Loved this 2nd part. Yes - I am boycotting fragrance companies that have been implilcated in genocide. I really appreciated hearing from you about the problem with Jasmine - so informed and helped me make decisions. I only recently got back into commercial perfumes after strictly being interested in essential oils - and of course - all of the ethics issues that they involved. I really appreciated your answer about health concerns and perfumes and your reasoning for not going down that rabbit hole made perfect sense. My first purchases after getting back into perfume was Sana Jardin, Rook, and Habibi New York. I am noticing that I am feeling compelled to purchase more even though I have around 30 right now. I am thinking that I will limit myself to about 50 perfumes. I am not on YT so I don't need any more than that. I also want to ensure that I am being a good steward of my finances and not getting caught up in having the latest trend. I am mostly purchasing from small, indie brands who have ethics I align with. I did get two perfumes from my daughter who works at a thrift store - $2 total. I would not have purchased them otherwise because I am avoiding department store brands. Thanks again for a thoughtful video. No other channel is quite like yours. I enjoy lots of other channels but yours is very unique in a lot of ways. Appreciate you!

Thanks Claire! I enjoyed Part 2 as well. 6000 releases is a bit much. I am into health & fitness but I'm totally not concerned about perfume disrupting my endocrine system. The excess joy it brings to my life is worth it.

[jaxbeautifulyou]

I hated patchouli when I was young. I didn’t like aldehydes either. Now I like both. It’s funny how our tastes change when we age.

[VeritasVincitFragrancesVeritas]

Very good questions and very interesting answers💟
I'm also very happy I haven't bought any fragrances from L'Oreal and Estee Lauder since years, and now that I know about they been involved with child labour, I can NEVER use my LVEB und their flankers again. I look at them and imagine the pain and sweat of little children involved in the jasmine harvest, I feel deeply sad !

[roseayalaperfumeaddict]

Hey Claire! Thank you for answering my question. Great answer! Same! If it’s a job, no thank you! I also like to film 2 videos in the same day sometimes so I know I’m good if something comes up, or I’m tired, or not in the mood 🥰🥰🥰

[lisasmith]

I don't comment a lot, but I watch all your videos and always enjoy your honesty.

[ems_h.eartnotes]

Loved this, there were some really interesting questions and it was so great to hear your answers. That unlimited budget research project one was a belter! And thank you for answering my questions ❤

[dcjimr]

Loved the video, Claire. I'm not that worried by perfume harming my health. As you said, given the myriad other chemicals we come into contact with on a daily basis, I'm not sure that giving up perfume would make that much difference. I exercise and try to eat right and get enough sleep and the rest is up to fate. 🙂

[lilmamiswatchme]

I found that super interesting, as most of your videos are! I’m considering beginning a perfume channel after what I think could well be called a traumatic event (lost my sense of smell for 3 years), interesting to hear that might be a commonality among YouTubers!

[HappinessSparkles]

Thanks for sharing your answers, this was so interesting ❤

[AboutFaceWithMonaBagot]

Great advice for new fragrance channel. I think that goes for most channels too. And burnout is real. I do think that some very reasonably priced fragrances smell very nice to me but others that smell terrible to me cost a lot. Sometimes it comes down to taste. However I think I have some bias, that a really inexpensive brand won’t smell good lol. I think learning about EL will possibly change my purchases. I’d love to have a side bar conversation on IG about that

[scentedsnowdrops]

It's been a long wait for this part 2 🙂

[tammyroxanne.]

Wow these were very detailed interesting questions! And so were your answers! I really think there is something to what you said about the connection between traumatic events and getting into perfume… When I think about it, I was never into perfume before my daughter died, and very soon after she passed I got heavily into essential oils. I think that was a precursor to my love of fragrance. That is so fascinating! I do sometimes wonder about the endocrine disrupters… Do you think there would be much advantage to spraying on clothing as opposed to on skin?

[catherinelynnfraser]

Yes ❤ More Claire ❤ I truly adore your thoughtful approach to fragrance. I think Dior Homme perfume and YSL Libre are modern masterpieces. Both are designer fragrances. Introducing Iris into men’s fragrances and Lavender into women’s fragrances was really innovative. BR540, IMHO, is just an ambroxan end game. In that sense, it might be a masterpiece but it doesn’t resonate with me either. I really appreciate your integrity and intellectual drive. I also like the strong, personal connection to fragrance you’ve conveyed throughout this journey. There is a cacophony of smells and fragrances and masking scents around us. I think the “plague doctor’s mask” is a modern metaphor for our current world of fragrance. We surround ourselves with a scent that makes us feel beautiful and healthy and that filters out the unhealthy and distasteful scents surrounding us. The world is full of surprises and constants that can make us feel bad or aggravate our mood and breathing and wellbeing. Fragrances can support and sustain us. ❤

it was very interesting to hear your answer about the the common psychology shared by perfume lovers being some kind of trauma. It made me reflect on my own experience with perfume starting in 1999 when I felt transfixed smelling Romance by Ralph Lauren, to now decades later owning a very large perfume wardrobe with quite a few that provoke a lot of emotions for me.

[justaddlight]

You must LOVE woody ambers if you like the smell of isopropanol. 😂 Appreciate your answers Claire!

[Laura-irr]

Thanks Claire . ❤ Wish I could afford Tom Ford Fragrances . I live in Canada and his fragrances are never really on sale but they are very high priced for the average buyer or middle class earner . Luxury fragrances is what I call Tom Ford . I can afford occasional to treat myself to A Lancôme or Dior Fragrance . They are high quality and can be pricey but Tom Ford & Parfums de Marley are two examples of alway very expensive even online . $ $350-$600 a bottle is way out of my price point . Lancome and Dior are $$190-$220 a bottle in Comparison . This of course in Canadian dollars . Then there is tax on Perfume also . But in the end I have always been very lucky with my Lancome & Dior treats at Fragrance . Thanks for the really interesting Q&A Videos . Watched both . You are a very Interesting and Intelligent Lady and I enjoy watching . Laura from Canada🍁🍂🎃👻💀🧙🏻☺️🇨🇦🇨🇦👍🏻🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thanks again for this Q&A video, Claire! I enjoyed the whole video, as I did while watching part one on Sunday. But of course I was particularly interested in your answer to my own question. 🙂

I'm not an expert about super sensors nor about those with synesthesia, and it hadn't occurred to me that some individuals might experience both of these sensory capabilities. I do recall learning in grad school that, perhaps counterintuitively, supertasters have a harder time tolerating many flavors relative to people with less taste sensitivity. Riffing on your interest in this area, I wonder if super tasters and synesthesia in particular, might be extra sensitive to certain scent notes or not? If they are extra sensitive to scent, do they still gravitate more strongly to enjoying concentrated fragrance notes even though they may prefer foods with milder flavor profiles?

And I'm certainly no expert about the huge number of computations that might be needed to isolate the function of specific olfactory receptor genes in order to correlate them with individuals' scent notes preferences. But I'll offer up something that occurred to me recently. While working on my dissertation between 2009 and 2011, I used a qualitative study design to identify conceptual themes from the interviews of six participants, as they discussed their long-term proactive efforts to practice cross-cultural psychotherapy as competently as possible. While working on this project, I learned I had ADHD my whole life. There were so many days when I was just spinning to "compute" these themes via qualitative methods from, essentially a full books-worth of interview transcripts. Fast forward to last month when I was shopping online on a major retailer: after clicking on the five stars to get a statistical bar graph, I was served up an AI generated set of customer feedback themes. It didn't take me long to realize I was looking at AI generated qualitative Thebes themes from the narrative portions of customer feedback! So AI is now able to generate themes just as efficiently as software can calculate academic-level statistics. So... I'm guessing your fantasy study might be functionally possible at some point? I'm additionally cautiously hopeful we can find a way to ensure our DNA privacy will be protected if technology indeed becomes effective enough to help us answer questions like yours with relative ease.

Thanks again, Claire! May you find technology aids you in pursuing intriguing new areas of study in the future! 🦋🧡🦋

sometimes I do worry about endocrine disruptors, especially as I like wearing vintage Chanels and Guerlains which would likely be impossible to make today...but clearly not so worried that I stop!
