Influence And Why Young Men Are Changing The Way We Wear Scent With Finn Bachelor

Why has fragrance become one of the biggest identity markers for Gen Z men? And how did perfume culture move from department store counters into Discord servers, TikTok algorithms and million-view fragrance reviews? In this episode, I’m joined by Finn Batchelor, one of the world’s fastest-rising fragrance creators and the founder of FB Fragrances digital platform. With more than a million followers across platforms, Finn has become a trusted voice for a new generation of young men and boys discovering fragrance through emotion, self-expression, confidence and community. We unpack the psychology behind fragrance compliments, why young men are suddenly collecting perfume like fashion, the rise of niche and Middle Eastern fragrance houses, the truth about “beast mode” scents, and why scent can completely alter how you experience yourself. We also talk about nostalgia, mood, looks maxing and the cultural shifts driving fragrance’s explosive return. If fragrance is becoming the new identity language for a generation of men and boys, this conversation explains why.
