    You are a pioneer of Middle Eastern Fragrance because you are THE ONLY ONE that described the fragrances in a way that didn’t make people feel bad for only being able to afford “ dupes” and even be excited for a new release. You made it exciting because for people that can’t lay down $100, $200 for the newest designer fragrances, but they could afford $30-$40. You gave us a place to go to find out what was new and attainable in our world. Thats why you are a pioneer.
    We (all your fans) should start a campaign to help you get PR from these houses. I’ll send messages to Lattafa and Paris corner and all the rest. We should flood their social media accounts with messages about you and tell them to put you on their PR list ASAP.

    Don't be fooled, Middle Eastern houses court social media and you are helping their sales with your content. There is someone right now who is a brand ambassador for one of these companies and although I'm not mad about that, she is not genuine AT ALL in her reviews! It is clear she is about the money. That is annoying.

    Hi CEE, few things I want to share with you. I live in Italy and I see so many persons on youtube that don't know anything about fragrances that have channels and receive every day lots of goodies as adv or similar. They do reviews and they are so boring, no sense in their words. They don't feel the fragrance, and as I'm a passionate I understand that there is nothing in their reviews. When I see one of your videos I feel your passion and your knowledge about frangrances. You feel it and you share and this is the best for me. Thank you from the bottom of my ❤ and thank you for sharing with us the african reality. This makes the difference ❤

    Thank you for sharing, Cee 😊 As a viewer I really appreciate reviews of the lesser known, I am so sick of seeing the same fragrances over and over again on other channels. You, give us both, i like that. I noticed on your other channel when you were shopping with Adwoa the 3rd store you visited they had a nice selection of Nabeel. They are an interesting house. Ive been locating Bharara fragrances on discounters online. Flavia is another house of Sterling (Armaf) that does some nice and affordable frags. I am glad you have a passion for fragrance, Cee, that is what makes you so successful with me as a viewer. I love your tenacious spirt, Cee! ❤

      @CeeChroniclesTalkingScents like every house it's hit and miss. They do their own thing. I was so confused the first time i looked at the many notes they listed on most of their fragrances. Then I realized they play hard ball with accords! That challenged me 😀 get that magnificent nose ready, 'cause Nabeel and Spirit of Dubai is a total olfactory journey 👌

    Cee, I've been watching you for a while. I can't afford the niche perfumes. I'm working class poor. I live from paycheck to paycheck. So I get great ideas to buy scents. And I have a lot of Lattafa scents. I niche rollerball or sprays. That is $30.00 to $50.00. So keep doing what you are doing. And I'll keep watching. ❤❤

    This is the best collaboration we didn't imagine we needed. For those who, for one reason or another, are very open-minded about fragrances regardless of the price and origin, we are very grateful for you two. As an African living in Africa with much more elevated dreams, you are god sent. You two and other content creators with your mentality give us a glimpse of what a wonderful life one could have regardless of your economic status if only you would explore the whole world around you. Thank you.

    Good Afternoon Beauties!
    I noticed that the Middle Eastern fragrances are one that some turn up their nose but again if one does research as you have, they will find that Middle Eastern scents are a treasure box full! You are so great at being thorough, being honest, and still excited when you personally find a scent that makes you smile. You are in a small circle of rare gems, and I, for one, wish that you would receive PR. Not just because you deserve it but because your feedback is critical to the fragrance houses out here! I see the same notes repeat in so many expensive bottles, which lets me know that they need a VOICE, they are pushing scents out for money, and integrity is slowly flying out the window.

    Cece i wish with all my heart and pray that God open doors for you so you can do what you love to do and not worry about finances and not being available to afford the fragrances. And also so you can feel regarded for what you do by this companies that are reaping the harvest you plant. You deserve it. Your subscribers love you and trust you. You are the real deal. Both of you! It seems if you live in africa everything is more difficult! Girls Don't get discourage. Keep the good work! ❤

    Very interesting to hear about the inner workings of TH-cam. I remember finding your channel by searching information about certain fragrances that were on sale in one of our regional internet shops. I think that was often the case with other people too as it is difficult to get samples and often impossible to find the physical shop where to sniff them for free🙂

    Hi ladies thanks for this video, I think even companies like dubai perfume Cafe sponsoring you with fragrance constantly would be nice cause I got to know about them through you and that's where I get my fragrances on monthly bases from them. You gave them a returning customer and you deserve constant supply also but I hope doors open for you ladies ❤❤❤

    This video is so inspiring. Totally agree with Cee and I think it applies to anything you want to do on TH-cam. Don’t do it for the money coz when that money doesn’t come in you will be discouraged. You ladies have introduced me to ME perfumes and just perfumes in general and because of that my collection has grown and I’m learning so much from your experience. I’ve been thinking of also joining the space and this was really motivating.

    This was a great video I really enjoyed it, I also want to add that Cee has a unique personality as well ,it is how she present, she can keep you locked in ,she has a way of communicating that I simply just get it! She could be talking about anything and it's like "oh ok" I listen to Cee not o ly for middle eastern fragrances but also for celebrity or niche and make the determination whether to buy or not. Now for adwa I think she should add some african fashion,jewelry outfits/fragrance of the day etc she would do well I feel!

    Thank you for your wonderful informative videos. I wondered if you could recommend a Turkish delight fragrance (Middle Eastern brand) please that is available readily in the uk? Also can you think of a fragrance that smells like jasmine, when you catch a scent of it in the garden? Thank you again ❤

    • @CeeChroniclesTalkingScents
      @CeeChroniclesTalkingScents  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For the Turkish delight you can try Mancera Roses Vanille dupes like
      Maison Alhambra Montaigne Vanille, Swiss Arabian Florence
      Delina Exclusif dupes like Asdaaf Prive Rose, Armaf Imperiale
      Al Rehab Full is a realistic Jasmine Scent💕

    Thanks for sharing your challenges it explains so much! I ALWAYS wondered why you didn't have any big sponsors! It just didn't make any sense to me that you were only getting the 10% discount from Perfume Parlour, it's their standard rate I've noticed but regardless, to me I was puzzled by it as I thought you were located in tehe UK all these years lol.
    It's true that when I first came across your channel I wasn't sure what direction you were going but I still ended up on your side of YT many times. I'm glad I stuck around, I also remember how your comment section used to be filled with ''you talk so fast'' lmbo! Now I'm used to it.
    I personally think that African content creators located in Africa should focus on getting the attention locally or get known in neighbouring countries, that's how the biggest influencers in Africa operate. Their main focus isn't US/Europe. Maybe there's something else you can do to really target the attention on a local level to get sponsorships and support. Have you ever considered getting a manager? I don't know if it would be the best option for you but maybe having a 1-on-1 with one could give you some other ideas to maximize your opportunities. I'm mainly basing my ideas on western African influencers so maybe things are different on your side. This collaboration as well was awesome, maybe you could next time also @ the name of your guest? What about affiliate marketing btw? I didn't hear you speak on that Amazon is also in some African countries or maybe other companies that offer this?
    All the best to you and God bless!

      👋🏽 hey. Thanx for your comment. first of all l never got any 10% from Perfume Parlour, if they created a code off my video then lm not aware of that. I bought all the Perfume Parlour perfumes with my own money and never even received a free sample. Secondly Iv since sorted a lot of the things you mentioned here.
      A TH-cam Channels top Geographies are what matter when you are a TH-camr (not where you are located) 50% of my viewers are in the USA, 35% are in UK & Europe so it’s not about African countries, my Perfume Genre is an international field and my audience are mostly in countries with disposable income. It’s pointless looking for sponsorship off countries that are not on my watch list. Companies can check Social Blade for that information and sponsor a creator based on that. That’s how it works. On a lighter note most companies did reach out to me after this, all the while they had not because l had never mentioned it.

      @@CeeChroniclesTalkingScents Oh wow! I thought you used to have a 10% code from them I saw it on your channel I thought? But I could be wrong, my apologies.
      I'm learning so much, I really had a different idea from all this but thanks for educating me. It really looks easier than it actually is behind the scenes. What you say makes a lot of sense too that your audience being mainly in the USA,UK and Europe to obviously continue to focus on them.When I typed my comment I was thinking that maybe you could get sponsorship deals from local shopping places for ex.
      I tried to make a ''simple'' TikTok video the other day my goodness, it was terrible! It's probably not that difficult to ''simply'' start but to be consistent and create your own audience? I really do admire you.
      I'm really really glad the companies reached out to you (finally) Your videos are reliable, thorough and you're informative. I hope you get a good deal and that they also will be committed to you.
      Stay blessed beautiful!
      ps.: your friend has really nice earrings, can I ask the info on them? I do live in Europe so maybe I can't even get them but still wanted to ask lol.
