About ScentSpotted
ScentSpotted is a database of the perfumes celebrities actually wear. Every claim links to its source, and every perfume comes with alternatives at lower prices.
Why it exists
Most “what perfume does this star wear” articles are lists with no sources. They repeat each other, mix up what someone wears with what they are paid to promote, and rarely say how old the information is. Dupe finders, on the other hand, compare perfumes but ignore who wears them.
ScentSpotted puts both in one place and shows its work.
What we promise
No source, no claim. We only link a celebrity to a perfume when we can point to where the claim comes from: an interview, their own post, a credible report. The source is linked next to the claim, with a confidence level and the date we last checked it. When the evidence is thin, we use the lower level.
Wearing is not endorsing. Paid partnerships and a celebrity’s own fragrance line are shown apart from the perfumes they choose to wear.
Honest alternatives. An alternative is a perfume that smells close, not a copy. For each one we give a similarity estimate, the notes it shares with the original and one line on how it differs.
How the site makes money
For now, it doesn’t: the buy buttons are plain links to retailers, and we earn nothing from them. If we join affiliate programs later, those links will be labeled, and a commission will never decide a confidence level or which alternatives we list. The details are on the affiliate disclosure page. There are no display ads.
Spotted a mistake?
Claims age, and we get things wrong. If a claim is wrong or out of date, or an image should not be here, tell us and we will look at it.
