Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CandleMaking.com at 80% against perfume.com's 29%. CandleMaking.com also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 13.0). perfume.com's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 2.6) and ratings volume (918 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

perfume.com holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: perfume.com has 918 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of CandleMaking.com's written reviews are positive against 29% of perfume.com's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CandleMaking.com ships an update every 2 months, perfume.com every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
