@borntostandout.official: You took money from L'Oréal, so you sold out. Cute. Let me say the thing nobody else will. Without our investors, we’d be broke. Finished. Gone from your sight. Our bottom line is extremely thin, single digits, because I produce our perfume in the most overdosed way & formulation, to make sure you have the best for your buck, and I will continue to refuse to make it any other way. Anyone who tells you fragrance is easy money has obviously never paid a bill for a store, shared department stores its cut, or hired the people who actually sell the stuff. So yes. I took the money. But here is what it actually bought me. It bought me the freedom to stop thinking about money at all. To make exactly what I want, for the people who actually want it. Now read this part slowly, because this is the bit you got wrong. A minority investment means minority. Nobody in Paris signs off on my scents. Nobody is sanding down my edges in some meeting I was not invited to. Think of it like a mortgage on a house. The bank may have funded for the build. But they do not pick the furniture. They do not get a key. The house is mine. The work is mine. It always was. So no, I did not sell out. I bought the freedom to keep doing the exact thing that bothered you enough to type a comment.

Mocof :

Congratulations on your art and entrepreneurship.

scentedstrength_official :

well said! 👏👏 out of all the fragrances that are in my Mecca. I keep on being drawn to BTSO because they give me an adventure, they have a story and they have a soul like I thought that nanatopia was just going to be a beautiful banana fragrance and at the start it tricked me but then I got that amazing caramel accord that is not your typical caramel and the banana turned into a psycho banana in a good way and it gave me the time of my life, like it transformed from a shy and kind and sweet banana to a complete opposite in a good way that was my amazing experience and so many of your fragrances just give me the most amazing stories❤️❤️❤️

TooVuu :

All you say is more reason to support your brand. A true niche fragrance. 🥰

🐐 response!

Dupe World :

"it's just the cost of being in the room". We have not reached the level where we can produce ourselves, we do white label. When you actually do something, you will know the true cost. It can be painfully frustrating.
