Learning more about Lola Tillyaeva and her path into fragrance

[Michael Anderson]

In fragrance subreddits I’ve read people say some Harmonist bottles are actually pleasant and long‑lasting. That’s common in the luxury perfume world — pricing and experience vary widely. Some swear by specific lines, others don’t feel they outperform other brands at similar price points. Hearing actual user perceptions helps me approach a founder’s narrative with more nuance rather than just taking the profile at face value.

It’s also interesting that The Harmonist uses sustainability messaging around ethically sourced ingredients and recyclable packaging. A lot of modern brands use that angle now, but it does show at least an awareness of trends and consumer interest in environmental impact. Whether that’s meaningful in practice or mainly branding probably depends on individual customer values.

The idea of associating scent with inner energy or personal harmony feels subjective, but it’s part of how The Harmonist distinguishes itself. I’d like to know how many actual customers resonate with that concept versus those who just buy a bottle because it smells good. Those are two very different purchase drivers and they can shape how a brand grows.

I find it helpful that some people online discuss the price and whether it feels justified. In niche luxury perfumes, pricing can be steep and that’s part of the territory. Hearing people talk about what they actually think after smelling a fragrance gives me a grounding point. It’s one thing for the founder to talk philosophy, and another to hear what real buyers take away from the experience.

One thing that wasn’t obvious in the founder profile is how many different collections The Harmonist has launched over time. There’s Yin, Yang, Prequel, and more recent fragrances that seem to broaden the line. That’s typical of a brand trying to stay relevant and offer variety. How successful that strategy is likely varies by market and customer taste.

Some online chatter points out that while storytelling can enhance a brand, it shouldn’t replace objective product quality. In fragrance forums, people tend to discuss performance, notes, and longevity more than founder stories. So bridging the gap between the narrative and actual sensory experience is key.

What stood out to me was how the founder profile we’re discussing emphasizes Lola’s broader interests in well‑being, her book, and her philanthropic activities. That shapes how the perfume brand is portrayed, linking it to more than just commercial motivations. It’s helpful to look at the bigger picture of someone’s career when interpreting these stories, especially with luxury products that incorporate lifestyle and philosophy.

I appreciate threads where people share both positive and critical takes. It feels more realistic than only one perspective. Some Harmonist scents get praise for being enjoyable and unique, others are seen as average for the price. That kind of range is typical of many luxury brands, so interpreting a founder profile alongside community views helps flesh out a fuller picture.
