# Sea Predator Fragrances Tara Reid's Shark by Tara Fragrance Was Inspired by Sharknado 2 By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-05 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shark-by-tara References: [mtv](http://www.mtv.com/news/1887360/sharknado-perfume/) & [tarareid](http://tarareid.com/products/shark-by-tara) With Syfy's Sharknado 2: The Second One setting new records for the network, it's not surprising that the Sharknado actress Tara Ried released 'Shark by Tara,' a shark-inspired perfume. The idea of a Sharknado perfume sounds like it would be terrifying and gruesome, or at the very least fishy smelling, but the perfume is actually light and fresh, featuring notes of mint, citrus, musk and jasmine. The perfume is described as being perfect for daily wear, andn it's packaged in a simple bottle with a logo that has surfboard and shark fin elements, in addition to a delicate lavender color. Although the fragrance may look and smell nothing like a cinematic Sharknado attack, it's probably one of the few shark-inspired things that you can get away with wearing every day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Shark-inspired Fragrances:** The success of Tara Reid's 'Shark by Tara' perfume opens up opportunities for other shark-inspired fragrances in the market. - **Cinematic-themed Perfumes:** The release of 'Shark by Tara' shows a growing demand for perfumes inspired by popular movies or TV shows, creating an opportunity for brands to collaborate with entertainment franchises. - **Unconventional Perfume Packaging:** The unique packaging of 'Shark by Tara' with surfboard and shark fin elements suggests an emerging trend of unconventional and eye-catching packaging designs for perfumes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fragrance Industry:** The fragrance industry can explore the creation of shark-inspired fragrances to cater to consumers looking for unique and unconventional scents. - **Entertainment Industry:** Collaborations between perfume brands and entertainment franchises can create innovative and exclusive cinematic-themed perfume collections. - **Packaging Industry:** The demand for unconventional and attention-grabbing perfume packaging designs opens up opportunities for the packaging industry to provide creative solutions for brands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Airy Oceanic Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylar-siren-pearl.md) - [Horror Film Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scent-of-a-nightmare.md) - [Soft Oceanic Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-dive-by-ds-durga.md) - [Pet-Inspired Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvetail-perfumes.md) - [Pet-Inspired Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tamburins-sunshine.md) - [Aromatic Aquatic Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoologist-portuguese-man-o-war.md) - [Mood-Boosting Sea-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nautica-fragrances.md) - [Book-Based Perfumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/die-hot-with-a-vengeance.md) - [Relatable Genderless Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noyz.md)
