Note Guides
Scrolling is great for discovery. Terrible for actually finding the bottle.
TikTok is very good at showing you whatever's viral this week, and not at all good at showing you what actually matches the notes you like. “TikTok made me buy it” is a real phrase people use — often right before describing a bottle that didn't quite work out.
“Cozy vanilla girl energy” isn't a note, but vanilla is. Most viral scent descriptions boil down to one or two real notes underneath the vibe — that's the part worth searching, not the caption.
Check the actual note pyramid, not just the comments. See if the notes you'd be paying for are the ones you actually wanted, or if you were sold on the video, not the scent.
