Fragrance Deals vs Discussions
Evening Fragrance Community
As always I want to extend my gratitude to everyone who has dropped me a , 153 of you & counting! I can’t stress how much your engagement & support motivates me to enhance & refine the value I can provide.
One point of reflection has been the method & frequency of my posts. To date, I've opted for the streamlined approach. Posting once a day & primarily featuring Notino Fragrance deals. When I have posted multiple deals, often within a short timeframe, these deals have received a disproportionate number of downvotes. I've accepted that high-turnover deals will never align with the HUKD algorithm. Fortunately, I post to provide value to community members like you!
For this reason, I'm leaning towards a weekly discussion thread. When unpackaged or damaged fragrances become available I'll comment to highlight that deal. This way you'll have the opportunity to see a wider range of LIVE deals. Though not perfect (lack of notifications), rapid posts feel on-brand.
If you've expressed interest in a certain fragrance I'll do my utmost to @ you when a deal arises. I can't control when deals come but I've got a good track record at spotting them!
Lastly, If there's a REALLY good deal, I'll give it its own post. In my opinion, individual deals reach the most (new) eyeballs & won't get buried. If you have any thoughts on this approach, let me know!

sorted bySo, it's not just you and it's not personal.
Of course, there's always the possibility that niche / expensive fragrances will be a blind spot for many HUKDers as well. (edited)
You sure know how to make this guy feel special thanks for the kind words
Niche & expensive fragrances don't instinctively go hand in hand with a "deal". As you've said, the site's format has been like this for years so I'm trying to present the deals within that framework.
Frustratingly, the deals Notino has publicly made available have dried up this week. I see and hear things but not many (if any) have gone live to the wider public
