Comedian, writer, and Accidental PerfumeTok King™ Brian Park is in the Perfume Room today! You likely know him from his viral TikTok series where he satirizes 'taste bros' who use consumerism in lieu of developing a personality.

Vids of his like 'POV: you're on a date with a guy who has Aesop soap in his bathroom' have garnered millions of views and have platformed him to an entirely unexpected corner of the Internet - PerfumeTok.

Today we chat about the persona, who inspired it, what he's actually wearing off screen, and the woes and joys that come with the territory of being deeply entrenched in an Internet niche.
