This bloke’s ‘over-the-top’ perfume tips went viral! Are you willing to try them?

Smelling fresh and fantastic at all times—it’s a desire we all share.

Social media personality Warren Tafah recently took it to the extreme with his ‘over-the-top’ fragrance tips that have the internet buzzing.

Tafah, a digital marketing specialist with over 1.1 million online followers, has become an unexpected fragrance guru thanks to his outside-the-box (or perhaps we should say, outside-the-perfume-bottle) recommendations.

His credentials? Let’s just say the man loves his cologne and wants you to smell it, too.




In a recent viral video, Tafah shared seven personal 'fragrance hacks and tips you probably never heard of’. Then, he proceeded to detail techniques that range from clever to downright questionable at best.

First up: spray your fragrance directly onto lightbulbs around your home so that when they heat up, your place is infused with scent—an interesting suggestion, though, as some commenters noted, one not recommended by most electricians.

Tafah also shared that edible fragrance notes like vanilla and chocolate last longest on the skin, while floral scents linger best on clothing. This holds some truth, say fragrance experts, as the molecular compounds respond differently to heat, moisture and fabrics.

A good tip, though easy to overdo—too much of any scent risks headache or nausea from others.



Then, his advice got more… creative. He suggested directly ironing your favourite fragrance into clothes by adding 75 to 150 drops into the water tank.

Clever or crazy? The heat does allow the scent to infuse the fabric. However, some commenters cautioned that perfumes contain oils that may lead to buildup and damage in steam irons over time.

He also suggested spritzing your cardboard toilet paper roll with perfume to make your bathroom smell amazing. It was an unexpected idea that some found gross, but others saw potential in using just a spritz or two.

The social media personality also recommended popping a car diffuser in your vehicle filled with your preferred scent. An unusual—and rather expensive—way to keep you and your car smelling fresh!



Tafah’s last advice is to add cologne directly into your moisturising lotion before applying. He swears this perfume potion will have you smelling amazing.

While Tafah’s tips range from ingenious to inadvisable, one thing’s for sure—the man thinks outside the bottle.

Watch his video here:



Many people found his advice ‘over-the-top’, thinking he used too much cologne.

One person even joked, ‘No cologne on the stovetop, oven, or dishwasher? How will she smell you then?’

‘My first thought is you’re the guy who suffocates everyone in the elevator…’ added another.

Nobody wants to pong, so, most of us go to the trouble of making sure we don't.
I have always been a body spray user, for most of my adult life. Not prepared to pay ridiculous amounts of money on fancy pancy scents.
Some people do notice, usually those you don't expect comments from.
My grand nephew (8 years old), got involved in a conversation with my niece and I the other day. Cutting a long story short, he piped up and said Auntie Ria's car always smells like new ones smell, and, Auntie Ria always smells delicious. Awww ... good to know.
 
Some of us have trouble coping with really strong smells, especially strong perfumes. I wear perfume a bit but I’m not drowning myself in it. Many years ago I used to love Estée Lauder Youth Dew until one day I was outside in the playground & could smell a really strong aroma coming. Round the corner came one of my neighbours who I think had doused herself with an entire bottle of youth dew. I haven’t been able to wear it since. My allergies also dislike overly perfumed houses.

I think allergies and sensitivities are much more prevalent than ever. I’m always mindful of when I wear perfume for that very reason. With the prices of the perfumes I buy being so ridiculously high, I use them sparingly.

I very rarely use spray on deodorants & never use after -shave now though l still have some.
l find talc is sufficient for me.
l do know of ladies however who must use a lot of perfume because l can smell the perfume from metres away or when they pass the smell lingers for several minutes afterwards.
Too much is sometimes too much to my gentle nose; l have to escape the area.
