Sommelier du Parfum

Only two gender options, pretty cringe for helping someone explore an art form which famously spans gendered associations even in one fragrance. Its view on my "olfactive profile" was pretty dim. There was no option to exclude or include certain notes which is necessary in a recommendations app (I have a sensitivity to some white musks and the first one it recommended was heavy in them). Dismal.

The app is very well done. The interface is convenient and stylish. The database of perfumes is really comprehensive, I was able to find the most rare ones. It recommends very interesting perfumes that I either didn't know about or didn't consider before. One minus, which I think will improve, is that it seems to emphasize recommendation of certain brands and de-emphasize other brands that are available in the database and would be more suited for the selected characteristics, and the maps crash

Very happy with the app and ordering process!! I heard about this app in a fashion magazine (in the States). I was reading an article about perfume, automation and tech. There was a mention about ordering samples for 20$ and how they are matched according to your preferences. I decided to download the app and give it a whirl. My first impressions are that it is sleek, simple design and nice formatting. I can find things easily and had fun reading through the perfumes that were selected for me! I love reading the "bio" on each perfume- its like reading about a painting. I was reminded about perfumery being an art form. And what a primal joy scent is. I was pretty so excited to place an order and wait for it to arrive. Viewing the tracking was easy and it was sent to my email. Once the package arrived I was thrilled and it made the samples feel special. Nice packaging too! :) I opened each one, sprayed it on a paper and wafted it as I read about the fragrance again. My boyfriend joined in and we talked about what each scent reminded us of, or what things we were picking up on. It was a nice experience and fun for us to do. Im currently picking a day to try just one perfume to see how each works with my natural scent. I can't wait to pick a favorite and order! I like this process better than in store since I would be grabbing samples at random and I might be put off by the huge selections. This way is less overwhelming for me and I can read through each scents profile since its all collected in one app.
