TikTok Perfume Reviews: Hype vs. Reality

A recent TikTok video by perfumery student @perfumerism has sparked conversation about the authenticity of popular fragrances. Filmed in what appears to be her home in Canada, the video features several perfumes, including Revel by The Maker, a fragrance she describes as having a 'fake, weird plastic pineapple' scent. "I almost bought a $175 fragrance," she says, highlighting the importance of sampling before purchasing. In contrast, she praised Snif's Gentle Reminder, noting its lovely dry-down, despite a spilled bottle incident. The video concludes with a review of Tom Ford's Eau de Soleil Blanc, which she found to be 'one-dimensional.' The video has garnered significant views and likes, indicating a strong interest in consumer perfume reviews and the authenticity of online fragrance trends.
