on my part. It’s simply human nature. I also strongly believe that if a reviewer has been paid for a review, they should make that very clear. While I do think it’s possible for a reviewer to be upfront about their feelings surrounding a perfume even if they’ve been paid to talk about it, I can understand why an audience member would want to skip watching or reading what is essentially an advertisement.
