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.
