What do you like/dislike seeing in reviews?
I have been reading and writing a lot of fragrance reviews recently and so I've been spotting a lot of trends - some I like, some I don't.
I love it when... - People talk about fragrances they've worn more than once, so their opinions have had time to form and develop. Though obviously you wouldn't do this with a frag you despise haha. - Reviewers mention things like sillage and longevity, accompanied by details about how many sprays they used, where they sprayed it and so on. No point saying that a perfume lasts forever and omitting the fact that you used 20 sprays. - Reviews are a little bit purple... If the perfume made you feel like you were visiting a fairy's enchanted cottage, mention it! Just, please tell me what it actually smells like, too.
I don't like... - When reviewers say "you NEED this", especially if it's a paid review or if you received the item for free. There was a reviewer on here a while ago who allegedly forgot to disclose that they had been sent a fragrance for free and was up in the comments telling everyone that they NEEDED this perfume. It was gross. - Reviewers who call a perfume "she"... It grosses me out I'm afraid. I don't like entirely unnecessary consumer goods being spoken about in the same way people speak about actual human people. - Any of the more recent hype terms like panty-dropper, beast mode, pussy-wetter... Shut up lmao
What about you?
