The olfactive intelligence platform
WikiParfum is the knowledge engine behind all ScentXP technologies. It is a curated database of over 31,000 perfumes and 1,500 ingredients, structured and classified by olfactive experts to provide the most complete and impartial fragrance intelligence available. Every ScentXP product — Fragrance Library, ScentBot, Fragrance Profiler, EAN Nose, AirParfum, and Scent Intelligence — draws its data, classification, and recommendation logic from WikiParfum.What WikiParfum contains

- 1,400+ brands — from niche houses to global prestige and mass-market brands
- Perfumer profiles — linking creators to their works

Fragrances of the World
WikiParfum’s classification is built in collaboration with Fragrances of the World (Michael Edwards), the global reference for olfactive taxonomy. This partnership guarantees rigor and impartiality — every perfume is classified using the same expert methodology used by the fragrance industry worldwide.Olfactive families
All perfumes are classified into primary families and subfamilies:| Family | Character |
|---|---|
| Citrus | Fresh, zesty, energetic |
| Floral | Romantic, elegant, diverse |
| Woody | Warm, earthy, grounding |
| Ambery (Oriental) | Rich, sensual, enveloping |
| Aromatic Fougère | Herbal, aromatic, classic |
| Chypre | Sophisticated, mossy, complex |
| Leather | Bold, smoky, distinctive |
Algorithms and recommendations
WikiParfum doesn’t rely on purchase history or popularity. Its recommendation engine is built on olfactive affinity: ingredient composition, family relationships, and structural similarity between fragrances. This means recommendations genuinely reflect how perfumes smell — not just what other people bought. The algorithm analyzes distances between olfactive families and ingredient profiles to surface suggestions that match the user’s actual taste.The Quadrification
The Quadrification is a proprietary visual representation of each perfume’s olfactive profile. It translates the ingredient composition into an image that customers can understand at a glance — making the invisible (scent) visible. Quadrification visuals are available via the API in multiple sizes and are used across Fragrance Library, ScentBot, and product pages.Expert reviewed perfumes
A subset of perfumes in the database are marked as expert reviewed — personally evaluated by ScentXP’s olfactive experts. These are typically iconic and best-selling fragrances that receive the highest level of classification detail.Multi-language support
All WikiParfum content — ingredient names, descriptions, family names, perfumer bios — is available in 25+ languages. This enables the same experience across different markets and storefronts without managing translations.How WikiParfum powers ScentXP
