For me, this is not a form of validation but it is a form of motivation to fulfill our mission and main purpose as fragrance content creators:

Last week, Mr. Lopena invited the three of us (all of us are doing contents about fragrances) at the Allure Beauty Congress organized by a well known beauty organization, Allure Philippines.

My personal journey with fragrance content creation started way back in the year 2023. ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ, ๐

This is where I learned the basics of speaking in front of the camera. As a camera shy guy and the one who always cringes upon seeing yourself in front of the camera, my bros from Fragrance Talk PH taught me the basics of content creation.
My brother Renz Alcance coined the term,"๐๐ก๐ ๐
๐ซ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ" Ralph Christian Quimson taught me the power of storytelling and Mack Nerida taught me the basics of speaking in front of the camera.
I've been with them for almost two years. The time came (July 2025) when I decided to formally and professionally part ways with Fragrance Talk PH. ๐๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ.
I am still friends with my former groupmates in Fragrance Talk PH even up to this day and I told them that I will always credit them because that is where I started. ๐ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐.
Presently, I am pursuing fragrance content creation with a new set of fragrance brothers (๐๐๐ฎ๐ฑ, ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง, ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ฒ) called ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ ๐
๐ข๐ฏ๐.
Even though I was the first one (out of the five) to pursue content creation, I learned a lot from them and I always take note of their advices. ๐๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฏ๐๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฐ๐๐ข๐๐ฌ.
The thing is, it doesn't matter who came first or last with content creation. As the first one in the group who pursued content creation,๐ ๐๐ก๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ค๐ช๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐๐ฃ๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ค๐ฉ๐๐๐ง๐จ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ฅ๐ช๐ง๐จ๐ช๐ ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ข ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ ๐จ๐ช๐๐๐๐จ๐จ๐๐ช๐ก.

We should also learn to accept constructive criticism but also learn to discerning destructive criticism. Always ask for advices for people who already doing content creation because they know the struggles, challenges and the triumphs associated with it.
This is my mantra as an emerging fragrance content creator:
