My Honest Review of Goda Perfume: A Lovely Scent with a Silly Sales Pitch

My best friend and I had been seeing ads for Goda Perfume everywhere, the kind that promise to “ignite desire” and make your partner weak in the knees. After weeks of being bombarded by these seductive marketing claims, my best friend finally said, “We need to try this and see what all the hype is about.” So, I caved and ordered it.

The order came with two small bottles, each 0.5 ounces, and the cost was $40 USD. Not too bad at first glance, until I realized I also had to pay $27 in customs charges since it ships from the U.S. to Canada. That brought the total to over $60 USD, which felt steep for such tiny bottles. The ad also promised “extra goodies” included in the package, but none were there.

Now for the scent itself — I’ll give credit where it’s due. The perfume smells lovely, very reminiscent of Eternity by Calvin Klein. It’s clean, floral, and fresh, and I actually do enjoy wearing it. It doesn’t have an overwhelming scent, it is very light and slightly sweet smelling. The fragrance lasts a decent amount of time and feels like something you’d happily dab on daily. 

I did make a joke to my husband about the ads, and used my sexiest Austin Powers voice and asked him “do I make you horny baby?” We had a good laugh, but the answer is always yes anyways regardless of my perfume. He did not suddenly have the urge to touch me and drag me to bed though. So that is a bunch of bologna.

But let’s be real: the pheromone claims are pure marketing fluff. The idea that this perfume would make my husband suddenly want to jump on me is just ridiculous. Human beings don’t produce pheromones that work like that, and no bottle of perfume can magically manipulate attraction. These types of products use seduction as a sales pitch, and honestly, it’s a bit silly.

In the end, Goda Perfume smells great, but that’s where the magic ends. It’s not going to make anyone irresistible, it’s simply a nice fragrance with an overhyped story and some hidden costs.

Final verdict:

Scent: 9/10 — Beautiful, soft, and romantic.

Value: 5/10 — Hidden customs fees and missing extras.

Pheromone claims: 0/10 — Marketing fantasy.

Overall: A pretty perfume, but definitely not the love potion it claims to be.

You can also buy a knock off on Amazon for a lot cheaper, I have yet to smell it but I can imagine it smells like a lovely perfume. You can find it here: https://amzn.to/4qppwzd
