We want to bring the art of perfumery closer to the people.

Wikiparfum is more than an encyclopaedia. It is the place to live and immerse yourself in the world of perfumery. In addition to knowing the details of each ingredient and fragrance, you can create your own olfactory profile, learn from expert perfumers, visualise the scent of fragrances and receive personalised recommendations.

"I love fragrances but choosing a fragrance or naming what I like is not easy".
