Is there an online resource to find similar perfumes?
With access to materials, information and creative
inspiration you can find everything you need for your perfume project.
I remember how devastated I was when my favorite perfume
was discontinued back in the 1990s. It was brought back for a limited time last
year, but I don't want to go searching on eBay once I finish the bottle I
bought then. Is there an online perfume resource that can suggest scents that
are similar, or at least something with the same notes?
The folks at the basenotes forum are an amazing resource.
You can search by note at The Perfumed Court. They
specialize in samples of fragrances, so you can test-drive some possibilities
before committing.
I really like the way Lucky Scent sorts their perfumes by
style and note, and their descriptions are good. Decently priced samples, too.
