Why Did Rasit Spray Cologne on Thomas at the 90 Day Fiance Tell All?

Rasit Kebabci and Thomas Dintino arrived at the 90 Day Fiance Season 12 Tell All as members of completely different couples, yet one of Part 1’s biggest arguments ended up happening between them. What began as a joke about Thomas’ sensitivity to fragrances quickly became uncomfortable when Rasit deliberately used that sensitivity to provoke a reaction.

The confrontation happened away from the main Tell All stage during a break. Rasit learned that Thomas had an issue with perfume and cologne, loaded himself with fragrance and then approached Thomas for a hug, setting off an argument that required Thomas to change his shirt.

Why Did Rasit Put Cologne on Thomas?

Rasit appears to have done it as a prank. The Tell All presents him as deliberately taking advantage of something he knew bothered Thomas rather than accidentally wearing too much fragrance around him.

According to recaps of the episode, Rasit put on a large amount of perfume before approaching Thomas. Thomas initially appeared prepared for a normal greeting, but Rasit went in for a hug and rubbed his scented shirt against Thomas’ clothing.

There was no major Rasit-Thomas storyline during the regular season that would explain the incident as the culmination of a long feud. Instead, the disagreement grows largely out of Rasit deciding that Thomas’ strong reaction to fragrances would be funny to test.

Thomas Had Already Made His Fragrance Sensitivity Clear

Thomas’ problems with strong scents were not invented specifically for the Tell All. His sensitivity to perfume had already become part of his Season 12 storyline with Paula, and Tell All promotional material specifically described him as having an allergy to perfumes.

That context explains why Thomas does not treat Rasit’s move as an ordinary joke. After the hug, Thomas becomes upset and changes his shirt because the fragrance has transferred onto his clothing.

The episode does not independently establish the medical nature or severity of Thomas’ sensitivity, so there is no reason to go beyond what Thomas himself and the show have said. What is clear is that Rasit knew Thomas wanted to avoid fragrance and deliberately ignored that boundary.

Did Rasit Actually Spray Thomas Directly?

Not exactly, based on the footage and episode recaps. Rasit did not simply walk up and spray a bottle directly onto Thomas’ body. Instead, he reportedly put a heavy amount of perfume or cologne on himself and then hugged Thomas, rubbing the scent onto Thomas’ shirt.

That distinction does not make the confrontation accidental. The entire purpose of loading up on fragrance before approaching Thomas was apparently to make sure Thomas came into contact with the smell.

Thomas then withdrew to change clothes as the disagreement escalated. Paula attempted to intervene, while other cast members appeared to believe Thomas’ response was excessive.

Why Did Thomas Get So Angry With Rasit?

For Thomas, the issue was not simply that he disliked Rasit’s cologne. He had already asked for distance from strong fragrances, so Rasit’s decision to deliberately make physical contact after learning about that sensitivity felt disrespectful.

The scene becomes especially tense because the cast does not uniformly side with Thomas. Some laugh at the prank or criticize the scale of his response, which shifts the argument from Thomas versus Rasit into a larger disagreement over whether Rasit’s joke crossed a reasonable boundary.

Viewer reaction has also been unusually strong. Several highly active 90 Day Fiance discussions sided with Thomas on this particular issue even when commenters acknowledged they did not normally agree with his behavior.

Are Rasit and Thomas Still Feuding?

Part 1 does not end with the two becoming friends. Their perfume argument becomes one of the Tell All’s unexpected side feuds and demonstrates how quickly the reunion can create conflicts between people who barely interacted during the regular season.

The most important point is that Rasit was not innocently unaware of Thomas’ problem with fragrance. He knew about it, decided to turn it into a prank and intentionally approached Thomas while heavily scented. Thomas’ reaction may continue to divide viewers, but the reason the confrontation happened is much simpler: Rasit wanted to get a reaction out of him, and he succeeded.
