I’ve really stopped watching a lot of my favorite creators, as I feel they’ve just been bought out and promote stuff that isn’t that good lol. I used to follow guys like Noel Thomas and FBFragrances, but just as of lately, i don’t find them authentic.
The main guys i watch now are Noel Deyzel, because i feel like he’s actually authentic and helpful, and not pushing some shitty dupe like everyone else. I still watch FragranceFlan and Gentscents, but I feel like they’re starting to fall into the dupe house advertising again, too :(
Anyways, i’ve started checking out more small, independent creators now, who do videos more as a passion rather than solely wanting a paycheck. Yes, they make money, but their reviews still feel a lot more authentic and honest than the highly paid ones.
Probably one of my favorite creators now is this girl called “Fruit Gummi Fragrances”, which is an unusual name yes, but I’ve actually really thoroughly enjoyed her videos.
She specializes in less mainstream, more underrated and artistic niche scents, and I’ve found a lot of really good, interesting ones from her recommendations. She’s a younger lady, so maybe not everyone here is the target audience lol, but i do think anyone, especially those looking for cool niche options might get a lot of value from her stuff.
She’s got great style and a weirdly nice voice too lol, and i may or may not have a very slight crush on her now (kidding… not really 😭😭)
But regardless! I think we should definitely start giving more support to smaller creators. I’ve found their opinions to be the most helpful for me!
Link to her tiktok here. She’s also on Insta
Have a wonderful Sunday, yall!
