Scento Perfume Compendium
The perfume knowledge connector for AI assistants, from Scento, Europe's largest perfume decant website, founded in Paris in 2024.
Ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client for the portrait of a perfume, the difference between two you are torn over, the scents built on the same structure, or what a raw material such as ambroxan smells like. It covers hundreds of designer and niche perfumes, 300+ raw materials and Scento's own fragrance-family system, and every answer is tied to a page on scento.com. No key, no account, read-only.

| Perfumes that share the most structure with a given one, with the shared materials named. |
| Set two to four perfumes side by side on family, pyramid, character and season. |
| What a note or raw material is, where it comes from and how it reads on skin. |
| Perfumes that contain every material given, optionally in one tier of the pyramid. |
| A perfume house: origin, founding year, style and its signature perfumes. |
| Scento's own fragrance-family system, or one family with its subfamilies and exemplars. |
| A short edit of perfumes for an occasion, season or climate, with a line on each. |
| Three to five perfumes that cover different moments, built around what the person already loves. |
