Two things happen when you step out of your house smelling like a million bucks or cheap perfume: you care about how you smell, and you give several fucks about what people think of how you smell.
Whether the perfume hits the mark or not is another conversation, and that’s where we come in. What exactly does your fragrance say about you? Does it scream rich AF or “Don’t suffocate us?” Let’s get into it.
The lingerer
You think it’s cool that your scent announces your arrival and lingers long after you’ve left. News flash: it’s giving room freshener vibes. Do better.
The oud master
It doesn’t matter that you spent over ₦100k on a perfume called Al Mousef or Jabbarudeen; anyone who comes in contact with you assumes you’re a walking piece of spiritual incense.
Touch and go
This perfume says you respect people’s noses. It teases their senses when they’re close but doesn’t rudely stick around after you’ve left the room. Gotta stan a considerate king or queen.
The floral desperado
You’re drawn to perfumes that smell like edible roses, lilies and jasmine and blush hard at comments like “You smell so sweet”. If no one’s ever told you, your scent high-key tells people you’re a hopeless romantic looking for love where you won’t find it.
The carpenter
You skip, skip, skip, and fall on your knees when you see perfumes with wood, leather and coffee scents, thinking they exude confidence and sophistication. Spoiler: you smell like another regular Joe cosplaying a rich tech bro.
The breezy
Nothing says “cheap and classless” like dousing yourself in WhatsApp or Blackberry body spray. People smell you coming a mile away, and it’s not for the reasons you’d hope.
The scentless
You’re raw dogging life with your natural scent and telling the world you don’t give a flying fuck. If they catch you after a fresh bath, that’s good for them. If they catch you after a long day of sweat and sweat, they’d have to deal with it.
The sweet tooth
Your mix of vanilla and caramel perfume collection makes people think of sugar when you walk by. Your scent is heavy on the “Bobo nice” vibes, but be careful—people might want to take advantage of your sweet nature.
