Popular food critic and Lagos socialite, Opeyemi Famakin, has found himself at the center of controversy following allegations that his luxury perfume collection is filled with counterfeits.
Famakin, who has carved a niche for himself in the lifestyle space, recently showed off a selection of high-end fragrances said to be worth over N1 million. He even went as far as branding himself "Lagos’ best-smelling man." But his confidence was met with sharp criticism after a perfume expert raised doubts about the authenticity of the scents.
A social media user with the handle @mowaGLINT, who claims to have ties with premium fragrance brand Floraiku, publicly questioned the packaging of one of the perfumes Famakin flaunted. According to her, the boxes and bottles didn’t match the original brand’s standards.
"Hi Opeyemi, who’s your perfume plug? I don’t mean to be rude, but I work with Floraiku and I’ve unboxed several of their fragrances. This packaging doesn’t look genuine,” she wrote, warning him that he might have unknowingly purchased fake items.
The comment sparked debate across social media, with many split between defending Famakin and calling him out. Some argued that it’s easy to be misled in Nigeria’s luxury market where counterfeits are rampant, while others insisted a public figure like him should be more cautious about what he promotes.
Famakin has yet to respond to the accusations, but the situation has stirred conversation about authenticity in the influencer space, especially as more celebrities and socialites flaunt luxury goods online.
The buzz continues to grow, with netizens eagerly waiting to see whether Famakin will clear the air or let the scent of controversy linger.
