                 Parents catching a whiff of tobacco on their teenager’s clothes shouldn’t worry too much about what their kiddo got up to last night…because it could just be a funky fragrance.

                 In a boon to the fragrance industry, spritzing oneself with perfumes is now a Gen Z and millennial obsession. That’s thanks to PerfumeTok, a corner of TikTok that

                  popularized the necessity

                 And it went into overcharge in recent years, drawing new customers into the scent fold. Teenage boys in particular are foregoing Axe spray for exquisite fragrance collections, with spending on perfumes in that demographic rising 26% between 2023 and 2024, according to the New York Times. And many young people are buying products without smell-testing, relying on recs from perfume influencers like Jeremy Fragrance, who has 10 million followers on TikTok. Overall, #perfumetok videos have racked up 9+ billion views.

                 The bonanza represents a bright spot for luxury retail sales, which are largely in retreat amid a slowing global economy. But the likes of Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford are now competing with rising indie brands.

                 To set themselves apart from incumbents, indie perfumers are promoting their concoctions on social media with an emphasis on creative authenticity. For instance, British perfume house Earl of East recently held a blind smell sesh with indie folk singer Bon Iver and designed a new scent with his responses, inspired by his latest album.

                   Perfumetoker Annabelle La Chimia runs the @ismellunusua account, where she features indie scents that match particular vibes. She told the New York Times that subscribers often ask her to recommend perfumes that smell like dead trees or water-stained motels, for example.

                 The perfumery process that Arcaea calls “scent-surrection” may be what Coco Chanel would have devised if she had a PhD in genomics and botanical history:

                  <span>
                   With the help of genetic engineering company Ginkgo Bioworks, Arcaea sequences DNA from dried specimens of extinct plants stored in the Harvard University Herbaria. It isolates the genes responsible for scent to recreate the enzymes that gave the plants their distinct aromas.

                   Pro perfumers then combine the reverse-engineered herbal scent with related smells—like earthy notes or flora from the same environment—to concoct the finished product.

                 So far, the collaboration has yielded six perfumes paying tribute to the long-lost plants. For instance, the Solar Canopy fragrance mixes the revived essence of the Hawaiian hibiscus flower
                 <em>
                  Hibiscadelphus wilderianus
                 </em>
                 , which vanished in 1912 due to deforestation, with hints of rose, lychee, and magnolia petals.

                  But…
                 </strong>
                 Arcaea concedes that it can’t be sure how accurately its perfumes replicate the extinct plants’ smells, since the scent mechanisms of a flower are biologically complex and in many instances, no one is alive who would have remembered the scents.

                 Luckily for anyone on a budget who wants to smell good, finding a smell-alike for an expensive perfume doesn’t require purchasing anything from a guy on a street corner with a briefcase full of “Rolexes.” Perfume dupes are

                 There’s not much that big brands selling tiny $400 vials can do about it. Knock-off purveyors have the tech to make good copies. Many use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify the specific molecules in a fragrance they’re looking to copy. They may still use cheaper ingredients or get the balance wrong, but this gives them a solid starting point to replicate the scent.

                 Intellectual property protection is scant for the scents themselves, which generally aren’t considered enough of an invention to be patented. High-end perfumers can take legal action when the copycats use their trademarks or distinctive packaging (known as “trade dress” to the lawyers). However, most dupe-makers are now savvy enough to claim their scents are “inspired by” the original rather than the same, making it hard for brands to make a case.

                 “In trademark, it all comes down to the question of whether the consumer is confused, and a consumer who is reading the message ‘this smells like Tom Ford’s Black Orchid but it’s not’ is not going to be confused,” Susan Scafidi, the academic director of Fordham University’s Fashion Law Institute, told the FT.
