Is the egg-shaped Tamburins perfume actually worth the hype?
I finally gave in and ordered the famous egg shaped perfume from Tamburins online after seeing it all over social media for months. Honestly, I thought it might end up being one of those products where the packaging and branding are carrying most of the hype, especially because the whole brand aesthetic feels so curated and artsy.
But after using it for a while, I kind of understand why people are obsessed with it. The scent doesn’t smell like a typical strong designer perfume at all. It’s softer, cleaner, and somehow feels very “modern Korean luxury” to me. It almost smells more like a vibe or atmosphere than just a regular perfume, if that makes sense.
What surprised me most was how much the scent changes throughout the day. At first it smelled very unique and slightly sharp to me, but after a few hours it became warmer, softer, and more skin-like. I also liked that it doesn’t project aggressively or become overwhelming like some luxury perfumes can.
Now I’m stuck somewhere between genuinely loving the fragrance and wondering if I’m also just influenced by the beautiful packaging and branding experience
For people who’ve tried Tamburins before, do you actually think the perfumes are worth the hype and price, or is the aesthetic part of the appeal carrying it a little?
