If you’ve ever picked up a secondhand shirt at a garage sale, your first instinct might be to toss it in the wash immediately. That’s what one TikToker expected, too—until she got a whiff of what would become her viral moment.
In her now-famous TikTok, she hops into her truck after snagging a shirt from a small town garage sale and gushes about how good it smells. In this relatable, very human moment, she’s authentically blown away by the scent—describing it as something you’d expect from "rich people,” not a classic garage sale find. She clearly feels lucky!
Her reaction was pure gold. But her story didn’t stop there!
“I Had to Go Back and Ask Her What She Was Washing Her Clothes In!”
That same TikToker went back to the garage sale the next day to track down the source of the scent. The woman hosting the sale? A neighbor of a distributor for Topanga Scents. She told her the scent was Topanga Scents Laguna laundry detergent and even handed her some samples to try.
This is when we get another glimpse into the narrative of her story! She posts TikTok video #2 giving us the much-anticipated reveal with her followers. It’s safe to say, the internet went wild!
From Small Town Buzz to National Viral Moment
In just the first 24 hours after the video mentioning Topanga Scents went viral, Topanga Scents had received over 2,000+ orders. People were obsessed with finding this magical scent that made secondhand clothes smell like luxury – so good you didn’t want to wash them.
Topanga Scents is a small, family-owned company based in El Dorado, Arkansas, and this sudden burst of attention sparked a full-on brand explosion. Everyone—from customer service to packing and shipping—jumped in to handle the surge. Even the locals were buzzing, neighbors volunteered to help, and the warehouse kicked into overdrive to get these incredible-smelling products into homes across the country.
And the momentum is still going strong from all the new discoveries across the country!
