About scentateca

scentateca helps you understand a fragrance before you buy or wear it: its notes and accords, how wearers describe it, who made it, and which other bottles smell close to it, with the evidence behind each comparison.

You can keep a library of what you own, want and have tried, write reviews, ask the community and build fragrance ideas of your own.

scentateca is an independent project run by Marwan Ezzat Mohamed Amin, an individual based in Egypt. It is not owned by, or paid by, any fragrance house, brand or retailer.

No ads. No paid placements. Rankings and comparisons are never for sale.

Catalogue facts come from fragrance houses, packaging, the trade press and reviewed public sources such as Wikidata. Opinions come from members and from what wearers publicly say about a scent. Every comparison shows where it comes from, and the methodology page explains how alternatives are ranked.

Brand names and logos belong to their owners and are used only to identify products.
