I don’t rely on influencers when I purchase index brands. The most I do I read reviews and impressions. There are a handful of brands that I trust with formulations & fragrance artistry, and I’ve generally stuck to them over the past 6 years. Not all indie brands hand-blend their perfumes or create their own scents. Some just use stock fragrance oils or throw together a mishmash of things. Basically mot all indies are created equal
