About ScentWise: Who We Are and How We Work
What ScentWise is, how we research fragrance buying and authenticity guides, and how the site makes money without selling recommendations.
ScentWise exists because most answers about fragrance buying and authenticity guides come back as “it depends.” This site answers with numbers, tables, and the reasoning shown, so you can decide once and move on.
What ScentWise is
ScentWise is an independent editorial site for fragrance buyers hunting dupes and dodging fakes. ScentWise is an independent fragrance guide: spotting fakes, finding honest dupes, understanding families and concentrations, and buying smart online.
Our editorial rules
Specific beats safe. Every buying question gets a number, a range, or a table, never a shrug.
Trade-offs are named. No product is right for everyone; every recommendation says who it is NOT for.
Independence. Recommendations are chosen before affiliate status is checked. Plenty of our picks earn us nothing.
How the site makes money
Reader support: some links are affiliate links that pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. The full policy is in the affiliate disclosure.
Corrections and requests
We would rather be corrected than confidently wrong. If something here does not match your experience, tell us and we will check it.
Frequently asked questions

No. ScentWise is independent. Where products differ, we describe the differences and name the trade-offs rather than picking sponsors.
How does ScentWise make money?
Some product links earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you, disclosed wherever it applies. Commissions never decide a recommendation.
Can I submit a correction?
Please do. Corrections and topic requests genuinely shape our publishing queue.
