  1. 1

    You are standing in the shop. Over everything hangs a cloud of a hundred fragrances.

    You start at home, with a clear nose.

  2. 2

    Someone holds out paper strips to you, one after another.

    You answer questions about yourself, at your own pace.

  3. 3

    You try to work out what you are smelling. After the third strip it no longer works.

    You read your portrait before a fragrance name is mentioned.

  4. 4

    What gets recommended is what the house currently stocks. You are not told why.

    Three fragrances with reasoning. We earn nothing on your later purchase.

  5. 5

    You buy and don’t know how it smells on your skin.

    You know in advance which three are in the running, and try them specifically.

Read the frequent questions first

Frequently asked

All questions and answers11 questions
Can a questionnaire really find my fragrance?

Your own preference explains most of whether you like something. The test narrows the whole catalogue down to three. Whether one of them suits you is something you notice while wearing it: in the shop, or at home when a sample exists.

Why should I pay for a recommendation?

Because we are independent and you reduce the risk of an expensive bad buy. There is no purchase link, and no brand pays for a place in your result.

What happens to my answers?

They stay in your browser. Neither name nor address is stored. They only go into an anonymous evaluation with your tick.

What if none of the three fragrances fits?

Every match comes with its reasoning. You see which answer brought it to the front and can search on from there. If none of the three hits, your second run is free.

Is this a perfume quiz, and what perfumes are best suited for me?

Call it a quiz if you like, but it does not ask what perfumes are best suited for other people. It asks how you want to come across and what you like to smell on yourself. Out of that come three names, each with its notes and the reason it is there.

Is this a personality test?

The test asks about your effect and your preference. Type models such as Personality types are not used because they do not predict fragrance taste.

Which perfume suits me, and how do I find my signature scent?

There is no fragrance that belongs to a person like a shoe size. There are fragrances that suit an effect you want to achieve and that suit your skin. That is exactly what the test asks about, and it narrows the whole catalogue down to three, which you test yourself.

What is the difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum?

The proportion of fragrance oil. Eau de Toilette has the lowest, Eau de Parfum a higher one, an Extrait the highest. More oil usually means longer Longevity. Fixed percentage limits are not laid down by law, and the houses' figures differ. For you that means: if you want long longevity, ask about the concentration, not about the price.

How do I find a fragrance that hardly anyone else wears?

The first test does not ask about that yet. But with every match you see which house it comes from and from which year, and you can recognise smaller houses by that. At the end we ask you whether we should build a more detailed test that asks exactly that.

Why don’t you ask about occasion and season?

Because no source states them. Neither retail nor manufacturers state which occasion or which season a fragrance fits. Anyone sorting by that is sorting by an estimate. Only what is in the source is scored here: fragrance family, top, heart and base notes, year of release, price. The fragrance direction follows from the family via a fixed table of fourteen families.

Is the catalogue enough for a reliable result?

That does not make a result certain, but it does make it well founded. The catalogue describes what is chosen from. Their number says nothing about how accurate the choice is. Each of the 16 combinations of fragrance direction and price range is covered, none of them thinly. So there is no combination with too few fragrances to choose from. Whether the recommendation hits is only shown by the test on your skin.

How long does it take to get the result?

Your result is there at the end of the run, so after 5 to 20 minutes. There is no waiting time and no returning of samples.
