### 4/5 — Great app but lacks functionality

*2026-09-05*

I really like this app and all the functionality regarding colognes and perfumes and genders and notes of fragrances however, I want to be able to compare fragrances whether it be the notes longevity overall review scores something on that line without having to switch from fragrance to fragrance

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! A comparison feature is now available in version 5.6.2 ☺️

### 3/5 — Filter

*2026-09-04*

Die filter und sortiermöglichleotek sind Schrott

### 4/5 — Reviewing after using for a few months….

*2026-09-04*

Love the app. Two things: How on earth do you make suggestions for fragrances not loaded in the app. My inventory is incomplete by 30 perfumes not found. Lastly, I wish I could download my inventory into a working document. Otherwise, it’s nice to see all of what I have and potentially new fragrances when looking up notes, etc.

### 2/5 — Details aren’t saving!

*2026-09-01*

Love everything about this app, but i just realized my details aren’t saving, bottle size and amount paid. would be great to set the currency default too, since i have to change it everytime. but more importantly, it’s cumbersome to track these details, and as soon as I input and click SAVE, i go back to the details and they are not there! so frustrating. also had a round of inputting and clicking DONE (not save) and having to reinput. going to have to track in a more reliable place.

**Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this! We’ve identified the saving issue, and a fix is coming very soon in the next version. We also appreciate the default currency suggestion 🙏

### 4/5 — Management between lists is missed

*2026-09-01*

I absolutely love this app to keep track of my perfumes and my wish perfumes! The only things which is missed for me is the opportunity to move perfumes between lists, like if I have something in my wish list and I bought it then I could just move it to “I have list”. 
That would be awesome!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the lovely feedback! We’re happy to hear you’re enjoying the app. Moving and copying perfumes between lists will be possible in the next version, so you’ll be able to easily move a perfume from your wishlist to your collection once you’ve bought it. 😊

### 2/5 — Missing

*2026-08-23, version 5.5.5*

This app can be good. It’s pretty easy to use. I have issues with a lot of missing brands and fragrances. Not sure how to add missing brands at all. How is adding done on the app? Keep working and it can be better

### 3/5 — Still missing some key features for me

*2026-08-19*

The app overall feels very smooth. But it’s still missing some key features from the website :  mainly the sort function. For example when you go to a brand, you want to see the most popular fragrances of that brand. In the app you can’t.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! 😊 This feature is actually available: just tap the filter icon in the top right when you’re on a brand page.

### 2/5 — Keeping current

*2026-08-16, version 5.5.2*

I find this app useful to an extent, however it is missing keeping with current listings. Such as, newer releases. I am missing a great deal from my collection due to no listings, especially on the ME fragrances.

### 5/5 — Amazing perfume app

*2026-08-12*

Such a great app. Was a bit difficult to figure out how to rate, but I love all of its features!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! The rating feature is easier to find in the latest version 😉

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-12, version 5.5.0*

Must have for any fragrance lover

### 3/5 — Great but…

*2026-08-09*

When I first tried the app it didn’t fit my needs so I deleted it.  I saw on social media where you could log your layering combinations and I decided to try again.  The app has definitely improved and I was able to log all of my scents except for a few but that was ok.  The problem I have is the limit on only being able to log two perfume layering combos on a day.  I layer three perfumes with one body spray so unfortunately the added tracker feature doesnt work for me.  Maybe one day it won’t be restricted, until then I will delete again.

### 3/5 — Difficult to add new products.  Unclear how random feature works.

*2026-08-01, version 5.4.13*

I would like to be able to add in my dupes for my own usage but it is impossible to get products added on the app even for personal use only.  I would love to be able to include perfumed lotions etc for layering combos.  And I would love it if there was a feature where you could combine season and occasion for more specific recommendations from your collection, and even better if you could select one randomly based on the season and occasion or sort from most suitable to least.  Finally I would love it if all dupes could be included on the site, not just dupes from major countries.  This app means a good amount of my fragrances cannot be viewed or compared to my other options when really I wanted to have them all in one database.

### 5/5 — Exceptional app

*2026-07-30, version 5.4.13*

Love the app

### 5/5 — My Favorite App

*2026-07-30, version 5.4.13*

This app is well made.  It has just the right amount of features.  It’s designed around scent enthusiasts.   It fosters a great community and knowledge base.

### 5/5 — New updates

*2026-07-29*

Hey guys! Just wanted to say I love all the new updates and I think the UI improvements look beautiful :)) The colour picker and the perfume consultant are so wicked. I'm not sure if you read these, and take as much time as you can because I know it can be a slightly painstaking process, but more discovery search options would be wonderful. For example: the ability to search by different decades in the "ranking" tab. Thanks for all you do from a perfume nerd :,)) <33

**Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely feedback and thoughtful suggestion! We're glad you're enjoying the latest updates, and we'll keep more discovery options, including decade filters, in mind 😊

### 5/5 — amazing :)

*2026-07-29, version 5.4.12*

Such a cool app! Parfumo has such a wide variety of fragrances. I wish more people used this

### 3/5 — Bug issues

*2026-07-26, version 5.4.11*

I love the app premise but I have been having major bug issues in building collections. I have to exit out of the search bar to add a new fragrance and it is really annoying.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-07-17*

Update: I am unable to use this app again for another week. I thought it finally got fixed but after working for 2 days it’s back to nothing loading. I don’t design apps and I don’t want to minimize the free work they put in so I hope it’s not too much trouble

I really love this app, I log my wears multiple times a day, especially love the randomizer that was added. I love that I can see the notes, accords, vote and share your own thoughts, keep track of how many wears, get recommendations, there’s too much to list! It’s everything that I am looking for

**Developer response:** Please send a email. We can schedule a support session to help you directly. 👍

### 4/5 — Okay, but….

*2026-07-13, version 5.4.9*

I’m trying to classify my fragrances and it doesn’t allow me to do that on the app like I can on the website. I’m trying to put it as leisure and such.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t login or make new account

*2026-09-08*

Cannot log into the app no matter what cannot create a new account. Works fine on the website. The app is absolutely useless.

### 1/5 — Schon wieder Loginprobleme

*2026-06-16*

Alle paar Wochen / Monate kann ich mich nicht mehr einloggen. Dabei vewende ich die App nur noch auf einem Device (weil Multi-Device ohnehin nie richtig funktionierte). Das nervt gewaltig.

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback! 🙏 Das ständige Ausloggen und die neue Menüführung schauen wir uns an. Bitte versuch, die App zu löschen und neu zu installieren – das hilft oft.

### 1/5 — Komplett verbuggt

*2026-05-25*

Die App bietet deutlich weniger Funktionen als die sehr gute Website. Meinetwegen, wenn die begrenzten Funktionen wenigstens funktionieren würden. Die App ist aber so gottlos verbuggt, dass es keinen Spaß macht, sie zu benutzen. Ständig wird die Suche oder der Filter zurückgesetzt, wenn man ein Parfum ausgewählt hat und zur Suche/Filter zurückkehren will. Ein Haufen Buttons funktionieren regelmäßig nicht, oft auch der Zurück-Button oder die Zurück-Wischgeste. Neuerdings wurde das Feld „Gut zu layern“ hinzugefügt, neben das bestehende Feld „Duftet ähnlich“. Nur leider werden jetzt unter „Duftet ähnlich“ häufig die Parfums angezeigt, die eigentlich unter „Gut zu layern“ angezeigt werden sollten. Warum auch bestehende Bugs beheben, wenn man stattdessen neue komplett verbuggte Funktionen hinzufügen kann?

**Developer response:** Danke für dein ausführliches Feedback! 🙏 Es tut uns leid, dass die App dir gerade Probleme bereitet. Damit wir dir gezielt helfen und die Fehler beheben können, würden wir uns über ein paar Details freuen (z. B. Gerät und iOS-Version). Melde dich gern über die Website beim Support!

### 1/5 — Nicht Nutzerfreundlich

*2026-05-21*

Stasi-like Moderatoren, die nen Gottkomplex haben und an allem etwas auszusetzen haben. Bewertungen und nicht erwünschte Wörter werden ständig gerügt. Diese Plattform wird totmoderiert.

### 1/5 — Letzte Update ist schrott

*2026-02-24*

man sieht nicht mehr oben rechts ob der duft unisex, herren oder damen ist

**Developer response:** Danke für deine Rückmeldung! 🙏 Die Anzeige, ob ein Duft unisex, für Herren oder Damen ist, wird in der aktuellen Version wieder oben angezeigt. Bitte aktualisiere die App auf die neueste Version, dann sollte alles wieder wie gewohnt da sein. Wir entwickeln die App stetig weiter und freuen uns, wenn du ihr nochmal eine Chance gibst 🙌

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2026-02-24, version 5.2.2*

Tried creating an account, went to
my email to verify, once i verified it said your account is now active you can now return back to the app. When doing so the app immediately went to a loading screen followed by a password or username is incorrect error. I’ve tried resetting password and also tried a separate email address. None have worked and I still am unable to get into the 2 accounts I just created. The app is broken, save your time and do not download this garbage.

### 1/5 — Just not good enough yet — terrible community

*2026-01-01, version 5.1.7*

The app is extremely limited, and there’s a ton of pretty common perfumes that are missing. But they have this opaque process for adding them that doesn’t even work properly in English, rejects stuff even with official sources for seemingly no reason, and refuses to give any explanation. Community is unhelpful. Back to Fragrantica I go. ETA: Knocking another star off for their little clique following people around online and being rude to anyone who dares to point out the problems with their culture. ETA2: This issue is discussed outside their community (where they won’t allow it), and there are a ton of us with this same experience. Denial isn’t going to fix this problem for you.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the review, but several points here are factually incorrect.

Fragrance additions are reviewed according to clear guidelines focused on data quality and source reliability. Rejections are not arbitrary, and many submissions are approved daily.

We actively moderate community interactions and do not tolerate harassment or clique behavior. Anyone experiencing issues is encouraged to contact support so we can address them directly.

We remain focused on improving the app for all users.

### 1/5 — Cannot reset password

*2025-11-03*

Awful help. Cannot reset password. Always reverts to German asking for the password I forgot. Always directs to website not app. Can’t find any contact email to contact. The password reset link doesn’t how you to the correct place to reset. You need to look for it. Don’t use this. Pick a different app. Garbage.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback 😕 We know the password reset and language switch can be frustrating, and we’re working on improving both so the process becomes much smoother. You can reach us anytime through the website support 📩 Thanks for sticking with us while we improve 🙌

### 1/5 — Klar. Einmal täglich neu einloggen…

*2025-08-08, version 5.0.9*

.. ich habe ja auch nichts besseres zu tun. Seit den letzten Updates wurde dieses Problem noch nicht in den Griff bekommen.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Must have for every fragrance enthusiast

*2026-09-02*

Extremely well designed app and of course Parfumo is always the best platform to review artisanal, niche, designer vintages and pretty much everything. 

I wouldn’t want people writing reviews using the app but would like the ability to rate them on the app.

### 5/5 — Best app for Fragheads

*2026-08-25, version 5.5.5*

If you love perfume then this app is a must for you. Can’t get any better.

### 5/5 — .

*2026-08-25, version 5.5.5*

Comma.

### 5/5 — Great !!

*2026-08-22*

I chose Parfumo to replace Fragrantica and it’s absolutely perfect, better even ! The last update what exactly what I needed from Parfumo to officially make it better, and they did it !! I absolutely recommended, great community, great interface (very aesthetic also), easy to learn, great option all around !!

### 5/5 — Best perfume tracker

*2026-08-19, version 5.5.4*

Please make it easier to suggest alternative images for fragrances in the app! Some fragrances have old outdated images.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-17, version 5.5.2*

Really good app, totally recommend if you have any interest in fragrances

### 5/5 — Incredibly useful app , UI looks perfect now

*2026-08-16, version 5.5.2*

I’ve been looking for an app to track my collection and visualize notes for so long. This has made it so easy , please keep doing what you’re doing I was super pleased to donate to this app :)

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-08-16*

Ótimo app para catalogar a coleção, descobrir novos perfumes e ajudar a decidir usos e compras

### 5/5 — MORE new updates and great developers

*2026-08-15*

Hey guys! Just wanted to write another review saying thank you so much for all the app improvements :) you guys listen to feedback on here which I love !! Keep being you and I love being able to rate/classify fragrances on the app now. The note blending feature is awesome!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely feedback and thoughtful suggestion! We're glad you're enjoying the latest updates, and we'll keep more discovery options, including decade filters, in mind 😊

### 5/5 — Great app but one thing

*2026-08-14*

I just discovered this app and love it! I do have a suggestion.  Since it’s missing quite a few indie perfumes—and it’s reasonably tedious to get perfumes added, it would be nice if you would let us add perfumes not registered on the site to our collection. For example, I have Coffee Bean Accord from Black Hearted Tart, I want to keep track of my full collection but this perfume is not on Parfumo, so i must leave it out. Maybe let us enter perfumes that are not on the site yet to our collection. It doesn’t have to be visible to anyone else or anything (: Also as another reviewer said, it would be great if we can layer more than 2 perfumes
