Fragrantica is one of those few websites I'd say is 110% correct. Not only does it confirm my experiences, it actually enlightens. I was perplexed at why this coconut perfume doesn't smell very much like coconut - turns out it was being overwhelmed by vanilla scent. I have this oud perfume, which has the oud smell, but also something... rosy? But not rose. Searched Fragrantica and turns out it's a different kind of rose smell (and the complaints about it overwhelming the oud and being too feminine clicked too). It somehow gets the length of time and range of the perfume almost perfectly too. Considering how expensive a few drops of perfume are, I just love the site. I'll have to disagree with Gwern on the use of Fragrantica here - you don't read the comments. The comments are there to feed the AI summarizer. Then people democratically vote on which comments were most accurate. Fragrantica has one of the best usage of AI+rating algorithms I've ever seen; it just combines all kinds of weird stuff and spits out something incredibly accurate. Smell is so difficult to describe in words.
