Baby Goes Viral on TikTok as a Candle-Sniffing Connoisseur

When shopping for a new candle for your home, you might consult Good Housekeeping or Wirecutter for recommendations or maybe you head to TJ Maxx to sniff for yourself. But among it all, a new unexpected scent authority is going viral for her opinions—2-year-old Sunday Kramer.

The Dallas-based baby has amassed almost 10 million likes on her mom Bri Kramer’s TikTok for her adorable, straightforward "reviews” of popular candles. From luxury scents by Tom Ford to household scents by Bath & Body Works, she’s on a mission to sniff them all, with commenters throwing out ideas for the next scent to try.

For each candle, sweet Sunday takes a whiff before reacting with adorable reactions ranging from an excited “Oooh Nice” in response to Bath & Body Works’ Mahogony Teakwood to a confident “No, no, not that” in response to Trudon’s luxury candle Spella.

With such conviction and, of course, cuteness, TikTok lovers can’t help but take her word as truth. “The way this baby could influence me into buying this candle,” commented one user, while another added, “The only review I trust.”

While Sunday has only been doing candle reviews since November, Kramer says that her daughter has always loved scents and has been pretty consistent with her likes and dislikes. “When she was around 6 months old, I would have her smell spices in the pantry. I just was kind of experimenting to see if she would remember scents and if she would have a preference, and she really did,” she told TODAY in an interview, adding that some of Sunday’s favorite scents are cinnamon and matcha — which she asks to smell every day.
