ByteDance, the company that owns the massive video-sharing social media platform TikTok, has debuted a line of cosmetic perfumes named 'EMOTIF.' The EMOTIF line is currently in its testing phase and is available in three different scents titled 'Electronic Lover,' 'Deep Sea Flight,' and 'Pompidou Only Drinks Champagne.' These three products are available at select online retailers in 2 ml bottles for $3.94 USD or for 9 ml bottles for $31.20 USD.
While Bytedance has previously entered the food, alcohol, and self-care industries, this is the tech giant's first entrance into personal cosmetic perfumes. This new venture for the business is likely tied to the recent success of the perfume market in China, with the perfume market size growing by a large annual margin steadily since 2018.
