About this deal

I Don’t Know What is a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to play around with perfume. Of course it can be worn as a modern wonderfully transparent aroma, but it can also be layered over anything. Often when I leave the house, I will wear a touch of sandalwood, rose, jasmine, patchouli, oud, etc. These oils are lovely but can be muddy and they don’t last more than a few hours. IDKW sprayed over them makes the oil into a PERFUME. It does this because it is made with no notes! It is a secret combination of materials that perfumers use to highlight and enhance notes in a perfume. A Bergamot accord announces freshness, Vetiver Acetate a thin amber, Firsantol a lingering sandalwood, Iso E Super a radiance, and so on. It is like a building with only structure – no interior. You can fill in the interior with an oil, a scent you like, even an old scent that has lost its way. IDKW is built to layer and enhance everything else it touches.

Personally, I can’t understand why – or, at least, I can’t understand the demand behind that stance. We live in an age of pervasive and manipulative social engineering. We need higher ethical standards now more than ever, especially, on a “Subjective Craft”. 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. 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.a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to play around with perfume.

Unfortunately, the withdrawal from the EU market will probably make it a little harder to get hold of the fragrance in the future, but it is worth it! 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.

I can't believe this article is posted on one of the largest perfume community online...I am at a loss of words. Not so with this fragrance, at least for me. It's woody, warm, fresh, earthy, dark, tart yet soft, almost a bit pungent and minimally sweet. 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. However, with that being said, I still stand by my assertion that it is impossible to be objective if you have a stake in the game. This goes for reviewers who have created their own fragrances, and those who have active financial relationships with specific houses. The second a reviewer creates their own fragrance, they're going to measure everything else next to that fragrance and they no longer can be relied upon for objectivity. The same goes for reviewers who have received free bottles. Are you really going to receive a free bottle of something and then talk about how awful it is? No. The answer is no.

Maybe it’s just me but have you ever bought a designer labelled item (clothes, trainers, accessories etc) from a charity shop and known that it would have retailed for hundreds of pounds? 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. And yes they are lying to you. Don't think they aren't. I use to think that till I saw different. This is where the whole "Simping" name comes from. People are willing to do anything to get those views and don't really care about their audience and not use them or treat them as boy or girl toys. So if you like entertainment that is one thing..but if your costing people their money be upfront and honest about it. Here's the thing though, they know "Simping" works. The question is could you see your kid "Simping" just to make end's meet. I don't know, I think there is a fine line..but that is just me. I rather see someone succeed because of how valuable the person and their mind is and what they can add to the art of perfumery or anything else for that matter. Like I said, I agree with much of these newfound ethics codes. I’m all for “ethical” reviewers who refrain from intentionally misleading their audience, but I’m confused by this demand we’ve placed on them to be “credible,” too. 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.
