Perfume Picks reads your taste into a Fragrance DNA. Then it hands you a scent to wear each day from the bottles you already own, and finds cheaper bottles that smell nearly the same. YOUR FRAGRANCE DNA Tap the scents you love and we read your palate into an archetype: The Seducer, The Connoisseur, The Purist, and more. It's your taste with a name on it, and it keeps sharpening every time you wear, swipe, or add a bottle. SCENT OF THE DAY Open the app to a scent chosen from your own wardrobe, matched to your DNA and the day, with a line on why it fits. Turn on the morning reminder and it arrives at 8am. CHEAPER BOTTLES THAT SMELL THE SAME Love a $300 bottle? We find dupes matched on accords, ranked by how close they smell and how much you'd save. Usually 30 to 70 percent less. YOUR WHOLE COLLECTION Track every bottle you own, want, or have tried, with remaining mL, price, and when you last wore it. Log a wear in one tap and it captures the day and occasion. Backdate up to two years, and log layering combos too. SCAN A BOTTLE Point your camera at a bottle and we'll identify it and add it to your wardrobe. SHARE YOUR DNA Send friends your archetype and they can go find out theirs. YOUR YEAR IN SCENT Perfume Wrapped turns your wear history into a recap you can share: top houses, top families, the bottles you reached for most.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Perfume Advisor at 4.7 against Perfume Picks's 3.7. Perfume Advisor also leads on ratings volume (346 vs 6). Perfume Picks's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days) and review sentiment (50% vs 39%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Perfume Advisor sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Perfume Picks sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Perfume Advisor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perfume Advisor has 346 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Perfume Advisor's written reviews are positive against 50% of Perfume Picks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Perfume Advisor ships an update every 9 days, Perfume Picks every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
