D.S. & Durga I Don't Know What Pocket Perfume 10 ml

Product Information

As to @Jecas comment about the business line "Don't shop here if you are a bigot" or similar lines, that read as disingenuous to her: it depends. If it's virtue signaling, ugh, go away (again use your brain and investigate, don't take someone else's word for it). But there are still some companies with ethics and it depends on what they're trying to bring attention to. But again, there is always room for vigorous debate, not vigorous hate. If you debate, know both sides, be able to defend both sides and make your decision based on your own moral code. We have forgotten as a nation what a wonderful thing it is to be able to have a free and strong debate among ourselves without hating, we can disagree all we want as long as you don't encourage violence. You will get nowhere without compromise, except a stagnate, fractious environment. Usually with the ones agitating for that stagnation making a huge profit at the expense of those who won't look at basic truths. Listen, perfumes can be confusing, but as soon as you’ve got the facts, you’ll be able to easily navigate them online. In general, fragrances fall into one of two categories: eau de parfum (EDP) or eau de toilette (EDT). EDPs, aka parfums, are made with a higher concentration of perfume oils, and EDTs, aka toilettes, are made with less. Alcohol denat., parfum (fragrance), aqua (water), alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl alcohol, benzl benzoate, benzyl salicylate, citral, citro- nellol, eugenol, farnesol, geraniol, isoeugenol, limonene, linalool I can't believe this article is posted on one of the largest perfume community online...I am at a loss of words.

If you want unbiased content about perfume, you’ll find it in perfume reporting; stories about factual events and discoveries in the fragrance world. Everything else is probably still journalism – just don’t expect it to be objective reporting. If you love roses and fresh-cut flowers, go for a rose perfume and make yourself happy. Love the smell of grass and live for hikes and camping? Look for a scent that’s labeled “earthy.” If your dream is to roll around a field of daisies, then the floral fragrance family is for you. Whether you think you like citrus fragrances, fruity perfumes, powdery perfumes, or warm vanilla scents, don’t worry about being too obvious—just get one and try it. Decide how intense you want it. 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. And in my experience, I am yet to see one of these "influencers" making collections out of their freebie bottles disliking a fragrance, really, they like 100% and in off chance they don't, you can't see that in their posts, they just avoid negative things to say and dodge by word play, while having the audacity to show off without any useful information on perfumery, notes, fragrances themselves but rather with just a stupid music with their stupid faces making stupid reactions and showing a shelf of hundreds of bottles. 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. I’ve also seen other reviewers questioned for receiving a free sample (less than 2ml of perfume) – again, the assumption being that they lose credibility for accepting that sample. When will we admit that this line of questioning is almost paranoid?

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! 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. I believe they would not bother to make us consent to the disclosure if they think that "We Don’t Need to Worry So Much about Fragrance Reviewer Credibility". 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. This then also confirms the durability! At cold temperatures 8-10, when it is warm even more hours!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. I recently blind bought Montale Pure Love because I read here that it was very similar to ILNYFH (Bond). FAIL. To me it’s nothing like it!

Must fragrance influencers have YouTube channels. More views more money. More views more adds >>MO MONEY! Personally, I can’t understand why – or, at least, I can’t understand the demand behind that stance.

Let me point out that Fragrantica makes each and every member/reviewer confirm the following text before posting the review: a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to play around with perfume. It can be worn as a modern wonderfully transparent aroma, but it can also be layered over anything. IDKW is a secret combination of materials that perfumers use to highlight and enhance notes in a perfume. 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.

It's special, like you have an aura around you that captivates you and it almost has something mysterious about it. You can not really explain it, just a I don't know what.

Wish List

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.
