Welcome
I’m Brian f.k.a. Nose Knows No Notes a.k.a. @BrainFragrances. I began my fragrance journey in the Spring of 2019 and I’ve shared my experiences on a daily-basis since. This website launched in the Summer of 2022 as a personal blog and it changed into its current format in March 2023. In March 2024 the name changed to ScentAdvice.
Concept
ScentAdvice is the #1 place for information on the latest and upcoming fragrance releases.
Aside from news, you can look up specific reviews written by me (almost 1900 as of April 2025). I try to get my nose on a lot of the new and/or hyped releases.
The database of fragrances to look up keeps growing (30.000 fragrances as of April 2025). Lists, articles, discounts, Beauty Section & more have been added to the menu for an all-round experience.
Navigation
Use the SEARCH bar to quickly look up a fragrance or brand.
Use the BRANDS page to navigate to a brand for an alphabetized list of all their fragrances.
Use the REVIEWS page for the latest added reviews.
Site-wide, fragrances marked with🔺have been reviewed.
Use the NEW RELEASES page for a highlight of (popular) new releases. For a more complete overview of everything new, including lesser known brands, use the LAST ADDED page.
The ScentAdvice logo in the header can be used to navigate back to the homepage. In the app, if your phone has swipe gestures enabled, you’re able to swipe from the edge of your screen to go back to the previous page, as you would on any web page.
App
You can download the ScentAdvice app for Android or for IOS (APPLE). The app has the same functionality as the mobile site, but it’s easier to access from your phone’s home screen or app drawer. Give it a try!
Disclosure
Use the reviews and information as a means of exploration. Every fragrance reviewed has been worn on skin at least once, sometimes sampled alongside another fragrance. Readers are invited to share their own thoughts in the comments. If possible, always sample fragrances on your own skin. None of the reviews are meant as a sales pitch and my opinion is just an opinion.
If a fragrance was gifted to me by a brand, distributor or store, it’s always indicated with an ‘AD’ sticker in the Review header, right above the review. Regardless, the content is never dictated, pre-approved or changed by a brand.
ScentAdvice may link to external stores, but it is not a store. It is not affiliated with any of the stores that are being linked to and ScentAdvice can not be held responsible for any dealings with third-parties.
Any information shared on ScentAdvice is subject to mistakes and changes.
Code of Ethics
In addition to the statement about disclosure above, I am a pledger to the Perfumery Code Of Ethics. The code is an initiative by perfumer Christophe Laudamiel.
Account
You can register an account. This enables you to stay logged in and post comments under your own name. In the PROFILE tab in the menu, you can change your username and profile photo. More functionality will be added in the future.
REMOVAL REQUEST
ScentAdvice does not leak information to the internet, but shares information found in other online sources. In case a brand or representative entity wants a listing removed from the database, please directly mail admin@scentadvice. Sending DMCA claims to the server provider only adds time to process the request and could result in unjust issues, as the actual leaking of a product usually happens via the brand or one of their retail partners.
ScentAdvice may use externally sourced thumbnails. This is done manually; content is never scraped from other websites. No bots or artificial intelligence are used in the making of ScentAdvice or its content. Please use the contact options below to request removal of a photo if you’re a copyright holder.

Use the contact options below to inquire about a PR collaboration or a commissioned photo shoot for your brand. Check out @BrainFragrances on Instagram for more collaboration options. For stores, distributors and brands, affiliate links or codes with a commission rate are welcomed.
