about me

Hey, I’m Vanessa — the woman behind the Ten Second Perfume Reviews TikTok account.

My background is in PR, marketing, and content writing. Mostly in the tech, nonprofit, and psychology spaces — absolutely none of which need romanticized, poetic descriptions. And I am (for better or worse) a sucker for those. So I started a fragrance-focused Tiktok in 2021 to give myself space to be as creative and fantastical as I wanted. Faraway forests and candyland fairies? There’s a perfume to match any vibe.

But given my marketing background, I also knew that people don’t always love long-form content on social platforms. So I made sure to keep my flowery language short and sweet. And that’s how my signature “Ten Second Review” was born. So far 22,000 people have come along for the ride.
