Colby (@thisiscolbyspeaking) shared her story while sitting in her car in a TikTok video that has amassed 280,600 views.

What did the Walmart worker tell her?

“I just picked up my car from getting an oil filter change at Walmart, and the guy at the register that was like, getting my key and my receipt and everything, all of a sudden went, ‘It was you,'” she recounted.

She continued, “I already know. I already know, but I let him tell me anyway.”

She then went on to describe how the man told her she “smell[ed] so good,” before revealing the perfume she was wearing.

“What am I wearing today, you may ask?” she said. ” I’m wearing Sol de Janeiro, […] [but] the piece de resistance is Marshmallow Moon by Fairy Nest. It’s a seller on Etsy. Marshmallow Moon is the name of the perfume. Is the best marshmallow perfume. I have three bottles of it. I’m obsessed with it. And yes, I do smell good, but thank you, because that is my favorite compliment.”

She ended by noting that whilst the worker was “checking [her] out,” he was fully sniffing the air.

Colby didn’t immediately respond to The Mary Sue’s request for comment via TikTok comment.

‘I love it when this happens’

Commenters agreed that being told that they smell good is the best kind of acknowledgement.

“Being told you smell good is seriously the best compliment! Also, thank you for spreading the love and sharing with the class,” one wrote. “My best friend likes scents like these and hasn’t been able to find a good marshmallow that’s not super eh or cheapy. Running to share the deets with her now, just as Paul Revere would’ve had it.”

“The BEST compliment. I swear,” a second echoed. “Also thanks for sharing.”

While a third added, “I literally had a coworker come up to me yesterday going ‘I really hope this isn’t weird,’ like no, tell me, I love being told I smell good.”

What is Marshmallow Moon?

Over on Etsy, the Marshmallow Moon perfume, which is made by seller Fairy Nest Fragrances, is currently sold out. It costs approximately $56.47 (£41.85).

The product description is as follows: “Indulge in the ultimate sweet escape with Marshmallow Moon. An airy confection of spun sugar glimmers at the top. At its heart, fluffy marshmallows melt into a cloud of creamy warmth. Finally, a base of rich, warm vanilla adds a velvety depth, creating a lingering, cozy embrace. Soft yet indulgent, this scent is perfect for those who want to smell like a bag of marshmallows!”

In turn, the perfume has gotten rave reviews. “Can’t stop sniffing myself,” one reviewer wrote. “Had to order a 2nd bottle!”

“This is the perfect marshmallow scent for me!” a second declared. “Nothing fruity or smoky..Just pure, sweet fluff.”

A third called it an “absolute masterpiece,” and a fourth promised: “You will smell delicious with this scent!”

Fairy Nest Fragrances didn’t immediately respond to The Mary Sue’s request for comment via Etsy message.
