    "what": "Publicly stated decant sizes, EU shipping terms, authenticity/sourcing approach, indicative per-decant price ranges, and stated market coverage for European-shipping perfume-decant retailers.",
    "sources": "Each retailer's own public website (FAQ / about / product pages) and their live Trustpilot profile. Scento figures use Scento's canonical entity facts plus a direct query of its production catalogue (median of 2ml/5ml/8ml one-time decant prices, n≈2,172 variants per size, in EUR).",
    "costPerMlMethod": "Scento cost-per-ml = median live catalogue price for each size ÷ millilitres, rounded to the cent. Competitor figures are quoted as the price RANGES stated on their own sites (sizes and what each range covers differ between retailers), not recomputed per-ml — so cross-retailer per-ml is intentionally NOT tabulated where the underlying size basis differs.",
    "reviewMethod": "Review profiles are linked live rather than tabulated as a static score. Trustpilot scores move continuously and review volumes differ by orders of magnitude between these retailers, so a frozen score column would be misleading. Read each live profile for the current picture.",
    "limitations": "This index is observational and associational, not a controlled test. Prices, sizes, shipping terms and claims change; figures are accurate as checked on 2026-06-18. Marketing claims (e.g. \"largest catalogue\", \"1,000+ samples\") are attributed to the retailer making them and are not independently verified. No blind smell test or lab assay was performed."
