Except that Brittney spears is literally insane. Jeremy does podcasts and interviews pretty regularly. You can easily see he's not on drugs. He barely drinks. Jeremy's older brother has also confirmed this several times.

Hi Dan, I completely agree. This is such a tragedy. I discovered Jeremy during the lockdown. I was hooked by his charisma, charm and enthusiasm. Thanks to him I began my own fragrance journey. However, there is obviously somethig wrong now. I suspect being a fragrance influencer can be a very lonely career. For him the added complication is that he lives in the US away from his native Germany. I wonder if years of effective isolation have played a part in the current situation....
Nope. Other fragrance influencers do not act erratically and obnoxiously as he does lately. Its him. Not the career that drives him out of his element. He is definitely on some Haitian voodoo or Cuban cracks since he moved to Florida from Germany. 😆
Omg same I discovered him during lockdown and although I used to buy and love fragrances, he influenced me even more. Heartbreaking to see him like this 💔
I actually don't think he's on drugs, I honestly think the money and internet fame gave him the green light in his head to be his true self. Before he was putting on an act. This is the real him...
@@MakeLeftistsCryAgain no what ruined him is the girl that sued him, after that he got afraid that same can happen with other girls and he stopped doing the most important videos for him
He puts Christ first even Before his own livelihood… that is technically what the Bible says we should do, and to use our lives as a platform to represent God… that may be why he was blessed right out of the gate and became #1 reviewer… he put God first since day 1… any other quality about him would not be reasonable to Use as credentialsfor his fame
Yes. From what I know he is very lonely. His business decisions distanced him from his brother and family, I believe due to the decline of his image and reputation, he is struggling to gain as much female attention as he used to, his pets have died. He made very outlandish videos to gain views on TikTok, sacrificing his original charming sense of humour and entire image.
Have you seen his recent videos talking to random women? They still swoon over him lol. He's got no problem finding women, a guy that rich and popular ( in Germany) has more problems finding genuine love over just another model girlfriend that's with him for his money and fame. Like the man said it's lonely at the top.
Also we don't know exactly what happened between him and his brother to sour the relationship, we've no idea who was at fault so laying blame at Jeremy's feet is a bit much. What we do know is his brother is no Brad Pitt and his finances seem to hinge a lot on Jeremy's success. He has his own channel where he posts videos as; "JEREMY FRANCANCES BROTHER REVIEWS CREED AVENTUS" lol. His claim to fame is literally just being the brother of Jeremy fragrance and even went on other channels to drag his brother through the mud while Jeremy took the high road and has stayed relatively quite on the matter.
I totally share your worries for Jeremy. After his pionniered success in fragrances he does now look like a lost soul. I sincerely hope his entourages step up and give him the help he needs .
I think his success led him into some dark circles that exposed him to things that messed up his mind. I suspect that's why he now "follows the teachings of Jesus."
@@TheHispanicJukeBox His brother - who was helping him with his fragrance line - has a video channel... I think he explained how things became difficult between him and Jeremy, the way he managed his business, etc...
I think he exhibits mania which can be associated with bipolar disorder. I also think he abuses substances which he likely would not admit to doing. The impulsivity, the lack of grooming, they can go along with both mania and substance abuse. I saw one of his videos where he was visibly irritated and basically said because he was a millionaire he could do whatever he wanted. But I don't think he can control himself and therein lies the difference: he's not just wealthy and laid back about working; I think you're seeing the best he can do under the circumstances. From what his brother has said it sounds like no one can tell Jeremy anything and in the US, as long as he is not a harm to himself or others, he can be as crazy as he wants to be and his family can do nothing about it. Religiosity can be a part of mental illness, too; although I will say this about being a Christian. One isn't a Christian part-time. To be a Christian, in my experience, is to know (or to find out very quickly) that not everyone will like you just because of that; not everyone will want to have anything to do with you because of that; and you might find the door to opportunities shut in your face. If Jeremy were losing viewers or sponsorships because he professes his faith, he should be willing to accept that. I saw your point, of course; but thought I would clarify that about people who really are Christians, and I do think he is a Christian. But I also think he is suffering a serious mental illness and I hope his family is watching and waiting for the opportunity to help him if he ever has a moment of enough clarity to ask for help.
Just to add another interesting thread to the fact that he has in the past talked or explained many times that he is not gay, like if anybody cared what he likes, but why does he have the tendency to try and clear that out with such insistence?
I got a chance to hang out with him recently in Miami. Spent almost a full week with him in the same house (as a guest of his) that was rented out by Al Haramain who sponsored his trip for Cosmoprof. I have a high respect for Jeremy. I don’t believe he does drugs. He’s also quite sharp and has a good head on his shoulders. The person he is off camera is different than the person the world sees on camera. The world only sees what Jeremy wants the world to see. Yes his method of expressing himself is unconventional. Yes, it can look erratic, weird, controversial and cringy at times but ultimately it’s what gets views. This is what is helping gain such a huge following and so he’s sticking to this method of expressing himself. The reason he deletes videos often is because if the video doesn’t get a certain amount of likes or comments within a short period of time he doesn’t consider it to potentially become viral and if it doesn’t go viral within minutes or an hour or two, it’s gone. He’s in full control over what he wants people to see. He knows what he’s doing and while it may look strange to us, it’s blowing him up on all the socials. If you’re talking about him now, then what he’s doing is working. Would you still be talking about him today if he continued to be the same Jeremy from 5 years ago? He is constantly reinventing himself and while it looks bizarre to the rest of the world, we somehow found a way to consume his content and we somehow can’t stop watching. What crazy weird thing will he do next? Makes you want to come back for more doesn’t it? As for the comment about him not having friend or maybe he’s lonely. He is very careful who he surrounds himself with and who he opens up to. He guards his heart almost to a fault but that’s also because he’s been burnt by people he trusted in the past. From the 3-4 days I spent in the house with him, he’s calm when he needs to be, he’s energic when he needs to be and he’s sharp as a tack. He’s super healthy, he takes good care of himself and he is a great guy. I wouldn’t worry about him but if you care about him, send him more positivity and if you pray or meditate, keep him in your prayers.
Underrated comment. I hope this comment gets more visibility. Everyone who has never met Jeremy tries to act like an expert on his behaviour. Joe thank you for sharing. Jeremy needs more people like you who got his back. God bless you.
It’s his choice if he wants to attract publicity no matter what. But he comes accross as weird, erratic and less of an authority in perfumes as he has been wandering in the realm of ridicule. People have lost respect for him.
If this guy is not on drugs then there is something far worse and more sinister wrong with him for him to naturally look the way he does physically at only 35 years old,honestly I hope it's just the drugs and not something worse.
It's tragic to see what happens with him. Never been a big fan, but it seems like he has serious problems. I wish him all the best, and that he gets back on track.
@@snortchgortch4253 True. But it's still sad to see anybody displaying mental health problems for everybody to see. It looks like a cry for help to me.
@@snortchgortch4253 His own brother has a channel where he talked about Jeremy's behavior... pretty sure his friends and close ones are not the ones to blame. He did this to himself.
Psychology student here: Jeremy *possibly* mental health issues, however it can be mental exhaustion, sleep issues, over doing it long term Could be a lot of things, even medications/substances affecting him He seems troubled/detached/uninterested from his old self from older video persona, but it may have just been a online mask and now he is unable to keep it going Thats the run down Hopefully he stays well and happy as possible
He just seems like a guy trying to find a purpose. He's lived quite a life. From being in a boy band, to being the biggest fragrance youtuber, to having his own fragrance brand.Sometimes people feel empty after achieving certain goals. It's also possible he made fuck you money and just does whatever he feels like now. We can't really know.
Bow Tie Fragrance Guy did a similar video about a year ago, he was really worried about Jeremy behavior and suggesting the followers of Jeremy to ask to him get profesional help.
I agree with you Mr. Smelly. I get exactly what you are saying! And i think it's really sincere and nice of you to genuinely be concerned. I love the fact that you are not mocking him but very much concerned. You just maybe the only person in that industry who is concerned. And I think it could be a problem with his sponsors. I wish him the absolute very best with everything. He just maybe is lonely and maybe he needs to take time and take care of his mental health also.
He’s realised he can make more money on TikTok and Snapchat and changed his style to suit. He just seems sick of fragrance reviews and I don’t blame him. He’s done 100s of top 10 etc and there’s only so many times you can do it
We all need that 1 person who is gonna tell us the real deal and keep us grounded. Someone who knew us before the fame when we used to eat grilled cheese sandwiches and pb & j (when we were poor). That person isn’t in his life anymore.
Jeremy's been through some troubling times early on..his new found faith may be what's keeping him from going completely over the edge. Let's give him some grace.
You articulate my exact feelings. He was the first TH-camr in the fragrance world that I followed years ago and now you see him and it seems like you’re watching a slow motion train wreck. It’s all very sad. 😢
I think you have here really good review of what is going on and your concerns are on the point. Lets hope and pray him better future and happiness and that he would have good people around him and not the bad ones.
It looks like a sign of severe burnout which is common to OG youtubers/influencers. If not, maybe he has developed memory issues which can happen even when you're young especially those who experienced past traumas. I hope am wrong.
Or if he is using. I do not want to falsely accuse but having worked with so many addicts you see patterns and the immense change from his early professional style.
I only found videos by Jeremy today. Watching the video you shared gave me chills. I had no idea he was so popular. Hope he has someone who will speak truth to him. Also, I hope he is humble enough to listen. I believe it is important to point this out. Thank you.
Id like to suggest he could be fighting pain? I only watched this one video, but it might be why he mentioned spirituality of the start. He could be very ill.
I use to follow him. He has lead me to many great fragrances. But I took a break as my collection is ridiculous. But been getting back into it. He is not the same.
Pretty sad, his passion and love for frags got soo many ppl me included into fragrances but its been evident for a while hes been unwell whether its drugs too or mental health or both i hope he gets some help and has some support, he seems very much on his own
For anyone who had their own business you should know that it is very draining. He does look exhausted and probably is. I can see that it is very difficult for him to stop and have a time for himself. Wish him all the best
It's obvious Jeremy's sick of playing the fragrance game and would rather do something else, but the problem is that talking about fragrances is all he's known for, so he can't just quit. His popularity and cash flow would run dry very quickly. So he's stuck in a love/hate relationship with fragrances and it's literally driving him insane.
Good appraisal of the situation! He probably wants to move on, but he's built up that nice residual income and may have financial obligations of some sort..
His behaviour it’s a mix of abuse caffeine and narcissistic behaviour, look the movie the aviator, it’s about the same syndrome, they are falling off damn hard but they still think they are the best or so , Jeremy it’s clearly developing a real schizoid episode
Luke 10 18 says that Satan fell from heaven like lightning. However, Acts 9 3 tells us of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus where God surrounded Paul with lightning as He radically transformed him.
@@veritasvincit2745 Acts9-3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven. King James version
Thanks for making this and articulating your thoughts. As someone who’s watched Jeremy’s videos since 2014, I am similarly saddened and worried for this new version of Jeremy
Am happy someone addresses it..he's jus wired theses day..not the Jeremy we used to..we need back the old journey..his videos these day jus makes zero scents..I don't really watch him these days..something is wrong tho
I think Jeremy is far beyond the fragrance reviews, now he is popular outside of fragcom (at least in his country) so his income is not just his channel or his brand so he do not need to generate great content to be popular... but I do agree these kind of videos are odd and he looks messy... changing topic, when are you planning to release your new fragrance? I think you mentioned that's going to be a fresh fragrance for the hot weather I guess... great video Dan!
I do agree but what I'm trying to say is that business wise his channel and his brand are now in a secondary place so he is not anymore worried about views and/or subscribers @@LetsGetitBoah
Jeremy was the first TH-cam fragrance reviewer I ever watched when I started wearing cologne again for the first time in twenty years. Him and Gents Scent got me back smelling great again.
I also stopped watching him about 2 years ago. I got tired of him spamming my subscribed list by Posting 5-10-20 videos/day almost the same list, no extra information, and regrettably all his favourite perfumes were headache inducing sickly sweet for me, and had the feeling he got stuck with teenager taste (esp. for women) and coundn’t develope.
His brother said he isn't political at all and that was just a misguided decision. He may benefit from a 7 day (at least) perfume detox. Wish him the very best, as you said, the fragrance community owes a lot to him. The number 1 top fragrance: Fresh air : would work wonders for him. He is a one-off.🤩🤪🌟....and he will work things out..❤
I think what you said is about right - I feel the same , there seems to be something right under the surface ready to emerge any time. I’ve always loved J for who he is - all the passion and craziness included ,but he’s not the same person .. it’s become old - the fragrance thing . I think he needs new direction. Interesting vid tho , Nice one 👍
I'm new to fragrance and I started watching lots of videos on the topic recently. What I don't understand is how his face looks completely different within a span of 2 years. He looks like he has aged 20 years in two years. I would compare it to how frozen meat would go bad really quick if after defrosting compared to a fresh meat. Is there a certain age someone just ages faster?
Interesting you put this out. I've studied psychic phenomenon for years so I've learned to be observant.i saw a few seconds of him in a video and for a split second he was lost in his eyes. He's 😔 life can be tough
Mentioning Jesus is more than ok (it alinenates only the intolerant ones, fine), but then Jesus is followed by fragrance list as if Jesus was another fragrance which makes it all an embarassing mess.
All I can say is that I will pray for him, because I worry about his mental health, and I say this as a Christian. He seems terribly troubled. My heart goes out to him.
I think someone said he was abused when he was in a boy band back in the 90’s or 2000’s in Germany 🥲 plus a whole host of other trauma 💔 I think the repressed trauma is bubbling up now. He used to use drugs and alcohol to suppress his trauma. my heart breaks for him 💔🥺 on the slightly brighter side he looks healthier and calmer than before. Praying deeply for him 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊️✝️
I started seeing videos from Jeremy back in pandemic time and those were very well made with guests... sharp dressing and looks. Now he doesn't even care of making content with the quality that his subs size channel deserves. You not wrong...he started to decline and on a very sad way.
It’s my belief that he has done so many reviews so many top-five list so many top 10 lists so many worst fragrances lists he’s tired of this subject. I mean pick any topic even one that you love and you’re very passionate about there’s such a thing as too much, I think the behavioural change in his videos is simply born out of tiredness of the same subjects over and over !
Well said sir.. I give him credit for starting me on the journey to the fragrance world. Nice GMT, as well. Perhaps after I acquire that one "last" fragrance.
Nothing strange about this. He went from being a person living for the flesh to now being a person living of the holy spirit. You would know if you were in his shoes. Eternal life is the best and he now knows this.
POWER. Jeremy is THE KING. Jeremy is The God Of Love. POWER. I am standing here naked basking in the Greatness That Is Jeremy. It is time to take my meds now. POWER
Often, when someone rapidly becomes successful, wealthy or famous, then one day after climbing to the top of the hill, they suddenly find themselves sliding down a fast & slippery slope, their mind can't handle not being at the top anymore & they are unable to see reality clearly & create their own reality inside their mind while on the outside they fall apart.
I used to love him, but unfortunately, I couldn't make sense of his fragrance recommendations over the past year as I once did. He looks bored & tired now. But wish him all the best of luck
Jeremy is the bizarrely unique combination of Polish Christian post Warsaw pact neo-Slavic/Catholic nationalist meets German post WWII moral relativism gone wild, hedonism....it's no wonder he struggles so much with identity and narcissism, very hard to navigate two contrasting cultural legacies.
I stopped watching his vlogs because it was becoming uncomfortable. The content is not how it was years ago, I learnt a lot from him, but now just a bit strange. So sad.
I know it may sound crazy, but his content is still very interesting. It has a wider appeal with this chaotic, stream of consciousness approach. I think he is just experimenting. I wouldnt be worried.
He isn't a drug addict or alcoholic. Definitely he have some issue with his mental health. We know he has struggled in the past because he accused to have a sexual harassment issue. Maybe he is on antidepressant or anti anxiety treatment and I think he is on a wrong medication or he just might to have to quit from it.
Exactly what I thought. People see him acting all speedy and twitchy and think that’s drugs. No that’s literally mania. If you know anyone with severe mental health issues, you see them act this way. Aka Ryan Garcia who also out of nowhere is super religious and his face got really fat and weird looking compared to his past. Now does that mean he isn’t also heavily drinking? No, that could also be an issue. And yes people forget to talk about the sexual assault issue he had that he talked about for a while where he thought he was going to jail and his life was going to end. Or the other videos where he says he did gay things with men who drugged him or something . Either he’s just totally manic and made those things up( that’s the beginning of when he started going downhill), or he’s been through a lot and he’s lost his mind cause of it. It’s like what came first, the chicken or the egg? What came first, his serious mental health issues or the other crazy stuff that brought him into having these issues .
He actually doesn’t look in great physical condition FOR HIM. For most men maybe but he has been getting a belly. I am not saying this is bad but pointing out that along with his hair, facial expressions mental state this is another sign that is a change from his former self.
Did you notice that in the mirror in is the face of Jeramy? And his expression is exactly what you were saying here. I personally think he’s just playing the TikTok game in very clunky way, but it works for him. And he’s lost too. The only think he have now is money, and million of people who doesn’t care about him. Such a loss! Waisted potential and bright future.
You're talking about him right? With a really catchy title to boot! He's either crazy, or he does whatever to gain attention and get people talking, or a combination of both. This is literally the first time i clicked anything to do with Jeremy in years.. It worked.
Jeremy is at a point where he feels if he's a true believer of the Lord Jesus Christ he must use his platform to confess and reach out despite what people like you may think or if he loses fans who cares as long as he's acknowledging GOD... I love it
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.„ Matthew 7:18-19, 21 KJV
His behavior is not the behavior of a true Christian, of course people think if that means being a Christian and following Jesus then I definitely don't want that for myself, knowing Jesus doesn't mean losing yourself but really knowing yourself and Becoming like Jesus is what happens when you are born again and the Holy Spirit transforms you into the image of Jesus in sanctification. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.„ Matthew 7:21 KJV

Tbh I'm starting to feel sorry for Jeremy,he may have money but he seems to be going off the rails ,better for him to get off YT and find himself again, forget the gurus because they don't care .
Perfect timing for this vid to show up in my feed; I got back in the fragrance game the same year Jeremy started YT, so i watched him in his hallway and enjoyed his content with the girls, etc. I just had one of his live feeds on pause, to come back and find it deleted, now discovering he dows this a lot. I know people rag on him about drugs, but i think he's both a marketing genius, burned out from the influencer endless grind (it's hard work, a pain, simetimes you have to have new content constantly to get the algorithms to work) and is just on autopilot. The jesus bus stuff is strange, I'm an atheist. His longer hair looks great and his vibe is always positive. He's a bit of a phenomenon.
Burnout is a combination of feeling exhausted. Feeling negative about (or less connected to) the work or activity you're doing. And a feeling of reduced performance.
I think he's genuinely tired of the whole thing. But he doesn't know how to stop.
I reckon he joined Andrew Tate looney club 🤣
Agreed
Definitely he cant be arsed. He can't stop cos he likes the fame and knows its the only thing that gets him attention
"he doesn't know how to stop". Just stop...😂 It's really that simple.🤷🏿♂️

More likely that the internet fame made him insane. There's plenty of people that becomes insane due to being famous.

Yes, it can look erratic, weird, controversial and cringy at times but ultimately it’s what gets views. This is what is helping gain such a huge following and so he’s sticking to this method of expressing himself. The reason he deletes videos often is because if the video doesn’t get a certain amount of likes or comments within a short period of time he doesn’t consider it to potentially become viral and if it doesn’t go viral within minutes or an hour or two, it’s gone. He’s in full control over what he wants people to see. He knows what he’s doing and while it may look strange to us, it’s blowing him up on all the socials. If you’re talking about him now, then what he’s doing is working. Would you still be talking about him today if he continued to be the same Jeremy from 5 years ago? He is constantly reinventing himself and while it looks bizarre to the rest of the world, we somehow found a way to consume his content and we somehow can’t stop watching. What crazy weird thing will he do next? Makes you want to come back for more doesn’t it? As for the comment about him not having friend or maybe he’s lonely. He is very careful who he surrounds himself with and who he opens up to. He guards his heart almost to a fault but that’s also because he’s been burnt by people he trusted in the past. From the 3-4 days I spent in the house with him, he’s calm when he needs to be, he’s energic when he needs to be and he’s sharp as a tack. He’s super healthy, he takes good care of himself and he is a great guy. I wouldn’t worry about him but if you care about him, send him more positivity and if you pray or meditate, keep him in your prayers.
Underrated comment. I hope this comment gets more visibility.
Everyone who has never met Jeremy tries to act like an expert on his behaviour.
Joe thank you for sharing. Jeremy needs more people like you who got his back. God bless you.
@@theboyisso6960 thank you! I hope so too. I meant every word, spoke the honest to God truth and it came from the heart. 🙏🏼
Guess you joined him on his drug journeys! You are just hunting for gold down in the sewer :)
It’s his choice if he wants to attract publicity no matter what. But he comes accross as weird, erratic and less of an authority in perfumes as he has been wandering in the realm of ridicule. People have lost respect for him.
If this guy is not on drugs then there is something far worse and more sinister wrong with him for him to naturally look the way he does physically at only 35 years old,honestly I hope it's just the drugs and not something worse.
It's tragic to see what happens with him. Never been a big fan, but it seems like he has serious problems. I wish him all the best, and that he gets back on track.
Mental breakdown in public - where are his friends to look after him?
All his friends bailed when he charged all his friends full price on his Date scent.
You mean “friends”. Most can barely count real friends on one hand.
@@snortchgortch4253 True. But it's still sad to see anybody displaying mental health problems for everybody to see. It looks like a cry for help to me.
@@snortchgortch4253 His own brother has a channel where he talked about Jeremy's behavior... pretty sure his friends and close ones are not the ones to blame. He did this to himself.
He has a great brother who has tried to help him and jeremy doesn't accept the help from anyone
“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” 🦇
Psychology student here:
Jeremy *possibly* mental health issues, however it can be mental exhaustion, sleep issues, over doing it long term
Could be a lot of things, even medications/substances affecting him
He seems troubled/detached/uninterested from his old self from older video persona, but it may have just been a online mask and now he is unable to keep it going
Thats the run down
Hopefully he stays well and happy as possible
He just seems like a guy trying to find a purpose. He's lived quite a life. From being in a boy band, to being the biggest fragrance youtuber, to having his own fragrance brand.Sometimes people feel empty after achieving certain goals.
It's also possible he made fuck you money and just does whatever he feels like now. We can't really know.
I think Jeremy just needs some genuine friends and family. Reconciling with his brother might be a good idea. I wish Jeremy all the best
Bow Tie Fragrance Guy did a similar video about a year ago, he was really worried about Jeremy behavior and suggesting the followers of Jeremy to ask to him get profesional help.
I agree with you Mr. Smelly. I get exactly what you are saying! And i think it's really sincere and nice of you to genuinely be concerned. I love the fact that you are not mocking him but very much concerned. You just maybe the only person in that industry who is concerned. And I think it could be a problem with his sponsors. I wish him the absolute very best with everything. He just maybe is lonely and maybe he needs to take time and take care of his mental health also.
Honest and fair video. Let's hope Jeremys doing well and whatever is not going good with himself or his life gets in order again.
He’s realised he can make more money on TikTok and Snapchat and changed his style to suit. He just seems sick of fragrance reviews and I don’t blame him. He’s done 100s of top 10 etc and there’s only so many times you can do it
Comparing his older videos, about 5 years ago or so, to now, it just like comparing night to day, totally different and unstable.
He was quite eccentric from near the start but now if you told me he had genuinely lost his mind I'd believe you.
its called drugs. if you dont see it its obvious you dont know a thing about drugs
Facts
We all need that 1 person who is gonna tell us the real deal and keep us grounded. Someone who knew us before the fame when we used to eat grilled cheese sandwiches and pb & j (when we were poor).
That person isn’t in his life anymore.
He needs our prayers, i really enjoyed watchimg him
❤
Tiktok is the best weapon to turn people to an asshole
Jeremy's been through some troubling times early on..his new found faith may be what's keeping him from going completely over the edge. Let's give him some grace.
Absolutely.
You articulate my exact feelings. He was the first TH-camr in the fragrance world that I followed years ago and now you see him and it seems like you’re watching a slow motion train wreck. It’s all very sad. 😢
👌🏻👍🏻
I think you have here really good review of what is going on and your concerns are on the point. Lets hope and pray him better future and happiness and that he would have good people around him and not the bad ones.
It looks like a sign of severe burnout which is common to OG youtubers/influencers. If not, maybe he has developed memory issues which can happen even when you're young especially those who experienced past traumas. I hope am wrong.
Nutritional deficiencies does that, not memory problem
Or if he is using. I do not want to falsely accuse but having worked with so many addicts you see patterns and the immense change from his early professional style.
I only found videos by Jeremy today. Watching the video you shared gave me chills. I had no idea he was so popular. Hope he has someone who will speak truth to him. Also, I hope he is humble enough to listen. I believe it is important to point this out. Thank you.
He probably just doesn’t want to do fragrance content anymore and is seeing how long he can drag it out without really having to put any work into it
I actually like Jeremy, as weird as he is lol. He keeps it honest and doesn’t care to please people as long as he is happy.
Id like to suggest he could be fighting pain? I only watched this one video, but it might be why he mentioned spirituality of the start. He could be very ill.
@@pseudoscientist8010 he definitely fighting some demons. Sounds like he went through a lot during his boy band days.
@@TheHomieTitzclassic signs of childhood abuse. Lost souls.
I use to follow him. He has lead me to many great fragrances. But I took a break as my collection is ridiculous. But been getting back into it. He is not the same.
Pretty sad, his passion and love for frags got soo many ppl me included into fragrances but its been evident for a while hes been unwell whether its drugs too or mental health or both i hope he gets some help and has some support, he seems very much on his own
For anyone who had their own business you should know that it is very draining. He does look exhausted and probably is. I can see that it is very difficult for him to stop and have a time for himself. Wish him all the best
I am glad you called attention to him. He is in desperate need of an intervention
Yes, yes and yes. Thank you for this considerate video. I hope Jeremy will let people help him 😐
Smelling glue instead of perfume
It's obvious Jeremy's sick of playing the fragrance game and would rather do something else, but the problem is that talking about fragrances is all he's known for, so he can't just quit. His popularity and cash flow would run dry very quickly. So he's stuck in a love/hate relationship with fragrances and it's literally driving him insane.
Good appraisal of the situation! He probably wants to move on, but he's built up that nice residual income and may have financial obligations of some sort..
He looks strung out.
His behaviour it’s a mix of abuse caffeine and narcissistic behaviour, look the movie the aviator, it’s about the same syndrome, they are falling off damn hard but they still think they are the best or so , Jeremy it’s clearly developing a real schizoid episode
Abuse when he was in the boy band broke him. He has managed to paper it over, but only for a time. Tragic. I’ll pray for him.
Maybe that and the r**e accusation he faced and talked about openly on one of his videos may have affected his mental health
He mentioned Jesus and then said I'm struck with lightening. Who fell to earth as a bolt of lightening?
Luke 10 18 says that Satan fell from heaven like lightning.
However, Acts 9 3 tells us of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus where God surrounded Paul with lightning as He radically transformed him.
@@veritasvincit2745 Acts9-3
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven.

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven.

Maybe spiritual warfare
Hmmm something is definitely wrong. Very strange especially the pauses
Thanks for making this and articulating your thoughts. As someone who’s watched Jeremy’s videos since 2014, I am similarly saddened and worried for this new version of Jeremy
Am happy someone addresses it..he's jus wired theses day..not the Jeremy we used to..we need back the old journey..his videos these day jus makes zero scents..I don't really watch him these days..something is wrong tho
I think Jeremy is far beyond the fragrance reviews, now he is popular outside of fragcom (at least in his country) so his income is not just his channel or his brand so he do not need to generate great content to be popular... but I do agree these kind of videos are odd and he looks messy... changing topic, when are you planning to release your new fragrance? I think you mentioned that's going to be a fresh fragrance for the hot weather I guess... great video Dan!
Maybe, but he doesn't really get that many views.
I do agree but what I'm trying to say is that business wise his channel and his brand are now in a secondary place so he is not anymore worried about views and/or subscribers @@LetsGetitBoah
@@fernandosoto5824 yeah but he’s seriously tarnishing his image and his own brand. He’s completely crazy
Mr Smelly, maybe you could ring him and give him some fatherly advice, You never know, he might actually listen to a fellow addict like yourself?
Haha thanks good idea
Jeremy was doing the list from something he memorised and he just forgot. You can see the moment where he first has trouble with remembering.
Jeremy was the greatest at what he did. He peaked and there were no more challenges. He created too much envy and haters. I wish him well!
Jeremy was the first TH-cam fragrance reviewer I ever watched when I started wearing cologne again for the first time in twenty years. Him and Gents Scent got me back smelling great again.
He doesn't have sponsored vids, but I think most (if not all) of the links in his video descriptions are affiliate links.
From Informative . Entertaining.Amusing. Captivating ...... To Absurd ,Dull and Controversial ??
Jeremy is the Kanye of the fragrance world
Totally agree ! I've not watched his videos for a while !
I also stopped watching him about 2 years ago. I got tired of him spamming my subscribed list by Posting 5-10-20 videos/day almost the same list, no extra information, and regrettably all his favourite perfumes were headache inducing sickly sweet for me, and had the feeling he got stuck with teenager taste (esp. for women) and coundn’t develope.
His brother said he isn't political at all and that was just a misguided decision. He may benefit from a 7 day (at least) perfume detox. Wish him the very best, as you said, the fragrance community owes a lot to him. The number 1 top fragrance: Fresh air : would work wonders for him. He is a one-off.🤩🤪🌟....and he will work things out..❤
I think what you said is about right - I feel the same , there seems to be something right under the surface ready to emerge any time. I’ve always loved J for who he is - all the passion and craziness included ,but he’s not the same person .. it’s become old - the fragrance thing . I think he needs new direction. Interesting vid tho , Nice one 👍
I'm new to fragrance and I started watching lots of videos on the topic recently. What I don't understand is how his face looks completely different within a span of 2 years. He looks like he has aged 20 years in two years. I would compare it to how frozen meat would go bad really quick if after defrosting compared to a fresh meat. Is there a certain age someone just ages faster?
I thought he was in his 40s ,he has aged
he ruins his skin by tanning
Let’s pray for Jeremy.
Interesting you put this out. I've studied psychic phenomenon for years so I've learned to be observant.i saw a few seconds of him in a video and for a split second he was lost in his eyes. He's 😔 life can be tough
have you reviewed the original Polo? I did not see that in your previous reviews. Good job, by the way.
He has. He also reviewed an older bottle if I'm remembering correctly.
Mentioning Jesus is more than ok (it alinenates only the intolerant ones, fine), but then Jesus is followed by fragrance list as if Jesus was another fragrance which makes it all an embarassing mess.
I wasn’t expecting the first criticism to be of his Christianity…
All I can say is that I will pray for him, because I worry about his mental health, and I say this as a Christian. He seems terribly troubled. My heart goes out to him.
Jeremy has tremendous work ethic, as do you Dan. I wish nothing but love and positivity for you both! Matthew, from Meleg Perfumes ❤
He's clearly unwell.
I think someone said he was abused when he was in a boy band back in the 90’s or 2000’s in Germany 🥲 plus a whole host of other trauma 💔 I think the repressed trauma is bubbling up now. He used to use drugs and alcohol to suppress his trauma. my heart breaks for him 💔🥺 on the slightly brighter side he looks healthier and calmer than before. Praying deeply for him 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🕊️✝️
I think hes gay also. But hiding
I started seeing videos from Jeremy back in pandemic time and those were very well made with guests... sharp dressing and looks. Now he doesn't even care of making content with the quality that his subs size channel deserves. You not wrong...he started to decline and on a very sad way.
It’s my belief that he has done so many reviews so many top-five list so many top 10 lists so many worst fragrances lists he’s tired of this subject. I mean pick any topic even one that you love and you’re very passionate about there’s such a thing as too much, I think the behavioural change in his videos is simply born out of tiredness of the same subjects over and over !
Well said sir..
I give him credit for starting me on the journey to the fragrance world.
Nice GMT, as well. Perhaps after I acquire that one "last" fragrance.
I remember him saying " this people eat babies and they are drinking blood " have you seen that video?
Nothing strange about this. He went from being a person living for the flesh to now being a person living of the holy spirit. You would know if you were in his shoes. Eternal life is the best and he now knows this.
Year!! Not everyone can handle success & money without losing their sanity
Bro thinks he is Patrick Bateman 💀💀💀
for real :))))))
😂😂😂😂
POWER. Jeremy is THE KING. Jeremy is The God Of Love. POWER. I am standing here naked basking in the Greatness That Is Jeremy. It is time to take my meds now. POWER
I'm glad u talked Abt it and in good manner , I'm just worried . . . And also ok with this than he could possibly be completely vanisheda.
Often, when someone rapidly becomes successful, wealthy or famous, then one day after climbing to the top of the hill, they suddenly find themselves sliding down a fast & slippery slope, their mind can't handle not being at the top anymore & they are unable to see reality clearly & create their own reality inside their mind while on the outside they fall apart.
I used to love him, but unfortunately, I couldn't make sense of his fragrance recommendations over the past year as I once did. He looks bored & tired now. But wish him all the best of luck
Jeremy is the bizarrely unique combination of Polish Christian post Warsaw pact neo-Slavic/Catholic nationalist meets German post WWII moral relativism gone wild, hedonism....it's no wonder he struggles so much with identity and narcissism, very hard to navigate two contrasting cultural legacies.
Lovely vintage perfumes. Was hoping new ones like Eau Sauvage 2012 would make the list.
I stopped watching his vlogs because it was becoming uncomfortable. The content is not how it was years ago, I learnt a lot from him, but now just a bit strange. So sad.
I know it may sound crazy, but his content is still very interesting. It has a wider appeal with this chaotic, stream of consciousness approach.
I think he is just experimenting. I wouldnt be worried.
He isn't a drug addict or alcoholic. Definitely he have some issue with his mental health. We know he has struggled in the past because he accused to have a sexual harassment issue.
Maybe he is on antidepressant or anti anxiety treatment and I think he is on a wrong medication or he just might to have to quit from it.
Exactly what I thought. People see him acting all speedy and twitchy and think that’s drugs. No that’s literally mania. If you know anyone with severe mental health issues, you see them act this way. Aka Ryan Garcia who also out of nowhere is super religious and his face got really fat and weird looking compared to his past. Now does that mean he isn’t also heavily drinking? No, that could also be an issue. And yes people forget to talk about the sexual assault issue he had that he talked about for a while where he thought he was going to jail and his life was going to end. Or the other videos where he says he did gay things with men who drugged him or something . Either he’s just totally manic and made those things up( that’s the beginning of when he started going downhill), or he’s been through a lot and he’s lost his mind cause of it. It’s like what came first, the chicken or the egg? What came first, his serious mental health issues or the other crazy stuff that brought him into having these issues .
He actually doesn’t look in great physical condition FOR HIM. For most men maybe but he has been getting a belly. I am not saying this is bad but pointing out that along with his hair, facial expressions mental state this is another sign that is a change from his former self.
I don't know what's going on with him. I won't speculate. I will wish him the best in his quest for finding a meaningful life. ❤
I think your assessment is pretty good. I'm sorry for him.
Did you notice that in the mirror in is the face of Jeramy? And his expression is exactly what you were saying here.
I personally think he’s just playing the TikTok game in very clunky way, but it works for him. And he’s lost too. The only think he have now is money, and million of people who doesn’t care about him. Such a loss! Waisted potential and bright future.
You're talking about him right? With a really catchy title to boot! He's either crazy, or he does whatever to gain attention and get people talking, or a combination of both. This is literally the first time i clicked anything to do with Jeremy in years.. It worked.
Personality, maybe some mental health issues??? Not necessarily drugs… who knows!! I wish Him the best ❤
Success got to him. Some can handle it, but most can't.
Jeremy is at a point where he feels if he's a true believer of the Lord Jesus Christ he must use his platform to confess and reach out despite what people like you may think or if he loses fans who cares as long as he's acknowledging GOD... I love it
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.„
Matthew 7:18-19, 21 KJV
His behavior is not the behavior of a true Christian, of course people think if that means being a Christian and following Jesus then I definitely don't want that for myself, knowing Jesus doesn't mean losing yourself but really knowing yourself and Becoming like Jesus is what happens when you are born again and the Holy Spirit transforms you into the image of Jesus in sanctification. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.„
Matthew 7:21 KJV
@@rolandthanksjesus4733 Its not your job to judge this man's relationship with God you are not perfect ALSO you follow his page... Fake Christians quick to judge instead of praying for those in need of prayer..
Tbh I'm starting to feel sorry for Jeremy,he may have money but he seems to be going off the rails ,better for him to get off YT and find himself again, forget the gurus because they don't care .
Perfect timing for this vid to show up in my feed; I got back in the fragrance game the same year Jeremy started YT, so i watched him in his hallway and enjoyed his content with the girls, etc. I just had one of his live feeds on pause, to come back and find it deleted, now discovering he dows this a lot. I know people rag on him about drugs, but i think he's both a marketing genius, burned out from the influencer endless grind (it's hard work, a pain, simetimes you have to have new content constantly to get the algorithms to work) and is just on autopilot. The jesus bus stuff is strange, I'm an atheist. His longer hair looks great and his vibe is always positive. He's a bit of a phenomenon.
Burnout is a combination of feeling exhausted. Feeling negative about (or less connected to) the work or activity you're doing. And a feeling of reduced performance.
Jeremy was reformulated
I am so glad to hear that he has found Jesus! Great news!
