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.
