About Perfume DNA
Perfume DNA (perfume-dna.com) is a free, independent fragrance discovery tool run by an individual based in Slovakia. Contact: hello@perfume-dna.com.
Using the site
You can use Perfume DNA without an account. Please don’t copy our catalogue or note data in bulk, scrape the site, or use it in a way that harms the service.
How matching works
Matches are calculated by a transparent, rule-based method from the notes you pick. A match percentage shows how many of your selected notes appear in a perfume. It is not a prediction that you will like it, and a scent can smell different on skin. Note lists come from brand and retailer information; we check them, but they may contain mistakes.
Saved perfumes and your collection
Saved perfumes, your collection (“I have it”), loved notes and note choices are stored only in your browser on this device. Clearing your browser data or switching devices removes them, and we can’t restore them for you — use a backup link from the Saved page to keep your own copy.
“I have it” and “Love this note” also add to public, anonymous counts. Please tap them honestly; we may reset counts that are clearly inflated.
Finding a perfume
Perfume DNA doesn’t sell perfume. We link to web search and other websites so you can find a fragrance. Prices, stock, delivery, returns and authenticity are the responsibility of whoever you buy from.
Brands and trademarks
Brand and product names are used only to identify products. Perfume DNA is not affiliated with or endorsed by any brand unless explicitly stated. See our Trademark & Brand Disclaimer.
Our content
Texts, note descriptions, illustrations and the structure of our database belong to Perfume DNA unless stated otherwise.
Photographs of fragrance bottles and packaging on Perfume DNA were taken by us unless a credit says otherwise. Product names, logos, and bottle and packaging designs shown in these photos belong to their respective owners and appear only to help you recognise the product. If you are a rights holder and would like a photo changed or removed, email hello@perfume-dna.com and we will respond promptly.
Liability
We provide Perfume DNA as it is and do our best to keep it accurate and available. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for decisions or purchases you make based on the site. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Slovak law. If you are a consumer living in another country, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of that country.
Changes
We’ll post updates on this page and change the date above.
