      Brad Wheeler Globe and Mail The soundtrack is a bit earnest and the quotes from Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius make for a self-helpy vibe, but otherwise the film's message and momentum is contagious. Rated: 3/4 Apr 14, 2017 Full Review Janet Smith Georgia Straight Perfume War is a compelling success story; still, you're left wondering what a more arm's-length documentary team might have sniffed out of all this. Apr 13, 2017 Full Review Tara Thorne The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia) Inspiring and well-told. Apr 13, 2017 Full Review Tina Hassannia National Post Perfume War has real substance. The doc is smart enough to identify and provide compelling answers for how and why socially conscious business models are the only sustainable form of capitalism for the future.

      Audience Member "Perfume War" held me in its grip from the first to the last scene. Love a good story of true friendship? Interested in strategies that have nothing to do with charity that can make a positive impact on people's lives in war torn countries? Curious about what it takes to turn a great idea into a successful business venture? Have you wondered how Trevor Greene is doing eleven years after being axed in the head by a young Taliban insurgent? Or, perhaps you've always wondered about the odds of making it to a Dragon's Den audition? There is all of that and much more in this compelling and inspiring story, supported by beautiful photography and perfect background music. I left the theatre with hope in my heart and even a little plan to check out the perfume department at The Bay. From someone who has refused to wear any scent since my teen years, that is a strong endorsement of "Perfume War" indeed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
