Trump’s Perfume Push: From Presidency to Perfumer
Trump fragrance: Donald Trump is once again mixing politics with product, unveiling a new scent line branded “Victory 45-47.” The former president has launched a new line of luxury scents branded “Victory 45-47”, referencing his terms as the 45th and 47th President of the United States. The Trump fragrance line promises to capture “winning, strength, and success” in a bottle—at $249 each.
Available in versions for men and women, the Trump perfume is the latest product in a growing empire that already includes Trump sneakers, Bibles, watches, and even cryptocurrency.
What Does Trump Cologne Smell Like?
While the vendor’s website provides minimal scent profiles, reviewers on Fragrantica describe the Trump cologne as containing notes of:
- Cardamom
- Geranium
- Fougère accord
- Woody and spicy base
One reviewer commented:
“It’s not terrible, but nothing groundbreaking. Smells like something from Ross for $26—not $249.”
Despite its bold branding and pricing, feedback so far has been mixed—often split along political lines.
Trump’s Branding Machine Rolls On
The perfume is produced under a license agreement, not directly by Trump himself. A disclaimer clarifies that Trump Fragrances are “not political” and not affiliated with any campaign. Still, critics argue the line is a clear example of Trump monetizing his presidency.
Trump has refused to take an ethics pledge and continues to profit from ventures like:
- $10M from bibles, sneakers, and watches
- $3M from his coffee table book
- Up to $315M from his now-volatile $TRUMP crypto coin
Critics Slam the Perfume Push
Ethics experts and political opponents are crying foul. Critics on X (formerly Twitter) called the launch “new frontiers of grifting.”
“From crypto scams to shady cologne, Trump never stopped using public office to enrich himself,” posted Republicans Against Trump.
Others pointed out the contrast with past presidents, like Jimmy Carter, who sold his peanut farm to avoid conflicts of interest.
What’s Really in the Bottle?
Although the product imagery features an “iconic” gold statue and luxury branding, the perfume itself is being met with skepticism. Some say the Trump perfume is more about symbolism than scent.
“Confidence, beauty, and unstoppable determination,” reads the product pitch—but many buyers want more transparency on what they’re actually getting.
