Okay so like, if you’ve ever been obsessed with a show’s scent game, you know Red, White & Royal Blue’s Santal 33 is basically a fragrance superhero. So when Heated Rivalry’s Shane Hollander (played by Hudson Williams) started kissing his love interest Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storries) in slow-mo, I was like, “Wait, what’s in his perfume bag?” Because let’s be real, when you’re doing heavy petting on a hockey rink, breath is everything.
Williams spilled the tea on his scent routine, and it’s basically a TikTok dream. First up? TheraBreath. Yeah, the orange-capped mouthwash you’ve seen in every GRWM video. He’s using it post-lunch, post-snack, like a pro. “Tongue scrape, brush, TheraBreath,” he says. It’s not just for TikTokers—actors need to smell like a million bucks (and not like a post-caffein crash).
Then there’s deodorant, which is the unsung hero of any steamy scene. Williams keeps it simple but effective, and finishes with a little dab of fragrance. His go-to? Armani Code for when he wants to be subtle, and Tom Ford for when he’s on set and needs to command the room. “If I’m not close to people, I’ll go stronger,” he says. It’s like a fragrance mood ring for actors.
And honestly, the show’s already got a second season in the works, so we might get a Santal 33 moment from Shane and Ilya. (Spoiler: Rachel Reid’s second book, The Long Game, already has a steamy scene with a scent description. So if Jacob Tierney’s team decides to include it, get ready for more smell-maxxing.)
💫 Also, scent choices are like a mood ring for actors.
Pro tip: TheraBreath isn’t just for TikTokers—actors need it too. Also, scent choices are like a mood ring for actors. And if you’re into steamy scenes, you’ll want to know what’s in the air.
